-It was amazing.. as a child how slow things seemed to progress. The world spinning so painfully slow. And yet, as the days slid away, they only did so more and more quickly. More thoughts plaguing the mind. More worries and responsibilities. More to do and seemingly less time. Things happened so fast.
Nothing could have been closer to the truth then for Kami.. The blossoming love as she finally confessed her feelings to her childhood friend. The death of her parents. The responsibilites of having to pick up the throne and carry on no matter how she ached. The small lives growing within her. Each thing in it's own was a heavy thing. But all of them tucked and pulled into a matter of months.. it'd all slid off of Kami as best she could manage.
Only to come back in a wave today.. as she settled herself gently alongside the watering hole. Perhaps it was because she was alone.. and far too tired to carry her heavy body back to her duties that the thoughts had been able to creep up on her. Perhaps the hormones added to the weight. But whatever it was a sigh unlike any other racked through the golden lioness on his day, and she shifted to lay on her side, subconciously trying to hold the tears that threatened her eyes.-

 Mchele had been headed to the waterhole himself. Tired from hunting... or rather, attempting to hunt. His mind was certainly not on the task and the outing had been a failure. It was disappointing, not for Mchele himself but because others would go hungry. Well no, most likely the other hunters in the Pride would be more successful. But Mchele did want to help... why couldn't he help anyone? Not his mother, not his sister.... No, he shook his head, clearing the thoughts. It was those thoughts that had put him off his hunting. Perhaps some cool water would help sooth his head and this throat.
He walked slowly through the grass to the watering hole he knew so well. The pool he had knocked his sister into accidently when they had been cubs playing. It was as he was just about to part the grass and step into the clearing when he heard the sigh.
Stepping into sight, he couldn't help but be surprised to see that the sound had come from the new queen. He blinked and then dipped his head. "Oh Kam- ah, majesty. I didn't know you were here..." He corrected himself quickly. He was still unaccustomed to seeing this closely aged lioness in such a position of power, despite knowing she would always inherit it one day. Nor was he really used to talking to royalty, he had rarely talked to any of the princes and princesses.

((Sorry for the delay love XD I have so many rps in the pridelands that I get kind of intimidated, and these guys get neglected sometimes.))
-Kami's eyes flicked gently to the intrusion, not even really trying to hide her displeasure from the newcomer, thought curtoisy and status would have begged she should have. However the softest tugs of a smile touched her maw at the sight when finally she settled on it.
For being a queen, she knew SO few of the pride members by name. Pitiful yes.. but with her shyness, and the sheer numbers it was the truth. This one however. She remembered him from her own cubhood. She knew his name.
And she revealed in that fact softly, as she spoke a gentle hello.- "Hello Mchele." -Stumbling on the greeting, not much in the mood for a 'lovely morning?' or "wonderful day is it?", she finally added on lamely.- "I am.. simply resting. Thinking."
"Did you come for a drink?"

(( No problem. You never need to feel intimidated by me. heart ))
Mchele's eyes glaced up from his bowed head. Seeing the faint smile on the lioness's face, he allowed himself to sit and relax into a more normal position. As he did so, he couldn't help smiling himself. A silly, simple little thing, but having your name remembered by someone so important gave a warming feeling. Especially as he was very similar to Kami (though unbeknownst to him) in that he knew very few others in the pride, only remembering the names of those from his childhood.
"Ah I did. Hunting in the heat of day dries my throat rather quickly." He replied, although he instantly regretted mentioning the hunting part... if she asked him what he'd caught he'd have to admit he'd failed. There was no lying to the queen, and nor could he bring himself to do it. There'd been too many lies lately....
He lowered his head once more, this time not in a polite bow but to lap thankfully at the cool water. "Mmhmm." He murmered once he'd finished, a couple of droplets hanging from his chin until he hurriedly licked them away. "I didn't mean to intrude, if you wanted to rest alone. There must be alot to think about when in your position? I cannot image..."

-Luckily for him, her complete ineptitude in hunting kept her silent about his words, simply a polite nod of acknowledgment touching the words. She'd feel like a fool if he mentioned something she'd never seen or done.
Ears twitching gently as he spoke, she was dragged away from her musings, and softly she stirred, musing with a heavy sigh.- "I think these thoughts would be just as heavy if I weren't a queen..."
-Perhaps she was subconconiously asking for company.. an ear. As lately Ta was far too happy for words as unpleasant as the ones that plagued her mind right now. Not that it was right to subject the lion before her to them. But her mind was too heavy with thoughts to think of that, and gently she shifted to try and be comfortable.-

It wasn't hard to hear the sigh. At first Mchele though perhaps she was weary and needed to be alone. But her comment made him pause. Something just as heavy? Then... it couldn't be about a royalty topic. He thought and then mentally hit himself. He was so caught up in his own woes that he had forgotten that here was Kami, daughter to the late king. Of course he knew about the king's death and it upset him him just as much as it did any other loyal subject. But here was one of his family...
His gaze softened, looking at her as one who had felt similar things. He felt them even now. The pain, the loss. As he watched her shift her position he was convinced that was the problem he was dwelling on. As humbly as he could, he laid himself down by the water's edge, looking in the pool and watching the ripples, not meeting her eyes.
"But as heavy and as painful for any child..." He ventured quietly.

-"Yes... I imagine most of my siblings greive just as much as I do.." -It was truth and a lie all at once. For whatever selfishness exsisted within her tried to cry that SHE was the one that hurt the most. That the others simply lost their parents. She's lost her parents, her twin, her first family..
But thankfully she didn't let those thoughts spill out, simply shifting her child heavy body delicately in direction of his. And though she too didn't look directly at him, it was apparent that her words and attention had settled upon the familar creature.- "Have you too been burdened with such a loss? I had not heard such a thing... But it is hard for one to answer the way you have without having experienced atleast something painful."
