[TheGunner18]

Vah watched Kiara turn around to face him shortly after he asked her whether or not she was a rogue. In all honesty, Vah doubted that was true, as rogues tend to be more cautious and even hostile to other lions. Well, that was Vah's view anyway. Not that he knew anything about that sort of thing, but he still stood by the fact he didn't think Kiara was a rogue. What Vah heard from her next, though, certainly surprised him, to say the least.

Vah was expecting a resounding 'No.' as a response to his question. Instead Kiara told him that she didn't even know. At first, Vah thought that she was just joking around, but her confused expression made him think otherwise. How could she 'not know' whether she was a rogue or not? When Vah thought back, however, he remembered how he first found her, lying helpless on the ground at the bottom of a relatively steep hill.

Was it possible that Kiara lost part of her memory just as she passed out? Vah simply shook his head in disbelief and dismissed his own claim. It wasn't possible, surely. Suddenly, he felt a pang of worry hit him. "Kiara? Are you okay?" Vah asked, worried about any injuries she may be suffering, both physical and mental. Vah stood up and slowly began approaching her, but he hoped she wouldn't get scared, as he was genuinely quite worried for her, even if she was a stranger. Vah still felt it was his responsibility to help Kiara out as much as possible.

Kiara again felt her heart begin to race as Vah suddenly began walking closer. He was still a stranger to her, but this time she continued to stand right where she was. "I..." she tried to think of how exactly to state it. She looked at him and said, "No. I can't remember anything..." she doubted he'll believe her, but it was the truth. She again tried to come up with any memories from her past, but again to no avail.

Vah looked at Kiara in bemusement. Really, he should never believe such a story, bur from Kiara, it carried something else....truth and honesty? Vah stopped walking a couple of metres away from her. She didn't for one moment seem like somebody who would lie. Maybe his theory of her losing her memory just as she passed out was actually correct. The thing is, it seemed completely ludacris. Again, Vah stepped closer. "Kiara, I worry for you. It's my responsibility to keep you safe." Vah stated, looking the young lionwas in the eye. Vah just wanted Kiara to feel home here. Now that she couldn't remember anything complicated things. Where would she go after she had fully recovered?

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara again felt a little wierd as Vah looked her in the eyes. Also the way he said what he said... did he know her. "Really?" she figured that if she had ever seen him before, that he should at least find him somehow familliar. However she didn't. "I..." she found the moment, combined with her feelings, rather akward. "Thank you... I guess." for some reason she found herself smiling at him. She suddenly felt like she could trust Vah with her life. She really didn't know why, but she just felt like it.

[TheGunner18]

Vah smiled embaressedly and looked away from Kiara, down to the ground. He was understandably nervous about speaking with Kiara, but obviously not as much as she must've been around him. Slowly, Vah turned back to Kiara. "It's just...i've never come into contact with another of our kind since becoming a rogue. So this is, well, kind of strange for me..." Vah laughed nervously, not even knowing if he was doing the right thing. "If you need anything else, just ask. Vah told her, surprised that he hadn't just broken down right in front of Kiara.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara's smile remained. "Well... I really can't remember if I ever met another lion before... But you're nice and..." she stopped before blurting out anything stupid, "Yeah... nice..." she went ahead and walked over to his side. "Well... it looks like I'll be staying here for a while..." or longer than that, "Could you perhaps show me around? I mean... it's okay if I stay right?" she doubted he'll have any problem with her staying, and she felt like she could get used to living with a nice lion like him.

[TheGunner18]

Vah was surprised and also quite interested as to why Kiara couldn't remember meeting anyone else, but that interest was then replaced by blankness in his mind as he noticed Kiara's hesitaton when talking to him. He didn't know what to say in response, or why she did hesitate. Luckily, he didn't need to reply to that particular statement, as Kiara walked next to him and asked to be shown around.

Vah felt his heartbeat begin to quickly and almost immediately rise as soo as Kiara stood next to him. Vah had never been this close to someone else before. Well, apart from his mother, but he could hardly remember those days. Vah found himself just standing there, not responding to Kiara's question. It was only a few seconds later that Vah turned his attention back to the question and noticed Kiara still standing there. "Er...I...yeah..." Vah started stumbling on his words and felt himself blushing. "You can stay as long as you want...um...and, I can show you around, sure." Vah still stood where he was originally, fixed in place.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara, who was still somewhat confused by her memory loss that she didn't even notice how nervous Vah was and that he was blushing like any other lion or lioness would. "Well come on." she said, sounding as excited as a newborn cub. "I bet this place is really great." she said as she began walking. As she reached the exit she looked around to see that Vah was still standing where he stood a moment ago, causing her to giggle. "Well come on!" she said with her usual cheeky smile before going ahead and walking outside.

[TheGunner18]

Vah continued to stare into space for a few seconds before being snapped out of his 'trance' by Kiara shouting for him to follow her out. He glanced up at Kiara who was making her way out of the large cave Vah called home. For a brief second, Vah completely forgot why Kiara wanted him to follow her, but it almost immediately came back to him and he began walking outside, noticing Kiara. Vah stopped just after exiting the cave and his gaze fell on the lioness. "Unless you want to get lost, I suggest staying near me. I might not bother coming to find you." Vah told her, not in a serious way, but in a joking manner. This was reinforced by the humoured smile that was visible on Vah's face. "But we both know i'd never leave you anywhere." He said, this time in a much more caring way, even though Vah didn't notice.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara meanwhile waited outside and took a deep breath of fresh air. She sighed with a smile, before noticing that Vah finally came out. She was for a moment nervous when he said what he said, but she soon caught onto the fact that he was just joking with her. She couldn't help but smile as he spoke up again, noticing the caring way he said it. "Oh, really?" she asked with a smile, finding it absolutely adorable. "How sweet of you!" she said, heading over to his side once more. "Well, what are we waiting for?" she asked, again sounding excited, "Let's go!"
