*Hope nodded and followed silently. When they reached the lake, she stopped and sat down, leaving Karver to attened the new-comer. Just who was this Lioness that seemed to know Karver? She was a young adult, that obviously still had the rebelious mindset of a teen. Rebelous, because Hope could still smell her former pride on her, even at the distance which she sat. Hope had long left her teen years behind, and being an adult for aslong as she had now, she was ready to settle. She had been a young teen,. just turneed adult, when she entered Moyo's pride. Since her stay there, she began to understand the conforts of a pride, and why one would want to leave, she didn't know. She left with Karver, when he went to start his pride, because,...well,...at first it was because she didn't want him to be alone, but then deeper thought on it revealed to herself that she loved the young adult male.
He had grown fast during the time she had known him. From a cub, to a handsome adult, and that did bring up a disconfort that she -had- watched him mature, whilst she was already in adulthood, but then she reasoned to herself;
'you can't help who you fall in love with, or who teaches you love, for love itself knows no bounds. Be it race, age, gender, or bloodline, the one who steals your heart is the one you love. period.'
and with that thought, she raised her head up high, and looked to the new multi-colored lioness, and watched as the water would surely bring her back to the land of the living,....then she noticed Fayola, and responded in a hushed tone*
Shhh. We have a visitor,....

The lioness barely felt him hoist her over his strong back, her eyes closed and it looked as if she fainted. Pastel lay limply across the King's back and if she would have known she would have been 10 shades of pink. As he set her down next to the lake as he walked over to it with her still upon his back, she was just suffering from a little heat exhaustion as she had traveled so far and mostly across the desert to get from Rackna's to Karver's. The cool water that was splashed on her face felt very good to her, in fact it was slightly cooler over next to the water. The pretty pastel colored lioness stirred where she lay on the shore. It was starting to bring her around. "Mmm..."

'Good..she's coming to.' He thought splashing a little more water upon the female. Why had she left? Why didn't she stay with Rackna? He had a strong pride and strong harem of females, and yet this one still had to follow him. Karver shook his head and nudged her gently with his paw. "Pastel..wake up now." The King began to wonder how she made it across the desert. He was use to it of course because he always moved around in it during Moyo's Pride days, but..she wasn't. He gave a small chuff toward her and nudged her again. He took a quick glance over at Hope and gave his female another wink. Wait..did he just thought of her as his female? He didn't even know if she loved him for Goodness sake! Karver, silently in his mind, and deep in his heart, hoped so. "Pastel..can you hear me?"

*Hope continued to watch, and gave a quick soft smile to Karver when he looked over to her. She had heard him speak the lioness' name, and she had to admit, it fit. The female was pretty, more slender than she. All hope had was her plain pink furrr, with various places that actually had some other color to it, like the dark pink star on her fore head -usually covered by her longer head furr- and the heart on her chest, the same hue as her star. Other than shades of pink, she had a light teal on her,....wing markings around her heart, and upon her tail feathers and flakes. Hope was nothing spectacular. Pastel had beutiful whites, pinks, yellows,...lots of colors and patterns, much like Karver. Hope was also not the most slender, though she wasn't cubby. a bit and she sort side, yes, but she couldn't help that, and her weight was due to her inability to be a successful hunter,..she couldn't run as fast as most lions,...and what she was capable of, was only in short bursts. She was more of the Home-loving 'I'll play with you, but don't expect me to go out and hunt afterwards' type.
Hope could tell this lioness had energy, and abilities that she couldn't offer.
Her ears lowered,..Karver would find Pastel better than she, more capable than she,...Hope let out a soft sigh. Her legs were begining to go wobly beneath her, and she felt if she had to speak she wouldn't be able to keep a steady voice. It was a feeling she didn't feel when La Saia or Fayola were around Karver,..and Hope didn't understand why this lioness would cause her to feel so inferrior. She didn't like feeling like this. It reminedher of Wategra, her older sister, and when she would put Hope down*

Fayola watched the pink lioness and the King of the pride. In her opinion, Pastel didn't stand a chance. From a outsider and third-person view she was able to see the fact that Karver loved Hope. The young Hunt Mistress pushed her head into a strong pink shoulder, purring loudly. "Don't worry about that other lioness, Hope..." She smiled up at her, gold eyes gleaming. "If she tries to get inbetween you and Karver I can give her a good run around the oasis."
((you put LaSaia instead of Li Na, Angel-chan!))

"Such wild ideas, my heart...why don't you try? You won't be rid of me."

Li Na sighed she still could hear Ilice in the back of her head. She looked back into the water at her reflection again then distorted the image with a swipe from her paw. "Hmph..." was all she had to say. With nothing to do or eat she decided to get her mind off from food and groom herself. As she started with her paw she caught something in the corner of her eye, she raised her head up to see what it was and it was her second chance. A lone gazelle whom must of separated from its herd was wandering around in circles unaware that it was near the lion's den. A smirk formed on her face and she licked her fangs. "Come to mama baby..." She continued on by blending in with the tall grass stalking her prey

A yawn, followed by a faint attempt at a growl came from a patch of vegetation nearby the gazelle, scaring it towards the opposite direction. Where Li Na stood, the sound was barely understandable, but as one went closer, a single word could be percieved as it was repeated over and over again. "Mommy... Mommy..." An orange young cub layed down, trembling in fear, the feathery tail coiled around her in search for protection.

(( I know I don't have to post her image but it helps me write for her. 3nodding heart heart Sorry if it offends anyone. sweatdrop )) It felt like every single fiber of the adult lioness' was numb and could not move at all, Pastel's still feverish but felt totally exhausted but thristy as a normal person who was sick normally was but when she traveled so far across the desert there was very little water except for in the food she managed to find. Though she would recover with a day or two of rest, water and a cool place one should be happy its nothing more severe such as Heat stroke.
Her body moved slightly as he spoke to her and nudged her, but her eyes stayed closed, too exhausted to do so and it was like she was unconscious in a way the way she responded. Though she didn't have much to live for as she was kicked out of Rackna's pride.

((no its ok. Do whatever you have to 3nodding ))
Karver gave an exasperated sigh and splashed her with some more water. She was obviously hot to the touch. The King new that traveling in the desert was dangerous. She should have stayed close to the river. Giving a small huff, he grabbed her scruff and put her deeper into the cool waters so that her head rested on the bank. Karver slowly walked away from her toward Hope. He was slightly wet so he shook off his body. "Ok..about that talk.." He murmured softly and motioned for her to sit. He would have to explain from the beginning.

A couple of grunts and screetches can be heard until silence filled the air. Li Na had sucessfully taken down the wayward gazelle all by herself. But her victory was spoiled when she heard a faint voice nearby. Li Na looked around pawing at the grass until she came up a small young orange cub repeating "Mommy" over and over. Li Na sighed the baby reminded her of her past. She decided to take the young one back with her but she didn't want to leave her kill behind. "Hey kid Im not going to kill you. If you can walk and keep up then you may want to follow me. Im not leaving my dinner here for nothing."

Karver was silent for a few minutes. He let the wind pass before he began to speak. "Hope..truthfully...I don't really know her. Apparently she knows me. Remember when I went across the desert to Rackna's Pride? She had requested to join my pride, but she didn't tell me about fighting Rackna. Truthfully, it wasn't worth the risk. It was either that or trade you for her...I would never do that..even if it was on my life..." He gave her a soft look then continued. "Apparently, after I left, she became quite upset and I guess ran off to find me. I don't know the full details and won't know until she comes to.." The King gave a soft sigh and looked over at Hope with tired eyes. "I'm really sorry...I guess I'm more trouble than I'm worth.." Karver felt it was his fault for bringing this onto Hope. He could see it..feel her emotions that she was upset over this whole ordeal. He wanted to make her happy again, but he just couldn't turn away Pastel. For now, he would help her get her strength back before doing much of anything else. Karver stood near to her waiting for a reply.

Seeing that the two leaders of the Pride had decided to talk, the green lioness padded over to the pool to keep an eye on the newcomer.
~~
"A cub..." Ilice's voice was strangly quiet, fading in the background.

Hope nodded understandingly and sighed, "It's okay, I really shouldn't be this worked up over things," she shrugged, then nuzzled Karver under the chin. She knew her sudden moddiness was uncalled for, but it was just a gut feeling she had.
