Pride Life (A Lion RP~Accepting :D)

[Jadeghost]

Wind was taken aback slightly by her question, but not in a bad way. He was just surpried that Xyli had suggested it, his time, and not him. "Are you sure?" he asked her, his voice soft. "We will be leaving everything behind, everything that we have ever known...and it won't be easy. We will have to fight every step of the way..." his voice trailed off, and he met her strange gaze. For once, he was unable to tell what was on her mind. "I'll do it, yes," Wind continued in the same soft voice. "But I want to make sure it's what you want before we set out blindly."

Xyli sighed, lowaring her gaze again, pressing her side to Wind's. "Y-yes. It is." She whispered, the light of the moon dull on their pelts as night came to a heavy close, the dawn approaching too fast. "I wan't to be with you, Wind. And I want to be away from Otis, and the others. There really isn't anyone left for me there." She mewed, shaking her head, though she knew it was true. "Baka left, Tia hates me, Otis thinks Im just a pain, Jinx ignores me, and Marco even attacked me once!" She gave a growl of a laugh. "They aren't my family. Not anymore." Xyli glanced up at Wind, and gave him a swift lick on his cheek, filled with love. "Do you think we should plan it out though? We can stay here for a few more days, and map out where we can go, and where there is water...if you want." She suggested softly, the grass blowing gently against her white fur as a wind stirred.

Wind could not help himself; he let out a small purr of happiness. There was nothing he would like more than to get out of this place, and he said, "It's settled, then. I'm so glad we can get out of here and get a fresh start!" He licked her cheek back in response, his excitement almost too much for him to contain. "Yes, traveling along water would be a good idea. Where there's water, there's prey. We will just have to be careful of other prides that are out there," he remarked, his gaze already far away.

Xyli smiled, leaning against Wind happily. She sighed a soft purr, closing her eyes at the thought of real freedom, and being in charge of their own destiny. Maybe, even, some day, they would find a nice spot that had lots of prey, clear water, shade, and space, where they could settle and maybe find others like them, tired of their old prides. She smiled, letting her thoughts pool back to now. I can think of prides and families later. For now, all I know is that we're leaving. And that is enough. She though with a happy flick of her ear. Opening her golden eyes, she glanced next to them, at the river the flowed. She wondered silently if, if they followed it, they might come across somewhere worth while, or if it would just die out. It was a pretty thin stream, after all.

Naava padded up to Tanya. "What are you doing up so late?" She asked with a yawn. She had woken from a nightmare, and had seen the cub watcher and her cub awake. It was strange--she thought they would have been tired at this hour.

Tanya
Tanya shrugged. "I'm not really tired. Figured I would look around," she replied quietly. She looked behind her to see Liona pouncing at her tail playfully.

Naava nodded, laying down beside the queen, her yellow tail flicking gently back and forth as a slow breeze ruffled her golden fur. Naava smiled at Liona, her ear flicking in humor. "I understand, I don't feel much like sleeping, either," She meowed, sighing slightly. Turning to Tanya she cleared her throat, slightly embarrassed but wanting to ask, "Tanya," She started, "Do you think Otis hates me?" She asked, her voice small.

[greysilence]

Tanya
Tanya shook her head, not really knowing. She hadn't really seen any lions interacting with each other around here. "Why would you think such a thing?" she asked.

[Noneofyourbeeswax]

Naava sighed, flicking her ear. "It's my whole litter. Kobu thinks it too. We're old enough to be young pride members, by now, Tanya," She growled softly, her eyes narrowed. "But not only did we become apprentices late, but we are still apprentices. It feels like we shall be forever," She sighed, her claws unsheathing to dig into the soft dirt underneath her body.

[greysilence]

Tanya
Tanya sighed, thinking about Liona. "Liona's only a month younger then you two, and she's not even an apprentice. I think Otis just has a lot on his mind and he's busy," she explained.

[Noneofyourbeeswax]

Naava shrugged, eyes on the ground. "In that case, he needs to get us on his mind, too." She sighed, glancing at Liona sadly. "Why is it fair if we have to suffer for no reason?"
