A Pit Stop (open)

[Night]

A lone gray figure stalked towards the quiet waterhole, not even a mouse daring to get in the hunter's path. His white mane blew in the wind, and the lion smirked as he realized he had the water hole to himself. He had chosen the perfect time to take a quick break from his endless traveling. Lavi reached down to lap up some water, realizing how thirsty he had actually been. How long had it been since he had water? He knew that it had been more than a day, and a little longer than that since he had had something to eat. But he wouldn't dare to hunt on the Pridelanders territory. He was well aware of the dangers that faced him if he dared to try anything funny with the large pride. The king and prince of the pride scared him; he was still inexperienced and was much smaller than the adult males. He would hunt down something later, once he was off of their land. His blue eyes studied the watering hole as he laid down to rest, and he just knew that someone would come and end his pleasant relaxation. Although, if it was a pretty young lioness that disturbed his peace, he realized with a sly smile, he wouldn't mind that at all.

A young lioness padded to the water hole. Lilly had left Star with the other lionesses and Lion. But she was gonna come back shortly she was just taking a quick drink. Lilly's fur bristled thinking of that horrible cheetah that almost killed her sister. She hissed in rage. Lilly shook her head. Lilly tried to calm down. Lilly sighed and went to the Watering Hole. She bent down to take a drink she drank the water and sat down. Just then she scented someone. She looked around and saw a young male lion. Lilly flicked her ears and turned from the male and laid down, resting.
Her blue eyes watching the watering hole. Lilly's claws unsheathed, still in anger. Lilly once again tried her best to calm down. Lilly watched the water and saw fish swim around the water.

[Night]

Lavi watched as a yellow lioness walked into the area around the watering hole, and she looked somewhat angry and tense. The gray male couldn't help noticing the young lionesses beauty, and couldn't help himself when he stood up and walked over to her, his expression calm and collect and a slight grin on his face. Upon reaching the lioness he sat on his haunches, his expression thoughtful. "You look angry. Something on your mind?" He said, a warm smile spreading across his face, although he was just waiting for her to cool off to flirt with her. He couldn't exactly flirt with an angry lioness, now could he? The wind ruffled his mane, blowing longer strands of it into his face. His blue eyes flashed with annoyance as he tried to blow the strands out of the way, trying to not look stupid in front of the female.

{Lilly}

Lilly was just thinking to herself that she had to keep a more careful eye on her sister when, the male lion she saw spoke to her. Lilly stood up, her tail slashing back and forth a sign that she was irritated. Lilly looked at the male "Yes i do" Lilly growled lowly. Lilly's ears flattened she glanced at the male. Lilly was the kind of lioness that was a bit of a hothead. Lilly lashed her tail she unsheathed her claws slightly. Lilly did not know this male and for all she knew he could attack. Lilly, looked down and glanced at the male her ears flattened Lilly was angry alright and she was REALLY angry.

[Night]

Lavi watched as the lioness stood up, her tail lashing back and forth. His eyes widened a little bit at seeing how angry she was, but he didn't feel threatened what-so-ever. He was actually a little amused, but didn't smile at her. He didn't want to make her even more angry. His expression thoughtful, he stood up and watched her carefully. "Well, if you have something on your mind why don't you tell me about it?" The grey lion said warmly, his voice like warm honey. "I've been told that I'm a very good listener." Lavi finished with a warm smile. He wasn't the type to fight, and always tried to resolve it before running. He knew he could take the lioness in a fight, but it was against his code to attack lionesses. He smiled crookedly at the yellow lioness, hoping she would take a hint and calm down a little bit.

{Lilly}

Lilly's ears were pointed the the side slightly. Lilly's eyes softened more. Lilly hesitated. Lilly sat down. Lilly sighed, "Well me and my little sister were walking in the Jungle today, I left my sister in a tree nearby I went hunting and when i came back my sister was gone." Lilly finished the first part of the bad day. Lilly, flattened her ears back again this time not in anger, just worried. "I started to look for her and eventually I reached the Canyon I saw her with two other cubs." Lilly, sighed "There was a cheetah there I knew that that cheetah wanted to to you know what" Lilly said, softly. Lilly looked at the male "I jumped in front of her and the other cubs" Lilly told the lion. "I growled and told the cheetah to leave the cheetah refused." Lilly said. Her tail wasn't lashing. " I attacked the cheetah it didn't work though. Before I knew it the cheetah had the male cub and the cub was bleeding, very badly" Lilly told, her tail was between her legs as she remembered what happened. "That poor cub I examined his wound before he passed out" Lilly said. 'Two other lionesses came and one Lion came" Lilly said. "One of lionesses and the lion cornered the cheetah" "After the lioness backed away the lion pinned down the cheetah" Lilly said softly. "I just came back from the canyon" Lilly told. "The cheetah's still there also" Lilly said softly. Lilly's tail went between her legs.

[Night]

Lavi listened quietly to the lioness's story, not bothering to interrupt her as she explained what had happened. After she finished, the grey lion twitched his ears and smiled. "Sounds like you've had a really rough day." He laughed, his voice friendly. Nothing much really happened to Lavi except for his everyday life. It was calming for him to listen to how others days went. His life was boring, regardless of what he did. He fixed his blue eyes on the yellow lioness. "I think I would be in a bad mood too if my little sister was in danger. But, then again, I guess I wouldn't know that feeling. I never had any siblings." He stated, a small grin on his face. He found cubs somewhat annoying anyways, so he was glad that his mother had never chosen to have more cubs while he was there. He didn't know about now, and he didn't really care. After all, he was living his own life now. He didn't need to worry over his family's life anymore. All he had to care about now was himself. Lavi looked at the yellow lioness, his mane finally settling down from a gust of wind. "By the way, what's your name?" He asked the lioness. "Mine's Lavi." He stated with a smile.

[nala15]

Lilly's right ear pointed forward and her left ear pointed slightly to the side. Her tail flicked slightly, she more calmer now. Lilly smiled back at the male. She listened as he told her his name.
"I'm Lilly" she replied. A few strands of fur on her head fell into her eyes. Lilly's face showed that she was slightly annoyed. Lilly blew the strands out of her face. She glanced back at Lavi. Lilly smiled slightly. Her icy blue eyes stared back at Lavi. Her ears twitched slightly. Lilly, was calmer now. She is a really sweet lioness it's just sometimes she can be a hothead. Lilly's tail flicked calmly.

Lavi smiled warmly as the lioness told him her name. "Lilly? That's a beautiful name." The grey lion said warmly, a sweet grin on his face. He stretched out, his claws digging into the ground. He hadn't had a chance like this to relax in a long time. He was usually always on the move, with no time to stop and chat with others. A thought suddenly struck his head. Could he flirting with an important lioness of some pride? Surely a male would rip his fur out if he was! Lavi gulped, trying to keep himself under control. Everything about him looked perfectly calm, except for his eyes which were a little wider than usual. "Um, what pride do you belong to?" He asked Lilly, his voice happy. "Unless, you don't have a pride?" He finished, settling down on his haunches. He looked at the lioness with his sky-blue eyes, wondering whether she would find his question suspicious or not.

[nala15]

Lilly, blushed as Lavi compliment on her name. "Thank you veru much" Lilly replied. She then, noticed his eyes were a little wide. She listened as he asked what pride she was in. "Well i was formerly in a pride but now i'm a rogue" Lilly replied to Lavi's question. Lilly looked at Lavi with her icy blue eyes. She smiled slightly. Lilly looked at Lavi, her tail rested on her paws. The lioness glanced at him "Do you live in a pride?" Lily asked, her blue eyes studying, Lavi. Lilly stretched slightly and flexed her claws. Her eyes focused on Lavi, waiting for his response.

[Night]

Lavi relaxed a lot when Lilly told him that she didn't belong in a pride. He had to hold in a sigh of relief. He smiled warmly at her, happy that he hadn't gotten himself into something that he couldn't handle. "What happened that made you become a rogue? If I may ask." He asked, still smiling. Was she like him, wanting to wander the land as she pleased? Or was there something else, something that she had to go away from? Either way, the grey lion knew that nothing could change how he saw the lioness. He had met a lot of other lions and lionesses during his travels, and each one that he met was different in some way. He laughed after Lilly asked him if he lived in a pride. "I used to. But that was a long time ago." He said, his voice sincere. "I've been traveling on my own for a while. I hate living in the cooped-up life of a pride." He admitted, smiling. His eyes studied her carefully.

[nala15]

Lilly, was surprised by the question. "Well, my parents got sick with a disease and died my parents were the leaders of my pride and my aunts had died earlier last year so that's why i'm a rogue" Lilly replied to Lavi. Lilly lashed her tail she listened to Lavi as he talked about how he used to live in a pride and has been on his own for a while. Lilly, couldn't agree more sometimes, she wished that she could get away from her used to be pride. Lilly, watched Lavi as he studied her icy blue eyes.
