Simba glared into Kivuli's eyes, listening closely to what he was saying. The words that were coming out of this banished lion's maw were beginning to bug him to no end and with the possibility of more Pride members meddling in their private meeting worried him to a certain degree.

"Spending time in a war and training for two years still won't get you near the caliber that Nala and I have. You have to realize that both of us have been around longer than you and we had our share of fights. Besides, if you even attempt to come at me, my mate will pry you off without mercy. Trust me, you don't want to experience a bite from my mate." Simba declared, keeping a close eye on Kivuli to make sure he wouldn't sneak an attack.

After their small little argument was over, Simba's fuzzy orange ears perked up to hear his beloved mate mention that she wasn't going to leave him and wanted to stay by his side. He couldn't blame her for this course of commission, knowing too well that he would've done the same thing if he was in this sort of position.

"You're right sweetie, I just always want you safe. I would've done the same thing like you if I were in your position." Simba smiled and gave a quick wink in her direction.

With things fallen silent once more, Simba diverted his attention back to Kivuli and noticed he was getting ready for some sort of action. Not liking this idea one bit, the king immediately took a fighting stance and waited for a good opportunity to defend himself and most importantly, his loving mate.

"Kivuli, even if the odds are stacked between Nala and I, you will most definitely not achieve what you're going for. I really don't see any point to this fight you're longing for. In my opinion, it's a complete waste of time. I'm still giving you a chance however. If you back off now, I'll let you go. If you decide not to, be my guest and try to attack." Simba's amicable sounding tone rang out quietly, having no awareness that Kovu was close by at this point.

Sirom poked his head in the Elephant skull, having no knowledge that Sykara was taking a light nap. He almost felt sorry of startling the poor lioness as his innocent eyes caught a glimpse of her own eyes slowly opening. By this point, he quickly moved his head back and cleared his throat.

"Oh, sorry about that Sykara... I didn't know you were sleeping and well... I was just wondering where you were." Sirom replied in a nervous tone, swiping a fore paw across the dirty surface. His fuzzy brown ears perked up to hear a question coming from his companion.

"Shani? No... I haven't seen him at all, he's probably near the waterhole or something. He didn't tell me where he was going but that's just my guess." Sirom smiled and took a seat now, giving a good thorough look of the area he was currently in. This was the first time he came across such a place.

"You know Sykara, this is my first time actually seeing this place. You've been around these parts for a long time right? What made you come to this particular spot? Also... I was wondering, did you have a pride long time ago? Sorry if I seem demanding... If you don't feel comfortable of answering, it's okay. I figured since we're in the same pride with Shani, I thought it'll be nice to get to know one another better." Sirom's spoke nervously, obviously signaling that he was a bit shy when it came to casual conversations.

[[OOC: I'm sorry to do this, but there have been a few interruptions in the past page or two worth of posts, and I'm going to try and make sure that was the last of it, because it's indeed distracting. Please try not to use ooc: unless there really are no other options

First and most importantly, until Kinahra comes back to this RP please PM me about joining/leaving/adding a character, or any other things that would normally be taken care of by the owner of the RP. Basically, I'm going to "borrow" this RP so we can keep it alive =)

also, LilTiger contacted me in PM and agreed that Kovu would stay out of the developing situation between Kivuli, Nala, and Simba until it was resolved one way or the other.

I'll use this opportunity to say that Shani will be on a long trip for the next two weeks real time, seeing as I'm going on vacation soon and I don't want to re-introduce him just to have to find another excuse later to take him out of the RP.

Again, my profound apologies for this very unpleasantly disruptive post. we have for many pages. As we return to the RP we find Simba and Nala encircling Kivuli, and it is up to Kivuli to respond to Simba's combination offer/challenge.

Sirom and Sykara will have to fend for themselves in the outlands, having had a little bit of a meal together not long ago.

ready, and, action!]]

[[OOC: Hey Everyone! I'm, yeah, back from the dead >.>.... *reading over the RP*...Hmmm....Not...really sure where to pick back up XD.....Alright, I'll give it a shot...]]

Paw steps after another, Huyani walked alone, in the Outlands, looking about the orange sky above. Traveling alone wasn't probably the best way to go, in her opinion. But at the rate she was at, it was the only way she had been for weeks now. Carrying her tired body, she walked alittle bit further, till, she saw, saw something. "Graveyard..." Huyani smiled. "Maybe someone's here." She ran ahead of her, and as she had it up to the Elephant Graveyard, she looked around. Someone had to be here, but she didn't know. Taking a breathe, and wiff of the area, she walked around, trying to find anyone she could.

[LilTiger]

I shouldn't desturb them, but I'll come back in a while. Then, Kovu ran off to patrol some more. Hmm. The Graveyard seems fine. then, Kovu ran off towards the Graveyard. Since there were no more hyena's, it was safe to enter. As he walked through. He smelled something. A lion or lioness. Then, Kovu ran a little closer to the smell. A lioness. Then, Kovu ran towards the smell. Then, Kovu saw the lioness. He jumped infront of her. What are you doing here outsider?!

[Nightstar75]

Huyani looked at the lion ahead of her. She knew who this was... But Huyani didn't say a word. She let down her guard alittle bit, then sighed. She refused to speak, and tried walking away futher into the Elephant Graveyard, but for a safe measure, Huyani looked back at the lion. "What is it to you, if I am here for not?" She said, and walked off into the Elephant Graveyard.

[KingKivuli]

Kivul observed his situation. It was clear Simba was not going to honor the request of a one on one fight just for honor and pride. Finally Kivuli gave in Fine you win. I will not fight you, at least not yet Kivuli stood up and retracted his claws. He then thought for moment about what happened He had just burst anddisrupted the peace of the pridelands. Not the best way to get on Simbas good side. In the end Kivuli decided if he wanted his fight then he had to sck up to Simba and bare it Forgie me my hostile action, i have been doing nothing but train and fight for 2 years. My manners have all but been forgetten

Sykara saw the shyness in Sirom's voice and blinked softly in return. To think of it, she had never really talked to other lions much either.

"No, no, it's fine." Sykara tried her best to be convincing to Sirom, and to put it nicely, being convincing wasn't one of Sykara's top skills. "You know, I don't really sleep that well anyways, espacially in places I don't know too well, like an elephant skull."

Upon hearing Sirom's questions, Sykara sighed, and her brown eyes focused another way for a second. "Me? I don't know these graveyard parts like the back of my paw, but I can say I've been roaming the Outlands for a while now." Sykara then pushed her head and neck further in the hole of the skull, then carefully made sure she didn't bump into Sirom as her entire figure pushed itself out of the tight space of the skull, and sat down a yard or so away from Sirom.

"I never really belonged to a Pride at all. In fact, I barely remember my early cubhood at all. I don't remember my parent's names, or anything. Just being left one day...So, I went to the Pridelands, but ran away after I was practically being starved to death. It's obvious that the Outlands doesn't provide the best food supply, but here I am, and while I'm still skinny, I just feel at home here, away from most lions." Sykara took a short breath, to take in all of the words that she had just said. "You and Shani are the first two lions I've talked to in ages."

After finishing saying everything, Sykara lifted her head in one direction and sniffed the air. Is there yet another lion or lioness present here?

[LilTiger]

Kovu looked at her. He ran after her, then, stopped her in her tracks. "For your
infromation, I'm patroling, and I'm supposed to look for outsiders like you!" Then, Kovu started to walk back, but then thought about Nala and Simba...and that strange lion. He thought that this lioness was with him, and it was possible that she was with him, and so was that other lioness near them. Then, he then ran towards her and pinned her.

[Nightstar75]

Huyani, pinned against the ground, looked up at Kovu and growled with the rage deep inside. Couldn't he of just let her go? "Get off me!" She yelled, and snipped at Kovu's face. Whatever it was, she didn't want to be reported back, well, where ever, being her she had better had been left alone. She used her forearms, to shove Kovu off, stand up, and started walking away away again. "Keep to yourself lion." She mummbled, and looked around the Elephant Graveyard. She gaze kept to the bones, the miles of endless bones, but she didn't see anyone standing there, and decided to keep moving forward.

[LilTiger]

Grr! Stop right there! Kovu was serious. If you move one more step, you feel your worst nightmare. Then, Kovu watched her with his eyes, he didn't evne blink. He didn't want her to get away. If you don't move, then fine, but if you do....grr. Then, Kovu walked closer to her. But didn't blink.
