[PRIVATE] A Loner's Pride

[XxRinaRoguexX]

Luckily for the new lioness, who wasn't coming off as very smart she could imagine, this was turning out to be too easy. With this new male in front of her, she could easily fool him into thinking she was just a foolish female who didn't know anything about ANYTHING. That is, if she could keep her brains and two-faced personality a secret. Acting with the flow, she let her expression sink into a sad one and she started to wave her lips like she was about to cry. "I'm so sorry...I guess I must seem pretty silly," she turned her head away, "I have been looking for my best friend Wafu for such a long time that I must be mistaking him for anyone at this point". Chanya looked up at him with her large, bright orange eyes slightly filling to the brim of breaking with 'genuine' tears. Oh, this female was quite the actress. "And you just seem so much like him...so noble, chivalrous...and handsome".

Suddenly, she heard her name being called and her head was directed upwards to spot a male whom she barely recognized now. Oh wait...is this him?, she asked herself, not once letting her expression start to fade. "W-Wafu?! Is that you?" She let a smile crack her lips open and she sped up to the bottom of the tree. It was true that when he was young he was teased and she was one of the ones who partook in the teasing...when everyone was watching. When they were alone together as cubs, she was nice and she eased him into a sense of stability and knowing that she would always be there for him. That didn't last of course as her family went on the move from the pride Wafu was part of and she never saw him again. But ever since that time, she claimed to have been on the search for him. "I have been looking for you ever since we were separated," she glanced down at the ground she stood on and backed away, "why don't you come down and we can talk like the adults we are now?"

Dakari listened to the female as she spoke, before growing nervous as she began giving him those sad eyes, especially when she mentioned the word handsome. He, like most males had this 'weakness' when it came to that type of feminine behaviour. "Uhh... Thank you, I guess. I hope you find him." It was then when Wafu spoke to her from the tree, and all Dakari could think about was what were the odds that the lion he had met a moment ago was the one htis female had been looking for for so long. He did not interfere as the two talked, and after a few moments turned back to the lioness he talked to before. "Ahh, ma'am... May I speak to your king? Or who ever is in charge here?"

(Great Design )

Wafu looked at Chanya for a while staring at her intently, her fur color, her looks and taking in her scent as he tried to search for the lost memories of the more specific parts of his cubhood trying to remember exactly who the female was. He knew her name, infact he remembered the names of all the cubs in the pride but he vaguely remembered who they where. Just then it clicked in his head, she was one of the few cubs that comforted him, one of the few that he called his friends and as he remembered this Wafu's smile returned.
"I can't believe it, I thought I'd never see you again" Wafu said climbing down from the tree once again with that leopord like agility that he was blessed with and stood right in-front of Chanya. "I, I missed you" he told her with a warm smile, Chanya was one of the few that could bring out this smile on Wafu's usually blank, expressionless face.

[[Thanks Tazzy :3]]

"I know, and here we are. Reunited all over again" she smiled up at him, in the back of her mind wanting to claw herself apart for being so girlish and charming. But she could have used it for the best at the worst times, and rewarded herself later when she got what she wanted later on. She looked to her side to see the male and a female standing there from before and shyed her sights away, "oh my. I'm so embarrassed. Please do not take this the wrong way, but may Wafu and I speak in private?" She questioned the two in her presence aside from Wafu giving the same male as she complimented the sparkling eyes and smile she worked so well for her. "I must talk with Wafu for a while alone" Chanya started to walk, only looking over her shoulder to see if Wafu was following behind her so they could get far enough away to talk without other ears having the chance to listen in.

Zera watched the two walk off together, assuming they could entertain one another for the time being as she got everything sorted out with herself. And just when she thought she was going to get off as easily as she would have liked to, her attention was caught by the male in front of her asking where the leader was. The only 'king' she could really think of at this point was Sius, but she didn't know what this male's intentions were with the 'leader' of the pride so she had to stretch her words a little more than she wanted to do. "I am. What can I do for you?" She was probably not coming off as very approachable since she was starting to become so cranky with the random events and dramatic dealings of this large group of males and females more than she was used to. Hopefully this guy won't be looking for a fight. I am so not in the mood to be dealing with any kind of physical battle right now, she thought. She was being even more hopeful that there was no suspicion that she was lying to him. Please, just someone come for some kind of backup here.

As Wafu followed he wondered why she wanted to talk with him privately. Maybe she just wanted to catch up and had a-lot to say, after all he wouldn't want to have the other two that were there have to stand there and listen to their stories so maybe she was thinking the same. 'Or maybe she's gonna confess her love to me' Wafu thought jokingly. 'Like that'll ever happen' he told himself shaking his head.
"So what is it you wanna talk about?" Wafu asked coming up along side Chanya with a smile. As he watched her he couldn't help realize how beautiful she looked, or was he just thinking that because she was a close friend when they were cubs. He'd always tell her she was pretty back then but at that age they were too young to know what that kind of love was.

[[Sorry lovelies for the numerous posts-- I just wanna get the little 'relationship' going with Wafu so we can move right into the plot :3 By the way, I have a message for you Vixey: I FREAKIN' LOVE YOU MY DEAR <3]]

This was too easy and luckily for Chanya, the angle she was at was where Wafu couldn't see where her face was that had a devilish smirk plastered across that she was having a hard time whipping off and the fiendish eyes of a vulture. She whirled around quickly and looked up at the old childhood friend of hers, "Wafu I have to confess my love for you!" She had teary eyes and wobbling lips as her eyes were filled to the brim and eventually started to overflow with 'emotion', as the more sappy lionesses would call it. "Ever since we were cubs Wafu...it's been only you" she shunned her eyes away from him, surprised at how well she could mask the evilness in her eyes with her acting. That probably had to be the one thing you had to have if you were going to be bad to the bone: tremendously good acting skills. And she had more than enough.

She did however look up at him for the final act to get him on her side (as if he needed any more convincing to be with her). Combined with her feelings, pretty words, thoughts in mind, and looks to get away with anything, she had to drive it home with the best manipulation she could think of-- and she knew just where to get him where it hurt. "But why are you associating yourself with these lions?" She looked back up at him and opened her mouth, "you're better than them-- just like you were better than the cubs back when we were little. But these lions, they were never going to let you in from the very start". Here was where she would come in with the best acting of her lifetime, "when I was listening to them before I ran into you, they spoke of how much of a loser you were. You'd never amount to anything, you're one who doesn't deserve a life...your parents left you for a reason" she hid the smirk on her face. "But Wafu, I am the only one who won't think anything like that of you. Never have, my love."

(Well I guess that's my 2nd out of the 2 posts I'm alloaws for now )

Wafu's eyes went wide when he heard that first sentence, utterly stunned that Chanya had actually said that. As she continued a smile foremed on Wafu's face yet again. Although Wafu himself was almost if not just as good as acting and thus able to tell when someone else was doing so right now he was blinded by Chanya's 'confession'. He had to admit he was hoping she would say that but as he was about to reply she spoke again but this time what she told him brought back that scowl of his replacing the joyful look he held just a few seconds ago. He took in all of what Chanya told him as if it where the truth, he bared his pointed teeth and dug his permanently extended claws into the moist dirt as a low growl escaped his throat.
"Call me a looser, I'll show them" he said and then smirked wickedly as he observed his claws.
"They say I don't deserve life, but when I'm done I'll be keeping it longer" he said all speaking to himself but loud enought for Chanya to hear. What she had told him and brought out the easily awakened darker side of Wafu's personality. He then turned to look at Chanya.
"You've always been there for me Chanya, and I have to admit over the time we've been separated I've grown to love you" he said to her and then looked in the direction of the cave.
"But it's a good thing you left, not too long after our pride got taken over by a new male who went and killed most of the other cubs, and I don't know what I'd do if I lost you"

It was hard for her to look as freaked out as she was with him staring right at her. Whoa, he loves me? Okay I thought he did as a cub but now he looks too serious, thought the lioness. But the act was going along so well as it was right now she couldn't give it up. Not when it was this good. Chanya's face didn't fall nor did it begin to curl into a devilish smile, but she stayed as neutral as she was when she was telling him all the lies she wanted to fuel the rage he had hidden away for those years of torture. She knew even when she was young that there would be something to mess him over when he was as old as they were now, and it was only at a breaking point that she could use for her benefit. And it's almost too easy to break his heart when I'm done with him.

Chanya curled her ears back and walked over to him, placing her paw lightly on his own. She noticed the claws of his were out and ready for anything and yet she couldn't seem to bring hers out ever. No matter how she tried; but it gave her a better image of the 'perfect little angel', which was to her liking more than she would openly admit. "I'd never think to leave you now that I have found you again, Wafu" her words were inserted even farther into his brain as she put her head under his chin. He was so soft...she felt herself sinking her head into his mane even more to get the best feel of the developed mane more than she had seen from him when they were younger. Chanya couldn't help but notice he had grown into her looks...something she never thought he would do. But of course, there was always room for the possibilities. "We should get revenge...revenge on them that we never had with the cubs we played with as children". She of course, was speaking about him and how he was constantly teased while she was always so popular. "I broke the hearts of the males from when we were younger, and I can do it again," she peered up at him, "all I need you to remember is that you're the only one I will think of when I am sweet talking with them" she whispered in case the ultimate point in the plot was getting around to ears other than their own.

"Starting with whoever you want me to" she thought he would say that one lioness that she saw in the beginning was his first target, but again, there was always room for possibilities.

Dakari didn't interferre as Wafu and Chanya left to talk on their own. He had no experience in this, but he quessedd that finding a long-lost cubhood friend was probably a very gladdering experience. He looked back at the orange furred lioness as she spoke to him again, telling him that she was the one in charge. Did that mean that the injured lion Wafu mentioned a few moments ago was the king? Did that also mean that she was the queen? He figured that he should know that if he ever was to stay with them, but he didn't want to make a bad first impression by asking questions that were obviously private. "I was kind of hoping I could stay here." he started politely, "I've been travelling and looking for a pride for almost a year now." The last time he told that one line to a pride leader before, it didn't really have an affect, but he guessed that bringing that up wasn't a bad idea.

Taro steeled himself when Sius and Kasi spoke, feeling braver than he had in a while.

"Hey...you know, I only just met you guys, but...I can tell that you're good lions. I'll be here for you, for whatever you need." He looked over at Eeve and nudged her, because she seemed to be lost in a daze.

"Yeah, I'll be here, too," she stammered, unable to meet Sius's gaze. She was frightened, but she didn't want him to see that. She would fight for him if she had to, fight for Taro... it was inevitable.
