-So it was indeed her affections that had done it, and yet not exactly how she'd imagined. She'd not even thought of that in fact, even after the apparent attention her affections had continued to bring from the males she met in the few days after the 'incident'. She'd taken it all as pushing away.. when really it was pulling her closer to protect her.-
"Oh Ta....." -She immediately moved forward, her body pulling her towards him, pausing only when she actually reached him, stopping herself from the nuzzle that her subconcious had sent her forward to give.-
"If only I'd known.." -Letting her head hang softly, she asked another question, even if it was out of turn.- "How.. how do I know what's slow enough?"

He seemed to find her presence unnerving a bit, the aticipation catching in off guard. She was so close, yet so far, and it caused his heart to hammer and his head to spin lightly. Swallowing, he tried to focus on her question. For some reasion, after his declairation, the emotions just seemed to be demanding stronger.
"At first...you dont..." He murmered lightly, acting on his instints to answer the question, "But when suddenly, all comfort disappears and something is screaming of regrets...and you ask yourself 'is this what I want...right now?' ...and that answer is no...that is too fast. But...sometimes, when you find the right lion, there is a paitence with them, and they are willing to go step-by-step through. Nothing is too slow, and they know when to make sure you aren't going to fast. The pace...it is perfect." Letting out a nervous chuckle, he shook his head.
"And Kami, you asked out of turn...unless you want to forfit the game..." He smiled at her, teasing lightly.

-The softest hints of a laugh touched her, not a malicous or mean one.. but atleast one of relief. He sounded so much like her dad right now, and that comfort in wisdom and guidance brought a smile to her downturned maw.-
"I guess I did, didn't I?"
"Well.. if you still have things you'd like to ask, then you can ask two questions now to make up for it.. otherwise, I don't mind losing so much this time."

He pondered a moment, before suddenly grinning.
"Alright, here is my first question...did you like this game?" He asked seriously, no sign of any joke.
"And to build off that question," he added, "would you agree that, whenever we are asking eachother questions, we play with the same rules as this game? As in, we always tell the truth...because Kami...I like asking questions and answering yours. I like working things out like this."
His eyes faded from her gaze along with his voice as he smiled lightly, "And truthfully...I missed my best friend as well." Letting out a deep breath of a laugh, he just glanced up at her.
"Remember, these necklaces tell everyone we are best friends, and as long as I have mine on, or you have it in your paws, I am willing to stay best friends with you."

-Ah easy questions! Smiling again, she answered his question with a strong nod.- "I did actually. It was a hard game at some points.. but I always like playing games with you Ta."
-Gaining a soft tease she mused.- "And who knows! It might be one I can actually beat you in, one of these days."
-And his second question was a no brainer. After the fiasco.. with so much pain for the two of them after something that could have been fixed if she'd taken the time to try and talk. She'd learned her lesson.
As he continued on she grinned, her tail flicking in a moment of contentment, before musing towards him simply.- "I'm so glad we traded the jewelry then."
-Turning her gaze out to the horizon she wondered where to go from here, and finally glanced at Ta once again.- "What would you like to do next?"

"I am not sure, actually..." He murmered, and noticed the day was too far gone for them to really get in any adventures nor any games. Yet, it was not his mind that came up with an answer, but his stomach. The rumbling that filled the den was soft, and like a growl. Yet, it was more his groan that he could hear in the end.
"I shall need to go on a hunt sooner or later this night, for I am sure Palesa will fend for herself, as always." Nodding, he suddenly added, "...you aren't...bothered when I speak of Palesa, are you Kami?" His eyes flickered to hers in worry, not wishing for the golden hued lioness to be in any discomfort. Without knowing it, he continued the game.

-She stiffled a soft laugh at the protests of his stomach as it answered his question for him.- "If that's what you want to do, then I'll let you be for the night. I've gotten better at hunting. But I still hamper the hunt on more occassions then I help it." -The admission brought a sheepish and yet somehow amused smile to her lips. Somewhere along the lines she'd given up on feeling bad about that particular flaw of hers.
Her ears flicked lightly as the new question touched the air, and she thought for only a brief moment, her smile never fading.- "No, it doesn't. I always thought you should have more friends anyway." -It had before when she'd thought that he'd choosen Palesa over her, but since that wasn't the case, it wasn't something to dwell on.-

Just looking to her for a moment, he soon turned his head away towards the lands to peer across them. Lions could be seen filtering around, but otherwise it was quite clear for a good hunt.
"I shall be seeing you later than Kami..." He murmered, not quite sure if he wanted to leave just yet. But he knew, he had to, "Take care of yourself, and I look forward to the next time we talk." Sending her a friendly smile, he turned and slowly started to pad away towards the base of the dens. With one more glanse back as he reached the bottom, he took off on a jog around to the north, in search for a keen hunting grounds so he could get his meal quickly.

-A contended smile touched her maw, and she nodded lightly as he gave his fairwell, very much hoping for his words to come true sooner rather then later.
Sure things were still going to be a little strained for awhile.. But the more time they spent together.. maybe that'd settled things, and let things return to normal, to let her think about the ever important question he'd settled upon her earlier that day.-
"Good bye Ta! Happy Hunting!" -Watching him go, she called out softly behind him, before turning and making her way home with a soft hop in her step, something that had been hiding for along time.-
