Sobi sighed. She was laying in the back corner of the cave and the only other being in there with her was a small sleeping bat dangling from the roof. Her family was not around, they stayed lower on the mountain. She had discovered this hidden cave while exploring, and now that she was older, she went there to be alone. Her mind was thinking of only one thing...Sunzu, a cheetah that lived in Ufalme Teule. He was a good friend of hers, but she wanted more than friendship. "Stop," she thought. "You're a lion, he's a cheetah. End of story." But she couldn't help but love him. "What will my brother-in-law say? He was mad enough when I liked a rouge lion, if I told him I was in love with a rouge cheetah, he'd freak out!" she thought. She sighed again. Getting up, and walking to the entrance of her cave, she looked out at the cloudless sky and thought that life was unfair. "Maybe I'll climb a little higher today." she said softly. Sobi could hear her sisters calling for her down where the pride's cave was, but she didn't turn towards them. She wanted to get away, so higher she went. "I'll be even more alone up here....I won't even be able to hear their voices." Her thoughts drifted back to Sunzu. "I wonder if he feels the same way about me.....nah, he's probably not weird like I am. He's probably never even thought of loving any other besides a cheetah." She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice that someone else was on top of the mountain with her....

((OOC: Forgive me this is so short))
A growl came from the bushes as the lioness passed them. “Who are you?” it asked, it was defiantly male, though sounding young still. “What are you doing this high up?” A pair of dark blue eyes peered at the lioness from the behind the leaves.

Sobi turned quickly to see who spoke. She only saw two blue eyes. Even though she knew it was a male, and could probably overpower her, she wasn't afraid in the least. "This is my family's mountain, so what does it matter how high up I go?" she snorted. "I was only trying to get away from them. They always stay down there," she paused and looked over the ledge. "They always disrupt my thoughts and bother me with boring conversation, so I was up here enjoying the day. What about you? Why are you up here?"

“I did not realize this land was claimed…” He lied. His large paws crept forward as he stepped from behind the bush, into the light so the female could see who she was dealing with. A young lion, mane just growing in, his eyes looked almost lost, though they were sharp. His pelt was white, with black splotches, with a blonde mane, the color of a dry field. He was a very odd looking lion, though didn’t seem like the type to worry about. “Forgive me. I am trying to escape my own family.” He said, his voice smooth and rather deep.

Sobi relaxed a little, but she still kept her guard up. "Okay." she said curtly. She thought he was a very strange color. She raised one eyebrow and asked, "So, where are you from, Stranger? I don't think I've ever seen anyone colored like you before."

The male looked uncomfortable at that, eyes casting to the ground, away from the lioness. “Neither has my pride.” He stated. “I am from an alley kingdom.” He said nodding to the south. “We’re neighbors I suppose.” He stated, looking back to the lioness. “Who are you?” He asked.

"Sobi. I'm King Sokoto's sister-in-law. What's your name?" She had almost completely forgotten about Sunzu, talking to the newcomer.

((ooc: no prob))
The male smiled. “I am Milkel. I am nephew to the queen.” He stated, the king would have nothing to do with him, he was the son of the Queen’s sister. He decided to sit, enjoying talking to this new friend. He looked back down the hill. “Why do you hide for your thoughts?” he asked looking back to Sobi.

She looked to the ground at his question. "My thoughts shame my family." she mumbled. "I couldn't even tell Teara, my younger sister, what I think. Even though were so close to each other, she still wouldn't understand." She refused to meet his eyes. She flicked a tiny pebble that was sitting at her feet and continued to stare at the ground.

The male nodded, looking further up the hill. His flews edging into a smile. “Perhaps… We can take a walk? Take a load off your chest?” he offered, he would not breath a word she spoke to him, no matter what it may be. “You can trust me…” he promised.

Sobi cut her eyes at him. Could she really trust him? This odd colored stranger she'd just met? Maybe she could just give him a little info...just to test him. Then maybe, just maybe, she'd tell him everything. "Sure, we can take a walk." She started walking further up the mountain, looking back to see if Milkel was following.

The young male smiled when she agreed. He followed her quickly to catch up, slowing to walk in-step with her. “Forgive me, I don’t get to talk to anyone often, I’m sure you can see why.” He said looking to his blotched coloring. He was glad to find someone who seemed to be so kind.

Sobi scrunched up her nose. "If someone won't talk to you just because you've got a more interesting coat than they do, they've got problems...and they probably wouldn't make very good company anyway." she said, giving her head a toss. They walked on a few moments in silence and her thoughts drifted back to Sunzu and her sticky situation. Nearly forgetting she had company, she murmured, "What am I gonna do?"

Milkel was surprised that the lioness didn’t mind his odd coloring, he was also grateful for that. His ear twitched when the other spoke, looking up to her. “Do? About what?” He asked gently.

Sobi jumped a little when he spoke. "Oh, I didn't realize I was loud enough to hear..." she said, embarassed. "It's nothing." She paused, and after a moment she asked, "Can you keep a secret?"
