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

[Zeke]

"Cool. Grab the hind leg, Ill get the front," He said, lifting up his side of the antelope

(gtg to Bball b back in 1 1/2 hr)

[NightmareMoon]

Mila picked up the lifeless antelope's back, while Zeke picked up the other side. They started to walk towards the cave.


(Not much to say atm)

[Zeke]

~back at the cave~

Zeke and Mila dropped the antelope down next to Bakari and started chowin down, waiting for him to wake up. He realized the somewhat depressed look on Mila's face and felt very guilty, yet he did not know what he did wrong. Dang, what did I do? He wondered as his self-conscience tore him to pieces.

[NightmareMoon]

Mila enjoyed the antelope that Zeke had caught. While eating, she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty that she didn't help him. She bursted out "Sorry I didn't help you with the catch. I don't know what got over me." She did, in fact, knew what got over her at the time, but didn't want to let Zeke know. She thought Zeke wasn't interested in her, so she wanted to keep the friendship she had. "If you want me to catch something for you later, I will." She continued. Her face kept the semi-depressed look while saying this. She needed someone to cuddle against.

[Zeke]

"Hey, its no big deal, don't sweat it. This was an easy catch. It was lame on its left hind leg, still fun though." Zeke munched on the antelope and thought about the past events of the last two days. To him, it was an unusual change in fortune; two new friends and food.

[NightmareMoon]

Hmph. Does he have any experience with lionesses? Mila thought. Ugh, he's still cute though. She stopped eating and looked at Zeke, who was having too much fun eating the antelope. Mila giggled at Zeke, fairly loudly, and smiled. The smile quickly faded though.

[Zeke]

The giggle made Zeke's head jerk up in suprise. Didn't see that comming, He thought, bewildered by Mila's behavior. This is the first time he had interacted with any lion or lioness for a few years, so he wasnt accustomed to the interacting with them very well. Zeke took one last bite of the antelope and backed off, waiting for Bakari to wake up and take his fill.

[NightmareMoon]

"Betcha didn't know you eat like a pig" Mila said, and giggled again. She thought it was hilarious. When Zeke stopped eating, Mila stared at Zeke and didn't take her eyes off him.

[Zeke]

The stare was starting to make Zeke feel uncomfortable and he needed something to do. "So, why are you here all alone?" He asked, hoping Mila would stop staring; He hated attracting attention.

[NightmareMoon]

Is he afraid of me? He always looks uncomfortable when I do anything besides talk.. Mila wondered. She didn't have time to think about her question when Zeke asked her a question of his own. Mila thought for a little, and said "It's kind of a long story.. and I don't like to think about it.." She looked towards Bakari, with a saddened face again. Today was not Mila's day.
