Only one day after she met Tompa, and Ayaukuhime was filled with butterflies. She'd always dreamed of meeting her prince charming, but she'd practically given up hope. She was an older (not elderly, don't dare mistake her for that old) lioness now and the love bug had never struck her - but here it was, full-fledged and flittering about in her tummy.
They had agreed to meet up at the mother tree as they had the day before, and Ayaukuhime was looking forward to it for more than one reason. As a cub sitter within the pride, her main job was to look after the Na'vi cubs. Unfortunately, there had been a bit of a draught of new blood within the pride, so much of the lioness' days had been left blank, with nothing to do but assist others in their jobs. Helping Tompa clear the base of the home tree put her to good use - she loved knowing she was actually contributing to the pride she called home.
Now, Ayaukuhime paced back and forth at the base of the mother tree, anxiously flicking her tail. She knew he'd keep his word and show, but a small part of her was concerned that she wasn't enough to keep Tompa's attention. A girl could only hope.

Ayaukuhime, ever lost in her thoughts, had not noticed the clumsy, bumbling lion she was waiting on make his way down the mother tree. It wasn't until she heard the weight of his body fall through the home tree that she looked up, just in time to see the bright green of his mane land in front of her feet. She immediately jumped back, slightly frightened, until she realized it was just Tompa, making his way to their date.
Once she recognized who he was, the lioness dissolved into giggles. "Oh, Tompa," she said, walking forward again. "Please tell me you're quite alright, I didn't need you to be on time that badly," Ayaukuhime said with a laugh.

As he stood up, Ayaukuhime took notice - Tompa looked rough. Dirt was smeared all over his body - particularly his face - and he looked a bit wobbly in his effort to stand before her. "Nervous?" she laughed, moving closer and gently using one of her paws to wipe away a bit of the dirt off his face, which she could see was impairing his vision. "You need not be nervous around me, Tompa," she smiled and backed away, giving him some space. Ayaukuhime noted internally that he used a nickname for her, which was a very nice feeling indeed.
"How does finding some water to wash off sound? I know I could use a bath, I don't know about you," she said playfully, sarcastically. Of course he could use a cleaning, but she wasn't going to continue doting over his face. They were still too new to each other for that to go down, but perhaps they could get clean together. That sounded like a good idea. Besides, he was going to have a lot of trouble operating with only one good eye.

Ayaukuhime watched as he tried once more to wipe his face, instead only succeeding in smearing the dirt and grime even further. She smiled, listening to his breathy explanation, and nodded along. "You're really sweet, you know that?" she said as she followed his path along to the nearest water. She wasn't doing much thinking about the way they were walking, just ruminating on how incredible the lion beside her was.
"You make me nervous, too, I just think I hide it a bit better," she said, glancing over at him and then pointedly averting her eyes. In all her dreams of meeting the perfect man, she hadn't expected it to be like this - all messy and bashful and exhilarating. But it was. And she was glad to be here for it.
Soon enough they reached the water and Ayaukuhime decided to take a dip first - she wasn't going to let him deal with the water alone. It wasn't her favorite, but it always felt so refreshing. "Don't be shy, time to wash your face, silly," she said with a laugh.

Ayaukuhime smiled serenely, happy to be in Tompa's presence, regardless of how foolish the one or both of them looked. He made her joyful, sheepishness be damned.
She climbed down into the water with him and sighed as she entered the cool liquid. It felt so refreshing, always. It wasn't her favorite - splashing around in the water - but it certainly felt good. At Tompa's words, Ayaukuhime laughed at him. "A cub? Oh, never, Tompa," she said, shaking her head. At his next comment, she flicked and ear and cocked her head. "You've never done what stuff before? I'm not so sure what you mean." She thought he meant, well, flirtation with the other sex, but she couldn't be so sure. He was still a bit of a mystery to her, this bashful Priest.
