It had been about a month since Bozi had found himself in the rouge lands. A rather terrifying month it had been at that. The former slave was used to hunting and staying alive, so that wasn't the issue he was having: it was the fact that he felt like he was being watched. Hunted, pursued by the demons that had once held him captive. They seemed to have disappeared like smoke on a windy day, though, and he hadn't seen hide nor hair of any one of them since that day he had woken up to find everyone gone. He had met a friendly cheetah that had stayed with him for a few days, but even she had needed to move on. Which was fine, Bozi understood, but he was alone and unsure of where to go or what to do. He needed to find a pride, that much was certain. He'd never survive out here on his own. He just didn't know what pride he should look for, or where to even set his paws to start his journey.
He traveled very little during the day, saving hunting and moving around for the night so he could have some cover. It was nearly daybreak and he needed to find somewhere to hunker down for the daylight hours, both to escape the heat and to remain unseen. He was having some trouble, though. The area of the rouge lands he was in was very flat with only trees here and there for shade. Perhaps he could try to climb up into a tree?
Bozi paused under one and sized it up, but after trying to reach the first branch it was clear he wouldn't be able to. Glancing around nervously, he hunkered down by the tree trunk, hoping it would be enough for him to hide by.

Kahkushan had been separated from her group for a while now. She had now since gone her own way, helping those she came across, never accepting anything in return. Eventually she knew she would run into her party again, but for now she wanted to continue being the best that she could be. Helping those too weak to protect themselves was just one of the task she knew she could do well.
She couldn't bare watching someone struggle by themselves. It just wasn't in her nature. She had been told time after time that she was too kind hearted, that someone would use her. However Kahkushan was careful not to let herself get tricked. She knew in this world there were conman who would trick naïve warriors to do their dirty work. She would never let that happen to her.
As she walked, she spotted some trees. Her steps became quicker and louder. She could climb up one and get a good look around the area. Perhaps there was a pride near by? Or a group of rogues.
With her mind made up, she started running toward the trees, before springing forward jumping at the trees. Her claws dug into the tree as she started to climb up it. She stopped when she reached one of the lower branches. Proud of herself, she stopped and looked around. The sun rise was truly a wonder to see, she thought as she admired it.

As the sun rose a bit more, Bozi hunkered down at the base of the tree. The shadows and the pale colors of the sky made him blend in nicely, but he knew his cover would be blown once the sun was completely up. The pale blues and purples of the morning would give way to harsh reds and yellows, and then he'd be easy to pick out among all the brown and yellow on the plains. As it was, though, he apparently was completely missed by the lioness that decided to climb the tree he was hiding under.
Bozi nearly wet the ground beneath him as the dragon-like female came charging at him, and he covered his head with his paws, expecting an attack. She was pale in color, but that didn't mean she wasn't out for blood. When the tree shook, though, he lifted his head and looked up, relieved and scared at the same time. She could climb trees? Well..jump up into them anyway. Far better than his attempts.
He wasn't sure if he should make himself known or not. Should he just stay silent and hope she didn't see him? Or should he make a noise to alert her to the fact that she wasn't alone? Both could end badly.
"U-um," he said weakly, curling even tighter on himself. "Excuse me, mistress, I...I just...wanted to let you know I was here and...I'm sorry, I don't mean any harm, I just didn't want to startle you."

Bozi kept his eyes on the ground as the lioness spoke up. He could practically feel the tension in the air as she realized he was there, but thankfully there were no claws and teeth of rage that fell down upon him as he was used to. When the lioness did jump down he quickly stared at his paws, not wanting to make her upset.
"I'm not that good at climbing, mistress," he said in barely above a whisper. He swallowed thickly as he hesitantly looked up, trying to remind himself that this wasn't his old pride. This was the rouge lands, and this female wasn't being aggressive, and she was the 'proper' coloration to not want to harm him...not that that mattered out here, of course.
"I'm Bozi,' he said quietly. "It's very nice to meet you. And I'm sorry for ruining your moment with the sunset." He let out a slow breath, trying to calm himself, but it wasn't helping too much.

"Forgive me," Bozi said weakly, bobbing his head in a little bow out of habit. He had been raised to respect others and it was hard to break, considering he'd lived the life of a slave for years on end. He knew this wasn't how 'normal' lions acted out here in the rouge lands, and he really was trying to get out of the rut of bowing and adding titles and avoiding eye contact.
The question gave him hope to try again. She wasn't walking away or scorning him for his cowering. This was his second chance. Before he spoke he lifted his head to make eye contact with the rainbow female, trembling slightly but keeping his eyes on hers. "I'm alone, yes," he said quietly. "The pride I belonged to was dissolved not too long ago and I don't....I'm not sure where I'm going, but I can't stay there."
Somewhere would be nice...perhaps she knew of a pride that might take him in. "Could...I mean, do you know of any place nearby that accepts rouges? Preferably one that is not...evil?" He wouldn't call the demons evil, it was just how they were, but he knew there were prides that others looked upon as such, and that his pride certainly could have been one of them. He wanted somewhere nice and relaxing to live, even if he was once again a slave.
