OOC: The word ignition reminds me of ignition temperature xD 

Zallion beamed at Ignition. "Nice idea. I like it." He rubbed noses with her. "But now? Perhaps we should wait till we're...affianced? If you'd like that, that is." He flushed a little, wondering if she'd marry him.

Kismet grew uneasy. "Oh-eh...that, em...that-that-" he stammered, wishing he had just shut up. "Th-That it might rain in the outlands today. Perhaps nothing more than a drizzle, but it'll be nice." he quickly said. Kismet shuffled his feet, and tried to change thesubject. "You hungry? I'll come with you to hunt. Cause I'm starving." 

OOC: Cool song =D

"Really?" Zallion asked, then sensed Ignition's fear. He nuzzled her. "I won't, sweetheart." He mumbled. Then he looked at the lights, then turned to the young song-named lioness. "Wanna dance?" he asked, eyes twinkling. He got up on his hind legs, though wobbly, offered her a paw.

Zallion began to sing,

"Walking in the moonlight, I'm thinking of you.

Listening to the raindrops, I'm thinking of you.

Day and night, my darling, you're in my mind.

Oh, my dear Ignition, how I love you."

When he finished, he looked at her, waiting for a response. "You like it?" 

OOC: Merry Christmas, everyone! 8D

Zallion smiled and rubbed noses with her. Thunder crashed. Zallion jumped to his feet. "Sweetheart, we've to get to safety. Now!"  Peals of thunder, accompanied by lightning and heavy rain pelted down. Zallion saw a short tree that would be big enough for them to stay under. "Over there! Hurry!"

Akari saw a doe grazing far away. She crouched low to the ground, barely daring to breathe. Her mother and the others were a distance away. She lowered her head until it was just a few inches from the ground, and took hushed yet steady paces forward. When she was just a few meters away from her target, a twig, rather unfortunately, crushed under her forepaw. The doe jerked its head and was off in a flash. Akari cursed herself. She leaped out of her hiding place and began chasing the doe, who sprinted away within minutes. Akari stopped, remembering her mother's advice, Stop when you know your prey has gotten away. It's no use pursuing it afterward. You'll only be wasting your energy, which isn't advisable here where we live. So she stopped in her tracks and ran back to Kiara. 

 Kiara and the troop had a successful hunt that day. An adult buck. It'd last us for some time. She wondered where her daughter was. It's raining, she thought, slightly bemused. I hope she's okay with him. And that was when she saw her second daughter running toward her. "Mom, I didn't get anything today!" Akari almost wailed. "It's alright, dear." Kiara pacified her. "We've to return now. Go and find your sister, will you?" She asked, and Akari nodded and set out in the direction of the Outlands.

"Ignition?" she cried as she reached there. "Where are you? Mom's calling!" She waited for her, flicking her tail in anxiety.

Shetani had followed the two of them silently, neither of them knowing. Once they'd left, she followed, making sure not be seen and making sure she was down winf of them.

She then walked around them, still not being seen, and walked behind Kiara.

~~

Fang walked towords Akari, Ignition, Shetani and Kiara. "Greeting." He smiled as he aprotched them.

When Akari saw Fang, she smiled, saying, "Hey Fang," She wondered if he noticed her. Akari looked up at the dark sky, narrowing her eyes to keep the raindrops from falling into them.

Kiara turned to guide the hunting party back, and when she saw Shetani, she flashed her a smile of gratitude. She then turned to her daughters and nodded, asking them to follow her back to Pride Rock.

Zallion just stood there, watching them. His mane was drenched and dripping. He was still unsure if he should cross the border. He decided not to, and turned to go back to Zhaine, after grinning at Ignition. Silently, he padded away into the gloom of the night. 

Fang smiled back at her. "hello Akari." He smiled. He then crossed the boarders with once small step, and placed a beautiful bright colored flower behind her ear. He then winked at her, and stepped back behind the boarder bedore he got in trouble.

He then sighed as she watched the others start to leave.

~~

Shetani smiled back at Kiara. "I didn't listen to their conversation.... All I did was stand gaurd... I hope that was enough." She thought to herself as she started to head back to pride rock.

~~

"When will something happen?" Kolan muttered. "Nothing good eery happends here...." He huffed as he layed down on another large rock.

Akari blushed slightly as she smiled at Fang. Her heart warmed to him. She winked back at him as she turned to leave.

Kiara nodded at Shetani, then lead the group back to Pride Rock, hoping her daughters were following.

"Something is happening," Kismet growled, wondering what was happening in the edge of their territory.
