"Oh, I am so going to regret this."

“Hm? And what is it you think you will regret, young Kivuli?” Rafiki asked, curious as to why the grey-furred lion was muttering such things.

[prince-kivuli]

"Having to carry all your medicinal herbs while we walk towards Pride Rock.... still don't believe this is the wisest course of action Rafiki yes I want to learn how to heal but this seems like using me as some pack animal." The teenage lion snarked with a knowing grin as he looked at Rafiki knowing the Mandrill meant well in having him assist in carrying these objects

[wisemandrill]

Rafiki laughed. “I could have carried them myself,” she pointed out. “They are not heavy, and my bakora staff makes for a good bindle when needed. But you are the one who made the offer to carry them in the first place. Besides, it is good practice if you wish to be a healer, yourself.”

[prince-kivuli]

That makes the teenage lion's ears flick back yes he had indeed offered to carry them "I... good point Rafiki." He replied somewhat embarrassed sure he was attempting to make light of it all that was just who he was at times but the mandrill always knew how to point out things with a sigh the young lion glanced over at said bakora staff with some hesitance "In other words the stick is for more than whacking unruly lions... good to know." He adds with some intrigue along with his usual snark

[prince-kivuli]

Kivuli sighed out of boredom as he lazed around on a rock near the edge of the border between the Shadowlands and the Pridelands as well as the Outlands things were calmer than usual which either meant something bad in his father's opinion or it was to keep the Prince distracted from instigated a playful spar between the entire pride's cub population which was fair given the last time he thought with a huff while his tail flicked absently though he paused when his eyes caught movement and the silhouette of a younger lion. Jolting up and then jumping off the rock with a graceful landing Kivuli quickly started running towards said unknown figure front claws unsheathed and ready just in case until he came to a skidded stop as he stopped right in front of the teenage lion he couldn't ever forget the cub despite the years that had gone by "Bahati... what are you doing here little one?" He asked still somewhat surprised by the sight as he let his claws retract and he instantly nuzzled the teen's side fondly @prxnceofthepride

[prxnceofthepride]

The prince of the Pridelands was only about a year-and-a-half old, but he surely had enough sense to stay away from the Outlands; he wasn’t a grown lion yet, and he couldn’t fight off more than one hyena alone.

…nor an older, stronger lion.

Startled by the sound of paws pounding towards him, Bahati whirled to the side, gasping, and unsheathed his claws, baring his teeth warningly. Just because he wasn’t fully grown didn’t mean he wouldn’t try to defend himself!

But while a familiar scent hit Bahati as the older lion skidded to a stop in front of him, he couldn’t be sure it was anyone he knew. Not yet.

He crouched and let out a loud growl, but that was when he saw…

“Kivuli?!”

Stunned, the prince stared at his old friend, mouth agape. “I-… it’s really you?” he asked as Kivuli nuzzled his side. “I-I haven’t seen you in… I don’t even know how long!”

Laughing, the adolescent batted at the brown lion’s muzzle, shaking his head to rid his face of dust. “Geez, where have you been?! It’s been forever!”

[prince-kivuli]

The young adult moved back with a fanged grin on his muzzle both happy and amused that the cub was doing so well on top of growing healthy as well as still being as defensive as before if the instinctive unsheathing of claws and swerving into a good fighting position was any sign. With an approving subtle nod the older lion prowled around the teen curiously to see all the changes in his younger friend while he spoke "Yeah it's me little cub though I suppose I can't call ya that anymore huh... to answer your question though been busy being sent on diplomatic missions and guarding the borders for both sides so that is why you haven't seen me often." He explained before stopping in front of the teen and sitting on his haunches tail flicking and his pitch black mane covering one eye hiding the dual scar for the time being

[prxnceofthepride]

Bahati watched Kivuli circle him, smiling all the while. “Yeah, I’m not a cub anymore, obviously… but I’m not grown up yet, either.”

He nodded. “I can understand that. Just wish I’d gotten to see you when my mane started coming in. You would’ve been proud!” he joked, sitting down, too.

That was the first time he noticed that his friend’s mane covered one of his eyes, and, curious, he tilted his head. “What’s with your mane? You know- covering your eye like that?”

[prince-kivuli]

The young adult lion smiled in response to how happy his teenage friend was at growing his mane and no longer being the little cub he was so long ago before freezing at the question though he figured the younger lion would notice given how obvious it was with a sigh he raised his left paw and moved the mane out his eye revealing a rather nasty duel scar that covered a slightly clenched shut eye before he spoke "I got it fighting off a rogue lion who was trying to invade my Pride... still stings at times too." He stated softly before letting his mane fall back over that scar and eye and he glanced away ears pressed back somewhat as if ashamed to admit such a thing to the teen. Absently he knocked a rock away before just letting himself fall into a laying position on the dirt body semi tensed just waiting for the several questions the young lion would have for him while his tail flicked around lazily and his front claws dug into the dirt in slight frustration but not at Bahati no never at his young friend but merely at the whole situation "The rogue could have easily killed me if I hadn't moved at the right moment." He added after a few minutes of silence aside from the noises of birds flying overhead

[prince-kivuli]

Kivuli sighed out of boredom as he lazed around on a rock near the edge of the border between the Shadowlands and the Pridelands as well as the Outlands things were calmer than usual which either meant something bad in his father's opinion or it was to keep the Prince distracted from instigated a playful spar between the entire pride's cub population which was fair given the last time he thought with a huff while his tail flicked absently though he paused when his eyes caught movement and the silhouette of a younger lion.

"The planet is fine. The people are fucked." Kivuli stated with a straight face as he observed the town below tail swishing lazily as he ignored the human at his side his dry statement wasn't wrong given everything he had seen of humans lately granted his pride weren't exactly perfect and Great Kings most animals were equally screwed if this went out of proportion as it often did with humans

"Well now...it seems you've changed a great deal since I last saw you, Kivuli," remarked Edgar towards the lion's blunt statement. "Tell me though are you including your own species as well? Or is it directed towards humans only?" the smaller man went on to ask.

[prince-kivuli]

Kivuli held back an annoyed growl at the Duke's question considering it was reasonable at least "All things change Duke Edgar... me included and my statement however blunt doesn't just apply to humans despite my dislike for how some act my species is just as bad at times." The lion admitted as he turned to look at the human red eyes no doubt making the other somewhat uncomfortable though at least he no longer fainted so it was a plus he thought with a flick of his tail

be proud of your original characters. it's no easy task to create a character from scratch, to make them believable and real and human. it takes time. it takes dedication. so what if they aren't perfect right away? so what if there are still things you're only now figuring out after time? characters evolve, they go through changes and arcs and stories just like real people do. and it's okay if your character develops over time, you don't need to have it all figured out right away. there are some things that will only ever clear up after writing them for a while, finding their voice, and seeing the way they interact with other characters. but this is your character, your creation, and you deserve to feel proud about it no matter what.

"Are you saying that you never wondered what would have happened if we never met Nat?" The grey furred lion asked with a confused and cute head tilt as he glanced up at the other from his lazy sprawled out position in the grass

Nathan jerked his head up in surprise at the lion's question and averted eye contact immediately afterward, both at Kivuli's adorable head tilt and his own lack of immediate response.

Truth be told, the monochrome cat had thought about that question before - multiple times at fact - but didn't enjoy entertaining the thought, so to hear it out loud from someone else, let alone Kivuli of all people, left him in a rather unwanted headspace.

"I...prefer not to think about it," he murmured at last as he laid down beside Kivuli. "It's too sad a thought."

[prince-kivuli]

The grey lion frowned knowing he had surprised his fellow feline and boyfriend it was just... these thoughts had been eating him up lately something just said he wasn't deserving of this relationship shaking his head which made parts of his pitch black mane sway into his eyes slightly he sighed before instinctively shifting and laying his head against the monochrome feline "Yeah it is a depressing thought huh..." He murmured softly before adding "Forget I said it what matters is we are together because of it." He stated before nuzzling against his boyfriends face in an attempt to distract both himself from his thoughts and the other feline's train of thoughts about why he had asked in the first place.

[multi-universal-muses]

Nathan smiled and sighed happily before returning the nuzzle, snuggling close against his boyfriend's muscular side. He'd never get tired of staring into those gorgeous red eyes or running his fingers through that soft black mane, especially since both were good ways for the shapeshifting Pooka to relieve some stress - which is why he was doing both right now.

Besides, he had a strong feeling his boyfriend needed him doing these right now, too.

"No, no. Please, open up to me about it. We shouldn't hide our feelings from each other, especially if something was bothering either of them. And since they were both in a bothered mood, Nathan stretched before getting comfortable against Kivuli's toned side. "So…what's on your mind, Vu-Vu?"

[prince-kivuli]

Kivuli blushed at the sudden attention to his mane while he resolutely stared right back into his boyfriends eyes though his own red hues glazed slightly as he leaned into the hands running through his mane with a rumbling purr that almost echoed around them the fears quickly fading though still there as he leaned against Nathan tail quickly curling around the other absentmindedly while they snuggled, he was so distracted and comfortable that he made a questioning mrr sound not fully registering his boyfriend's sudden comment and following question though his eyes gained some focus back as he moved on his side to look right at Nat and he swiftly gave the monochrome shapeshifter and gentle if quick kiss on his muzzle before moving his head back and speaking "I've never been good with having people close to me you know that Nat... but my thoughts have been getting somewhat worse things like I don't deserve you and all before ya say anything I know that's ridiculous and that I deserve you and that you love me but......" He let the sentence end there knowing his Pooka would be able to guess his inner thoughts it was a common thing with them both they could read the other easily

"Could you stop?"

3 Word Themes: Questions "No. You're fluffy, adorable and I hardly get the chance to pet anythin' like you."

[prince-kivuli]

The lion stretched slightly while rolling his eyes "Fine but can you scratch behind my ears for a minute?"

[cubsitter]

Kivuli was well aware of Nuka attempting to sneak up behind him while he laid in the tall grass near the border of the Pridelands "Nuka you should really work on your sneaking you stepped on multiple sticks by the way." He said nonchalantly though with a slightly teasing tone

Whether it was the quiet growls, thinking himself quieter than he was, or the way his feet never seemed keep completely still, Nuka was not the best at hunting. In some other pride, maybe it wouldn't matter. It was the lionesses' job to hunt, after all. But that's wasn't so much an option for Nuka.

The sound of Kivuli's voice snatched him from whatever stealthy intentions he'd had, and his pounce was fairly good, on its own - he did catch his own food after all, but his claws were sheathed as he launched himself at Kivuli's side.

"If you were just a field mouse, you wouldn'a stood a chance," Nuka warned, sounding proud in the vaguest sense. Only when he could be outlandishly, even comically proud did he put the effort in.

[prince-kivuli]

The grey lion rolled his eyes slightly though he was smiling at his friend's comically proud tone "Maybe but just to help you I could teach you everything that I learned from your mother about sneaking and hunting.. honestly someone has to keep you alive." He joked before playfully pushing Nuka off his side and then jumping on him with a smirk "First lesson don't get distracted."
