"Uh, yeah," Avahk told the lioness. "I'm from the Mwezi'Johari pride, it's over that way." He jerked his head in the appropriate direction. "Technically, you're already inside the borders here, but not by that much. So, uh, welcome!"
He wasn't usually in this position, talking to a rogue who had no idea there was a pride around. Actually, he'd never been in this situation at all before! It was a completely new experience, and the grey lion had no real idea what he was doing.
"Where are you from?"

S'chor blinked as she considered what the grey lion had said. She wasn't sure how to explain the way of life she'd known in just a few short sentences, the way he had. But she'd have to try.
"Um. We live in the swamps. There are no classes, just lions and the vijini - spirits. The spirits are capricious and willful. A god could direct them, but mere mortals can only ask of them and hope they will be inclined towards us." She wondered if she should add something about the pilgrimage she was on, but wasn't sure.
"I have never heard of the Great Lion," she went on. "Is he a god? We also pray to Mama Asali, the Goddess of Swamps. She can command the vijini," the black lioness added, reminding the stranger that the spirits were, in a way, between mortals and gods.
