[PRIVATE] Taming the Lioness's Heart

[oXButterflyKissesXo]

@Nakisisa: Neobi smiled and he watched the two play, closing his eyes for a nap. Granted, it was harder to sleep over the laughs and giggles.

"You bet'cha" she giggled, rolling him over onto his back and pinning him down. She had learned that trick from when Adeola was almost an adult, and Malaika was still a little cub. The younger gold lioness remembered so well how Adeola and her used to have so much fun when they were kids, and how they hung out all the time. Now, Adeola was serious and she had imprinted into her mind that if she was going to be future leader, play could never mix with responsibility.
--------------------------------

Adeola layed down on the rock near the water and looked over the sky, seeing it was getting darker. Her hazel orbs were focused on the red, orange, and yellow sky with the sky slowly falling to sleep to let the moon wake up. "Might as well go back now" she thought aloud. She got to her fours, and started walking back. She was full aware that Malaika and her new 'mate' must still be playing, but to avoid her father coming down any harder on her, she made her way back speedily and making sure she kept her temper simmering.

"Ohh you play that way do ya" he said, using his tale to pull on hers and flipping her so he was on top, "Whos been the rouge here?" he said laughing their tales still linked

@Nakisisa: Adeola walked onto the den grounds and saw her brother laying down by the den, and then her ears were caught by the sounds of the male still playing with Malaika like predicted. The lioness looked with a hard gaze, and mentally rolled her eyes knowing that her prediction was correct. Of course, she couldn't blame her sister for playing. She was still a cub, and she wasn't expected to be the leader soon.

How badly though, did she want to go over and play with them. But being an adult was serious work and she needed to stay focused on her 'mission' of being the best leader possible for her family when her parents decided she was ready.

Malaika laughed, "but my sister taught me better!" She replied, pushing her feet under his belly and launching him a little away so she could get to her feet. Adeola smirked at her sister who was imitating her moves she showed her when she was a child before she moved a little to avoid the male who was coming in her direction from the launch her sister gave.

"Silly Girl" naki said, still holding her tail, pulling her with him, not noticing Adeola behind him, he spoke "You have to be a rouge to learn these tricks" he said, landing and pulling more on her tail

@Nakisisa: "Or you just have to be Adeola" she replied with a laugh, wrapping her paws around his neck while twitching her tail in his.

Adeola walked past the two and headed over to her tree, where she climbed up to look over the entire land of their pride before she looked over to her lonely brother. But her eyes then travelled across to see a group of three lionesses walking through the Pridelands. And they didn't look like they were from the Pridelands in the least.

[Nakisisa]

"Wait a minute" he said, "let us see" he said "ADEOLA" he shouted, just noticing shed had gone past "COME HERE PLEASE" he said laughing, swiftly swiping Malaika's paws from under her, "Pride members don't play dirty" he said laughing at her

@Nakisisa: Adeola was about to advance to check them out before she looked back at the two playmates. "Uhh...", she looked back at the group but then jumped down. As she walked over, she looked at her giggling sister and then back at Naki, "yeah?"

[Nakisisa]

"Your sister says your a better fighter than me" he said giving a sly glance towards Mala ((( Shorter to write sorry ))) "Do you want to prove that?" he asked, silently unsheathing his claws

@Nakisisa: Adeola raised her eyebrow, and then looked over at Malaika. She gave her sister a hard glare and Malaika hid behind Naki in fear of what her sister would do to her. "I don't know what she was telling you while I was gone," her tail started to twitch, "but if she said I was a better fight," a smirk whiped across her face, "she would be correct".

This wasn't playing; this was just...practice. Yeah, that's what she would call it. Practicing...

The lioness prepared herself for his first move. If she was lucky, Tendai would come around and see his daughter showing what she had so he would leave her alone.

[Nakisisa]

"A being of Rouge, and Pride, two fighting styles" he said looking at her, raising an eyebrow, showing no movement for an attack, "Ladies first" he said, secretly bracing himself for the attack
