The Pride Lands (Zeke, NM, kovu42, morri908)

[Zeke]

Startled, Zeke sprang up and away from the baboon, still somewhat frenzied by his previous predicament. Forgetting his injuries, Zeke turned sharply to face the potential foe, but stumbled and staggered back onto his paws. "Who are you?" he growled, fearing the baboon was only a distraction set up by his recent pursuers.

[Moka]

"Worry not my lion friend,
for your wounds Shairi did mend.
I will only be more kind
Please speak your name - don't be confined."

[Zeke]

Hessitant, but seeing no threat, Zeke muttered his name under his breath, then questions flooded his mind. "Why are you here? Why would you help me?" he asked agressively, as to not show weakness.

[Moka]

[ Yea I don't wanna speak in poetry anymore LOL ]

"One need not be rich or famous to lend a helping hand, good friend, Zeke." Shairi said and nodded politely. "Now what happened to you?"

[Zeke]

"Nothing. I don't want to talk about it," Zeke said, turning away as to try to avoid his bad reputation.

[Moka]

"Any story not worth telling is not worth hearing." Shairi said optimistically. "Well I'm sure you're a busy lion, I'll let you carry on."

[Zeke]

"I don't have anywhere to go," Zeke murmered sadly, watching Shairi carefully out of the corner of his eye and hoping for a response.

(I'm going to bed. C ya)

[Moka]

"Oh, is that so? Well I've got things to do, would you like to accompany me, my friend?"

[ Me too, goodnight ]

[Zeke]

"I guess, I have nothing better to do." Zeke, suspicious in nature, turned and watched the baboon carefully, following a few yards behind.

[Panda-chan]
