[Private] Songo and Sirom - A Sweet Dream

[CheetahCat]

Sirom's brows raised just a little, taking in on what the lioness was saying. He can easily till that she wasn't fond of him just yet and maybe it'll take some time to adjust to their friendship. He was well aware of her attitude now and the fact she had taken care of herself for this long. A low sigh escaped his ebony muzzle lips as a he glanced over to Songo who was already making her way in the direction of some rock formation. He knew it wasn't polite to stare at a lioness but he couldn't really help himself from exhaustively checking her physical features. With small droplets of rain coming down onto his furry brown mane and pelt, it immediately flatten down the fur around his neck region and lower back, making it quite difficult to move from excess amounts of rain sinking into his fur.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, Sirom ventured off close behind of Songo, eventually coming up beside her now so that they both were padding from side to side.

"You seem hostile yet Songo. Regardless of your actions, I'm still going to consider you my friend." Sirom's voice trailed out a little stern. He was a bit irritated by the rain that kept colliding with his pelt and furry brown frame. As both lions trekked closer to the rock formations, Sirom's eyes narrowed a little.

"There's a small rock formation over there, let's go over there quickly." He said softly and began to pick up speed as he gave Songo another brief glance.

"By the way, sorry for my rudeness about staring. You seem quite different from other lionesses, due to your unique physical features." Sirom's voice came out more softer as he pasted a small smirk.

Songo’s blue eyes glanced up at Sirom and she smirked, ”Your friend. My dear Sirom you don’t even know who I am. I could be your worst nightamre..” She said softly. She smiled at his word choice —hostile-, she didn’t think of herself as hostile possibly cautious. She watched him pick out the rock formation and she laughed, he was a little late.

The rain fell upon her tan pelt and she shivered slightly, it felt good to be out of the heat. But the chilly wind blew against them and her blue eyes watched Sirom run ahead. She chuckled at his drenched mane and he had a funny look,”My unique features. Well Sirom I wasn’t born over here. I have been traveling for most of my life…”she replied her voice trailing off.

She followed close behind him her gait catching up with his, her paws smashed the damp grass as the water kicked up around her. She slowed down as she slowly stepped into the cave, her blue eyes checking the inside quickly. She reclined back slowly and watched the rain pour down harder, she shivered slightly. ”So how long have you been around here..?” she asked him.

[CheetahCat]

Sirom paced on ahead, glancing over to Songo who was speaking up in response to the things he said. His fluffy brown ears twitched numerous of times as he glanced over to her when she mentioned about being his worse nightmare. Blinking a couple of times to this, he wasn't sure what she meant by that.

"My worst nightmare? I'm surely you're joking there Songo." Sirom's voice trailed off as they were venturing close to their destination. The rain was gradually picking up and becoming much more heavier now. By this time, his gullet, mane and pelt were completely soaked, making him look a bit more feminine and not so like a lion. Embarrassed by this, Sirom rushed into the small cave, staying close behind of Songo who slipped in first. Having a small pant, Sirom glanced over to Songo and monitored her actions before replying.

"I've been around these parts for a few months I guess. I haven't met anyone else around here and most of the time, I find myself lingering around here. I established myself here due to the big supply of food and large quantities of water being around these parts." He calmly said, shifting his position a little before shaking out his silky mane to get any overabundance of water that persisted. Lowering himself down on his haunches, Sirom glanced over to Songo and couldn't help to eye her up and down again, noticing her slender frame and contracting muscles. He gave his warm ebony muzzle lips a lick while he purred.

"Well Songo, looks like we're going to be in here for awhile and... I just wanted to say that if you're too cold, you can come sit by me and maybe I can help warm you up. I don't mean any harm you know, if I wanted to do something to you, I would've done it now." He tried to reassure her, slowly shifting positions that he was laying comfortably on his belly.

[Songo]

Songo found herself laughing out loud at Sirom’s wet mangy look; a smiled crossed her muzzle as he shook himself from the rain. “I’m serious..I tend to get myself into trouble at times, it follows me.” She added as her ears flattened back to her cranium. Water dripped from her thick pelt and she shivered as a breeze passed through the cave, her blue eyes looking down at Sirom.


“When the rain stops I wouldn’t mind exploring the land a little bit.” she said out loud as she stepped towards the entrance of the cave, her eyes glancing at the falling rain. She glanced back to Sirom as he laid down and she smirked, “You don’t scare me Sirom.” She added as she stepped back beside him. She stretched her ebony tipped paws forward and slid onto her belly, her forepaw brushing at her fur lightly. She crawled up beside himand let her wet side press against his, she shivered once more. Her ears perked forward as she rested her muzzle on top of her paws, ”Why are you alone..?” she said softly.

[CheetahCat]

The rain continued on to pour heavily as small distant sounds can be heard within the cave, indicating that it wasn't going to stop anytime soon. Sensing that they were going to be here for awhile, Sirom blinked as he watched Songo come over and lay beside him, having their wet furry bodies touching against one another. A low impulsive purr slipped out from his muzzle as he inched himself closer to try and get themselves nice and toasty warm. Hearing upon her question now, Sirom glanced down and let out a low sigh.

"Yeah, I've been alone for a long time but I've grown use to it now Songo. I don't really mind being alone though but I always enjoy the company of others." He replied calmly and moved both of his warm fore paws close together once more.

"So, during your many travels Songo, did you come by anything interesting that you'll like to share?" Sirom asked with a smirk, leaning in to give Songo a warm nuzzle across her wet pelt to try and make her feel better. Even though this was a dangerous move, he wanted to at least show his affectionate side to show that he was true to his words.

[Songo]

Her eyes closed as she listened to him speak, “I’ve been alone for a while too. Well my mother was killed when I was younger. I don’t mind being alone at times though it’s easier to eat and protect myself.” she said opening a glossy blue eye to look at him. With his massive body next to hers she felt small, but she enjoyed the warmth he gave off. Her long tail curled by her side and she yawned slightly.

”Well..I..” her words got cut short. Her ears flattened back to her cranium as he nuzzled her side and she growled slightly. She lifted her forepaw and her claws sprung out in defense, her blue eyes narrowed at him. “P-P-please don’t do that..” she whispered catching herself, she retracted her claws. Songo settled herself back down with Sirom and she sighed heavily, ”Look I’m sorry. I just don’t get very close with others.” She added. ” I’ve been to a lot of different prides, seen fighting and war and I’ve never came across such a peaceful one.”

[CheetahCat]

Hearing her shaky sounding tone, Sirom deceased his actions and remained perfectly still from those unsheathed, keen like claws that were presented in front of him. He knew something like this was going to happen but deep down, he knew that she actually enjoyed this affectionate gesture and he hoped she'll open up much more when they spend more time together. Not wanting to agitate her further, he kept his much larger frame against Songo to ensure her abstemious structure will get warmer. Keeping a steady purr going, Sirom nodded and spoke up.

"Sorry if I startled you with that... Nuzzle Songo. You seemed so tensed and well, I honestly think you should calm down a little. There's nothing to be afraid of or worry about. I'm a harmless lion and I don't attack others unless they are physically coming on to me." He said warmly and glanced over to admire Songo's attractive anatomy again, feeling sorry for what has happened to her mother.

"I'm very sorry to hear about your mother's end. If you feel comfortable of asking, do you know who caused it?" Sirom's voice came out softer while he showcased a frown, knowing that this wasn't an easy question to answer.

[Songo]

Her ears perked forward as she felt the vibrations through his body as he purred, her crystal blue eyes gazed at him momentarily. She nodded as he spoke, ”I tend to keep my guard up, it keeps me from getting hurt.” She muttered under her breath. Her forepaws lay on top of the other and she rested her muzzle down upon them. She closed her eyes for a moment as he asked about her mother and exhaled deeply.

Songo thought in her head for a moment before speaking, ”My mother was a respected Lioness in our old pride and she was praised on her keen hunting skills. My mother was killed when she trespassed upon another’s land; she was hunting for me…” she said in a cold tone. ” Lion’s have never been kind to me from then on; I grew up and learned the ways of a rogue. Going where I please and doing what I want. Rules never stopped me…” she added.

[CheetahCat]

Sirom remained still and listened closely to what Songo was saying about her mother's unforgettable event. A small frown soon formed around his ebony muzzle lips as he glanced up at the ceiling briefly to take in all that she had said. It was terrible to know that this lioness had to endure so much by herself and the fact being alone and meeting more Prides of lions that don't appreciate others definitely would make living a big hassle. He narrowed his eyes a tiny bit and began to hear the rain ceasing little by little. The Great Circle of Life was already making its presence known with its bright warm rays hitting down against the moist grass.

"Your mother sounds terrific Songo, I'm sure she's still watching over you to this day and you two will reunite in the future." Sirom replied and gave a quick glance over to Songo with a smile.

"It seems that the rain is beginning to stop. How are you feeling right now? Would you like to rest here a little?" He asked and let out an exhausted yawn before shifting his position a bit so that he was laying more comfortably on his furry brown side. The profusion of rain on his pelt had completely dried up now, making him the big and muscular looking lion just as before.

[Songo]

Songo’s blue eyes flickered as she gazed at the sun showing from behind the clouds, she looked up at Sirom. ”I don’t mind staying here for a bit longer..” she said softly. “My mother lives on through me, me and her are one. “


Songo lifted her muzzle up towards Sirom’s neck and she gently nuzzled his mane, a soft purr coming from her. ”Thank you.” she whispered to him. Lifting her body she stretched her ebony tipped paws forward across the cave’s floor, her tail flickering behind her. She slowly stepped out of the cave her sleek body swaying to and fro as she stepped. She glanced back at Sirom with glossy blur eyes, “Aren’t you coming..?” she asked smiling.
