Welcome to Gaia! ::

Behrooz'Jamsheed did not like being out on his own. His pride had scattered and he no longer had his brothers or his parents to keep him company. It was not as if he needed defending or anything, he was big male and quite capable in a fight, but he did not like being alone. His hybrid parents had always been so loving and caring. He missed that. He also missed roughhousing with his brothers, and he had never even gotten to go get himself his first banu, not that banus really interested him much. Other than the use for having cubs, he really didn't look at females.

The big male had never really thought about what he was going to do if he did get a banu. He would have had to have cubs, if he could produce them, but he wasn't sure he could even think about more than one banu or anything. Of course he thought he was a hybrid, so the idea of more than one banu would have depended on being able to have cubs. Behrooz'Jamsheed kicked a rock as he walked. The worst part of being without family was the fact that all these rogues were weird. The matter of species had never been discussed in the family, but others had said what his parents were, and the male knew he had to be the same.

Since he had come into contact with the rogues he'd been addressed as a lion more than once, and when he tried to correct anyone, they laughed at him. Behrooz'Jamsheed had actually been called crazy for insisting he was not a lion but a hybrid. Even the actual lions didn't seem to know their own kind from a hybrid, really! The red and white male flopped onto a rock to rest and watched around him, almost missing the leopon approaching. When he spotted the other, he stayed very still and waited until the leopon was passing below his rock perch, and touched him lightly with a paw on the tail.

Behrooz'Jamsheed had never really eyed another like he was this leopon right now. He had never seen such a handsome creature, and the mere sight of the other was giving him a thrill of excitement and energy. That handsome maroon coat, those lovely blue spots, white accent markings.... and those eyes, so deeply colored and calm. The big lion poked at the leopon's tail a bit more, batting at it playfully. "I was simply traveling, and stopped for a rest." He was enjoying looking at this other creature very much.

"I do not often see other hybrids around... this pride of yours likes hybrids?" The U'W had tolerated hybrids, but unless they could have cubs, they were basically ignored by the majority. It would be a nice change to have a home that appreciated his kind, right? Very much so. He wanted to feel loved again like had with his family, accepted and cherished for what he was, no matter the ability to have cubs or not.

"My name is Behrooz'Jamsheed. My family called me Behrooz or Beh. It is a pleasure to meet you, Kuimba." The red and white lion's eyes twinkled with mischief as he debated if he wanted to bat the other's tail again. He felt like a cub right now, rearing to play to use all the energy that had flooded his system. His tiredness seemed to have vanished at the sight of the leopon's face. And something in him wanted to get the calm, seriousness to give way to a smile and playful cheer.
