A word on the wind was there was a typical lion type pride that lurked in the vast reaches of the Savannah and the silver colored male was wanting to mostly prove himself to his mother and be a 'man's man' as he liked to call it. She was a typical female, quite bossy and very sure of what she wanted for herself and her only son.
So really he was doing this for himself and his mother, she was very much interested in this female dominated land and felt like it would be a good enough fit for the pair of them. Should her son prove he was able to hold his own against the males that held the position of keeping strangers at bay. Enough lions they had met in their travels that told the rules of the places so he wasn't completely unaware of what was expected of him once he joined.
His mother figured it would be good for him to learn that kind of humbleness, be at the beck and call of someone not family and also have to show his ability to defend their home on a constant basis. Thus here he was, seeking out one of the Inselelo's that guarded the boarder.
Grey locks danced in the wind as pale gaze finally locked on a figure, it was a very interesting marked male, he wouldn't be able to forget him if he tried. The coloration and the wing markings were so unique he definitely stood out in a crowd.
Now he just had to get close enough to declare his intentions.
