Faina knew exactly where she was and exactly who she was looking for- and exactly what to expect when she came face to face with the idiot again. She wasn't stupid but she was stubborn. Joining a pride was unexpected but they were welcoming to outsiders and so she had an easy time getting the opportunity to walk around. She had denied the offer of a guide though she knew she was being kept an eye on, as would be the case in any good pride, of course, even when she was small enough she'd have a hard time causing any major trouble.
The main thing Faina didn't know was exactly where she needed to go now that she was in the right area. Had she accepted a guide and explained her full purpose, she might have had an easier time but she was happy to walk around. This was an interesting pride.
