[PRIVATE] Taming the Lioness's Heart

[Nakisisa]

"Mala... What were you doing all the way out here?" Naki asked slightly concerned. Seeing as Malas back was turned he looked at Adeola and mouthed, "How long do I have?" hoping she knew what he ment. Feeling a large stab of pain from the wound, naki buckled falling to the ground.

@Nakisisa: Adeola raised her eyebrow at him and mouthed back with a warning look, "not enough if you want to sleep in a den tonight".

"I was looking for you! I was worried that you had left without coming to say good-bye". Adeola looked down at her little sister, and was shocked that she wasn't even paying attention to her sister; flesh and blood. As soon as they started walking and heard the fall of the male, both sisters looked over to him. Before Adeola could go to her mate, Malaika was over to him and helping him up.

"Are you alright, my love?" She asked him, getting him to his feet.

"Are you okay, Naki?" Adeola asked after her.

Ekwu finally composed himself and went towards Marjani. "Marjani would you...would you want to be with me the rest of your life?" He looked at her and tried to smile, nervously, of course. "Uh I told Lesedi that I hoped that she would have all the happiness she needed in her life. But the happiness I need in my life is you." He looked at her not knowing what she would say.

===

Marjani was shocked at his own words but was happy either way. She knew of Ekwu's importance to this group but she wouldn't care if he had no standing in the pride and would love him anyway. She looked at him and covered his mouth and smiled. "Yes." They went off together noticing the spectacle Lesedi had at the moment.

"Im fine" Naki grunted getting up, "Just a bad experience with some poachers." he said laughing off the pain, He very affectionatly nuzzled Mala, but because Adeola had asked, he gave her a shorter nuzzle, giving her a discrete lick and whispered into uber ear, "What do you mean?"

@Nakisisa: Adeola rolled her eyes and walked on past the two.

Malaika looked over to see her sister walk away, and then looked back at Naki. "I didn't know where you were. I thought you had left me behind and ran off with my sister". She then looked back at the direction of where Adeola ran off to, "she must have been moody while you were with her, huh?"
-----

Adeola walked on, her eyes hard on the ground and her tail flicking back and forth angrily. For a lion who claimed to love her and not her sister, he sure acted like he loved her more than Adeola. It got her going and had images of what had happened before rushing through her mind with Kovu and Kiara. She stopped and looked at the ground, letting her claws slap across it and leaving her marks as she walked. Lions and lionesses looked at her walk by as she was looking like she was about ready to kill someone so they stayed clear of her.
===========================
@VitanisMate: "Now, go away" she told Kalaiba, drinking her own fill of water. As she looked down at the water, the ripples she made with her tongue clashed with the ripples of the other male, making them both look up. Lesedi gave a small smile and laugh, while the male laughed lightly and went back to drinking. Her blue eyes were on the male and she lapped up water while waiting for his eyes to look up at hers. Sure enough they did and he blinked over, trying to see if she was going to say anything or not.

"Hi" he said, finally breaking the silence.

"Hi" she replied, a smile on her face and she licked the water away from her muzzle.

"She wasn't that moody, I think she learned a lot, and" Naki said his mind filled with happy thoughts of him and Adeola. "She even saved my life." naki said recalling the details of what happened, cringing at the thought of how they spoke to each other, and how soon after, they were Mates. Break your promise? or break your mate? the voice in his head said. Naki knew his decission would be soon.

@Nakisisa: Malaika looked from him to Adeola, "interesting...".
-----

Adeola entered the den site and saw the others look at her. "Where have you been?" Afolabi asked in a you're-going-to-get-it tone of voice. The lioness rolled her eyes and walked past him. Neobi got to his feet and looked down at his big sister.

"Are you alright?" He asked her.

"Yeah of course" she replied, nuzzling him lightly. "Where's dad?"

"ADEOLA"

"Oh, right there" she said, not taken back a bit by the sudden outburst and she looked to see her father come out of the den and over to her and her brother.

[Nakisisa]

"What is?" Naki asked Mala, his mind still set on questioning the rouges decisions

[oXButterflyKissesXo]

@Nakisisa: "Nothing, it's fine" she said, walking on with him, keeping a sharp eye on the sister ahead of her.
-----

"Where have you been?!"

"Places" she replied to him.

"...with who?!"

"Naki" she replied once more.

"...why?!"

"Because I'm tired of doing this back and forth everyday".

"If you listened to me, we wouldn't have to".

"Back at'cha" she replied, giving him an eyebrow raise.

[Nakisisa]

"Mala don't play me for a fool, there's something wrong, and I know it. What is it?" Naki asked slightly more forcifully.
