Saidie gave a soft squeak as the other spotted her. She crouched on the tree branch and stared the older girl down a moment, trying to figure out if she was going to attack her and if Saidie needed to run away, or scream. After a moment though, she flickered her tail behind her and swallowed nervously before speaking. "I'm Nikusaidie... I don't have a mother anymore. She left a while ago." She explained eyeing the other cautiously again. The dark red female seemed so bold and strong, it intimidated Saidie a bit.
It was now Saidie wondered if perhaps she should have stayed with her escort, like he had told her to. Perhaps they hadn't been lying when they said the pride near by was dangerous. She only hoped the other young female didn't try to capture her or attack her, she really didn't want to have to admit to the escorts, and her brother, that he had been beaten or scared, or attacked.

Dreams, eh? Uzoma wondered if the little cub had true-dreams like her and her sisters did, but dismissed the thought out of hand. One tree looked much like another one, the cub had probably dreamed about a forest and upon waking thought it was this forest. But just in case... "Did you see me or anyone else in your dream?" she asked. "Or just a bunch of trees?"
"Aye," she said proudly, "we're real fierce and terrible! But only to boys and..." She trailed off a moment and closed her eyes, thinking of all the scouts and guards she had met. Flick. Flick. Flick. None of them were nearby. "... and none of the guards are here. But they'd hear me if I called," she added hastily, remembering that the rogue cub might not be alone. "Girls are all right. Mama Nkiru wasn't born here, but the queen let her stay and stuff. If you lost your ma... you can stay here if you like."

Saidie blinked at the bigger, dark red girl and then offered a soft, and a bit passive smile. "I won't cause trouble, I promise." She heard the others words though, they were mean to boys... like her brother and escort. That must have been why they didn't want her wandering off and hadn't exactly come after her yet. They were worried she might bring the attention of these lionesses who would attack them. As she realized the girl asked about her dreams she wrinkled her nose, thinking. "I don't remember exactly... I think I saw dark fur, but I couldn't tell you if it was yours or something else. It was just a dream. I get them a lot, they usually are of places, and then I find the place! It's pretty cool."
She then thought of something else. Stay here? She considered it, but had to shake her head, "I'm sure your pride is wonderful, but my mother insisted that I be taken to her sisters pride. Two of my siblings were taken by a couple who couldn't have their own babies and then my other sibling and I are heading to the... the... Drat! I can't remember their name.." She seemed to ponder the thought for a while. She was also careful to not mention her traveling sibling and escort were male, that would only cause problems for them, and if they found them, she might be kidnapped by this female dominated society. But she knew that would not be what her mother wanted. She just had a feeling her mother might be mad if she had to somehow rescue her and protect her brother. She didn't know how she might do it, it was just a feeling.
