Destined Bonds (Private Mane and Accalia)

[Accalia]

Pure astonishment crossed Arlo's face he sat down suddenly "Ara!..." Arlo was overjoyed but confused as well

[Accalia]

He licked Ara and purred, a very unknown thing for Arlo to do.

[mane6]

She smiled at his reaction, purring too. "Its a litter of 3 or 4.." she says with a smile, wrapping her tail round his, like humans holding hands.

[Accalia]

He leant against her despite the pain, "Ara, will you run away with me?"

[mane6]

"Run away why? But other than that, I go wherever you may go." She says with a smile, flicking her tail.

[Accalia]

"Ara, I am tired of following other peoples rules, I want to be my own lion and live life to the best it can be, and I want my cubs to have the freedom and security of living in a family pride. Ara you may not know this but others may kill our cubs out of jealousy. I just want them, us to be safe." Arlo says this with meaning and love

[mane6]

"I must admit, it is very boring with rules, and I understand where your coming from, the whole pride blame us for Meupis death, so they could kill our cubs out of hatred. I understand, and I will run away with you, so we can be free." She nods with a smile nuzzling him softly.

[Accalia]

"Thank you Ara, I knew you would understand."

[Accalia]

"Those herbs have helped a lot, thank you my love."

[Accalia]

Arlo didn't feel as much of the pain in his ribs anymore and could move freely.

[mane6]

"Its no problem, but you should be thanking the shaman." She laughs.

[Accalia]

Arlo laughs his deep rumble and looks up at Ara "Ahhh, do you remember when we were cubs?"

[mane6]

"Heh, yes. We were a handful for our parents" she laughed. "Our cubs will probably be like us too, aftrall it is in their blood." She chuckled.

[Accalia]

Arlo chuckled "Yes they probably will, which is why they will end a safe place to grow up."

[mane6]

"Yes, we can let them be free." She smiles.

[Accalia]

Arlo smiles back and lies down, his headache begins to swim and he starts to fall asleep. "Ara, will, will you be my mate.?"

[mane6]

She lies beside him, resting her golddn head on her paws. "Of course I will Arlo." She purrs, closing her minty green eyes and beginning to sleep.

[Accalia]

He smiles his childish grin and licks her cheek finally falling asleep

((Won't be on for a while drawing ^ ^ ))

[mane6]

She sleeps softly, rolling upon her side happily.

(K)

[Accalia]

Arlo yawns and stretches looking up at the sun, then at Ara. "How about that, I am the first one up for a change!" He says to himself. He bends down to Ara's face and licks it gently, and whispers good morning in her ear.

((Do you want to skip some time so Arlo can be better and cubs can nearly be here?))

[mane6]

((Go ahead! And I love the pic you drew!))
Ara slowly lifted her head up slowly, her eyes opening partially to adjust to the light. She laughed, and yawned. "Well I was very tired." She says, lifting herself to her paws, trying to get used to the amount of weight she was carrying, it was very tiring work. "Especially with the weight of our cubs. They will soon be here, dear Arlo." She smles.

[Accalia]

He smiles back, giddy with excitement. He wandered out from the cave and looked over his pride lands. "Ara I know this was hard for you, but thank you for reclaiming your old pride's land." He took a deep breath in and let it out slowly completely calm and content.

((Thanks ^ ^ ))

[mane6]

"It was no problem, the bad memorys have faded. " she smiles, laughing at his giddiness, padding beside him her swollen belly exposed to the calm, yet slight chilly wind.

[Accalia]

Arlo saw Ara shudder slightly with cold and guided her back to the edge of the cave. "Ara, are you hungry, or thirsty, do you need anything?" Arlo says in a caring tone

[mane6]

"Im fine for now." She smiles, stretching. "Although, I might get some extra rest, im really tired. " she says, with a yawn and lying down, tucking her front paws under hef stomach, and resting her head on the floor. She closed her eyes and fell asleep almost instantly.

[Accalia]

Arlo smiles down at Ara and sits down. he sat there looking out of the cave always checking for danger, he wouldn't let his Ara get hurt ever again.

[mane6]

Ara continued to sleep softly, mumbling ever so slightly and stirring in her sleep. "No.. Meupi.." she mumbles.

[Accalia]

Arlo looks sad when he heard what Ara said in her sleep. "I am so sorry about that Ara, I never meant for it to happen." He says to himself. "I will protect you and our pride as well as I can from now on. " he says with surety

[mane6]

Ara continued to twitch, a frown on her muzzle. What Meupi said that one day has constantly haunted her dreams.

[Accalia]

Arlo's eyes became filled with tears and he looked to the floor, he had always hated himself for that day, when he had ran off with Ara, and when he woke up and Ara wasn't there, he always had that fear when he woke up and didn't see her next to him.
