"You think you're so hot. Well it just so happens you are." Cyna purred. She flicked her tail at Hodari, catching the cub's attention in time to stop him from climbing up Jamall's mane.

Jamall chuckled and smiled at Cyna, dark blue eyes tracking her tail as it flicked at Hodari. "Hehe, he's gonna be a bundle of trouble here in a few months, when he's bigger..." He thought aloud, wishing he could glance back and look at the boy. Unfortunately, the cub's position upon his shoulders made that action impossible, unless he wanted to knock his son off his back. Which was something he did not plan on doing.

"It's alright to ask me if I can carry him!" Cyna laughed, reading her mate's thoughts. She looked ahead again, just to keep her eyes on the path. She saw a panther ahead. He looked like he was waiting for them to approach him.

Jamall laughed and smiled at his mate's words. "Naw, I'm fine. You carried him long enough, now it's my turn to bear this little bundle of fur for a while." He replied, turning his eyes ahead as well. When he spotted the unfamiliar panther, he immediately turned his gaze back to Cyna. "Friend of yours?" He asked, not knowing who the black cat was.

Cyna's eyes grew wide as they got closer. She remembered this panther... from when Jamall was away. He had been passing through the Pridelands and offered to let her stay for a night in his den... What was his name...? Yuoro, that was it.
She slowed her pace. He would no doubt remember her from the stripe down her spine. She barely heard Jamall ask her if she knew the panther. "N-no." she lied, forcing herself to keep walking.

[If memory serves, Kye, you played Nala and one or two OC's.]
Jamall picked up the slight stutter with Cyna's reply, and while normally he would have thought nothing of her reply, but the slowing of her pace added with that stutter triggered a slightly suspicious response from the lion. "Oh... Hey, wasn't he the panther who passed through Pride Rock a while ago? Yeah, looks like the guy Simba and Sky described... Eh, probably just another panther. They all look alike." He said, seemingly talking to himself, but also watching and gauging his mate's reactions to his words.

Cyna moved to Jamall's other side, making it difficult for Yuoro to look at her closely as they stopped in front of him. She looked at Jamall, waiting for him to speak first.

"Uhh... Hello. My name is Jamall, this is my mate, Cyna, and my son, Hodari. We're emigrating from the Pride Lands. Could you point us towards the Noveria Clan's home?" The lion asked, after coming to a halt some fifteen feet in front of the Panther.

"Cyna?" the Yuoro gasped, moving around to look at her. "Did you say you're her... mate?" he turned to Jamall and raised an eyebrow. The lioness flattened her ears. She had hoped they could just head straight to wherever Sky and everyone were.

"I did." Jamall replied, a slight, barely noticeable frown crossing his muzzle. "And the boy riding upon my shoulders is our son. Now please, point us towards the home of the clan." He added, moving closer to Cyna, as if jealously protective of the beautiful lioness... Which he was.

"Yes of course... Just go straight and then look for the glowing plants." Yuoro said, now looking at Hodari. He stood out of the way, a mystified gaze aimed at Cyna occupying his facial features.

"Thank you." Jamall replied, watching closely as the panther's eyes wandered towards his son. At first, he paid the attention no mind, thinking it natural that someone's eyes should gravitate towards a cub as adorable as his and Cyna's son. But the other, different, somewhat baffled gaze turned towards Cyna elicited a completly different response from him. "And again, she's my mate." The lion added, his voice firmer than before. Gone were his earlier suspicions surrounding his mate's attempts to hide from Yuoro, and in their stead were suspicions revolving around this panther's fixation with his mate. Cyna was his reason for living, and to any male's eye, quite the prize. He wasn't about to let some smuck panther try his chances at getting his claws into Cyna. "Come on, let's go." Jamall stated, glancing over at Cyna, and nodding ahead, before he started moving again.

Cyna nodded and quickly took the lead in the direction Yuoro had pointed out. She was very much glad that the awkward moment had passed and busied herself with watching for any obstacles or dangers ahead.
Yuoro watched as the couple moved off. That was definitely the lioness he had fallen for five years back. How could he forget the most beautiful creature he had ever set his eyes on? While the fact that she already had a mate and child was rather off-putting, he could work around that small detail. Making up his mind, he set off after the two lions at a distance.

"So... That fellow seemed to know you. Did ya run into him while I was off gallivanting about in the jungle?" Jamall asked, turning his gaze to Cyna as he walked. He had very briefly thought about it, and he had realized that if she had known him back then, it was no big deal. Partly because he had been in a few relationships with a few of the female feline inhabitants of the jungle, and mostly because they hadn't known each other back then.

"I met him when he was passing through the Pridelands a few months before you came back. He was just a little too obsessive for me, though. Which is why I practically hid behind you..." Cyna explained. She was just a tad worried that Yuoro might follow them, but decided that he must have moved on and must have his own mate by now.

"Well, don't worry about him. Even if he still thinks you should be his, I'll 'convince' him to leave us alone." Jamall replied calmly, giving his mate a cheerful smile. While it had likely [or at least hopefully] not been detected by Cyna, due to how well the tone of the word blended with the rest of his speech, by 'Convince', Jamall had meant 'beat the living daylights out of the pewee panther'. Something he fully intended to do, should this Yuoro fellow try anything at all with his mate, with the exception of friendly chit-chat. Not to say that he didn't trust Cyna, because he trusted her completly in all things, but he did not trust that panther.

"Okay... Now you might want to detach Hodari from the top of your head before he can get to your muzzle." Cyna suggested humorously. She pointed with her tail to their son busy climbing up Jamall's mane.

"Huh?" Jamall asked. A moment later, little Hodari was clinging to his muzzle after trying to jump forward off his head, then chickening out at the last second. "Uhh... Little help, please..." He said, his voice muffled by the presence of his son who was clamped over his muzzle.

"Awww. Father-son bonding." Cyna teased before gently pulling Hodari away by his scruff. She swung him between her shoulders to enjoy the rest of the journey. Within a few moments, the glowing plants Yuoro had said would be there were in sight.
