She woke slowly from a deep comfortable dream. She pondered quietly, as the sun played upon her creamy yellow features, if she would truely have to move from this spot. She was so comfortable. A scent filled her nose, an unusual scent, one she had never woken up to before, the scent of a male. She knew who it was and long before she opened her pale lilac eyes she buried her nose in to his thick orange mane.
Finally the waneing sun playing over her eyes coerced her in to looking upon the large male she was cuddled up with. It was strange to her to find herself in such clsoe quarters with a male. Even more unusual she felt was the fact that she had let Banda in to ehr life so swiftly. It seemed the fates had sent himto her and she didn't wwant to let him go.
Allowing a wide yawn to roll off her lips she likced his eyes and nose gently. "Wake up Banda, it's time to go." She coos her voice sweet and kind.

Wake up? Oh please, she really thought he was asleep? Banda had been laying still as stone, enjoying every moment of her sweet sent. One eye peeked open, revealing a hardening sun rising fast. Not only was the sun approaching, but a few deep black clouds dotted the sky, tons more wavering closer.
”Rain, maybe thunder. But I guess that can’t stop us.” Instinctively Banda stood up and protectively put a paw on the opposite side of Gurami’s head, careful not to disturb whatever sweet dream she was waking out of. He lowered himself back to the ground and tenderly prodded her shoulder with his muzzle. Dark clouds made Banda twitchy, and Gurami being in an area with dark clouds near by made him twitchier.

A smile stretched accross her tender maw as she watched him ehr pale lilac eyes shimmering. "Rain is a good thing Banda." She coos looking up at him shyly curling her body back in to his when he lay back beside her. She had never feared the rains, they braught plenty for a pride as large as the one she belonged to. Plus, she did so love water, she had grown up beside a babb;ling stream and she and her sisters had played togetehr in the cool rushing waters over seen by their father.
Standing slowly the custard yellow lioness stretched out all of her limbs, one at a time she shook out the aches of sleeping, everty lythe sleek mucle tencing and relacing.
Looking down to Banda she tugged his mane playfully and bounced a few steps away from him looking back coyly batting her long eye lashes at him. "Are you coming?" she purrs stepping forwards though not without manageing to catch a paw around a protruding root and tumbling herself tail over nose in to a soft yellow lump.

”It depends how you look at rain I guess…It brings life, but thunder brings too much death for it to balance out.” He mumbled, closing his eyes briefly as she curled up beside him. Of course he would have less cautious if it was just him, but he some one to protect now. He licked her ear gently and stood back up, shifting his haunches and ridding them of any kinks or soreness that remained from the nights sleep. Banda swung his head around and grinned, the patch of flowers where he had met Gurami could still faintly be seen off in the distance. It all gave him such a warm and soft feeling, he couldn’t help but smile, but as the thud sounded from behind him, Banda jumped and looked back and forth franticly. Banda slowly peered behind his back and timidly shrugged.
”Thought it was lightning…Are you ok?” He hurried over to nudge Gurami up, touching her nose with his tail as he took a step forward. He was never this jumpy, but something about this ‘different pride’ didn’t sit right in his stomach.

Gurami looks up at Banda in a sheepish manner her pale maw stretching in a foolish grin. "I'm fine.." She whispers untangling herself from the undergrowth she quickly gets to her foot paws trying to straighten herself out, she kept ehr eyes to the ground, feeling very silly, she had already shown herself up the day before and now she'd completely bungled herself over. Some warrior she was she couldn't even watch where she was going.
She looked at the concerned Banda with a smile in her lilac eyes nuzzling his cheek softly. "I didn't mean to frighten you..I'm afraid, I havn't been entirely honest with you Banda..I can be a bit of a clutz." She flushed embarressed that she had to say that to him her paws scraping the disturbed ground beneath her feet.
Looking up shyly she smiles at the big male, she had to be honmest with him, after all she was taking him back to her pride, she wanted him to stay with her. he had to know she was rather clumbsy.

Banda nodded with a smile, his tail curling in amusement.
"I've noticed, I think it's cute." He nuzzled her with beaming eyes, and brushed past her as Banda made his way forward. This pride had been such a mystery ever since they began this trek, it had all seemed rather pointless. But who was he to say such things? Some might say that taking long runs and talking to flowers were pointless too, and Banda would have to disagree with that. He glanced back with worried eyes, still fretting the lightening, but tried to start a more pleasant conversation.
"So, What are your sisters like?" Banda had little experience with small talk seeing as he had been alone with nature half his life, but seemed to manage just fine around Gurami, just her presence seemed to calm Banda.

Gurami was quite taken aback when he said her clumbsyness was cute, her cheeks flushed bright red infact which was hard to hide due to the pale colouration of her fur. "You really think so?" She whispers catching up to the big male and pressing her shoulder against his.
For a long moment she padded along beside him her tail swaying happily though her cheeks burned red as a rose. She had never felt so flattered by anyone.
"My sisters? Oh they are both older and higher ranked than me, they kind of over shadow me really but they both like to look after me too." She smiles sweetly her pale lips turning in a puurr. "Thats what happens when you're the youngest though I guess. You get looked after by everyone else."

Branda grinned cheerfully; his mane fluffed out with delight at the fact the comment had pleased her. He lived to please others, but the fact that Gurami was happy just made him soar. He nuzzled her with a large smile, the touch of her warm fur making him quiver with glee. He turned his head forward, not wanting to get too distracted and stumble like she had. His head cocked to the side thoughtfully as he rolled the idea of youngest be looked after around in his head. It tasted sour, like rotten prey.
”Not true!” He scoffed in a surprised voice, letting his jaw part a bit.
”The youngest may be looked after, but they get to have the beast share of the hunt.” Banda grinned; chuckling lightly to himself and finally letting a deep purr escape him. It wasn’t like Banda to be so social and forward. Since when was he Mr. Friendly? His old, more thoughtful and quiet ways seemed to be lagging ever since he had met Gurami.

Gurami giggled at his oputburst and licked his cheek quickly, her pale lilac eyes shimmering softly. She was so amused and pleased by Banda, she was starting to think that the fates were watching her far more closely than she may have liked, but they had braught banda to her, so there fore they were doing some good.
The grin creased her maw further as she sped up slightly and ran her downy furred length under his chin before she raced off in front of him her tail high in the air.
"I have one thing my sisters don't have at least, happiness." She smiles back at him her pale gaze shimmering softly. "And that my sweetest banda definately comes from being with you." her grin spreads all the wider then her tail flickeing in an almost seductive manner."I can't wait for you to mee them, they will be so jealous that i have found a cute male." She giggles againt hen a cute girly puurr of a giggle which rolled over her tongue in a tinkling manner.
She was so happy, she could burst, she was just so happy to have found Banda, he was just such a wonderful, charming companion and maybe one day soon he would be her mate. The thought made her all tingly, what a wonderful thought, her mate.

For one moment, one brilliant, lasting moment, Banda was a firekin. Beat red blushing from nose to tail, from far away one might have mistaken him for being on fire!
There was a long, suspenseful pause as he thought out what to say, she had practically dragged the words out of his mouth. He took a step towards her, still unsure what to say, a venerable, loving gaze in his eyes.
”Gurami…” He was cut short, still unprepared what to say. The bumbling, blushing male opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. If Banda was correct, weren’t females supposed to be the ones blushing and speechless? Yet, here he stood. His mouth parted as a stream of silent words came out, his pelt burning with blush.
”Gurami…” He moved closer to her, pushing his head into her fur and just breathing, letting her cooling scent melt over him. He finally lifted his head to lick her cheek and smiled warmly, thunder booming overhead. Yet, Banda didn’t even seem phased. A new, confidant gleam in his eye as he nuzzled her.
”And my siblings will be in awe at my beautiful mate.” Mate. It felt odd to say. Like a rock that had gotten mixed in with his prey, it didn’t belong there. Yet somehow he knew it was the will of the gods for him to use that word.

For a moment she could have swon her ears deceived her, had he said mate? he had said mate she was sure of it. Her soft yellow face turned and looked upon the large pale male, her soft lilac eyes shimmering in a dazzling way. Mate? What a beautiful word and she wasn't about to dissagree with him. her face lit up with a blush and she bounced towards him tackling him rather roughly.for a slender little lioness such an act could probably be taken as a small cannon ball.
"Oh Banda am I really your mate?" She grinned broadly nuzzling every inch of his face which she could find with her nose. "You'll be mine forever Banda?" She whispers licking his noce with her rough tongue.
"My sisters will be so pleased, I thought I would always be the last to get a mate." She puurrs that ever so pleased smile never fading from her lemony features.

Banda grinned, he heart practically leaping from his chest. It wasn’t every day you told the lioness of your dreams you wanted to be her mate, but Banda felt strange. Like the reaction of just that short sentence was setting in. Had…he really said that? Well of course he did. You have to be an oaf no to see that, but had he meant it? When he was a cub, he siblings had always been very social. His brother was all too popular with the girls and his sisters were ravished over by the boys. And Banda, had just been there. Nothing to live up to. No looks, no high rank, not even some gift to speak of. Unlike most other cubs, who dreamed of running through the savannah with a faithful mate at there side, a stream of cubs tumbling behind them, Banda had dreams about talking trees and waterfalls, huge open plains and small dancing flowers. Nothing ever was about love with Banda. Yet somehow, his whole life had shifted in the matter of days spent with Gurami. Hesitation pulled at his mane, but he remained composed. He knew he meant the word mate.
”Forever and ever!” Banda chuckled, nuzzling her.

Gurami smiles softly nuzzling every inch of that pale face before her. He was hers now, she was so happy. He'd promised forever and ever, that meant no matter what. She knew that the pride may infact find this a strange thing, after all males were often frowned upon, or at least not trusted like females. Males had no rank, but she was allowed to have a mate, a male whom would stay by her side and look after the cubs. She couldn't help but let that ever lasting smile widen. Cubs. She would bring their pride new babies one day. She and banda, together, forever.
She had no other thoughts running through her mind, though the fact that he still hadn't met her sisters, or that he knew nothing of her pride. Pursing ehr lips she clanbered off the big male nuzzling him one final time. "Should we get on then Banda? I have so much to tell you, so much about my pride and my family. I think, I think you will like it, i will keep you with my tribe and my sisters will adore you." She giggles then pouncing about in a hyper active happy way. "I can't wait for you to meet my sisters. They will be so jealous of you, My banda." she coos licking the tip of his nose before bounding off through the trees with a giggle. "Chase me Banda!" her voice echoes through the trees and for once she manages, NOT, to fall over anything, apparantly love had given her paws wings.

Banda stretched forward, licking her cheek before bounding after her, paws flailing about like he was some sort of clumsy cub playing tag with an especially fast hare. He briefly managed to catch up to her, shoving her playfully with his fluffy head. With one swing of his paw he tried to swoop in front of Gurami, blocking her way with his large colorful coat. After carefully nuzzling her, Banda stepped out of the way to follow at her side.
”So! This pride…you said that males are treated differently? It can’t be too different from other prides I assume.” He cocked his head to the side, his fur lightly brushing Gurami’s shining yellow pelt. He wouldn’t object to knew ideas and thinking, but she described the clan as being so different and strange, it made his paws quiver with excitement! For all he knew, it could be one of those nomadic groups that travel around, or some sort of ancient, mythical pride that had existed since the dawn of time! All he could put his bet on was that he and Gurami would be together in this pride. Be mates.

Gurami paused for a moment and looked at Banda, should she tell her mate of her pride? She feared he would run away if she did. She wasn't really sure why she was so worried. Banda was so wonderful. She swallowed hard and continued to walk her tail held high.
"After we rest Banda, I will go on ahead and speak with my queen." She whispers, she needed advice, what exactly would she tell Banda of their pride. "Females Rule our pride Banda, not males, we are a Female society, but I will tell you more..I..I need to speak with my rulers, make sure you can come." She smiled softly at the pale male, she wanted to keep him, oh so desperately, but she had to check first, check with the ladies of the pride.
