[PRIVATE] Taming the Lioness's Heart

[oXButterflyKissesXo]

@VitanisMate: Lesedi walked with Ekwu before he stopped and she answered his question, "aren't I just the luckiest" she sarcastically replied. She sat down and looked at Ekwu, "yeah, I know. Not like I reciprocate with him though".
=============================
@Nakisisa: Adeola nodded and kept going. They entered the Outlands and sped through quickly before she heard a roar come from a female. "Malaika?" She said to herself, almost bumping into Naki as she changed direction and followed the sound. Sure enough she saw a female and Malaika...but the female was on the ground. Dead. And there was Malaika, looking furious and about ready to kill anything else.

Her eyes looked over to Naki and Adeola as her face brightened up, "Naki!" She squealed, running over to him and putting her head under his chin with a smile. Adeola moved a little away from being hit by her younger sister and glared down at the scene.

Ekwu looked at her and said, "So you have no feelings for him? Let me tell you a story that was told to me. Do you know of my mother and father? My mother was not real keen of my father at first either but that soon changed where she changed him."

[Nakisisa]

Naki gave Adeola a small, for one day only, look. "I told you I'd be back" Nak said to Mala.

@VitanisMate: Lesedi sighed out, and turned her head. "It's Marjani isn't it?" She smiled.
=============================
@Nakisisa: "I knew you would, my love. I knew you would".

Adeola let out a cough to let it known she was here to where Malaika turned her head and smiled, "it's good to see you again sister" she smiled, but keeping close to Naki still rubbing her fur on him.

Adeola gave a fake smile, "let's get you back home" and she started walking out of the Outlands and into the Pridelands where she was sure she was going to have an earful from her father.

Ekwu looked at her and sighed, "Lesedi I...I...I am..." he sighed again, "Lesedi it is just I want you to be happy. I want you to not be sad or alone or afraid."

@VitanisMate: Stopping his babbling, she gave him a lick on the cheek and smiled. "Ekwu, I don't need a mate to be happy. But I'm glad you're doing what makes you happy too". Lesedi sighed out, "now go on. Go tell 'er" she ordered lightly to her friend. Just a friend.

[VitanisMate]

Ekwu felt bad about it all and sighed. He went toward Marjani and said, "Uh Marjani?" Marjani looked around at him and said, "Yes Ekwu?" Ekwu sighed and said, "Uh I was wondering uh well uh would you want...uh nevermind." He walked away knowing he was not ready yet.

@VitanisMate: Lesedi watched Ekwu walk off from her and over to Marjani. Although he was trying, he was defeated by his own self and walked away from her. The lioness raised her eyebrow and sighed out. He must have been nervous and felt like he couldn't say what he wanted to say. She felt bad for him and really wanted to go up to Marjani and tell her what he wanted to, but she knew better than to mess with others and their business. He'll do it when he feel she needs to, she thought.

Lesedi walked away from the den and back over to the waterhole. A time to get away from all the commotion and antics of the lions and cubs and just relax.

[VitanisMate]

Kalaiba came over to Lesedi himself and said to her, "Why did that do...I mean guy try to help me after all I did to him?" He looked at her obviously in a kind of confused rage. "WHY?!" He looked at her again knowing she cared nothing for him but he sighed thinking oh well. There were plenty of other lionesses to flirt with around here though he liked the hard to get ones.

===

Marjani was confused by Ekwu walking to her and just walking off. She wondered what he was about to say. She looked toward Lesedi and decided to talk to her about it once she was alone.

@VitanisMate: Lesedi got to her paws and slapped him across the face. "You want to talk to me, you talk to me in a normal tone of voice" she ordered him. She wasn't afraid of him, nor was she fond of him in the least. "And I don't know why. But you sure don't deserve a life" she told him with anger dripping from her tone as the words flew through the air with the wind that passed through her fur.

Lesedi hadn't been paying attention to the sound of things around her as a male emerged from the grasses and walked over to the water to take a drink. He was a well-built, tall male. A medium shade of brown for his fur, an off-white muzzle, chest, stomach, nose, and toes, and a darker shade of brown for his mane. His eyes, celery green and he payed no heed to the lions in front of him.
