He...hadn't really wanted to accept that with his new position in society, there were also other responsibilities that he needed to attend to. Oh, without a doubt, it was exceptionally easy for him to take on a leadership role, and to guide others through the political mind fields that existed but when it came to more sensitive matters... Well, suffice to say that he had been ignoring some of those for as long as it was physically possible.
However, now that the lion had decided that it would be of benefit for him to stay, it was also fitting that he didn't leave the Bahari in a similar position that they had been before. In the tragic aftermath of the tsunami, they had been leaderless and as a consequence, exploited. No doubt his daughter had been doing what she thought was appropriate, but he couldn't help but feel that she simply hadn't been suited to the role.
Thus, it was with renewed awkwardness that the lion had come to the conclusion that he needed to ensure they did have an heir, and that heir was loved, respected and most of all, educated in the ways of the pride so that their decisions did not impact in such a negative fashion. This decision did pose a problem though, and that problem, was that he needed a mate.
He had given it much thought and based on his limited time he had accepted that romance (at this time) was not an option. Thus he had gone for a more 'political' choice. Whether or not she would accept was another matter entirely, but he had to try and maybe, just maybe, prepare himself to be smacked on the face by an affronted paw!

She wasn't difficult to find; like many of the Bahari she possessed a very distinct set of markings that made her light up like a beacon. He, quite literally, paled in comparison when put against many of the denizens. Suffice to say that his pale coat was definitely suited to snow bound slopes, but it seemed to blend in quite well with the rocks as well.
Thus, it wasn't long at all before he spotted the lioness, and gathering his 'courage', he drew nearer. He didn't make it difficult to hear or sense him, but he did present himself with a sense of purpose. He wasn't hear for general chit chat, though he supposed he should ease in to the conversation he wished to have as opposed to dropping in on her head like an anvil.
"Neoni'linga," he murmured in greeting. "How are you this morning?"

The bright blue lioness chuckled at Ram's response. Although he may have doubted it, she was being nothing but genuine when she said that she would like whatever he likes. After all, she was more interested in the sentiment and meaning behind the shell than she was the shell itself. The fact that he was taking the time to look for one that was just right made her really happy.
Neoni'liga remained where she was stood, only following Ram with her eyes. When he brought up the next topic of conversation, she blinked, before gently nodding her head. "You did what you thought was best, just like Zephyranthes." She smiled warmly. "If I could've seen back then where your actions would bring us, I would've forgiven you a lot sooner."
It wasn't a surprising admission, the fact that it had taken her some time to get over what happened. It truly was all in the past now, and both Prides were doing well as a result. "You are a great leader Ram. I could never not forgive you, no matter what you choose to do."
