The black lioness had left Adi to himself for a while. He had to do his training thing and she couldn't annoy him all the time, just because she got bored! She needed things to entertain her and right now that meant wandering. Adi was great at showing her around but she had met hardly anyone. Three males, one of which had been an old childhood friend. Maybe he was around somewhere? She wasn't sure, he had smelt of others so she knew there must be some around somewhere, it was just, well, finding them. They didn't seem to be about when ever she looked for anyone. Didn't stop her though. She lowered her head to the ground and had a sniff, there were scents that she didn't recognise. She looked up and around again, so many ways to go. She still wasn't sure of the boundaries of the lands, maybe these were rogues she could smell? She wanted to find out, either way. Jumping up onto a near by rock she looked around a little. Her brown eyes looking from one way to another. She never looked behind her though, for some reason in her mind lions wouldn't creep up behind you. She was just too content with her life to even contemplate the possibility of anything bad happening in this wonderful place. Her home.

Back in the Ela lands... back home. Nyota took a deep breath of the air and somehow it seemed sweeter to him than where they'd been. Then again, that could easily be the truth--salt hung in the air near the sea, after all. He shook his mane, the reminder of salt bringing back the ever present itch of it that he'd been trying to ignore. The wolf clan had permission to make the trip to the sea-side, of course, but he doubted he'd be going there too often. Though he wanted to see his daughter (of course he did!) the sea bothered him. Too cold, too rough, and too salty, by the stars! He'd probably have salt in his fur another moon or two from that trip alone--it didn't help that his mate had thought it hilarious to tump him into the water several times before they'd begun the journey back.
As annoyed as he'd been at that, the annoyance was ever tempered by the burden of that bothersome love he carried for the innocent-minded little Ela.
Sometimes it was a chore to be in love. Still, he wasn't sure what he'd do without the white lioness; probably sulk on the beach. He wouldn't have left Misae, if he hadn't had a place to go himself... no matter how much he hated the thought of leaving her on that beach with her "mate." The very thought of Hadithi still left a bad taste in Nyota's mouth and he tried not to roll his eyes. A daughter of his (his only daughter, for that matter!) left with such a blundering idiot! Well, at least Nyota had taught her how to hunt properly, he knew that way she'd never go unfed.
Perhaps one day she'd be sick of him and come home. The back of his mind, the truth-loving, rational part of him that usually had precedent, whispered to his more emotional half that she was in love as well. The male was still rebelling against this idea, however, and so he shoved it off once again and continued along his way.
Tsi had gone off with Taika to do... whatever it was that two female creatures went off to do together. He had too much respect for the both of them to assume they'd be doing such inane things as gossiping or making themselves "pretty" (not that Tsi had to try!) but the mind of a woman was truly lost on him. So he'd found himself alone in his newfound homeland, wandering about and getting himself acquainted with what there was here....
Which didn't really seem to be much. He hadn't even run into another Ela--
Of course that thought brought a dark lioness blundering right past him and up onto a rock nearby. Nyota's eyes widened in some surprise at being nearly hit, but thanks to his camouflage colouring, he likely hadn't even been seen back in the bushes as he was. Nyota's eye ridges raised a little in amusement. She seemed to be looking for something, maybe even she was playing at hunting, but hadn't a thought to look at her back; not even her ears swivled to make sure there was nothing sneaking up behind her.
Not that prey had any mind of getting "one up" on a lioness, for where there was one there were usually others... but there were some cape buffalo out there the idea had occasionally crossed. Maybe it was the teaching position he'd filled with his daughter that made him do it, or perhaps it was merely a sadistic nature that caused this turn of events, but before he truly knew what he was doing, the male had crouched down upon the ground and begun to creep up behind the female.
Later, he would blame it on his mate's playful nature that had turned to brainwash him.
His back legs bunched beneath him, coiling up their strength for a moment before leaping towards the lioness. He wasn't about to hurt her, of course, but a playful 'pinning' didn't, at the moment, seem untoward. He'd reconsider after the course. "Gotcha!"

The last thing she would have ever eexpected was to be pounced by Adi but a complete stranger, well that confused her somewhat but she was happy to know that there were other playful lions about. It just confused her how she had never met them before!
"uggggh."
It took a while for her eyes to focus on the strange lion, he didn't look like anyone she had ever seen before.
"Who are you?" She was curious, after all Adi had mentioned that there weren't many Ela's about that he had seen. She knew there were more about because her old childhood friend had spoken about some others. Maybe this was one of them?
"I am Tailsin'Kivuli Kidudushi however you can just call me Tailsin." She thought she would at least introduce herself, even if she was pinned down. After all, he wasn't trying to kill her so was clearly friendly!
