Kovus Roar

[paramour]

Grizzled maw peeled back blacklined lips; exposing serrated, buttered ivories. From the depths of cavernous chest came a monumentous roar, filling the grassland with his leonine call. Twas enough to cause birds to take flight, their wings flapping in alarm. Kovu could imagine the gazelle in the distance with their heads shooting up from their grazing in fright, tails twitching with anxiety. His purpose, however, was not to frighten the wildlife, but to bring together those who roamed here. for a lion is not at his or her best without more of like kind to reside by.

Earthen hued tufted tail sway 'pon its axis, tickling the crisped grasses. Massive paws nimble stretched toes, expressing sickle ebonite claws from their protective sheath. Loins and haunches rolled, with front end dipping into a deep stretch. this displayed the highlights and curves of toned muscles, developed from years of hunting and travel. Shaggy ember mane was given a harty shake, lids closing 'pon amber optics.

Once finished with after-roaring procedure, Kovu rose to a stand. He was of barbery desent, which meant he was a larger breed of lion -- one which is nearly extinct. Dark hued pelt glinted in the sunlight, criss-crossed by the many physical scars of his childhood. The ones that marred his mentality, however, only showed up after co-habitation reigned. This was the lonely time of day, when there was no need to hunt nor was it hot enough to sleep. He had just laid there, watching the beastlings of the plain go about their business. Kovu wished for a Pride to lead, lionesses to hunt for him.

}Wooo..that was horrid!{

Kiara heard a large and powerful roar, her large ears flicked and she looked towards the sound, it sounded familiar. She stood up, the grass where she had layed now imprinted in the shape of her form. She began to run, her paws making impressions in the dirt, she saw a lion, just as expected, dark and huge. She slowed to a stop and watched him carefully.

(Sorry, really low muse)

Keen optics found their target as a feminine form graced his perception. She had not been too far in the distance and Kovu wondered why he had not seen her sooner. Regardless, honeyed gaze adhered to the lioness while she sprinted the short duration towards him, sleek and elegant. He found himself breathless and worse yet, lost for words. He had always associated the female with course scars, ticks and bite marks. Their pelts were never cleaned propperly and they ahd always been skinny. This one, however, was nothing of the sort. Completely opposite, really. This he found pleasing.

Darkened only in colouration, Kovus heart was not a bitter as one might expect. He was cunning and witty, a smooth talker if you will. His physique screamed masculinity, a full thick mane surrounding his facade. Oval harks twitched, waiting to catch a call from the lioness. When she did not speak up, he took a stride forward. The sun beat down on his glossy topline, shimmering a ginger tinge. He was an impressive brute, no doubt.

"Lady lioness, I'm graced with your presence..." Came his sly tongued greeting, simply oozing charm. "I am Kovu, formerly of the outlands. Who may you be?" Stance was assumed with royal head held high 'pon its hidden appendage. Kovu had rediculous amounts of patience, considering who his kin where and the enviroment in which he was raised. A smirk crept 'pon his kissers, teasing back transparent whiskers.

{Okay, so did I.}

Her heart leapt as she watched the lion walk towards her. It was just what she had hoped for. She watched him walk, proud and graceful, he was not grudgy but by the looks of it, took very good care of himself.

She quickly reached down and licked her fur to make sure it wasn't ruffled by the run, but it did not take long and she had looked back up before he had reached her.

He spoke, what a charming voice, what wonderful lyrics. Kiara couldn't help but smile. She was surprised to hear that he had once been in the outland but by the color of his coat, she should have guessed he wasn't from the Pride Lands.

"Hello Kovu, I assure you, the pleasure is all mine." She smiled and looked directly into his deep optics, her own were soft and gentle, though full of excitement. "I am Kiara."
