Hope for a Home

.: I leaned into his whisper. I sighed as he told me that I was friendly to what he was used to. "Really? You really think that about... me? Well... I uh... think that uh..." I cut my sentance short; I didnt know what to say."...very sweet if you don't mind me saying." I stopped crying and turned to look into his beautiful eyes. A slight smile crawled over my cream lips. I waited for him to ask me to come with him, to live at this Priderock, but I knew that was never going to happen. It never has. It most likely never will. I felt like an ant stuck to a peice of gum on the bottom of a tennis shoe, never being released from my internal prision.

.:Maybe just maybe, there was this chance that as he left to leave I could follow him home. No, I wont do that I'm to much of a respectful cat to do so. I took a deep breath, memorizing his sent. There was nothing like it on this earth. It was, oh whats the word I'm looking for, individual, and indestinctive. I just couldn't get enough of it. Stop, this is you going crazy Xanadu. I took control of my head and focused my eyes on his face. I waited for him to reply. "I wish I could see Priderock." I spoke my own thought out loud and almost freeked. This was too much, I really had to start keeping my thoughts to myself.

OOC: Sorry, bad post. Not much muse today.

Zaprod grinned, glad that the queen had cheered up once more. Her words took him by surprise, and yet at the same time he could feel the thrill of excitment whell up in his chest, the blood pounding through his veins. The large lion had met many queens in his time, and had been taken in by their charms more times then he could care to count. Yet, each time it had been nothing more a sweet and tender memory, a flicker of fantasy. But for the first time in Zaprod's life, he was not going to go bac to Priderock alone.

He had finally found himself a treasure.

Well, you could always come with me. Zaprod's words were soft, soothing, warming and welcoming. They were sweet and bitter, tough and tender, like black and white pelts. He tilted his head to one side, and flicked his tail. He stood tall and met the queens gaze with a stare that flickered with determination as he dropped all pretence.

Zaprod was ready to welcome the affectionate and tender love of a queen into his home. He wanted to feel her beside him as he slept, to feel her fur press against his as he ate and to finally create the family that he had never before had the oppertunity to create. In the back of his mind, Zaprod laughed with glee at the idea of Smokey learning that he had found himself a queen.

Perticularly a beautiful little thing such as the cat who stood before him.

.:I smiled as he spoke those words of happiness into my ear. This was something that I have never experianced before in my life. A home, a place that I could start a family, with someone who loved me for what I was. It was nice, so I was implamated to say yes to him, to go home and enjoy his loving company. "I would love to come with you, Zaprod!" I purred into his ear and press my fragile frame against his own.

.:I waited quietly for him to respond and lead me to Priderock. My flag hung low to the ground heavy with the weight of being exhausted from the sun's rays. I yawned and rubbed my paw into the soft sandy soil. "I was wondering if you would be willing to show me around, you know because I am new here. It would be really helpful, and of coarse how to get to Priderock!" I purred gently into his ear. I ran my tail across his and rubbed my head into his shoulder. I waited quitely for his answer.

ooc:Tabby it is your turn! finally!
