'Wet' season had taken over, and rain poured. Today it had been partly cloudy, but now the clouds have disappeared leaving the blue stretch of sky. She had little of an idea where she was, the thundering of somekind reached her round ears and alerted her of where she was. Johari. Raising her dappled face she placed a light colored paw forward, her slender head was above this uneccessary bush. Golden-browns stared out at the scenary. A large waterfall it was, it had been fed by the current rain. There were several rocks about, and the sun was beating down. That meant sunbathing.

Her pelt of light tan seemed to blend in with the dark grass as she made her way to the waterfall. Placing a paw in the water she tested how cold it was. The lioness took her paw from the water and lowered her head, taking a few heavy laps of water to cool herself down. Her thirst was quenched, once again she raised her head, ears flickering forward at the soft rustles. The hefty lioness didn't think much of it. Turning she made her way to a nice looking rock. Crouching low she caculated how big her jump would be. Leaping up she grasped the rock with her heavy claws and clawed the soft rock.

The soft scraping noises made her wince softly. Nestling down onto the soft fur on her belly she turned swiftly onto her left side, exposing her right. Her scarred chest rose up and down along with her side. It was nice and warm, and her pelt was heating up fast.</sub>

Oddyssian

The storm had past and Oddyssian made himself known to the world. His golden pelt was a little damp from the little rain that had gotten through the large acacia tree.

He stepped out from the shelter of the tree to go in serch of prey. He carried himself proudly even though no one was around, he wasn't showing off, it was just the way he was. He slowed to a stalk when he heard rustling through the tall grass. He crouched in a praying position, crawling slowly twards the scource of the noise.....

Then his radars heard the scratching of another lion. He rose up out of his crouching position and sat up. He had scented her before he had saw her. He looked a little past the nearest tree and saw an 'ess sunning herself on a large rock by the river.

He perked his radars and stalked closer untill he was feet from her. He parted his fangs and spoke gently but firmly to the 'ess....

Greetings ' Ess, I am Oddyssian. May I know whom you are and what your business is here?

The sun seeped through her fur, into her skin, warming it up, and diminishing the cold. Curved harks were flickered back, and she let out a rowdy purr of contentment. Licking her lips, the lioness let out a sigh, her soft chocolate brown opticals squinting at the pleasure. The lioness turned, paws helping her move from one side to the other. Miia was only in contentment, that was all, she loved the heat of the sun on a wet day.

Greetings ' Ess, I am Oddyssian. May I know whom you are and what your business is here?

Miia was startled by the voice, and she nearly threw herself off the rock in surprise. A male, handsome, but still a male. The fur along her neck and rump began to bristle. "Miia sir! I was...just sunning myself...I'll be on my way if this place is yours," she stated softly, brown tipped tail flicking.</sub>

Kumar

The sun was warm today, and Kumar was grateful. He was tired of all this rain, and glad that the dry season was coming upon the land. In a few months, he knew, his fur would be coated with dust and his mouth dry. He would be begging the gods for rain. But in the meantime … well, the sun was nice to see. He could live with the sun – it was the rain that bothered him.

So here he was, looking for a place to feel the warmth on his fur. He had stumbled across this waterfall and these surrounding rocks recently, and noticed their potential, although at the time they had been slimy and slippery and the river had been bloated with water. Now the river was lower, and soon there would be prey coming here to drink, Kumar guessed.

And lions. There were two lions here, Kumar realized, as he stood at the edge of the forest watching. There was a female here, a young lioness. “Miia sir! I was...just sunning myself...I'll be on my way if this place is yours,” she said quietly, a bit nervously. Kumar glanced over and saw the male, too – larger than he was (but, granted, he was small) and looking proud and haughty. Full of himself and flaunting his power, Kumar thought in annoyance. He stepped out of the forest and walked steadily over to the two.

“Intimidating ladies,” Kumar said lightly, addressing the male. “Isn’t a very gentlemanly thing to do.”
