 So much had changed over the last few moon turns. The pride had been thrown into near chaos by the murders, then the drama that had happened during the coronation. Manyara breathed out as she walked down the path, trying to erase the frown that crossed her features. It wasn't that those things that particularly brothered her, though she could understand the view point of the banished prince.
No it was what the new king did that bothered her more than anything. A wrinkle creased her brow as she thought again about the royal guards. Her footsteps were quiet upon the path. The Great Lion taught that slave did not have his protection and thus had to share in the pride's overall protection. So making the slaves guards for the royals, who were in fact protecting the slaves spiritually, made no sense to the young lioness. Perhaps to some it made perfect sense. The guard guarding the guard and all that. Manyara shook her head and sighed. She glanced up at the moon as she paused on the path. They worshiped the eye of the Great Lion yes, but did it really mean they had to be completely under his gaze?

 Jabari did really come out this late but it was hot and he wanted some air. He made sure nobody was around buy turning around twice to check if any was around. Nope he was safe. Jabari was a huge scary cat. Everything scare him. He act more like a scare slave then a noble Lord that he was. No he spoke with a stutter and a weak timid voice. Knowing this he didn't really talk that much. He never like being out the den to much because he thought that something would come and get him. So why would he come out this late just because he was hot....no it was hot and he had to go pee. Yes that was the real reason behind all of this. For shame if anyone would saw him use the restroom. No he would be so embarrasses to ever show his self.
So he ran trowed the closes tree and relive his self. Walking out behind the tree after he did his thing, he saw a female. With that he let out a girly squeal and jump up.

Znaruto Remember, Shangyue ruled that the pride be active only at night. wink
She hesitated but didn't see anything wrong with the male. Finally she had to ask. "Excuse me. Are you alright?" It seemed to be odd asking a male why he screamed. Manyara politely didn't comment on his scream though. She was after all only a slave.

Jabari look around acting like she was talking to him then look down and said "Y-yes. I'm a-alright." He look up at her for a quick second then down again. This was no way a lord should act but he could not help it. This was just the way he was. He wish he could get better at talking to other but it most likely that he would be like this his whole life.
"H-how are you?" He said shyly. He wanted to get as far away from the idea of him screaming in front of her. He didn't know if she was a Lady or not but if she was, then this would be even more embarrassing. What to do? What to do? He look up at her again then back down his eyes went.magnadearel OH OOPS! Well he still doesn't like leaving the den anyways so it is all good.

It was strange that he'd screamed, but he said he was alright. Manyara was willing to take him at his word. Perhaps he hadn't expected anyone to be in the area, so seeing her may have startled him more than it should. The red lioness remained calm and settled herself down to the side of the path. She flicked her tail over her front paws.
"Well enough I suppose." She watched him carefully. He was not acting as she'd come to expect a member of the pride to act. It was almost as if he was... nervous? "I'm only a low class but I worry about those who might try to jump themselves up into the royal guard rank." Manyara feared what the Great Lion might do to them for trying to be above their station.

Jabari sat down across from her. He was feeling a little bit better around her. She seem nice and calm. He like that. Yes he like that very much. He sigh and try to calm down. Such a nervous guy he was, He was oka with it. It was just how he was.
He look at her and nodded " W-well i'm a lord....but d-don't feel alarm. I-i'm not mean to lower class. Umm well I have really no say about the royal guard. W-when i was born t-they where here, but i h-have heard things that it u-use to not be that way. I-is this true. I d-don't know much about the p-politic. I t-try to stay a-away from them." He said to her

Manyara waited with patience. As she sat the lioness projected calm in all her demeanor. If she was any judge he could use a healthy dose of calm. She was almost startled by his admittance of his rank. It was not what she would have expected. Maybe it was because he was still young.
She smiled and spoke softly, "I do not think I need to fear." Not that she had been ill-treated by any of the pride, except maybe her mother. Ah now this was interesting. Manyara debated a moment to gather her words. "Before the current ruler, a low class member preforms basic chores for the pride in return for spiritual protection from high class members."
"This new rank allows low class members with practically no spiritual protection to protect those of the highest class." She shook her head gently. "To me, that seems most folly." Manyara regarded him sympathetically. He seemed oftly shy. She'd make sure she took time to spend with him each night if he wanted company.

Jarbari felt calm with this lioness. He never really felt like that with any body but his family. He like that. It was peaceful talking to her. He wouldn't mine talking to her more.
He tiled his head as she talk about happen before he was born. He didn't understand why the new king would change that. " I d-didn't know that? How c-could he doing something l-like that with out the G-great lion blessing on them?" He was lost How would the slave protect them with out protection from the great lion. "I have to a-agree with you. B-but don't worry, I will p-protect you" He said with a soft smile. magnadearel Awww Jarbari. After this we going have rp them more. So Cute.

She thought she might be helping some. At least he didn't seem so jumpy now. Give him something else to think about. Manyara smiled and nodded. "Good questions. I admit I was just a cub when this happened."
The red lioness considered his question carefully. How could a king do this? "Well, my guess is that his word is law. Particularly now. So anything he says goes unless the Great Lion steps in somehow." She sadly hadn't seen any of that. Manyara wondered if that was his reason for nerves. There had been a time of fear within the pride; it would be reasonable that it still lingered with Shangyue on the throne. As a cub she'd faintly understood that there had been killings within the pride, though she didn't understand what that meant until much later.
"Thank you...." She paused and blinked. They had given their ranks but not their names! "Oh dear how silly of me. I'm Manyara. What's your name?" It was so sweet of the young male to offer his protection. "I will help you whenever I can." It was her duties as a slave after all.
