The green lioness blushed, ducking her head. "I have one problem with staying here, King Kallivenion..." She glanced back the way she came. "I am part of Karver's Pride..." The gold eyes went back to the male and then to his land. This land intrigued her. The oasis was boring, but they needed her with that new lioness there. Yet this land called out to her adventurous spirit.

"Problem?" Kall turned to Fayola, eyeing her as she spoke.
He smiled as her eyes swept over his lands, and he recognized the longing in them.
From the foot of the mountains to the tangled wall of trees and grasses, his land was riddled with secrets.. A home you would never grow tired of, because you loved it so.. It called to your heart, bound it to the grass and roots of the trees, the water and rock and sky. His heart was already firmly bound to this place, and from Fayola's eyes... He could see the trees and earth and sky reaching toward her. They were already pulling her in.
"You like it here... Don't you?" He asked softly, brushing her shoulder and leading her away from Whisper and Blare so they could speak. "You would stay?"
His heart tightened and he glanced at the ground for a moment, speaking in a soft voice. "Because, if your King let you leave... And you have found a place you love... I will protect you, I will fight for you, because you want to stay here.. And because I want you to."

The breath seemed to be snatched straight from her lungs. Gold eyes stared at the King with something akin to shock. Had he truly said that? He wanted her there? Her ears swiveled forward, flakes vibrating. She could hear just fine and knew that he had been truthful.
"Oh..." She nuzzled his brown mane, hiding her red and green face in it. "I would love to stay here...Kallivenion...There...there is another lioness in the Pride who could provide for the Pride..." She wanted to stay so badly. Her sense of honor would not let her just stay without letting Karver know.

Kall purred deeply, rubbing his cheek against her as she buried her face in his thick mane. He smiled and sighed.
"I would dearly love it if you stayed with me..." The muscles in his back tightened. "And I will go with you to speak to your King. Would you like to stay here for a few days before you make up your mind on staying?"
He glanced at his lands again.
"There is no reason to rush your decision."

"I have already decided that I will stay with you." It felt so right here. Her heart already belonged to this male. Love at first sight? You better believe it.
She sidled a bit closer, the red in her face starting to fade.

Kall eased, glancing at her and nodding.
"If you have already decided where you wish to be, than I am only too happy to have you here with me. "
A deep purr rumbled through him and he leaned against her, nuzzling her throat. 'She already means so much to me...'

"When will we go, King?" She nipped him, some playfulness returning. "After we eat, of course."

Kall laughed and batted at Fayola with a massive forepaw in reply to her tease. She was an endearing thing, captivating and lively. He shook out his mane and drew himself up, smiling at the silver lioness and cub not far from them.
"Well enough then.. We shall eat, and see that Whisper and Blare are settled in... And then we shall go talk with this old king of your's, and see what will become of us."
As he approached the dining pair, he wondered why he felt drawn to both the females so deeply. Like he had known them both for so long. Blare, Whisper's boldly colored son, was an intriguing thing too. The king smiled at the young lion as he ate, and wondered of their lives.

Whisper smiled slightly to the kind King and the friendly green lioness, and walked slowly, if not warily over to the zebra carcass as they walked off to talk. She motioned for Blare to come to, and he did so eagerly. They were soon wolfing down the meat, unaware of how hungry they had been until now.
Blare's muzzle was quickly stained red as he quickly dug into the food, ignoring his mother's warning of eating slowly. He was so hungry!

Kall returned to the kill and sat, watching the horizon in search of any Hyena, or new lions that would be approaching his land. He glanced around, and decided he would be able to see better upon the plateau.
"If you will excuse me." He purred, then trotted over to the slopeing edge of the plateau, walking up the 'ramp' and seating himself upon a rock outcropping with a higher vantage point.
Just large enough he could lay down upon it, the outcropping was as high as he was tall, and marked the edge of the plateau. The sun beat down on him, but the wind was cool, and with the waterfall rushing nearby, there was a slight mist about the rocky perch.
The chocolate and cyan king was shrouded in mystery and mist, and glistened in the sun. 'Home.'

Kall saw to it that Whisper and Blare were comfortable within the Lands, and then set out toward Karver's Lands. As he moved beyond his own borders, he wondered what the other King would say, or think...
"Hello I'm Kall." He thought to himself. "I'm here to take Fayola because she liked my lands.. D'you mind?"
He laughed and stretched, then broke into a fluid run. "Time to face the Sun."

The green huntress purred happily when she entered her new home. It felt good to be here, that feeling of rightness welling up inside. Along with something else. The purr ground to a halt and she sank to the ground as a small pain passed through her womb.
"Kall..." Gold eyes looked to her King. "I think it's time..."
The large bulge of her stomach rippled as the muscles clenched down again. "It's definitely time." She gasped out.

Kallivenion, having hesitated at the entry way to survey his lands, trotted to her with a concerned expression. He nosed her gently. "What can I do? Can I do anything for you?"
The sun was sinking, and glancing around, Kall caught no sign of Whisper and Blare. He was saddened the grey lioness wasn't there, for he was sure he could use her help, but the absence of her cub was probably a blessing.
He nosed Fayola again.

"Water..." There was no way she was moving now and fetching water would keep the expectant father busy. Not to mention she was unbearably thirsty.
The contractions were coming faster and faster, the pain increasing as her body made the few last preperations for the birthing. A pained yowl left her mouth as a unexpectedly hard contraction caused her to dig her claws into the earth.
