:Wandering For Lost Hope: {Private mane & For Her}

[mane6]

The golden pelted lioness was setting out, it had been hard traveling, without her family by her side. Just thinking about it sent the picture of her lost father to her head and a tear rolled down her face. The pain they must`ve endured... no. They would want her to be strong.

As her paws made contact with the pointed terrain of grass, she squeaked, not realising where she had wandered. And the last thing she needed was some random rouge popping out. She wasen`t that confident as it was, and certainly, was not up to fighting..

Nearby, through the grass was a small rabbit, sneaking up, she pounced on the rabbit, digging her claws into its small back and biting its neck, mumbling sorry to its body. Its true, she was so innocent, and that would all change her as a rouge. She began to eat, her ears alert for any nearby activity.

What lurked in here could be anything.. and it could be dangerous...
Or not..

[For Her]

Jangwa looked around. The general vicinity was fieldlike reaches with rocky soil. Their was a hill not too long away. The area seemed rolled with rabbits, which was the very reason he had went there. He was painfully far from the nearest desert; several kilomters, in fact. He was dizzy and tired, but hunger was a more overpowering force. He had killed a rabbit and swallowed it, but shortly thereafter he had heard a sound. It sounded like something snapping, perhaps the sound of something getting killed. "Is anyone here?" Asked Jangwa, weakly.

[mane6]

Thinking it was just her there, she didn't expect the sound of another voice. She lets a small sqeak in suprise, getting to her paws quickly, quite shocked.

She felt terrified, confined. Where was he? Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, as she circled around. Until sitting down in the squashed foilage, wrapping her tail around her haunches. She knew this was a bad place to come.

Seeing he was pretty close, her ears had pinned back, as slight shudders crept down her legs. "Who.. are.. you..?" She mumbles.

[For Her]

Jangwa looked in the direction of the voice. Was that a lioness hiding in the high grass? Jangwa fell into a sloppy defense positure. "I am Jangwa. I don't want to fight. Well, I can't."

[mane6]

Rising from her lowered position, she looked him up and down, her curled tail lashing against her hind, as she turned to face him so he coulden`t see the mark on her shoulder. She was still quite lowered, still scared. "You.. can`t fight?" She says softly, tilting her head. "Whys that?" She says, questioning the male. "I guess.." She trails off slightly. "You should know my name.. Im Sakura." She says.

[For Her]

"No, I don't know who you are. I'm not from around here. And I can't fight because I'm... I depend on deserts. When I'm not in a desert I get sick." Jangwa said. The air was humid, way too humid for his taste.

[mane6]

"If you depend on deserts, then why are you out here?" She asks once more, her tail still lashing around behind her, occasionally hitting the blades of grass behind her. "Unless you were searching for food, i don`t see the point of being here, if you depend on deserts." She says.

[For Her]

"My spirit is bound to the desert, but my flesh still craves nutrition. I came here because food is plentiful. Are you some sort of known person? You expected me to know you." Jangwa said.

[mane6]

"Oh.. you must`ve took it the wrong way.. i trailed off a bit, i suggested that i would give you my name as you gave me yours... terribly sorry. Im.. just.. not ... too fond around.. well.. new.. people." She murmurs

[For Her]

"Sorry, I misunderstood you. But you are from around here, right?" Jangwa asked, looking up. His mane fell aside, so that his rose scar was showing.

[mane6]

"No.. im not. Im.. from somewhere, far away from here." She murmurs, the memories of the flames coming back to her. Her heart was pounding. She opened her mouth as if to scream, but nothing cameout. It seemed she was so caught up in mmemories, that she saw the whole thing happening again before her. Pupils shrunk, she stares ahead.

[For Her]

"Are you allright? You look... Scared?" Jangwa said. He looked suprised.

[mane6]

"..." She doesn't speak still deep within her mind, she saw a figure which wasn't actually there, a blue flame appearing in the corner of her eyes, as she walks backwards, tripping over, her blue marking glowing, the figure coming closer, until she snapped out of it, the flame fading. "I..m.... f..ine.." She mumbles.

[For Her]

"Right. That was not creepy at all." Jangwa said sarcastically. "You were looking at something. But there was nothing where you looked."

[mane6]

"S..sorry about that.." She mumbles, her ears pressed against her skull as if they were nailed there. "I-It was nothing." She mumbles, flicking her tail, she diden`t wish to speak about it.

[For Her]

"Whatever you say. 'Tis just... I have met lions who had lost someone. You have the same look in your eyes." Jangwa said, his face turning serious.

[mane6]

"I-I Lost Them- My family, To A Fire. They told me to run... and.. they- I could hear their screams as I ran.." She barely gets the words out of her mouth, a lonely look in her eyes. "Just then.. I saw a figure.. come towards me with a burning stick, I'd never seen him before.." She whispers.

[For Her]

"It's okay. I'm here. I also haven't got a living family. I never met my father. My mother died when I was a cub. I was raised by a rogue. Life sucks sometimes." Jangwa thought back. His life had given him many scars, in the flesh and the soul.

[mane6]

"Indeed, it does." She says, her voice a little quiter than her normal voice. "Do you mind if I travel with you? I hate being alone.." She says, moving herself into a sitting position.

[For Her]

"Yes, you can travel with me. I could use some real company. Prevents you from going insane." Jangwa said, the last sentence ment as a joke.

[mane6]

"Really? That would be really helpful for me." She says, smiling slightly, the happy expression creeping upon the sides of her cream muzzle. She chuckles lightly. "We`re all a little insane, we just need something to bring it out." She says, trying to put on a mocking serious expression, and her tone deep.

[For Her]

"I'm not just a little insane. " Jangwa said and laughed.
