When Sengalo heard Yumi refer to Ami as "Miss Lovesick," he gave a confused look in her direction, his brow raised and his eyes narrowed slightly. He repeated the name in his head again. Am I missing something here...? He took a look at Ami again, hearing her sigh. Was it true? Was Ami really falling for Sengalo? Sengalo was never sure how females acted when they had really loved someone. Wait... yes he did. He remembered the reason he had left his old territory in the first place. It was that cheetah he had fallen in love with himself, Sesate. Sengalo was too naiave to take notice of how she would go googly eyed and flirtatious and such to that freak of a cat, Rokama. His ignorance and love for her had blinded him from the truth. He wished he had seen it earlier. Sengalo shook the thought out of his head with a small grunt.Originally posted by Suki
Yumi whispered in Rio's ear, "Ami is head over heals over Sengalo." She snickered. Ami luckily didn't hear her.
Ami looked over to Rio. She thought for a second. Hmmmm...what is she talking about about some sorta king? There's a king of Africa? What the heck does that mean? She shuddered. "Eh, no thanks. I'd rather stay here I suppose. I doubt the 'king' or whatever he is will get mad at me." Ami said.
Yumi rolled her eyes. "Come on, let's go. Before we get her mad. She can be kinda weird when she's mad, but trust me, you can't change her mind."
Hearing Ami's voice again, he looked down at her. Perhaps it was good that she wasn't going to see King Simba. Then, he wouldn't know of him associating with her, the King having known who he was. For all Sengalo knew, Simba could think him dead right now, having not been in sight of the Pridelanders for those weeks. The thought eased him a bit. It would help with his father's and Shakou's plans for the King.
"Good choice," Sengalo replied to Ami with a small smirk, but grew falsely grave as he continued, "the King isn't all that welcoming, anyways. He doesn't really enjoy newcomers to his land." He paused. "You never know with him. My... family... was driven out by him a long time ago... all because he just didn't like their beliefs." Yes, it was a bit of a lie, but if it kept Ami and Yumi from Priderock and away from the King, it would prove to be of benefit to him.
Standing to his feet, Sengalo then said more lightly to Ami, "I think I can carry it, now." He walked over to the carcass. "I'll just do it later, though." With that, Sengalo picked up the dead animal in his powerful jaws and walked a ways until he came to a tree. Sengalo had watched the technique he was about to do from leopards. He lunged at the tree and slowly climbed to the highest branch he could-which was just out of reach from anything on the ground- and laid the carcass there. He jumped down from the limb and looked over the tree, getting it's looks in his memory. He would come back for it under the cover of darkness. Dragging the kill all the way back to Scar and the others would make him vulnerable to anything.
