P winter sucks

One saving grace of the rainforest was the humidity to keep some warmth in, though it was little use against the torrential rainfall. His breath snaked from his partially opened jaws in plumes of vapor. His ears had gotten used to the sound of heavy drops of rain pound against the broad leaves and trees of his chosen home. Though he might've chosen somewhere with plenty of caves for the winter, hindsight is 20/20. Instead, he had to fashion a den from branches, rock, and broad leaves to have anything remotely dry to reside in. Runar was hoping to run into some new faces or to find something to eat.

Matthias actually quite liked the rainforest, which surprised even himself. Though he had camouflage advantage in the colder areas, the man preferred the warmth and good covering that the rainforest provided.

Rain is just nature's national shower. He was not hiding in his den or scrambling for cover, but searching around for the best spot to take his heavenly shower. The water poured down and pooled together upon the broad leaves of the trees, falling down in clumps as the weight of the water finally caused the leaves to falter. He was searching for the perfect patch of leaves that would all be angled downwards already, so that the water would come down in multiple little streams and land upon him. It was not enough that they would just fall in trickles around him, or the occasional pond-fall. No no, he needed something steady.

It was along his journey that he scented the familiar smell of a man he'd met rather recently. Oh, that new King dude! Did I cross the border? it was possible that the rain had washed away the scent markers; surely the man would understand it wasn't on purpose, if he did.

He followed the scent, the rain making the ordeal more difficult than normal, until it no longer mattered that he did. He'd spotted the man a few yards away, nearly hidden amongst the thick undergrowth and low-hanging branches, and strided forward.

“I come in peace,” he said casually, a cheerful tone hidden underneath the words. His head remained high in self-confidence, a smile--almost mischievous--faintly revealed on his face. But he kept his tail lowered, and kept an otherwise restrained and respectful posture. Despite how dismissively he treated the man before, Matthias wasn't a guy to disrespect another (on purpose) if they didn't deserve it, “How do you fair?”

The sheets of rain would eventually bestow a somewhat familiar face. His shape distorted but definitely there. Perhaps the most amusing thing about lions with full manes is they often looked drowned when it rained. The striped emperor’s fur was slicked with the weather, and the long tendrils of his red mane draped over his shoulders. The other male’s voice cut through the pounding rain as he came into focus the closer he got. ”I should hope so.” He would answer, a small smirk blossoming on his pale masked face. ”Other than drenched, I’m fine. You?”

“Embrace the rain, man. It's nature's shower,” he commented matter-of-factly, deciding then to take a seat, tail turling loosely around his limbs, “I'm using this time to clean the harder to reach places. I just stopped by 'cause I just so happened to have picked up on your scent. Am I trespassing?” Matthias didn't sound particularly concerned. It was more a question out of curiosity than caution. He found no fault in his actions, “So, I'm kind of curious. Why'd you decide to make a pride of your own? And why the rainforest specifically?” not that the rainforest was a bad choice; just that he wanted to know why the rainforest, out of every place else within the surrounding mountains.

"If I had a problem with the rain, I wouldn't have chosen the rainforest as my home." He would respond, ensuring there was amusement in his tones so the male would not assume him to be angry instead. The other would continue talking, speaking of hard to reach places which Runar could respond to say any lake or river would do just the same. He opted not to. "No, you're not trespassing. This area is outside my boundaries." He would state with ease. "Power has its allure. I would prefer to make my own paradise versus trying to fit it into someone else's vision. Does that make sense?" He would both answer and ask, tongue snaking out to catch some of the drops of water falling from his muzzle. A fruitless action, it was raining and rivets of water ran over his body regardless. "The rainforest is most like where I was born, the familiarity is appealing."

Despite not really caring, it was still relieving to know he was not within the borders, glad to know he could continue exploring freely for a while longer. Although, knowing that, he had to wonder what the man was doing outside his own borders. He decided it wasn't truly worth asking. “Not really,” the man responded to Runar's question honestly, “but I think I kind of got the jist of it.” Matthias backs away to shake his pelt, and plucks out an annoying pebble between the toes of his right forepaw.

“You and I should hang out sometime, when it's not so wet and cold,” it's a casual invitation at a chance to form a friendship. Matthias was not so keen on wandering alone forever, and he voiced those exact words to the striped man, “I'd much rather prefer to surround myself with others,” he added. Then, finally, a question: “How about as soon as the rain stops? I'll stick around the rainforest, and you can just call for me. I got something in mind for us.”

If Runar accepts, you can just respond with him saying yes and do a timeskip to him calling for Matt, if you're okay with that.
