Captive's Struggle [PRIVATE: AC & SinChei]

[AustralianChaos]

Tanga could not understand any response the human may or may not be giving him, but Tanga was growing more and more certain that this was the same human that had most likely saved his life last night.

Throwing the larger part of his caution to the winds, Tanga took a couple of very hesitant steps forward, now within reach of Shane's hands if he reached through the bars of the gate. "Who...who are you?" he asked softly, forgetting for a moment that the human could not possibly understand him, and would only hear a series of soft, calm growls, as he came right in front of the gate, his silver muzzle inches from the gate as he watched the human with only the smallest amount of caution. He was pretty sure now that the human was not a threat to him, and with that sense of danger falling, his curiosity was rising to take its place.

[SinChei]

Shane was slowly moving one of his hands through the bars but stopped instantly not wanting to scare him off now. His hand was shaking slightely as the lion made some soft growls and looked at him.

I wish i could tell you that i just want to be your friend but you can't understand me. But i hope you understand that i am not your enemy.

Shane wanted Tanga to do one more step before he would try to touch his muzzle. Everything in the humans body were jumping for joy that the lion seemed to be not against the meeting.

[AustralianChaos]

Tanga paused as the human spoke to him. He listened, and even though he could not understand the human's words, he could, to a point, understand the tone of the human's voice. In the end, Tanga detected no hostility, only a curious, friendly nature that removed the last of Tanga's caution. Taing another step forward, Tanga leaned forward, sniffing the human's outstretched hand experimentally. Throwing all caution away at that point, Tanga actually took another step, and let his nose touch Shane's hand, before looking up at the human's face, his curiosity starting to build even higher. Now that he was certain this human was not a threat, he wanted to learn more about him.

Tyson's heart nearly stopped as the lion touched Shane's hand, his own hand going for his tranquiliser gun, fully expecting the lion to attempt to take Shane's hand off at any moment. But he stopped himself as the lion backed off a small amount again, looking up at Shane. Tyson just watched the scene, amazed. The lion actually appeared to accept Shane's presence, and seemed to be willing to get to know him better.

[SinChei]

Shane opened his mouth and were smiling all over his face. He slowly caressed the muzzle of tanga a few times and pulled his hand back in while moving his head back to his friend wanting him to open the inner gate aswell.

Ok open the inner Gate Tyse i know he won't hurt me

Shane said still amazed. His head were moving back to the feline and waited for the gate to open. Not only tanga wanted to learn more about the person in fron of him Shane wanted to learn more about the bigcat too.

[AustralianChaos]

Tyson, still in a bit of a daze, hesitated briefly, before calling on hi walkie-talkie, watching as the inner gate slowly slid open, the outer gate now shut, locking Shane in with the gold-furred lion. Tyson just hoped this did not end badly.

----------

Tanga was a little startled when Shane stroked his muzzle a few times, but did not back off. The humans's gentle touch was actually quite soothing to him. when the gate started opening, Tanga backed off slightly once more. Trusting the human when he was behind the gate was one thing...trusting him when he had full access to the enclosure, and the others, was quite another.

But in the end, his curiosity and trust of the human won over his mind, and he approached the human again, moving slowly, wondering how the human would act, now nothing seperated them but about a foot of thin air.

[SinChei]

Shane was more carefull now too. He still had big repect of the dangerous creature infront of him but trusted him as well. The humann slowly got up and looked down to Tanga. Slowly moving one hand towards the bigcat but wanting him again to make the last step. He thought it would be better for the lion to decide on his own. Shanes heart was beating heavily in fact that the lion could rip his whole arm off in less then a few seconds.

I don't want to hurt you... just want to kow you.

He spoke softly again while looking into the lions eyes with his calm gaze.

[AustralianChaos]

Tanga watched as the human approached, stretching out his hand, letting it hover a few inches from his head. Looking from the human's face the outstretched hand as the human spoke again, Tanga once more heard the soft, peaceful tone, and was certain that this human, getting to his paws, Tanga took a slow step forward, letting his forehead touch Shane's outstretched hand.

"I trust you..." he said softly, standing there, letting this human touch him, while he in turn looked the human over, curious about the creature.

[SinChei]

As shanes Hand touched the warm fur he heard the lion made some calm growls. But he didn't back off. He trusted him and expected the lion tried to say something in his way and in fact that he let him touch his head shane knew it was something positive. Shane slowly glided his hand into the lions mane and back to his head. Still caressing the lions head shane crouched down again to face the lion.

Maybe.. you want to learn something about me too i guess big one.

He said smiling and looking in his eyes again. He tried to let the lion know that he could observe the human if he wanted to.

[AustralianChaos]

Tanga actually found himself leaning into Shane's hand, a soft, light purr rumbing in his chest at the human's touch. He found the human's gentle hand somehow soothing. As Shane's hand moved away from his mane, Tanga looked back at the human, now crouching down in from. His curiosity growing even more, Tanga actrually took the oppourtunity to have a look at the human.

Moving away from Shane's touch, he paced slowly around the human, taking in his appearance, noting the lack of fur. These humans were curious creatures, a completely mystery to Tanga. As he paced around Shane, he occasionally gave his body a mild nudge with a paw or nose, touching the human and trying to figure out more about him.

----------

As Tanga paced slowly around Shane, Tyson got nervous. But after a few tense moments in which the lion actually touched Shane a few times, Tyson forced himself to relax a little. Shane did not seem afraid...and Tanga seemed nothing more than curious. He did not release his grip on the gun though...he was not going to let his friend get hurt because he got too careless...but he would let events play out.

[SinChei]

Shane could not resist to giggle quietly and followed the lion with his gaze. He was so happy he could feel his light purr when he was stroking the lions head. It was a feeling he couldn't describe. The soft touch of the lion was the best thing ever happened in his life. He just kept crouching for the lion that he could continue learning more about him.

----------

Daxis was slightely struggling between Kulindas forpaws because he could smell something strange. Again he could smell it but did not know what exactly it was. In the same time he dreamed of the humans again at that time the scent arrived his tiny nose. The red maned cub started struggling more and let out some low hisses but squeaked like a little cub does it everytime when it is scarred.
