Bai Bo was feeling more thoughtful than sad that day, having spent a good deal of time mulling over his last conversation with the Lady Ming. It had led him to question things. Things about himself. About the past and the future and what place lay for him in this pride? He'd come here with high ambitions but had, so far, succeeded in very little. But, more than anything, he wanted this to work. He wanted to be a success and he wasn't getting any younger. Change. Change could be bad or it could be good. He'd decided that, this time, he'd get change to work for him. To make him better and stronger.
He would not let it beat him.
In any case, that day he'd set out with the sole purpose of tracking down his newest friend. Lady Ming had been an intelligent female and it seemed like such a long time he'd been in the company of one such as her. One wise and calm and strong.
The lean, white lion, then, found himself picking his way carefully through the terrain, pausing now and again to test the air for her scent. So far there had been no sign, but soon his search would prove to be fruitful. Perhaps fifteen minutes later, her pale form came into view and - not one to declare his presence loudly - he merely strode towards her. He was an athletic lion, not bulky or stocky as some. His mane held a wispy quality to it and, as he moved, it lifted in the breeze.

"They grow much quicker than we realize," she commented thoughtfully. She had grandchildren now, though she had only properly met her heiress. It was a strange concept but she had had her children young, much younger than wanted or intended. "Despite what you may think, or they may tell you. Children always need their parent." She would not specify mother or father, to do so would be damning to herself.
A single mother from day one and she would not have wanted it any other way.
"I am honored to have your company," she told him offering him a sincere smile. "Things are rough, but manageable. There is much to plan for," she admitted, a sigh leaving her maw. "Sida is to be married soon, then I will begin the preparations to step down."
Bai Bo was the first lion she told, outside of the empress.

"Love is never an easy trail to follow. From what you say, the pair of them will get there eventually."
And at Lady Ming's sigh, Yen Ha could not help but laugh. "Then that makes two of us, my lady. I thought I had it once but it seemed to slip away as easily and quickly as a spring breeze. As far as I'm aware, my children have not found partners yet, either."
Perhaps it ran in his family, this unlucky business regarding love.
But no, that was not true. He knew of others in his family who were lucky. His older sister one of them.
Still, right now, with his friend, Yen Ha believed he could be quite content. Who needed love, anyway?
