(I like aw for all welcome better then open.I hope that's ok.)
Seti was bored and wasn't sure what he should do now that he was trying to start he's own pride on this land he had found.
It seemed like a perfect place for him as he had settled into one of the house like things in the small village he had called home.Right now he was scounting he's own land wondering if anyone wanted to join he's pride.Or at least dare to meet and talk to this massive white lion.
The air felt nice to him as it was back in the forest with trees and plenty of shade the perfect spot away from the terrable city and the memories of the zoo with the metal cages and what not.
And with the hurrican near the beach side moving forward to strike land any moment he was glad he was far from the ocean and out in this forest with plenty of shelter to go to just incase,but he knew he had to be casuious of flood water and high winds blowing up trees and what not.
He had paused near a tree and shook he's head as he's massive white main waved in the wind with the movement of him shaking he's fur off slightly of dust and other what not debry.

Ever since the female had sensed the storm coming she'd decided it was high time to leave the city. Since she ran away from her family she'd gone into the city to get as far from them as possible but her safety was far more important. Besides, the outskirts were far enough from the wilds where her birth pride resided and it was sufficiently far from the ocean so it was safe or at least it should be.
The lioness' paws fell on the ground rhythmically as she tread across the dusty terrain. Her golden eyes took in the strange scenery, there were many old human dwellings. They looked like they could give good shelter so she noted their positions in her mind for night would eventually come when she would need to sleep. Now she stopped and scanned her surroundings better for a new scent had just came to her nostrils. To better taste the new smell she opened her mouth and grimaced in the classic flehmen response. This enhanced the smell and she could immediately tell that the scent was not only of her kind but a male, a young one that was around her age.
Cleopatra's curiosity peaked and she took a hesitant step forward but stopped. It had been a while since she's seen another lion and this new scent offered a reprieve from the viciousness of her birth pride but weren't most outsiders mean? Her indecision lasted a moment longer before she gave her head a shake and followed the scent forward. She didn't have to follow long before she found the male. He was a sight to behold with a large, wavy, magnificent mane and the strangest but most beautiful white fur she'd ever seen. A lion with white fur? She'd heard of such things but never seen it for herself. She found herself not only entranced by his large mane but the fur as well, it was glorious!
For a moment she didn't say anything but finally she spoke out as she stepped around to a better position for she was behind the male and slightly behind one of the large trees. "Ho, stranger! Is this your land or are you passing through? I smelled no scent markers is why I'm asking." This was true for the land was so newly claimed or not claimed at all yet so the lioness had smelled none of the male's warning signs.

Seti was more or less scouting he's area out before he would place scent marks all over the place which was more or less why he had stopped by the big tree he had stopped by to mark.
That was until a lioness had caught him off gaurd and had asked him if he was passng though or if this land was he's and what not. He seemed to smile at the female slightly as she had asked the question."It is my home I have recently claimed it...you caught me in the middle of marking it to be honest..."He said as he glanced up at the massive tree slightly and then glanced back at her. She had strange scar markings on her face and darker colors on her back and face. She was beautiful to him and then again he never seen a normal looking loiness before let alone one that was an adnormal darker gold of a color.He was intrested in where she had came from right off the bat and wondered if there was others with her or if she was alone or not.
"Um forgive me for asking,but are you alone or did you bring others with you?'He asked her softly."I am Seti..what might your name be?"He asked her as he had caught himself staring into her eyes.

The male watched her just as she watched him though unknown to the female he found her attractive. The lioness simply continued to watch the male as he confessed his new stake on the territory, she admired the way that the wind moved through his mane; she'd forgotten how it was to be near another lion.
"Um forgive me for asking,but are you alone or did you bring others with you?' Her ears tilted forward as he asked this. Was he nervous that she was calling forth an ambush at this very moment? Or was he wondering if she would be easy prey if she was alone? A flicker of suspicion crossed her golden eyes for a moment before she subdued it with a milder and colder expression, if he wanted to try and attack her or worse she was confident in her ability to get away. After all, she was one of the swiftest lions in the land and no heavy-maned male was going to catch her if she didn't want. "I am alone though I can take care of myself fine." She spoke with her voice ringing strongly to show him that she wasn't afraid of being alone or afraid of him.
The second question was something that she expected, she also wasn't surprised when the male stared into her eyes longer than what was needed. She had a stare that many had described as "beautiful" or "entrancing" though the male's own gaze was something that caught her attention. She'd never seen a blue-eyed lion or rather she'd never seen a lion with blue eyes quite like his. Her cousin Tou had blue eyes but his were a darker blue and not so bright and striking. "I am pleased to meet you, Seti. My name is Cleopatra or Cleo if you prefer." She wanted to blink and break the bright gaze of the male but she dared not look away and show submissiveness. That's just what the males wanted but she was no delicate flower to be subdued and cowed easily.

Instead of moving away from her or looking away from her he had moved closer to the tree and had moved around it slightly to get a better look at her.
He had wondered if he had struck a nerve by asking her if she was alone or not,but it was just a simple question that he had asked and he hadn't meant to offend her.
"Hmm I can see that"He added about her being alone and about her being able to take care of herself."It's a nasty,but beautful scar all the more though...which proves that your right about that"He added.
"I would perfer to call you Cleo and it is a beautiful name as well...so what part of this city did you come from Cleo...and did the waters drive you hear or just plan intrest?"He asked her with a smirk on he's face."I hope you don't mind,but I was in the middle of something. Your welcome to join me,but I wouldn't want to get my scent all over you since your by this tree"He added to her as he wanted to establish that he wanted to mark he's terra so others wouldn't zoom in on he's lovely home he had claimd to him it was perfect others might see it as something else,but to him it was completely perfect.And he couldn't help,but to contuine to stare in her eyes the whole time.There was just something so luring about her that he couldn't put he's figner on then again he had been the only lion alive after he's parents died around the zoo that he knew of.So where she come from he was curious as to where as well.

Cleopatra rolled her eyes at his remark about her birthmark, it was a strangely shaped mark but others always assumed that it was a scar. Perhaps it was a scar but one that she was born with and obtained when she was within her mother's womb, maybe she was fighting with her siblings in that tight space. "It's not a scar, it's a birthmark but thanks for acknowledging my ability to take care of myself."
The lioness' left ear twitched as she listened to his compliment she wasn't sure if he was being kind just to be kind or if he had some ulterior motive. "Thank-you, Seti. I find your name rather nice as well." Another ear twitch as she judged how much to tell him. Should she let him know that she'd run away from her pride in Disappearing Forest to the Vilas area? Or should she just tell him the latter part where she'd left Vilas to seek shelter from the impending storm? She studied his icy eyes closely and decided that the kind glint she saw wasn't a ruse for those in pride never had such a glint. "I am originally from the Disappearing Forest but I... left my pride to go to Vilas and live for a bit. However, I feel that a storm is approaching so I came here to escape it before it started." A sardonic grin came onto her face as she added, "So, no. It wasn't purely interest that brought me here... As charming as you are."
The female chuckled at his next words, males and their marking of scents and territories. She supposed it was essential though because it kept intruders out and the pride safe. Pride? Did this white-coated male have an arsenal of lionesses and cubs waiting for him to finish marking this land? The thought of another lioness that had already claimed the queen-ship of this land --not to mention the heart of such an attractive male-- made her want to be on her way. However, she didn't think that was true. The only scent she caught in this land was of the male and the prey that lurked deep within the depths of the territory. "Why don't I stay upwind of you then?" Her next sentence came hesitantly as she forced herself to say it. "Truth be told it's been a long while since I've had decent company... especially that of another lion." She moved closer but kept her word and stood in a place that would ensure that Seti's scent wouldn't be sprayed all over her.

Seti had nodded he's head to her."Oh well your very welcome then Cleo and well it's is a cruious mark it is..so a birthmark..intresting"He added as he had finally sat down and glanced up the tree slightly finally taking he's eyes from her before looking at how tall the tree was.Before he glanced back at her.
"Oh never really heard of it...the only thing I ever know was the animals at the zoo where I was born and excaped from.I find the city to be to exhausting and to blah for me.So I decided to find a more peaceful hommy spot...I suspose I picked a good spot because of the storm"He added."And well...glad you got away from the up coming storm"He added
He seemed to smirk abck at her comment as to why she said she was hear."Well the same goes for me then...you are a beatiful sight I've never seen a normal colroed lioness before then again my parents had been the only lions I seen before they died..."He admitted.
"So....you looking to stay...or just to pass through?"He asked as he was intrested in her staying of corse,but for other reasons then she might think. Yes he was lonely,but finding someone to talk to who didn't bore him or was scared of him was hard and someone of he's kind even harder.

Cleopatra nodded in assent when Seti commented on the dullness of the city. Compared to where she had lived for the majority of her life the city was an awful place with a ground that was hard on the paws and large structures that provided good shelter but were too closed-off. A forest was a much better place than the city and though it was close to the little village the small wooden buildings were easier to get used to than the larger ones in Vilas. "Yes, the city is quite 'blah'. I agree with you. Your territory is far better than that stone-ground place..."
The golden lioness gave a lopsided smile at the male's comments. How long had it been since a male had actually flirted with her? Ages it seemed! Her tail waved languidly back at her as she prepared a comment for the male lion. "I'm sorry that your parents have died but I must say that I've never seen a lion with your coloring. It is quite magnificent... and your eyes... The color is strange but beautiful as well." With this comment she allowed herself to once more take in the beauty of his all-white mane and fur.
"I don't know. For now though I'll probably stay in one of those human-dwellings," She flicked her tail back in the direction of the nearest dilapidated, wooden home. "If you don't mind, of course. I can always find another place to wait out the storm, if you do mind." She had a feeling that the male wouldn't reject her presence because what male in their right mind would? Actually, what lion in their right mind would? Months and years of loneliness can take its toll.

"Yeah it is blah and stone and ahrd ground I never did understand why my parents never left...maybe it was just out of habit since there realitves must of been taken care of by some kind of human some time ago...when the zoo was alive."He added"And it's ok they gotten old so it was bound to happen sooner then later.I wasn't very old when they died"He added
When she commented him about he's fur color and eyes he smiled back at her once more."Why thank you....I had been told I was rare,but never really beleived it till I ran into a golden color lioness like yourself"He said softly to her.
When she had got to talk about staying here he had moved closer to herto take her in more."Well I surely don't mind I been lonely for awhile so I don't mind at all the company and the shelters would make a great home incase the rain and wind got to bad.I hope it doesn't flood...this family is ontop of a hill rather then down at the bottom like the road seems to be"He added wondered if she came across it.He had made mental notes where the high and low land was around this area so he wouldn't get stuck if the storm got to bad."Forgive me for asking,but care if I come closer....your just so intresting looking and I haven't seen any other lion other then myself in so long.."He said to her kindly not wanting to strike her defensive side into high gear if he got to close without asking he didn't what her to think he was a threat or trying to mvoe in on her .He more or less just wanted to take her scent in at a closer spot was all.

He was right, parents did get old and had to die at some point though one always liked to think they'd be around for a while. Well... except for her, her parents --more specifically her mother-- could go die in a hole at this moment and she wouldn't be the least bit upset. Outwardly she added, "Still, losing those that gave you life is tough... especially when you're young." Sentimental words spoken without the sentimentality one would expect, the words were true but she didn't have the emotion behind it because of her own tough life.
Cleopatra's head tilted to the side when he mentioned her as being the only golden lion he'd run into."Really? Gold is the standard color for lions, it's the white color that you have that turns heads." She noted that the male moved closer into her space but she didn't take a step back lest it seem like a weak or submissive move. The lioness simply decided to lift a corner of her lip to expose a few fangs in warning to detour the male from getting any closer but the lip quickly lowered again as she was sure the point got across. "I hope it doesn't flood either but I have a feeling that it will but as you said this place seems to be pretty high, we should be safe."
"Forgive me for asking,but care if I come closer....your just so intresting looking and I haven't seen any other lion other then myself in so long.." And the question came out. As polite as his question was and as starved as she was for lion companionship she wasn't sure if letting him into her personal space would be wise. No matter what he said Seti could still be out to harm her or "continue his line" as many males liked to put it. Despite herself the lioness' golden eyes narrowed suspiciously even while she gave a nod."If you must..." Her muscles tensed as she prepared her body for action should the need arise.

Seti had nodded he's head."Yes yes it is very touch"He added and had smiled at her when she had said yes to him coming closer.
"Well to tell the turth my parents wore the rare color of white...so me never seeing a normal colored lion or lioness before is also rare to me. I suspose you didn't grow up at the zoo,but an other palce right"He said as he was now beside her as he had took in her scent as he's nose slightly brushed against her back as he closed he's eyes slightly.
"Mmmm and you smell so sweet to"He said with a laugh beside he lenged against the tree rubbing he's neck against the tree slightly as he's mane shook as he moved he's head."Mmm this tree it good for a lot of things"He added to her."To mark my terra to scratch my neck back and what other parts that might itch and for shade"He added as he looked at her he could tell she was tense and uneasy,but he didn't blame her maybe her family or realitives was like that who knew ,but he was curious about what made her so causious.
"So...should I prive or leave it alone?"He asked her about how tense she seemed.

The female stood for him brushing his nose over her back and actually somewhere deep inside she was happy for the attention by the male, though her conscious mind would never let herself admit it. "That is right, I have never even been to the zoo. However, I do believe my grandmother once told me our ancestors came from the zoo. The humans took care of them or something like that..." Truth be told she wasn't sure how much of her grandmother's story was true. The old lioness liked to exaggerate on stories so you had to take what she said with a grain of salt.
Cleopatra stood and watched the male as he finally leaned away from her and rubbed his mane against a tree. She allowed herself to admire his long, wavy mane as well as take his compliment to heart where it made her ears warm in a "blush". When was the last time someone had complimented her? Not in a while she was sure. Also, the male had had plenty of chances to hurt here but he hadn't even attempted nor had he attempted to anything else... dare she let herself trust him, even just a little?
"So... should I pry or leave it alone?" Cleopatra's ears started to twitch back defensively but she stopped them and forced them forward in a more amiable posture. Her golden eyes slowly slipped from him to the tree he was standing beside as she made a casual observation. "Trees do indeed have a lot of uses, I agree with you on that. I also might add that trees have no eyes or mouths so they can't observe others nor can they pry about someone's personal life. Wouldn't you agree?" Her head tilted innocently to the side in a slight questioning gesture even though the question was obviously rhetorical. However, in an instant she shook her head and relented. "Sorry, I do not mean to be so uptight and tense but where I come from the lions were not so friendly for no reason so it paid to be on guard and suspicious. If they were kind it was because they wanted something in return... I shall speak no more beyond that. My life story is for another time." Her face darkened as the memories of her home came rushing back to her mind but she shook her head and peered keenly at Seti. "Are you truly kind for no reason, Seti? You want nothing in return? Because to me that is strange..." In her golden eyes shone the light of curiosity, if this male was truly who he said he was then perhaps this would be a place that she could stay.

Seti smiled at her as she talked he couldn't help it,but he loved to stare at her she was so beautiful and magistic that it just got him going on so many levels it was crazy.
"Yeah I bet the stories are true...my parents had talked about stuff like that before they died they never ventured out of the zoo,but when they died I decided to leave and find new places and explore and take my own lands and make my own pride...and stuff like that...seems I found the perfect spot for it"He added to her softly.
He listend to her as she had answered he's other questions.
"I am sorry to hear that Cleo it must of been pretty ahrd growing up around not very nice stuff"He said and glanced down slightly when she had asked him about being nice for no reason.
"My parents rasied me to be nice and respectful of others so I always went around giving respect and stuff well it was needed and hurt the ones who never desevered it...I suspose because of my size a lot of other animals feared me and what not..,but honestily...I don't want to force anything on you...even though looking at you makes my body want to keep you hear forever"He said as he looked up at her"Your so beautiful....and I was never around an other animal I felt so sttracted to in my life till you popped up....if you want me...I would gladly like you to be my queen...,but only if you want...and whenever you decided if you want to or not...,but thought I would ask...you know since your so beautiful and all"He said if he could blush he would be blushing right now.It wasn't everday the king of the ..well woods admitted something like that to an other animal let alone a female.
(sorry if it's choppy )

Cleo nodded her head and sighed ruefully, perhaps if she'd grown up where Seti had grown up she would be a completely different cat. Or maybe she'd be the cat that she was on the inside, the nice one that others liked instead of the cold one she tried to project... The inner cat was begging to be let free now. She wanted to find a true home and she wanted someone she could trust, just like any other lion did.
The golden lioness listened closely to what he had to say before opening her mouth to speak. "You are strange to me, Seti... but your strangeness is most welcome from what I am used to. Your compliments they also are most welcome..." She gave him a swift smile as her ears once again warmed in a "blush". Back at her old pride she'd gotten plenty of compliments but they'd never made her feel so warm and fuzzy on the inside. What was wrong with her? "As for being your queen why would you want me as one? I am not that beautiful, am I? I have also only shown you my tense side... Would you truly want me to rule this land with you?" To leave the position as soon-to-be-queen at her old home and regain it at this new place was ironic indeed. She knew how to lead and she would be happy to do so but was this male sure he wanted her?

Seti smiled at her as she had seemed to blush again was he really that good at making this girl blush.Hell she was making him blush as well.
"Well Cleo I was taught right by my parents and your most welcome and yes you are that beautiful "He said to her softly as he had sat down and looked at her and what she had asked if he was sure about.
"As from what I see your the only female lioness around yes you are very beautiful and I also want to see the other sides of you.I am intrested in getting to now the whole you and not just your timid side...that is an other reason why I had asked...there is just something about you that I scene is just what I need.I been lonely for sometime so I really would love the company as well....and if you want your welcome to share one of the huts with me...unless you want your own for now..till you get used to me."He said to her softly as he shook he's mane again and rubbed he's forhead against the tree slightly he was really itchy at the momentand this tree was perfect to him after a moment he stopped and looked back at her.
"So....anything you want to know about me...since I am asking for a lot?"He asked her.
