Stretching the white god ruffled his feathers. It was cooler tonight, quiet, though the soft hum of the night bugs that were still awake gave it a calming mood to the area. He liked it. So much chaos and stress in his heart, K'Anatak was glad to relax tonight.
K'Anatak walked throughout the taller grasses of the rogue territory, watching as some lightning bugs danced around trees that appeard strange in the dark, casting an even darker shadow then the night air already did.
He had met so many since his time here on this plain. It was nice, new friends, ones like Wahabu which he would enjoy to see grow into fine lions. Others like the goddess of rage sometimes plagued his thoughts on what he could've changed in his actions to have helped and not hurt. No matter, tonight was not a night of reflection, a time of relaxation, perhaps a new friend could be made in the crisp air.

The king-to-be was out on another one of his strolls. He often took six or seven in a day. It was a benefit of living in such a place as this area where nothing of dire consequence ever seemed to happen. He seemed to like it that way, and he hoped that things weren't going to change any time soon.
Moving along, he let his thoughts drift over various subjects. The first one he visited was the subject of his parents. He frowned when thinking about his mother giving birth to rogue cubs. It was horrible. She had gone out to see his brother Denahi and then she came back with a belly heavy with cubs. He regretted not being able to help her. Shaking his head, he forced himself to think of something else. Bad things always happened when his brother was involved.
You should have killed him while you had the chance.
Tamu stopped suddenly. The Voice. It was back. No, not now! He growled to himself, shaking his head violently for a moment. Then he stood there, waiting....
Nothing happened.
Perhaps the Voice was gone, and it had only been his imagination playing tricks on him. But then again, maybe it was the Voice playing tricks on him. Arg, he had never truly figured that darn thing out. All he knew was that it was pure evil.
Continuing on, the brown lion soon spotted something in the distance. It was of a great size, bigger than any creature he had ever seen perhaps. And it was white, pure white. Wondering who it might be, he flicked his tail curiously then moved himself forward again. Once he was close enough so that the other could hear him, though not so close as to invade any personal space, Tamu'jitu lowered his head slightly and spoke loud enough for the other to hear.
"Hello there!" he called, hoping it wasn't some agressive invader. Gosh, he'd hate to have to deal with one of those so late in the day.

K'Anatak was peering up at the sky, such a nice night, such a very nice night were his thoughts when he gazed up at the sky. He stretched out his wings and yawned. Now he was tired? Pity, no, he would not sleep just yet. He wished to be awake during this fine night a little longer. Would be nice to listen to the nothingness, the swaying of the grass blades the sound of a...voice?
The white god turned his black orbs to look at an oncoming form, brown, darker in this shade of light. How strange, to have one out on his own, seemed friendly, could be dangerous for one such as him so it seemed to K'Anatak.
"Evening friend," K'Anatak spoke out into teh silence. A smile upon his maw, perhaps this one could be a friend like little Wahabu? Yes, would be nice to have more friends to visit over time.
"What might one as you be doing out alone this night? It is a lovely night yes, but better spent with a another nad not alone though, don't you think?" K'Anatak would love to spend a night like this with one he cared for. Yet it seemed entirely impossible for him to find one that felt the same way back.
He always wondered if anyone ever would.

"Good evening," he replied respectfully back, dipping his head to the god. What a display! Such a magnificent and powerful-looking creature. He had never seen such a thing as this, a god, and he was having a hard time believing his eyes in that moment. Could he really be in the presence of a god? Was he that lucky?
Snapping out of his awe and admiration, he forced himself not to appear so rude as to let himself stare blindly. Sitting himself down, his fluffy mane falling easily over his shoulders, he focused his gaze on the god's face rather than his wings. Or maybe that wasn't right either... did all gods think they were better than everything and wanted everyone to act submissive around them? Ah, he did not know, and thus panicked a little.
Coward... his voice chided, sounding as if it had a smug snip to it. Tamu ignored it.
"I am taking a walk," he replied easily, keeping his nerves under surprising control. "Oh yes, I agree," he said, nodding his head slightly. His thoughts then wandered towards Masuka, the ghostly female whom he believed he loved so much. Her curves and the way that her soft blue eyes gazed at him... his heart fluttered just thinking about her, but he forced himself to stay steady. No need to go off on daydreams now, in front of a god.
"But I often take walks on my own. It allows me to relax and think to myself. Besides, is it not such a beautiful night as to not bask in its glory?"
He wanted to ask what the god was doing here, but he supposed that wasn't his business. A god could do whatever it wanted, right? Right.

K'Anatak watched the brown form as he spoke. Was he nervous? WHy? Oh yes, his wings. Hmm, perhaps he should look into hiding his wings sometimes. But then again, that would be deceving others, and then he would have to reflect on his physical lies later on. Perhaps it was just fine to stay how he was.
"Walks are nice, time to think? Yes, thinking is nice, reflection upon one's self during a night like this is divine, such calrity afterwards, it is what I do, am meant to do by my realm...I do apologize friend for my appearance if it has shaken you at all. I am merely a friend, a traveler out on a night's walk, my name is K'Anatak friend," he spoke soothingly and low. Yes, perhaps that introduction might be better.
"Such a wonderful night, though you think of someone else, another..." K'Anatak did not mean to pry, he couldn't help it, he was thinking of someone he cared for, perhaps K'ANatak could help his new friend. "Is she nice friend?"

The fluffy lion nodded his head slightly, agreeing with the god. It indeed was a wonderful night to go out walking and to reflect upon some things. Especially for him, the soon-to-be king of the Kusini lands. He wondered, would he take over when his father died or simply when his father decided to step down? He hoped it was the second one. He couldn't bear to have his father die so early...
"Yes, I often go out on walks and think to myself on nights like these. I find them perfect for such an occasion." His round ears perked slightly as he continued to listen to the god.
"Oh, you didn't startle me so much," he hesitated. Had he been scared, or had it simply just been the shock of seeing a god? "I think I was just surprised that I happened upon a god is all!" he confessed, chuckling nervously. He didn't know why, but he didn't feel himself worthy of a god's presence. But, if K'Anatak wished to stay, then he wouldn't force him to do otherwise.
"My name is Tamu'jitu, or simply Tamu for short. It's a pleasure to meet you." He bowed his head respectfully, though not in a way that seemed completely worshipping. He didn't want to seem like a suck-up.
As the white god seemed to almost read his mind, he blinked up at the other. Another? Oh, yes! Heh, he knew who was being spoken of.
"Ah, yes," he murmured, finding himself a bit embarassed that he should find himself so entangled in a female. He had never felt this way before. "Her name is Masuka. Oh, she's the most lovely of them all," he sighed dreamily, seeming almost like a little boy in his fantasies. But he didn't much notice. "I can't stop thinking about her..."

K'Anatak smiled and peered up at the stars, yet still knowing of Tamu's presence, "The pleasure must be mine Tamu, such luck to meet one as yourself on a night like this. A friend you truly are. Walks are nice, reflection upon one's self is nice to try and lead one in the right direction that would suit them..." he spoke, rambling on like he always did.
"A god I might be, but don't be nervous or wary of me, I am gentle compared to others. I try and help, not hurt," he said with a nod, then slowly set himself upon the grass, pulling his wings agains his back.
"Masuka, such a pretty name, you must be quite quite fond of her, you should spean nights like this with her. SUrely she might appreciate your presence on such a lovely night, don't you think?" he asked. Or perhaps it was different then how K'Anatak saw it in his mind. Perhaps Tamu was nervous of such an idea?

Tamu tilted his head slightly at the god as he said that the pleasure was his. He didn't very much it was quite like that (surely it was his pleasure, meeting a god!). But, if the god thought it was that way, then he wouldn't very well argue with it. Perhaps that's what came from not being conceited or arrogant at all.
As the god 'rambled', he listened and nodded his head, understanding exactly what was being said to him. Reflect was basically all he did in his spare time. He liked the chance to think to himself about his life and what might happen, who he might meet, when he might become king, and other such things like that. But he didn't always think of such important and life-impacting things. Oh, no. Sometimes he just let his mind drift to things like what he wanted to eat and such things. But whatever he was thinking about, it often let himself clear his mind in the end and take away any stress he might be feeling, which was the main objective of his thoughts.
Dipping his head, he blinked at the god. "I will keep that in mind, though I did not think originally that you were one to punish." Really he didn't.
As the subject was brought back to Masuka, the brown lion couldn't help but sigh happily. It was amazing how complete that female made him feel. "Oh, I wish I could. But I'm not sure how she feels about me," he admitted. "And I'm far too shy to ask her..." He shuffled his paws a bit, feeling ashamed for not even having the courage to claim his feelings for the lovely lioness.

K'Anatak chuckled and set his black hues on Tamu, "A bit nervous you are Tamu? Being shy can be a good and bad thing at times," K'Anatak breathed deep, thinking back to what Momo had said to him before, explaining what love was. He longed for it he did, though, things weren't looking up for him in the 'loving' department.
"Why not just try and see? What would be better? Always thinking about her, never knowing if she does or not? You could at least try, to know or not, then, perhaps then life might take a turn for the better for both of you, don't you think?"
K'Anatak was trying to help without prying too much into Tamu, he didn't like prying much, but he hoped he was helping his friend a bit. Would be nice to see his friends have a happy ending, would be very nice.

"Oh, I must admit that I am," he replied, lowering his head in a bit of shame. He didn't feel like this was how he was supposed to be. Weren't the males in a relationship supposed to be tough and confident, not wobbly and soft like this? Did Masuka prefer the stronger types? Oh no! What if she didn't like him like that because he was too fluffy and not manly enough for her tastes? Oh, that would simply be the worst...
But he shouldn't think of that, no. It wouldn't do him any good thinking of things like that. Masuka would like him. She certainly flirted, didn't she? And she didn't seem to object to spending time with him. Maybe she did like him..
"I want to see if she does like me the way I like her, but how should I ask her without seeming too forward or expecting? I mean, I don't want to pressure her into anything that she doesn't want to do." That was the last thing that he wanted to do to her. Making her do something she didn't want to do... oh he'd surely beat himself up if he ever did!
"You see.. I don't have much experience with any of this. I'm rather nervous."

K'Anatak smiled, young and in love, (well, younger then he was anyway). Tamu seemed to really care about this Masuka, K'Anatak was the same with one he had met in the past, but he never knew what might come from that. He hadn't seen her in the longest time now, he didn't know if she had found another. He would rather not barge into her life if she already had one with another besides himself.
"You must not feel like you are pressuring her if its merely a way in how you ask Tamu. Just be a gentleman, perhaps take her for a walk on a night like this. Just talk, beneath the stars and moon. See what happens," he said with a nod. Then he ruffled his feathers, trying to think of what else he could offer to Tamu for advice.
"Perhaps, make an association, say ho pretty she looks under the stars or something of that manner, if she does have feelings for you, she will be appreciate no doubt, You just must be yourself Tamu, don't try to over judge situations, reflect on who and what you are. If you are happy with yourself, perhaps she is happy with you as well."
Perhaps that could help his friend. Yes, perhaps that would help Tamu receive a happy ending.

Tamu sat, his gaze lowered to the ground, as he pondered over all of this. What the god said seemed to ring true in his head, but he wondered if he could really be so bold as to ask her how she felt about him. Perhaps it was his fear of getting rejected. It would be horrible for his first love to be a complete dud. He didn't think he could bear the feeling.
Lifting his eyes so that he was looking at K'Anatak, he nodded slightly. "I suppose you're right, friend. There's not much I can do but to... well, just give it a shot I guess." Yes, just take the risk. He figured it would be worse to go on living without knowing exactly what she thought about their relationship. He would ask. Yes, very soon he would talk with her about it.
He wouldn't fail. He would ask her, and everything would be good, yes. He repeated that all to himself, assuring him that nothing bad would come out of this.
"I'll keep all of this in mind. Thank you."

K'Anatak smiled, watching Tamu with black eyes. He wished that someday they would change color, be something different then cold, heartless, emotionless black. True, the black did have emotions hidden within their depths, but perhaps if others could see K'Anatak's emotions in his eyes, it would be for the better.
"Talking with you Tamu has given myself realizations as well, perhaps I might go to the one I care for, and see what happens then," he stretched a bit, then lay down again, he was tired this night, not feeling like flying to a better place to rest. This was fine, if anything try to harm him, let them try. He could heal, he would just rest for now.
"I do hope everything goes well, it should from what I've seen from you Tamu you are a lion of your word, strong and caring, she will be able to see that. Then perhaps love shall bloom, if it will is not my say, for the goddess of love might have more knowings in that..."

Tamu smiled at his friend, happy that he had met the fine fellow. K'Anatak gave good advice, and he felt as if he was ready to resolve his problem of not knowing whether or not Masuka felt the same way about him as he did about her. He would find out soon enough, and he knew that he would because the god had given him courage. Courage to believe in himself.
"I thank you, friend. If I had not met you, who knows how long my troubles would have continued?" he smiled again.
Seeing the god lay down, as if to rest for the night, the king-to-be dipped his head respectfully, ready to make his leave. "Well, I think I've spent too much time away from Masuka," he began, hoping the god didn't mind that this meeting was cut a bit short. "Take care, K'Anatak."
"Maybe we'll meet again, my friend?"
Turning about, he nodded his head respectfully once more then began walking back home. He had a lioness to find.

K'Anatak smiled and nodded, "Just be yourself Tamu, then you can't lose, reflect on who you really are...and show it to her," he spoke. The Tamu seemed to be ready to go find her, and K'Anatak smiled, good, he was more confident and determined then before. "Of course we will meet again my friend, until then, I do hope everything will go well, my best wished are upon you both."
He watched as Tamu began to head off, he laid his head down again and began to close his eyes after Tamu disappeared. Yes, Tamu would do just fine.
