To say the least, Imarogbe was in a state of euphoria and bewildered excitement. With his newfound Beybanu at his side, Ima walked briskly but steadily in the direction that he knew his home was located. He could smell it. The trees that surrounded them leaned slightly with the wind, but Ima knew that they wouldn't fall.
Glancing at K'visha, he said chuckling, "When I was small, I used to think that the trees would fall over on me when it was windy like this." He couldn't believe that he was finally going home and would get to see his family again. Expressing this to K'visha, he spoke wistfully,"I can't wait for you to meet my family, they're not too strange."
Aside from being able to return home, Ima was also quite astounded that he managed to find the beautiful lioness next to him, and that she was the reason that he was now able to go back. Sometimes, he caught himself simply staring at her with a thoughtful smile on his face.

"Yes, but there are a lot of them. My mother has brothers and sisters, my father has brothers and sisters, and I have a MILLION cousins," he said dramatically, exaggerating the size of his already big family in his excitement to see them. "I wonder if any of my brothers are back yet," he wondered aloud to her, "Harith probably is, he's the lazy one."
Ima's steps increased as the smell of the lake became stronger and stronger. Honestly, he has thought that he would remain out in the rogue well into his maturity. He didn't however factor in how homesick that he would get after a while.
The roguelands had been an adventure that would never forget, and he would probably go back at some point in his life. For now though, he was perfectly content walking across what he instinctually knew was the border of the pride. He was home.
"We're here."

ileatea It's cool, I am usually the slow one
Laughing at the thought of his brother being away from home for any length of time, he replied,"He is lazy in the sense that, if it were up to him, he would do nothing but lounge around at home all day. He always prefered to be at home. Harith would definitely be the one to come home first." He was rambling, he realized, in his excitement. At this realization, he tried to wrangle himself and not make a complete spectacle in front of his new Beybanu. Ima wanted to give her a good first impression after all.
Ima's paws slowed a bit, and he smiled. I'm home,' he thought once more to himself as they got closer and closer inland. Trying not to rush them, he led K'visha through the trees and finally broke out into the sunlight. Standing still, he gazed at the lake surrounded by green gold grass. Among the scattered trees, he could see a few of the resident mulling about.
"It is," he whispered in response. Staring at the lands that he was raised on filled him with some emotion that he couldn't describe. Turning to his side, he watched his mate. "I'm happy you came with me," he said sincerely,"I hope that you will like it here."

Imarogbe felt a rush of relief as K'visha revealed that she liked it. He had never felt so self-concious before. Gradually, he lead them down to the lake, smiling at those he passed. When they reached the edge, Ima ducked his head down and lapped up some of the cool water.
"A lot of people come here during the day," he said, noting those nearby. Thinking of where to take her next, he had to put a halt to some of his excitment. If he'd had his way, he would wisk his Beybanu to his family immediately to meet them, but he knew that it would be better if he waited. He needed to give K'visha a chance to rest. So, instead he lead her through the lands to the grassy areas where many of the family dens where located.
"Well, I was essentially kicked out of my parents' home when I left on my quest, and this is the first time I've been back, so," at this he looked into her eyes,"We can choose a den together." Looking back out to the fields, searching, begore he indicated a patch of trees, "There are empty dens over there, and the trees make for good shade on hot days. What do you think?"

Ima began to see the fatigue in his beybanu's movements, and he was glad that he decided to go ahead and rest for the remainder of the day. Besides, that would give them more time to be relatively alone and adjust to a new life before his family members would undoubtedly cause that time to be demolished. Gradually making their way over to the uninhabited dens. He made his way from one to the next, carefully inspecting the potential of each one for their new home.
The dens were spaced apart enough so that families that resided next to each other wouldn't bother one another. There weren't very many in this area, so their choice wasn't a particularly hard one, it just seemed that way to Ima. It was such a big and exciting life step for him. At this very moment, he was choosing a den with his beybanu! At that thought, his excitement grew more, but this time it simply settled into blissful delight.
Eventually, he walked into one den in particular that was a little more offset than the others, and had a magnificent umbrella thorn tree growing a few feet from the entrance. Peeking his head out, he called, "K'visha! Come tell me what you think of this one," he spoke, indicating the den he was standing in. He hoped that she liked it.
