Gold eyes looked around the pride he had grown to embrace fully. He loved everything about it made him feel so much at home. He noticed the sultan coming his way. He smirked a little bowing humbly to the male. He then stood proud beside him he looked to the slighlty smaller male as he took a deep breath before he looked to the female that where romaning about the pride as he caught sight of his own female before looking back to the male curiously.
"Was there something that you need my sultan?" He asked giving the male the utmost respect. He turned to look at the male giving him his full attention.
Aali was proud of his accomplishments thus far, proud of the pride and the Pads within. Yet there was something that lingered, he still looked into the past of the pride and saw a failure. They had failed to properly equip their past males. They had sent out their youth carelessly never realizing the dangers they might face. Many had never returned, and Aali did not want the young males of this generation to vanish from the prides future. This fear had lingered with him for some time, and quietly he was trying to find a solution.
Damu provided an excellent solution, well not a solution perhaps, but a step in the right direction. The large male had come from far away, from a pride full of fierce warriors who knew how to survive. He was the perfect candidate to take their young males and help mold them into survivors.
"Yes actually, I wanted to have a chat with you." He smiled up a bit at the larger male.

"Ohh?" He said looking to the male curiously as he stretched out a momment before letting out a tired loud yawn. "An what is it that I may help you with?" He said as he laid out on the ground looking to the male curiously. He knew there might be a time when his history might come into play the way the male was coming to him now with all the young males of the pride getting close to their day of leaving only coming closer and closer.
"You've settled into the pride quite nicely Damu, you patrol regularly, and your Banu is well behaved. Your quite an asset to, but I was hoping I could ask an additional favor of you. You have no sons in the pride of your own yet, but someday perhaps you will...and someday their time will come to leave and capture a female of their own. It's a proud day for many fathers, and even prouder when their sons return. Yet, that pride, that joy can be overshadowed...because sometimes a son never returns." He frowned and sighed softly.
"That was how it always was, but that is not how I wish it to be any longer. I want to equip the young males of our pride with more, with better chances of surviving the cruelties that the lands away from ours might throw at them. You can help me in this goal Damu, you have unique skills, battle skills that surpass those of the pride. If you could train our young males, you could give them an added edge...a better chance."

He looked to the male curiously as he stood up looking to the man curiously. He tilted his head as he looked back to the young males running about the pride. "It shall be done." He said with a nod as he turned to the male frowning softly.
"I do wish they all return." He said looking back to the pride once more.
"Kinda...hurts you know I left my own home and never returned." He said with a small laugh. "Makes me wounder if my own parents think of me but then I guess my mother would be to busy and my Father...well he never had time for me. Honestly I see my father being the male that taught me how to fight and it would be a honor to train the males in hopes to bring the home."
"I am glad you can call this place home now Damu, your a good Pad." Aali nodded and looked out seeing the younger males and females playing, forming friendships, bonds. So many ties that would change or grow stronger or weaker as adulthood came. Soon his precious little girls wouldn't be so little and they would need to be placed in the care of Pads. Soon his sons would be ready to leave the pride and return with females of their own.
"I worry day and night...my brothers children will be the first to go...his two boys. Each of them has a banu already...I wonder sometimes at night what those poor females will do, how long they'll have to wait and worry, wondering if they'll come back." He closed his eyes for a moment before shaking his head.
"But thats why I'm glad you can help...still I wish there was more we could do...I think and think..."

Damu looked to the male a moment before chuckling softly. "I'm sure I have the time I need to train them the basic's before they leave." He said as he looked to the sky. "There is always time to teach them even if all I can do it tell them things they need to know right before the leave. Assuming they are smart and listen." He said chuckling turning to the male.
"I'll be honored to do this for you my sultan." He said bowing his head to the male. "Shall I start with your brother son's first? Or any ones I may come across." He asked curiously. "I'm also not against teaching more then one at a time actually I would perfer it maybe then they will actually learn something being able to learn head on instead of being told what to do." He siad nodding a few times. "That is how I was taught."
"Teaching them in groups would probably be more effective yes, feel free to round up any you come across. Explain the importance of it to them, it's fair for them to know the world they will face has it's own dangers." He smiled wryly and looked at him again.
"You know...I'm curious Damu...are the females of your pride trained as the males?" He tilted his head wonderingly, he knew there were hard females out there, females who felt they belonged to no male. His first capture had been a kajira, he had been lucky to capture her, he could imagine how much harder it would be to face a well trained female.

He chuckled softly looking to the male. "Oh my sultan you have no idea." He said shaking his head. "They are trained and our females at times are more vicious then males." He said luaghing even more. "I remeber my first crush oh boy she gave me a run for my money." He siad shaking his head letting out another sigh.
"I thought she was going to be mine for ever and ever if I just showed her I was a man." He said taking a deep breath looking off to where Shula was usually found on a daily bases. "Oh boy did I find myself."
"More vicious?" He chuckled and shook his head, how strange, they ought to be put in their place. Still he wasn't one to disrespect the traditions of another pride, not when he expected respect for his own.
"Well you have a lovely banu now, I'm sure she will indeed be forever yours. You've proven an excellent pad, you ought to take on another banu."

He chuckled softly looking to the male. "I've thought about it but all the little ones here...I'd rather not law my paws on they are all lovely but to young for my blood." He said as he looked to his paws. "That and i sitll have my old pride ways I can see myself with anyone that doesn't have the right colors." He chuckled softly. "But believe my I have been looking."
"I've even gone to as far as looking when I am making my round when I make my rounds of watching the pride. there been a few female I had seen here any there." He said with a a small nod.
"Ahh yes you favor the colors of the fire, I can respect a Pad's taste. I know it's silly but our old stories of the royal colors have affected my tastes once or twice." He thought of Taja's lovely purple coat and wine colored eyes. Yet his own Sultana was silver, and yet she would always hold her position color or not.
"Indeed, yes I refrain from capturing any female who has not crossed our border. Within the territory they are fair game though." He chuckled.
