TheWhistlerify & Thegunner18

[TheGunner18]

Vah swam towards the shore and pulled himself out of the waterhole. He was glad that Kiara seemed to be recovering from whatever had happened to her yesterday. What it was that happened, he guessed he would never know, as Kiara had told him that she couldn't remember anything. Vah gave Kiara a concerned look and then shook himself dry. Vah was sure that not being able to remember what your cubhood or early adult life was like would be strange and honestly, not a very pleasant feeling. Vah didn't want to think about that anymore, though.

Vah walked over to Kiara and stood next to her. He wasn't sure where he should take her next. To him, the place he lived was just, well, a place to live. There wasn't anything special about it. If it made Kiara happy, however, he was fine with it. Vah liked being near , though. It gave him a strange fuzzy feeling inside. "I don't know where, but I'll just take you wherever. You seem to like adventures."

Kiara began her heart begin to race the closer Vah walked. She really didn't have that strange feeling when being around him before, it just began showing up after what happened in the waterhole. This time she managed to hold herself from blushing however, but just barely. "Yeah, I'd love to go exploring with you." she became nervous after realising that she had said it in a rather flirtatious way. "I mean... sure, why not..." she then forced her mouth shut and smiled nervously at Vah.

[TheGunner18]

Vah laughed nevously after hearing Kiara speak and he glanced away from her again, not in any negative thoughts, but he just didn't know what to say in reply to Kiara. It was strange, really. Even though Vah was at points quite relaxed and happy to be around the lioness, he was also quite nervous. Not nervous as in afraid, but it was a much weirder feeling. One that Vah didn't really mind having when near Kiara. It was a new feeling to Vah, but one that he only seemed to notice when around her.

Vah shrugged these thoughts away, but the strange feeling remained as he looked back at Kiara and started walking. "Thanks, I guess..." Vah said in response to the compliment, picking up on the flirtatious tone. He flashed her a quick, friendly smile. Before turning to look where he was walking. Or...was it more than just friendly? Vah didn't know. He wasn't the one to know these things."Anyway, follow me."

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara was relieved when the tone she accidenly used didn't cause anything embarrassing to happen. The young lioness again felt her heard racing when Vah flashed her a smile, but she quickly shook her head nd slowly followed. As she walked by Vah's side, she was about to ask where they were going, but there was another question which she found more important, "It's wierd not remembering anything..." one she was sure Vah would be able to answer. "I can't remember anything at all... Not even how I ended up here." she looked at Vah, "How come you found me and brought me there?" the most logical explanation would be that she passed out, probably because of how hungry and weak she felt when she woke up, but that still didn't explain why she couldn't remember anything at all.

[TheGunner18]

Vah slowly came to a halt when Kiara asked about how he had found her. He shouldn't really tell Kiara how he nearly left her to die. To be fair, it was his instinct, as it could've easily been a trap. Vah went against his instinct he had grown to follow and respect the evening he found Kiara. He was very glad he did.

"Well...I just sort of found you lying on the ground, helpless and unconscious." Vah started to explain, glancing a Kiara. "I knew the only option for me was to help, so I brought you back to where I live, and, well, here you are." Vah finished, gesturing out at the surroundings. "You didn't look like a rouge. More like a runaway princess." he added, chuckling to himself as he walked right next to Kiara, a mote serious expression now coming onto his face. "I can't imagine what would've happened if I didn't find you..." Vah trailed off, nuzzling Kiara, not really realising what he was doing.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara was silent the entire time. She? A ru away princess? She doubted that, because not every lion or lioness in the world was a prince or a princess, and even if they were, what would they be doing in the middle of nowhere and not in their prides' territory? However the thought soon escaped her mind as she again locked gazes with Vah.

Before she even had time to become nervous again, he said what he had said and then nuzzled her. She just stood there completely Steele and also a little confused. As confused as she was, the nuzzle still felt amazing, and after a few seconds she found herself returning it, her mind also wondering to what might have happened to her if Vah hadn't found her. "Thank you..." she said with a calm tone, a purr forming up deep down her throat as she continued returning the affectionate nuzzle.

[TheGunner18]

Vah swore his pulse froze right at that moment for a second or two. He just properly realised that he was actually nuzzling Kiara. Despite that new knowledge Vah, instead of pulling away, continued affectionatelly nuzzling Kiara and closed his eyes. "Right from the start of becoming a rogue I needed something to brighten up my life. You...you've more than just brightened it. You're so much more..." Vah whispered in her ear, letting open the floodgates to his feelings for Kiara. Vah sighed, surprised with himself for telling Kiara about how he felt. Was this what if felt like to love? Vah had no idea.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara continued to stand completely still while returning the lion's gestures. It felt like a completely new feeling, yet for some reason Kiara found it somewhat familliar, she really couldn't explain why. It was when Vah said what he said that Kiara also closed her eyes. She couldn't possibly be falling for this lion after only meeting him a few hours ago, it didn't seem like that's how it worked. However she still had those fuzzy feelings when he was around, whether it was love or whether it would become love at one point or another, she also had no idea. And his words, they seemed so meaningful and true that she really didn't know what to say in response. She just walked a little closer, still nuzzling the lion.

[TheGunner18]

Vah stepped closer to Kiara and continued nuzzling her for what seemed like an eternity. He didn't want that eternity to end, but if the two of them were actually going to do some exploring, they had better get to doing it soon. Besides, Kiara and Vah would be walking and talking together anyway. Slowly but reluctantly, Vah pulled away from her and smiled. "So...weren't we meant to be exploring?" Vah asked rhetorically, knowing the answer already. He ran forward a few metres, and then turned back to look at Kiara. "Come on! I thought you enjoyed exploring this place with me!" Vah stated in a somewhat joking manner.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kiara carried on nuzzling Vah, never wanting the moment to end. However Vah at some point pulled away, causing Kiara to let out a long sigh. She again blushed when she saw that charming smile of his, "Uh... yes, we are..." she said, before hurrying over to his side, again blushing once she stood next to him. "So..." she said, smiling a more genuine smile at the lion, "Where to next?" she was still eager on getting more information about Vah home.
