![User Image](https://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l546/Lolitspaws/Breedables/Shadows of Africa/Certs/Kitwa1.jpg) One sniff of the air told him today was the day. A day that didn't come all too often, but when it did it nearly drove him insane. The anxiety of knowing what today meant, and the inevitable defeat that followed it. Well at times it became far too much for him to bare. But in his heart he knew it was what he had to do, if he ever wanted to be happy. He had complete faith in the ability of his pride's matchmakers and if this is what they told him to do, he was going to do.
Pacing forward, the only indicator he had of his location was the soil. It was becoming more dry and far less stiff, he could feel the prints his paws were leaving behind. He was here, exactly where the matchmakers said she would be. Only she never was. Mlinzi sighed, inhaling a large breath of fresh air, hoping to catch the scent of his perfect match in the air. But for him, there was nothing, nothing but the scent of incoming rain. Perfect, another evening f waiting for no one in the pouring rain.
Plopping down into the rich loose soil, he frowned to himself. There was no one here, as always. As there had been the past six times he had been here. But he still held onto hope, hope that one day the seer's vision would come true.

He had been there for what seemed like hours! But in reality had been merely one hour tops. His heart was aching, he just wanted this to happen. The longer his heart lingered like this, the longer he would be alone. Both his best friend, and his 'brother' had already caught the love bug and yet here he sat, still waiting for his dream girl. Mlinzi inhaled a deep breath intending to let it out in a long harsh sigh. But something caught his nose off guard. He knew this area like the back of his paw, and something in that whiff of air ... it was different. He paused, nearly forgetting to even breathe, until he finally took another deep breath. There it was again! Though he couldn't identify it, he knew what it had to be! No one, and he really meant no one, came out this far for anything. It had to be her, HAD TO BE. Pulling himself to his feet, he attempted to follow the scent, hoping his own wouldn't chase his would be suitor away. Should he speak? No that would startle her! Should he lurk in the shadows and hope not to seem creepy?! No that wasn't going to work either! But before he could even manage to figure out a proper way to greet her, fate stepped in yet again. This time in a not so comfortable way. It happened in a flash, and it took him quite a few minutes to catch on. The ground literally just disappeared from under him. Causing the poor frail lion to plummet into a dried up riverbed, leaving him both bruised and completely lost. He knew what he had to do, he just had to hope she could both hear him - and be kind enough to come to his aid. Wincing his eyes closed, he bellowed a roar, hoping with all his might that it was strong enough to reach her ears.

Mlinzi's head jerked in the direction of her voice, his ears perked to their fullest. Her words were calm, and she seemed to be OK with the idea of helping him. He let out a large sigh, as he tried to mentally evaluate his injuries. "Y-Yeah, but its nothing I can't handle. Bumps and bruises ... things that come with the job. But I can't see - but that's not from my fall. I've always been unable to see..." OK, now he was just rambling. He had to pull himself together, or else she was just going to think he was crazy! Frustrated he began to pad his feet along the unfamiliar ground, hoping to find something that could help him. "My - My name is Pumbaa'Mlinzi, i'm an apothecary in this pride's lands. Please, if you help me, perhaps there is some way I could return the favor?"

Mlinzi's heart felt like it was breaking into tiny pieces with each passing second. He knew it was her, the one he'd been searching for. But of all the times he'd dreamed of her, he'd never imagined she would be so cautious in helping him. It felt like an eternity each time she went silent, he feared she would simply walk away and leave him to rot. But then she spoke up once again, the soft gentle voice, almost a whisper. "Yes, i've been blind since I was a cub. Normally I am capable of guiding myself around and fending for myself, but I fell into this pit." His voice began to crack as he explained his horrid luck. There had to be some way he could grab her attention, someway that he could get her to stay. "I can't get myself out, I don't even know where I am right now. But you do, please i'm begging you with everything I have..." His pleading began to become more and more pathetic as he pleaded with the lioness. He didn't even know her name, yet he yearned to be close to her. "Yes, if you help me, there must be something I can do for you. Some way I can repay you for your assistance. I'm an apothecary, and a fine one at that. If you're sick or injured .. I can heal you. I can even hunt for you!" Mlinzi paused a moment, no he didn't want to lie to her. "Well I can't hunt, but I can get you food if you'd like. Anything at all, just name it."

Mlinzi allowed the breath he'd been holding in to be released as she explained the depth of the hole to him. At least it would be easy for her to help him get out of it. At first he hadn't realized that she was actually coming down to help him, he really thought she was just going to slip away. But sure enough, the tiny padding of her feet could be heard climbing down the hole he was stuck in. Soon he could feel her presence beside him and it caused the fur on the back of his neck to stand on end. He couldn't believe how close she was, she was literally right next to him! His heart began to beat crazily inside his chest, and he had to remember to breathe. "OK, I understand." He mumbled, bracing himself for the press of her fur against his own. As she did so, he tried his best to remain calm, but his heart only went that much crazier. He could only hope she wasn't able to feel the blood rushing throughout his veins. At her simple command Mlinzi began to move his feet, slowly, just as she had instructed. "Well if you think of anything at all ... please don't hesitate to ask. I may useless at the moment, but I have quite the reach within my pride." He had of course heard her stomach growl, but with her hesitance to help him he wasn't sure forcing her to accept food was a good idea. A steps more and it felt as though the two were really making progress in getting out of the hole. "Yes, I am a part of the pride who's borders we are within. But nothing to fear, we are a very peaceful group." Nodding his head gently, he allowed a little of his own weight to lean against her's. Just to feel the comfort of her body next to his. "As I said before, i'm a healer for the pride. Though I spend most of my free time here, mostly searching for herbs and other things I can use for remedies. That's how I ended up down here in the first place."

Mlinzi could feel the tension between them, probably far more than the female herself was. He vowed to do his best to ease that tension, though at the moment he wasn't sure what to do. She was very quiet, and possibly a bit fearful of him despite his many attempts to prove otherwise. As he felt her move away, a sadness grew in his chest. Though the moment had been fleeting, he'd enjoyed it quite a bit. It wasn't until she spoke up again, the Mlinzi was able to snap out of his own trapped thoughts. So she was hungry ... and most definitely unsure of him. Mlinzi inhaled a deep breath before patting the ground to reassess his exact location. It only took a few moments before he was comfortable once again. "Well then my dear, shall we get you some food? Perhaps after you've gotten a full belly we can better acquaint ourselves." It was at that point, that he finally realized he'd never learned her name. But he wasn't worried. He was determined to make this work, one way or another. Yin-Bug End? Totally want to start another one with these two. Possibly after Mlinzi acquires her some dinner <3~
