Breeding Prompt (IC)
The sun slowly rose over the vast stretch of rolling dunes. Trough the harsh cry of the wind three figures braved the storm. Ahead of the pack a sandy colored male lion, his fur the very reflection of his home. Behind him another male followed, his violet eyes missing nothing as it scanned across thier surroundings. Halting as he turned his head upon a beautiful brown and white tinted lioness. Keanjaho waited patiently for the female to catch up as they walked futher and futher away from thier home. On thier way to meet Ralikai, a king that chose to establish his kingdom near the edge of the desert, right in the heart of a lush green kingdom full of life. It whould be a few more hours of traveling. But eventually they will arrive soon.
After hours of travel Onyesha finally saw the vast stretch of greenery. Raising her head against the sharp evening light she closely observed two figures waiting. Their form illuminated by the sharp rays of the sun. Her king was the first to approach, bowing his head respectively as his rough voice rumbled. "Greetings Ralikai...im looking forward to discussing with you. This must be your heir...Hazmir i presume?" He smiled at them both warmly. aEmarald tinted eyes turning upon his companions. "My healer Keanjaho and Onyesha, the pride's waterguide." Keanjaho had bowed his head once the sandy coloured king said his name. However the female's eyes was locked not on the king, but the figure next to him. Yet feeling the burning gaze from Ar Ramlah upon her, she diped her respectfully. "It's an honor to meet you your Grace. " Knowing it really wasn't her turn ti speak she continued. Addressing the male next to the king. "I must apologize for stareing...It's really a privilege to stand before you" She responded with a small flush of colour. At the sign of that Ar Ramlah cleared his throat as he began to speak to the ruler, asking if they both chould take a stroll out of earshot from the rest. Keanjaho kindly ask for a drink if water as he excused himself. While Onyesha watched both of her companions trot off she was now left alone with the male. Turning her gaze upon him.

Hazmir stared at Onyesha for a split second, unsure what he should say at first. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful lioness had visited his territory, but was much to polite to say it out loud. Keeping his thoughts to himself, he decided to welcome his guest.
"Welcome to the territory of the Kinori pride, I hope you enjoy your visit." He dips his head respectfully, hoping to show proper hospitality to the young lioness.
He looks up from his bow to share eye contact with Onyesha, both of them beginning to blush.
"I look forward to our alliance." He mutters to her softly.
He feels his cheeks rising in heat at her gentle gaze, but tries to suppress his feelings for the sake of his pride. He turns away from her gaze, realising that they should do something more than stare at each other while she was visiting.
"Would you like to take a tour of the area?" Hazmir gestured with his tail towards his favourite spot. The lioness gave a silent nod, seeming a bit shy. Hazmir took note and decided to be extra gentle just to make sure not to scare her. He took the lead in guiding the pretty, brown and white lioness around the lands that were soon to be his to rule over. First, they started by walking down the shrub infested pathways, which were void of life. Not many animals came through here often, which helped with privacy. This path eventually led to a radiant forest with lush greenery, a stark contrast to where they had just been.
Hazmir suddenly realised something pretty important. He had yet to introduce himself. "Oh, by the way, my name is Hazmir." He tried to act casual, but he couldn't help but feel star struck. "I'm Onyesha, nice to meet you." the smaller lion hesitantly answered back, glancing up at him with a smile.
The two of them talked for a bit while they walked to his favourite spot. Hazmir eventually got Onyesha to open up a bit about her hobbies through gently encouraging her. He couldn't help but notice the small glances that she would occasionally take and the slight blush on her cheeks. Without even realising, the two lions started walking closer together, until they were practically leaning on each other. Hazmir twined his tail with hers, noticing her blush increase by the act.
As they got nearer to the place they were looking for, Onyesha gasped at the beauty that unfolded. A mystical scene laid out before them. A swirling layer of mist gave rise to a magnificent waterfall, with a large cliff face jutting out overhead. The sun perfectly reflected on the surface of the small pool that was formed under the waterfall. Hazmir always loved coming here to relax, but he had never been able to share it with anyone else, until now.
The two blushing fools sat close by the waterfall, cuddling, grooming each other and talking about all kinds of things until it got dark.
It turns out they were both just what the other needed, something that neither of their prides could provide. Maybe this alliance wouldn't be too bad for the two star struck lovers after all. [- WolfStormSC]
