Liseli's ear flicked, her nervous gaze on Buta. "What is he thinking? This is all new to me, what should I do?" She curled her tail up next to her and absent-mindedly played with the tip.

(Lonely Sheiba is lonely. ;- Sheiba, spacing off, just listenend to the chit chat of the others from below, staring at the sun some as she snorted, grumbling. "Stupid love." she said, shaking her head wildly. She then stood up, walking down the hill and away from the territory. She spotted the buzzards which were eating the old elephant meat that she had given to Liseli, including the lions which laid dead. She sighed, looking around even more, only to walk to a watering hole which was out of the territory, drinking in the tall grass.

Liseli looked at Buta's blank expression. He was too hard to read. "Hey, I, uh, think Sheiba's calling me. I'd better go," She padded off, looking for Sheiba. Thing were awkward between her and Buta right now. She wasn't sure what she thought of him. He had saved her life, but she didn't know him that well. She shook the thoughts out of her head and found Sheiba at a water hole. "Hey," she said, looking at her reflection in the water. She needed a good grooming. She looked scruffy and unkempt. She thought of Buta for a second, and then felt really self-concious. She started licking herself clean. "Sheiba, what should I do? I've never been liked that way by anyone before. I don't know what to do."

Toreek chuckled at the sight of the tired cub still trying to claw one of the already torn feathers. "Ahah, I wish I was his age again. It had so much fun then." he thought to himself. He noticed Dazaine was watching them for a while now. At a point, her face became grim, an expression he knew too well by now, but at the momment she was just laying down and resting her head on her paws, cheerfully watching Gonza play. Toreek ripped some more feathers from his mane and placed them all over Gonza's face. The excited cub giggled and started shaking his head from side to side to get rid of them, so he could just claw them afterwards. The dark leopard walked to Daz and lay down by her side. "Hey." he said nuzzling her. "Is everything alright? You seemed upset with something a while back." he said with a soft deep voice. He had started to develop a bond with this lioness, and was genuinely interested in her well-being. He felt she was already a good friend to him. That was odd... in Hell he didn't care much about other's feelings. [[I made a concept for what I think Gonza looks like based on what Buta said HERE ;D I did it just for fun, it doesn't have to be official or anything ;P He has cub spots that will fade once he grows up.]]

Sheiba snorted, looking down at the water herself. "You asked the wrong person hun. My heart has turned into stone since that damned lion." she said, putting her paw on her reflection. She lifted her head up and looked over to Liseli for a minuet "If anything, keep on your toes about it. You've only met Buta for a few days since a bunch of us had been recruited, he might just want to get into your fur." she said, referring that Buta might just want to use her. Sheiba couldn't trust any male lion after what Derk had done to her.

Liseli didn't know what to think. Sheiba had more experience with this kind of thing. "Okay," She said. She hoped no one would use her, but one day she would rule Rakuen, and she did not want to be alone. Sheiba was right. She had to keep her guard up.

Buta sat down looking at the night sky. soon later Buta began to walk where Gonza and Toreek went, as Buta came to where Toreek was. Gonza shouted out ''Dady!.....'' as Gonza ran to Buta.
Gonza trip'd and landed onto Buta's front paws. Gonza looked up to Buta. And smiled, Buta asked back ''Are you ok?....'' Gonza then nodded.
''Well its late. better get to bed.'' Gonza smile slowly faded away. As Buta spoke down to Gonza. Buta looked at Toreek and nodded. In thanks for looking after Gonza.
Buta picked up Gonza. And walked off to his den. As Buta came to his den. Gonza looked into the den thinking someone else is in there. Buta putted Gonza down in the middle of the den. watching Buta getting something. right at the back, of his den.
As Gonza watched Buta. A piece of meat that still looks fresh. slides in front of Gonza. Buta spoke to Gonza ''Better eat up. you look like you haven eaten anything for ages''
Ganza looked at Buta. and back down to the meat. ''Thanks...'' Gonza said back to Buta
After Gonza finished eating the meat. They then went to sleep. Gonza was under Buta's paw. thinking Buta as a farther.

Liseli watched Sheiba. She knew she was hurt, but she thought it was silly that she was so upset all the time. Besides, that was only one male. There were lots in the world. She had just picked the wrong one. Liseli lay down and lay her head on her paws. The stars were out, and the moon was full. She thought about Buta and his deep blue eyes. She always felt like he could look into her soul. It kinda scared her, and he was intense a lot of the time. But that evening she had seen a different side of him. She wanted to learn more. Sheiba looked lost in her own thoughts, so Liseli got up and went back to the dens. She hoped Sheiba would follow soon and go to bed. Liseli walked past her den to Buta's. She could hear his deep breathing with the small sounds of Gonza snoring. She whispered, "Buta? Can I talk to you?"

Dazaine watched Gonza for a moment, now playing with even more feathers. She almost purred, noticing that the cub seemed to have endless energy. The lioness tensed when Toreek nuzzled her, clearly surprised. Evidently, Toreek had seen her frowning face previously and had decided to see what was wrong, and she hadn't even noticed. She was too focused on Gonza to notice, or even acknowledge Toreek's presence. Dazaine sighed, bringing her attention back to the male beside her. "Oh, its a long story." She smiled a small, forced, weak smile. "I'm almost positive you don't want to hear it."

"Try me." he said smiling but with a daring look on his face. He seemed like a little kid playing truth or dare, but he didn't mean it that way. He really wanted to know her story.
[[Sorry for the small post, gtg!]]

Buta heard someone outside his den, and slowly opened his eye's. Buta moved his head up seeing a lion. asking to talk to Buta. Buta moved his paw out of the way and got himself up. when Buta looked on where the lion was. He then saw it was Liseli. Buta asked, whispering ''Liseli?...'' as Buta walked to the exit of his den. Buta then said ''what's the problem.....'' Buta looking at Liseli. Still whispering, trying not to wake Gonza up.

Dazaine nearly scoffed at his answer, but was touched by the fact that he wanted to know. "Well, get comfortable. It's going to take a while." She herself slid into a more comfortable position. "It ll started soon after I was born... No, scratch that." She made a funny looking grimace. If she was going to tell Toreek practically her life story, it was not going to start of nearly as cheesy as that. ""Okay... well, I guess I should start off with this. The cubs at my other pride were taught how to not have fun. They... never did anything. All they did was stare at rocks and trees all day. They were boring and dull, and that's how the pride liked 'em. But for some reason, when they told me that fun would only get me hurt and into trouble... Now, do you think that worked on me? Oh no sir. No way. I swear, they must have hated me. It was only simple things that I did. Claw at the elders' tails, pick fights... which was a total failure because nobody would even play fight with me. The punishments would be minor. You know, no food for a day, can't go out of my den, yada yada yada. One day, I saw the leader beating up an elder. It was gruesome... fur flew everywhere, there were yowls, and all other sorts of noises. The elder wouldn't take it, so he fought back. The leader killed him right there, on the spot. But hat really irked me, was that the pride just walked on by as if nothing was happening. Absolutely horrified, I ran. I became a loner... And, well, here I am." The lioness looked over at him, a dark look in her eyes. She would not tell him why the elder was beaten and killed that day... that it was her fault.

Liseli lead him out of his den and into the open. She thought of something to say. "Buta, you know, about this afternoon..." She began, her paws sweating a little when she mentioned it. "I just want to know more about you, that's all really."

Buta then gazed at Liseli for a moment and then putted his ears down. ''I'll take you to a place that no one know's of. Because it's where my time as a cub, begins.....'' as Buta walks to far end of the pride area, away from the dens, showing the forest. ''The Blooming Tree....'' Buta whispers to Liseli.
''They say the tree was founded by those who got lost... In the forest. ....But.... my farther took me there... ones or so often.....''
''But one day. I asked him, knowing how he got there... He said It was love.... Knowing if it could be true.... Was when it was to late... later that day... I found my farther on the ground. not moving at all... Then was when I knew someone or someone killed him.... ....So..... I ran back to my pride. In panic, later, came to horror... My pride was burnt. most lions I found where dead.... And that then, I went to my mothers den. finding that she got killed...''
Buta then huffed and puffed out. Trying to clear out. On what had happened in his past. He turned around to Liseli asking ''...So... Do you want to go to The Blooming Tree?...'' as he smiled

Liseli listened to his story. It reminded her a little of Sheiba's. "The members of my pride have gone through things I can't even fathom," She thought. She had it easy compared to the trials her family had. She had always grown up in the safety of her clan. She had no idea what it was like in the real world. From that moment, she vowed to go and see the world. It would help her become a better leader someday. Buta asked if she wanted to go to see the place he called the Blooming Trees. She wanted to see the place. Buta smiled, making Liseli's heart beat a little faster. That had never happened before. "Maybe this is what my brother felt when he was with..."She cut her thoughts off, before she grew too upset. She smiled back at Buta. "Yes," She whispered, and then she walked off with Buta to the Blooming Trees in the soft moonlight.
