[JRP] The cold desert [Onuris x Gunju]

[I Lady Kiya I]

Gunju was doing his rounds as normal, enjoying the coldness of the day. The sky was full of clouds, and was an excellent feeling. They weren't dark and unwelcoming clouds, but soft gray ones that seemed to say 'Welcome'. Of course that was just something Gunju thought of. To other's, he was sure it meant different things.

The boarder of the pride seemed rather calm as normal, hardly anything happened. Some would say it was quite boring to be out and about sometimes, which he couldn't agree more. Though, a job was a job. He had to do what he had to do. Who knows who was gonna stumble upon the land and find themselves lost.

With that thought, Gunju had looked up and saw a lion in the distance. It was hard to say if he was part of the pride at first. He moved towards him without hesitation. A smile upon his face, and happy to greet anyone who happened to cross the lands. It was, after all, a paradise in it's own little way. Maybe not one most would find rather so, but it was safe and nice.

"Hello!" he called out, not trying to startle the other and wanted to make sure the lion knew he was coming. It could be quite easy sometimes, sneaking up on those in these lands. Snow can be quite distracting to those who hadn't ever been around it.

He had know those who hadn't seen snow before, so he knew exactly how it was. Especially, since he too had been in the same kind of situation. He smiled at the other with a kind smile. "It's Snow." he said with a nod. "These are the Schnee la Neige'milima Lands." He said with another nod. He was kind and had nothing but kindness to offer the other as he stopped close by. "these lands are protected by the goddess of winter." She was the reason why it was so snowy all year around.

To him, it was her protection of the snow that kept them safe. "It's a sanctuary for those who need it." He wasn't worried about the other since he felt that only those who were kind and deserving could find the pride boarder. "I know where you can find some warmth and get in out of the snow if you need." He said with a smile on his face. "We have caves where there are some hot springs that keep the place pretty warm."

It took a while to get use to the cold for most, for Gunju not as much. He was fat, and then his fur was thick, so it made for good for keeping him warm. "The Snow takes some time to get use to, but once you do this place is amazing."

Gunju nodded at him. "I was in a similar situation, myself!" He said as he nodded his head towards the direction he had come. "It's back this way, and we're always happy to help a friendly fellow in need." He said with a nod. "We have plenty to offer you while you're staying." He wanted the other to feel at home while staying, however long that may be.

"I actually come from a pride almost completely opposite from this." He said now with a chuckle, trying to keep some sort of conversation going. The more he could distract the other from the cold, the better. Before long they'd be in the caves and warming up. It had started to snow again, but the snow flakes were small and gentle. They could hardly be noticed unless one really strained an eye to see.

Gunju waited for the other to take the hint before moving towards the direction they needed to go back to the caves. It wasn't too far, but was far enough that Gunju hoped the other could handle.

"No problem!" He said with a nod and started to lead the way. "I also came from a desert." He said with a chuckle. He had thought about those times a lot lately, and now it was kinda silly how he ran into someone from the same type of background in a sense. He didn't want to ask what desert or pride the male had come from, it would be a long shot that they came from the same pride. Then again, who knew?

"It's not too bad once you get use to it, honestly." He said again with a nod "It's almost like night time in the desert, but with some cold wet stuff added." He chuckled. Well, perhaps it seemed more cold here than a desert night, but he couldn't really remember as well as he would have liked.

He nodded mostly to himself, as he was looking forward as they move ahead as he listened to the lion next to him. "My family is all from there, we traveled about for a while and found ourselves here." He said as he recalled how they came to this place. "It was one extreme to another, but it was a nice change."

"Oh! I was born in that pride." He was surprised! Though he wasn't sure if he should be all that surprised. "I was pretty young too, not that young to not remember such a time." He said with a though. He had grown a bit older, but he wouldn't dare say he was an old man. Not that his kids wouldn't call him such, as that was what they did from time to time.

"Hopefully you can find a place much like it then." He kinda hoped it was Schnee that the other was interested in. Life here was perfect, and he liked to see new faces. Especially those of the pride he had once called home. "I always think the snow as cold sand." Even though it felt nothing like sand, but it did kinda look like it from a distance... Apart it being pure white...

"Yeah, it's the only way I can really explain it." He chuckled at the silly idea, but hey, it worked really well. "Yeah, you're the first I have met since the pride split up." he said, it was a sad thought, but what could you do? He sighed and kept moving. "We're almost there." He said as he nodded towards the mountain coming into view.

"Just up that way, If you keep going there you'll find the cave." He told the other so he could find it safely. "I must get back to my guard duties anyways." he said with a chuckle. "You never know who will come across the pride boarders." He laughed at the thought as the other had proved that. He shook his head at his own inner thoughts.
