[BORDER PRP] Round Trip [Kurago x Tiah x Dia]

[Pandorus Sphinx]

Dia had gone back to the Outlands border to see Tiah again. It was becoming a weekly thing for the pale male as he found her company to be very therapeutic. They were able to talk to each other about all the emotional issues they felt and have a good time doing it. It was just what Dia needed in his life, to be honest. Someone he could trust in and enjoy the company of. It felt pretty real for him, the small relationship the two were growing. He was hoping to see her again so when he left his new friend he had forgotten to say goodbye.

Dia didn't think he would be followed all the way back here.

"Tiah?" He called out with a smile. She had to be around here somewhere.  

[Pandorus Sphinx]

Tiah had been walking up and down the border waiting for Dia to arrive. She was eager to talk to him about her conversation with her grandmother, it had been a very informative talk after all and she couldn't wait to share. She felt a lot of joy at the moment and though the feeling could be fleeting she refused to let it escape her, not until she saw him again. Her crimson eyes narrowed on the horizon as a familiar voice called out. Quickly she found herself turning around to face it, running wuickly in the direction that it came from.

She needed to see him again. She needed to...

Before the rusty lioness could stop she found herself crossing paths with a different male this time, a larger male with striking blue markings. She froze. He had caught her completely off guard. Who was this stranger? Why did he smell like Dia?

... Had he harmed Dia? The lioness snarled and moved herself back some before calling out.

"Who the hell are you? Where is Dia?"  

[Pandorus Sphinx]

Lucky for the both of them Dia was close and in no time at all found himself stuck between the female he fancied and his new friend. He quickly jumped inbtween thee two before blood could be drawn and spoke out with a very winded sigh.

"Hey, hey! Everything is fine, no one hurt me. I'm here." As he spoke he stood in front of Tiah and faced Kurago, smiling brightly as he chuckled and spoke.

"You came all the way out here for me? You're insane." Dia really did enjoy Kurago's spirit.  

[Pandorus Sphinx]

Tiah felt on edge as she stood firmly behind Dia now. Her eyes never left Kurago's figure though, she had no idea who this male was after all. She did feel a little better seeing Dia respond to him so openly and friendly. Maybe for now she could allow herself to relax a little. Her eyes narrowed as she spoke out.

"What's going on here, Dia?" She was confused and she didn't like it at all. Why was this male following Dia? What did he want? She snarled under a sigh and sat back, allowing the two males to engage in a personal conversation.  

[Pandorus Sphinx]

"Kurago, this is Tiah." As he spoke he gave his friend a nudge, as if to remind him of the girl he had spoken about before. His purple gaze settled on the both of them as he sat himself down and smiled. It was so nice having them here together like this.

"Tiah, this is Kurago. He's a friend of mine and is no trouble at all." He wanted to make sure she knew that he wasn't going to bring any drama here, at least he knew his friend better than that.  

[Pandorus Sphinx]

"Kurago." She repeated slowly. Interesting. His colors were very flamboyant but he seemed well over all. She sat herself down beside the two males and looked them both over with a cheeky grin.

"So, you guys are friends." She wanted to help cut the silence. Her red eyes drifted off toward the landscape before them before she spoke again.

"So what brings you so far out here? Did you come just to find Dia?" Or had he come for another reason?  

[Pandorus Sphinx]

Oh boy, Kurago was as crazy as ever. Still, he was shaping up to be a very loyal friend. This made the pale lion happy. Having other companions was never a bad thing and the bright orange lion kept things exciting. He was so eccentric and full of mystery.

"So, I'm really that helpless to you?" Dia couldn't help but laugh, in truth he had no idea what Kurago though of him, but he was starting to get a better picture talking to him like this. It was pretty endearing to say the least. It was nice feeling like he cared.

"Oh, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me being here or harmed. Tiah's got my back."

As he spoke he smiled at the rusty female beside him. He felt a pace in this moment, having his best friend and the female he liked sitting so closely together. It was like both of his worlds had begun colliding into one another for the first time ever, the experience was interesting to say the least.

He wasn't sure if Kurago remembered how he met Dia in the first place. Dancing over his overwhelming emotions about a female he fancied. Well, that female was sitting here now. He hoped the orange male could put the pieces together.  

[Pandorus Sphinx]

As the two males spoke the rusty colored lioness sat back and listened, both ears propped and alert. She wasn't sure she understood all of it, most of it had nothing to do with her, but still she listened. It was nice seeing Dia this way, he seemed so relaxed talking to Kurago again. Her red eyes narrowed as she smirked under a small sigh.

"Sure." She rolled her eyes at Dia's comment. Yes, she was here and would protect him while he learned the lay of the land, but at some point he was going to have to learn to take care of himself. She wasn't always going to be able to be his shield.

"Kurago-" She interjected.

"Will you be staying long?" The question was harmless. She just was trying to figure out a timeline for this little randevu. She needed to meet with Sia soon.

"If you two are going to catch up I might head off, I have a few things I need to take care of. Family matters, you know how they can be."
