The white streak which flowed up his nose wrinkled as he crossed the border in to the lands he had once called home. His birthplace, the pridelands. He would always remember this place for it's loving embrace, for it's gentle upbringing. He had been raised well by his parents and he returned to tell them and his sisters where he was. He could not leave them in the dark wondering where he had gone. He missed his family now that he lived by the sea but his heart yearned to return there with every passing moment. He could not stay in the lands of pride for long, he would need to return to the salty swell, return and continue his hopeful integration in to the sea pride.
Taking a deep breath of the warm savannah air, his onyx coloured eyes surveyed the sights before him, happy memories flooding to his minds eye. Nodding to noone but himself he turned towards the place where he and his sisters were born. Pehraps one, or all of them were still there, though he knew this was probably simply a silly fantasy he hoped perhaps he could at least find his sisters so that they could pass on the news of his life before his wrestless paws would return him back to the sea where he belonged now.

 'Kota wasn't the only one with restless paws. A pair of pink ones waved dreamily in the air as the lioness whom they belonged to dozed in and out of sleep. She was laying on her back, her fur warmed by the sun. Half asleep she knew it was getting hot and she would have to move sometime to find shade or a drink.
Kilua liked to dream, it was a peaceful activity. But her dreams themselves were much more exciting. Dreams of the world beyond the pride's boarders. Dreams of chasing and playing and exploring. It bought her back to her cub days.... and in her dreams she was often doing these things with her brother. He had a taste for adventure. That was why he had done something about it, gone to explore for real. If only she could stop dreaming and do something about it herself!

The huge dark lion padded silently towards his old den, feeling glad that hemust soon come upon the place where he was born only to pause, surprised that a female lay in his path. A rougish grin turned his lips, showing a flash of those pale sharp fangs. "Ahoy thar lassy, ye be lookin' like ye be meltin' in tha sun thar!" He paused then, his shadow falling accross the form of his sister. He took a breath, that cheeky roguish smile fading as he looked upon the dozeing lioness. On closer inspection he could not mistake the pretty femme for who she was. "Kilua?" A question yes, but one he already knew the answer too, he could not mistake his own sister after all.
His long, jet black mane fell forwards in to his eyes as he looked down at his smaller sister, he had grown exceptionally large since last he had seen her, he remembered those days of cub hood beside her, exploreing the 'world' of the pridelands. he even reembered this spot, one of many they had explored together not so far fromt he den where they had been born and raised. "Kilua..It has been so long..Ye grew up wit out me lookin'" He grinned, his piratish accent returning along with a cheerful quip of laughter.

The lioness blinked at the mention of melting. "Hhhur?" She mumbled rolling over and blinking her eyes. All she saw at first was a black silhouette against the sun. It could have been anyone and the voice had an accent she didn't recognise.
It was a suprise then to hear the other lion say her name. "Who are..." She struggled to sit up, blinking hard to clear her sleepy eyes. As she did so she saw more detail in the lion. He wasn't just a silhouette, he actually was black and with a white mark down his face. Not to mention the same eyes....
"'Kota!!" She piped, a grin forming instantly. "You're back? Tell me I'm not dreaming still!" She stood up, taking a turn around hm to see for herself. "I've grown? Look at you! You must be bigger than dad even!"

The jet black male smiled winningly at the pale dusty pink femme, his coal black eyes grinning. "Travlin' will do that to ya." He smiles and nudges his nose to his smaller sister, his large, thick black mane a stark contrast against the pale female. A slight flash of pale tooth between his lips sparkled in the sun and he gave a gentle playful growl. "You ain't dreamin sis, I'm 'ere" he chuckled softly, she was just like he remembered, well, not just she was bigger and prettier, she reminded him of his mother. "You grew up pretty as mum." he licked ehr cheek then and gave a sigh.
"I'm back fer a lil bit lassy, I ave ta get back ta tha sea, tis me 'ome away from 'ome now." he smiled gently then, a rather silly look crossing his dark, white streaked maw. "I jus' came back ta let ye know I still be a livin', nottin' managed ta take me out." Giving a little nod he sat slowly and watched his sister, had he really changed so much since he was a youngster? He remembered fondly this spot, the adventures they'd had, the lives they had lead in this place, the places they had explored, the things they had seen. Every step was a new adventure, and now, they were grown up and living differnt dreams, he was still exploreing the world and she was, well all grown up...
"Hows mam and dad? Are they well?" raising a curious brow he tilted his head slightly, a pirate he may have been, and this place was no longer his home, buthe still cared for those here, his family, those that had raised and nurtured him in a place that he would always love and visit. This place would always be the home of his childhood. "Hows trina? She still gettin' 'erself in ta trouble?" So many questions he wished to ask, yet already he could feel the seas cool salty claws pulling him back towards the rolling waves.

Kilua eagely nuzzled him back. No she wasn't dreaming, she recognised his scent instantly, though it had something else mingled with it. A dampness, like the scent of water but.... different. More smelly water. "Yes you are! Oh I missed you! Where have you been? You smell kinda different.... The sea? Is that what that is?" She asks him in wonder. She'd never seen the sea. Maybe it made you talk different too. She chuckled but smiled all the while. Whatever he sounded or smelt like, he was still her brother and she wouldn't have him any other way.
"I doubt even the Firekin could get you now!" She exclaims. "And mum and dad, yeah there're still here. Trina's gone though.... Oh nothing bad! Just the family wonderlust I guess. She went off somewhere, I haven't heard from her." She looks off to the distance, thinking of the sister she never really got so close to. Not as close as she was to 'Kota at any rate.
She turns back quickly to him though. "So how long you going to be about? You have to come say hi to mum and dad! And hang out with me a bit. I've been bored without you!"

The jet black face of the sea fareing lion cracked in a pleased grin and he hugged his litter sister happily, curling his neck over hers and giving a rather pleased laugh. "Aye lassy I been ta tha sea an' back agin' 'tis a wunnerful place lass, ye should come 'n visit some time."
He gave a grin as he sat back on his haunches, the pale streak which ran up his maw turning skywards. "Aye lass, I'll be about fer a day or so, gotta feed me weary belly afore I returns back ta ma homeward shores. I'll bout have ta fin' mam and dad ta lettum know I'm still live 'n kickin'." At the news of Trina the shadowy males brow furrowed. "I ope she's keepin' her sel' outta trouble." He grinned then, he hated to think that his sisters were in trouble or for that matter not happy.
"harhar! I 'member when we was cubs an' we'd bout get lost across tha pridelan's bout worried mam an' dad ta death. You know, ye should come with me lassy. If ye be bored hyar, thar be a whole otha place by tha sea an' I be bout reaconin' you'd be welcome. Yanno I'd look afta ye." He grins, and an almost hopeful nod tilted his dark head. His little sister, he most definately would love to have her with him. "I learnd ow ta foller the stars we wouldn't git lost any more, but I'm sure we could ave a good few adventures ey?"

(( Oh I'm soooo sorry Syrius! What with my own thread things and rl, I've completely neglected this thread. Sorry for such a late reply. sad heart ))
"Wonderful?" She repeated, curiously. "What's it like? Smells wet." She wrinkled her nose but grinned at him, teasing him good-naturedly. "Well I would love to come visit!" Even if she ended up smelling like that. It'd be worth it to spend time with her brother again.
"You know how to follow the old kings? They guide you?" She murmered in awe. That was pretty impressive! Of course, you'd never get lost if that was the case. "Sure! I'd love to come and visit. Not that I'm bored here... but, well there's so much to see. I want to see the sea before I come back. And live with you again, if only for a while. But I'm sure dad won't mind when he's seen how big you've grown. You'd have no problem looking after me. Not that I can't take care of myself..." She showed her fangs in a playful growl, just like she used to when they play-westled as cubs, pretending to prepare to pounce on him. "Heehee! Oh well come and see Dad. I know where he is!"
