The young pridelander prince had managed to make his way towards the borders of the desert -- that also join up with the Pridelands. Wounded, tired and exhausted from his overall journey, he limped his way in.
He padded lightly through some tall brush, unseen. His light yellow and cream pelt allowed him to blend in with yellow-hued land. He kept his head low, in shame for abandoning his family. He didn't want to get involved in fights. Sighing, Kijito flopped over onto a boulder nearby, to rest himself from his travels.

Trig had just left the Maziko Pride and led right into the Pride Lands. However...he was not aware of the place he was. His destination was the Pride Rock, in the Pride Lands, and the lioness he was looking for was the Queen Sarabi. His mother's wish was to meet her and with his father's directions...he had a habit of getting lost. Now he seemed a bit lost in the desert just north of the Maziko pride in the Elephant Graveyard. Hot sand under his paws made him flinch and jump with every step to the point of running.
As he was running he had spotted something upon a boulder. What was it? Curious and concerned, the lion stayed low and approached.
"Are you...alright?"

Kijito looked up as a voice reached his ears. Cocking his head slightly to the left, he peered around with tired eyes. Upon sighting the young male, Kijito stood up on the rock with a slight wince. He had a large cut down his right hind leg, having gotten into a fight in the desert. Staring at the male, he grinned slightly, though said nothing to his question.

Trig was a rather large lion, much larger than the regular Pride Landers being born from a rogue and a lioness of the Pride Lands. Who knew what blood ran in his father's side of the family, but whatever it was....made him rather big. His body seemed to tower over the other, his muscles toned out through years of running and hunting at least he could protect anyone he wished to and aid those in need. This one here, looked like he needed someone to help.
"Come on, lets get you out of here. That would doesn't look good. Let's go wash it out and keep it clean, okay?"
He did not care if he rejected his help for the fact was, Trig was prepared to drag him to a water hole if he had too. He grabbed at the lion's hackles, the bit of loose skin used for carrying others around as a cub, and eased him upon his back.
His teal eyes looked around quickly for a the closest water hole. The grass lands before him seemed like a good place to find one.
"Hold on, sir. I will take care of you."

Kijito blinked, having never been treated this way by another lion, except for his parents when he was a cub. However instead of protesting like his siblings would have, he allowed the young male to assist him. They must be quite a sight, a male helping another male to walk. Shaking his head slightly, he wished that he could speak only to thank this male for his help.

The water hole was not far from where they were, a good mile or so. He placed the other lion down and moved him toward the water's edge. His first priority was to wash out the wound of sand and other infectants. His body sank into the water as he poured water carefully over the water, sliding his paw gently over the wound trying his best not to harm the other male. He continued on with this process until he felt that there was nothing left to be cleaned off. No more blood as it was just the raw skin now. Trig took a breath and shook his body of water after pulling out of the water.
"Okay, now we just got to rest here a bit, got to make sure that it stays clean unless you would want to die or lose that limb. Just do as I say and you'll be alright."
He spoke as he laid down beside the other lion. Looking back to him he could see his body more clearly. Scars over his muzzle, it seemed like this one had a rough life or fight or that he was just an aggressive lion. Looking at his fur he could tell something else about him. Those colors were proned to the Pride Landers. They were defiantly not an aggressive pride, no, they were a peaceful one. THen again, he could just be a rogue.
"So....what's your name? My would be Trigger."

Kijito remained silent as the other lion cleaned out his wound, not that he could say anything. However as the male asked his name, Kijito opened his mouth before closing it and shaking his maned head. Trying to show that he could not speak. The young prince grinned at the male, his eyes filled with appreciation for the help he had just recieved. Cocking his head to the left, Kijito watched the male curiously, only now just realizing how large the fellow male was.

Trig cocked an eye brow. What was wrong with him. Trig moved closer to him and narrowed his eyes. He just opened his mouth and shook his head. No eating? Not hungry? No teeth? No...voice?
"You're....a mute?"
He asked. Well, that was a bit of a complication...Trig put a paw on his shoulder and smiled at him.
"It's alright, I am sure that you can live without it. But if you do want it back I am sure someone can help with it. But...that would be rather strange to be able to talk after not being able to for all of your life."
The large male laughed. He felt sort of much more comfortable with this other male around. It was unusual since he tried to avoid all meetings with others as it was just not for him. He tried to hide himself, but his body just would not do him any good. With a sigh he smiled to the other male.
"...is there a way for me to know you name? What should I call you?"

A look of deep concentration crossed his face as he tried to come up with some way to tell the male his name. Cocking his head slightly to the left, Kijito blinked several times. This was proving to be harder then he thought it to be. Kijito couldn't understand why life had to be so hard for him. How many times had he wished that he could speak?

Trig chuckled and patted his back.
"It's alright, I can just call you Pride Lander I suppose."
He looked around to see if there was anything else to do. Apparently not. He shrugged and looked back to the Pride Lander.
"Maybe you should rest a while, I'll keep watch over you until you wake up. But I got places to go...."

Kijito nodded to the male lion. Moving a small distance away from him, the injured male curled up. Blinking sleepily, Kijito allowed his body to relax and his eyes to drift close as he slept.

Trig moved closer to the other male and laid himself down nearby, keeping his eyes on the others wounds and also things around them. Soon enough he too fell asleep.
