[PRP] Some flirty fun (Asker x Opal)

Veli was hard to pin down, but this was nothing new. In the pride she had few friends and any individuals she would consider close were fewer still. If the thief was upset by any of this she hardly showed it. When she did interact with those she was acquainted with, Veli's compatriots seemed astounded that the lioness was still bound to the pride at all. Most of these statements seemed a sort of poking fun, though. There was nowhere else the lioness could imagine herself being.

When asked she would say that she wasn't interested in love. The idea of settling down felt nauseating at best. All in all, she preferred not to think of it. She was happy as she was and wouldn't want her life to be any different.

The lioness flicked her head upwards as she trotted in to the pride borders. She had been to the coast in the south. Saltwater caked her fur and her blonde hair fell around her face. An effervescent smile touched her face. She had been out thieving and had only recently returned to the pride lands. It was a decent enough venture and she was happy to be home, but part of her was itching to leave again. Veli shook the thoughts of leaving from her mind, if only for the moment. These lands were beautiful. What harm would there be in taking a little time to enjoy it?

She had only just decided to stay when the shape of a lion appeared to her. The unexpected company drew her steps to a halt. A toothy smile remained spread onto her maw and a shake of her head tossed her hair out of her face. Opal shifted her weight beneath her, rolling her shoulders in a stretch before fixing her red eyes on her companion.

"Asker," she greeted, giving a little dip of the head as she did so. At his question she beamed, pulling a small decorative pelt from its resting place on her shoulder. It was in nice condition with metal clasp decorations, clearly quite a prize. "I pulled this from a sleeping lion a little ways away. I venture to think he was some sort of collector..." her voice trailed off and he gave another shrug.

"And how have things been going here?" Her tail twitched. It had been a long while since she had been back and, while she thoroughly enjoyed her time outside the pride, she felt like she was missing out on the adventures of her pride-mates. Perhaps that was adding to her drive to stay around for a little while. She had seen a range of places and met a number of characters, but through it all she couldn't help but feel a little lonely and homesick.

"Oh, perhaps," Opal mused in return. She wasn't particularly a fan of the idle talk. It lost her interest quickly.

The lioness blinked at the mention of festivities. "I can't say that I have. Been gone too long, I guess," she responded with a smile. Her shoulder rolled and she glanced over the lands. The lioness was getting antsy. Too long just standing around just talking. She wanted something a bit more... exciting.

The black and blue lioness stretched her legs out before her, tilting her head to the side and meeting Asker with low-lidded, red eyes. "It's an exciting world out there, it's hard to tie myself down to the pride. But I've been away for so long, I figure it's time to hang out here for a while. So tell me, dear Cold Fire, what entertainment is there around here nowadays?" She did hope that he'd be able to keep her entertained. Maybe with his company, if nothing else. Though she had been gone, Opal held an appreciation for her pridemates. They were different and had great potential for intrigue.

"Well at least things haven't gotten boring around here," Opal returned with a grin. "It's hard to find a reason to stick around when nothing is happening. It's a shame, really. There's so much potential for excitement, and yet..." She paused for thought. And yet, things here didn't seem to live up to the excitement that could be found outside the pride lands.

"And it's good to hear you've been venturing!" The restlessness had gotten to her and Opal began to move about. Her words came with a gentle bump of the hip against Asker. A playful motion.

"Most exciting thing out there?" She started, a brow raising. "I... I met pirates once! Nasty things. Foul-mouthed and reeking of fermented fruits." Her nose wrinkled. "There were big groups of 'em. Hoarding all this treasure, and thirsty for more. Luckily they were dumb enough to not notice me pinching a bit for myself." She winked at him, continuing to move fluidly around him in circles.
