The young lion smiled to her. “Who am I going to tell?” he asked softly. “You can tell me anything, your secrets are safe with me, Sobi.” He nodded to her. “I never go back on my word.” He assured her.

She sat down, eager to share her secret with someone. Maybe the weight of it all wouldn't be so crushing if someone else knew. "Okay, it's like this; I love this guy but he's not a lion and if I told my sisters or my brother-in-law they would freak out and I don't know how they would respond to it...." she took a breath "so I haven't told them because they wouldn't understand!" Sobi slowed down a bit just in case Milkel was not able to keep up with her "excited" pace. "He's a cheetah, and I'm not sure how he feels about me. I know it wouldn't work between us, but I can't help but love him!" she said with dismay. "I don't know what to do. Of course, I'm not expecting advice, I'm just glad you are here to listen. Thanks in advance for not telling anyone." she said with a weak smile.

The male smiled. “I wish I could give you advice, besides perhaps talking to him.” he tried, he was not at all disgusted, one couldn’t stop their heart. “You’re welcome… in advance.” He smiled. He raised his paw and lifted her chin. “You’ll figure something out, you’re a smart girl, I can tell.”

Sobi raised her eyes to meet his. "You don't think I'm weird?"

((thats okay- mine is kinda weird)) Milkel shook his head. “No, not really. I liked a cow before.” He stated, he had before ventured into human lands at one time.

Sobi couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry, I'm not making fun, it's just I've never heard of a carnivore in love with prey." she giggled. "Well, enough about me. What's your story, Milkel?"
((ooc: can u post a pic of milkel? i want to draw a pic of him & sobi @ the top of the mountain))

((sure thing- smg.photobucket.com/albums/v238/BrokenLioness/?action=view¤t=Mooo.jpg )) Milkel chuckled. “Well, she had the same markings as me, and I was just a cub.” He stated. He sighed in thought. “Well my aunt is the queen, my mother is her sister. I have a litter mate brother. We are twins, except he isn’t so splotchy.” He stated with a sad smile. He sat once they reached he top, looking toward his uncle’s lands. “He was very popular as a younger cub… and still is.” He shrugged. “Not much to say really… I was always running off, wanting to meet someone that liked me.” He “I will be banned from my pride soon, I am almost of age.”

"So, no one's ever liked you? Not even your family?" Sobi asked in surprise. "How do you deal with it?" She looked at him quizzically. He seemed strong at heart, and Sobi wished that she could be as strong and brave as he was. "Are you going back to your pride, or are you just staying away so they won't have to ban you?"

"My mother loved me, as only a mother would... but she was ashamed of me and my coloring." He explained. He looked up across the lands. "I will return home. Though in a few months my brother and I both will probably be sent away." He stated. "Though Miles is the Prince's best friend... I doubt he'll go far." He shook his head and laughed shyly. "Sorry, I shouldn't burden you with my problems."

"It's no burden at all! If you have nowhere to stay, when you're sent away, I mean.... you could stay here...at the top so my family won't see you," she looked at her new friend, "I mean, that is if you want to." Sobi instinctively looked towards the west. "Oh my gosh! Look how low the sun is! I didn't even realize I'd stayed out this late! I'm so sorry Milkel, but I have to get back down to our cave." she exclaimed, jumping to her feet. "Will you be here tomorrow?"

Milkel blinked at the sun, wincing slightly. "I didn't realize it either." He stated, standing and stretching. "I will be here tomorrow." He nodded. "As long as I can sneak up here again." He smiled, he had pushed his luck this time, and might actually be caught next time.

"Ok," she said, "I'll see you then. Bye Milkel." Sobi smiled at him, then started down the mountain towards her family. Would they be mad at her for staying out so long? She was getting closer now. "Sobi!" she heard Grace calling frantically. "Sobi, why don't you answer me??" Sobi let out an annoyed sigh and quickened her pace. "I'm here, Grace." she moaned, still a ways up on the mountain. "Sobi! Where have you been?" Sokoto demanded, climbing towards her. Sobi froze. She didn't like Sokoto one bit, and here he was coming towards her. Her ears went back and she felt herself shaking with anger. He acted like he was her father... and he was only Grace's husband. "I was on top of the mountain," she answered sourly. "What's it to you?" Sokoto stopped where he was and hung his head. "Well, I'm sorry for worrying about you. Please forgive me for caring." he said sarcastically, even though he was hurt by her words. Sobi knew she had hurt his feelings, and she was glad. She continued down towards the cave, and as she walked past him she whispered, "Maybe I will, maybe I won't." Sobi bumped into him as she passed, and she held her head high, full of pride. Sokoto had given up trying to get Sobi to accept him. Maybe Grace or Teara could get some info out of her... where she had been, who she was with... that kind of stuff. "Hi, Grace! Hi, Teara!" Sobi said running up to her sisters. "I was only on top of the mountain, thinking. That's all." she said with a grin. "No need to worry; I'm fine." Sokoto watched them go into the cave chattering & laughing together, like sisters do. He only wished he could have been a part of it, like he used to be.

Milkel nodded to Sobi as she said her goodbyes. He smiled a he watched her go before standing himself and heading down the opposite side. He was slow in his decent, and wouldn't be home until late. His thoughts ventured over what he had been told, thinking of any way he could get the cheetah to talk with his new friend.

The next morning, Sobi got up early so she could go visit Milkel again. He might not be there 'till later, "...but that's okay," she thought. "It'll give me more time to be alone and think." She snuck out of the cave silently, so's not to wake anyone. However, Sokoto was already awake. He had heard her wake up and leave, but he laid still for a few more minutes, just to make sure she didn't know he was awake. He got up and followed her, far enough behind so she couldn't detect him. He had to find out what she did....he was worried something might happen if what she was doing wasn't safe. "It probably isn't safe, because if it was, she wouldn't hide it from us." he reasoned. Sobi reached the top, and watched the sun break the horizon, still completely unaware that Sokoto had followed her.

Milkel arrived only a few moments after Sobi. He smiled to her as he came to the top. "Good Morning." he said softly, stopping closer to her. "I wasn't sure if you'd be here..." he stated, sounding a bit unsure of himself.
