Seaki: It had taken Chozi all morning to sneak out of the pride. He watched the guards closely, seeing a brief opening in the patrol before making his way out. He was still a bit miffed that Celes had gotten the guards to watch for him. He gave a triumphant wheeze as he made it far enough past the borders to relax. He gave a small yawn as he kept walking. He was looking for something specific today, shaking his body gently to free himself of the dampness the wetness from himself. He really wanted to see Tikoto, but he veered away from her home, changing his mind last minute. He could find what he was looking for elsewhere.

nessiaing: Sachiye was on a mission, she was sick and tired of the rogue lands. She wanted a home and a man to take care of her. She was angry at herself for spending so much time with the god. She had thought she would be able to sway him, to make him fall in love with her. But as it turned out she couldn't break his field of misturst.

So now the violet lioness was on her own again. She wasn't getting any younger and she really wanted to be somewhere that she could settle down. A place she could call home. Somewhere she would be taken care of. She let out a great sigh and plopped her butt down, she was going no where fast.

Seaki: Chozi kept walking, skulking about as he searched for new items. He was looking mostly for bone today, something to remind him of Mpenzi who had taken to wandering quite far and not coming back for months at a time. He missed her - his first baby that he raised on his own. It took him quite a bit further than he had expected. It didn't take him long, though, to see another come into view. A purple feline at that. "Hullo?" He called to the other, who was sitting. He thought she looked quite dejected.

nessiaing: Sachiye froze upon hearing the voice of another. She acasted her eyes across the horizan and saw a brown coloured... well she wasn't sure what he was but he had clearly spotted her and there was no escaping it.

She began to saunter over his way. Perhaps he would have information of prides near by. At very least he would likely know of a safe place to rest for the night. The afternoon sun was no longer blazing hot on her back and she knew that she would soon have to find somewhere to hunker down for the night. After all it wasn't safe for a dantiy female such as herself to be wondering aorund in the dark.

"Hello." she greeted the male kindly. Upon closer inspection she was still at a loss for his species but she thought it would be too rude to ask. "Are you from around here?" she asked instead.

Seaki: Chozi was quite pleased that she didn't respond violently towards him. He gave a kind smile in return, glancing around for a moment to see exactly where he was. "Not here, but my pride is not far," he told her. He hadn't been walking for very long after all. He needed to make it home before nightfall and he knew berger than to go very far in case he got really tired while walking. "I haven't seen you around here before.. " he told her, instead. "Just passing through? "

nessiaing: While studying the male Sachiye listened to the males words. When she heard mention of a pride her ears perked up. Perhaps she had just stummbled upon a male who was the answer to all her problems... or at least some of them. This male was frail and sick looking, perhaps there was a male in his pride that would care for her though.

"I am just passing through, but I do need somewhere to stay for the night. Do you mind terribly allowing me to stay in the pride for the night?" She added for the night part just incase. She wasn't sure that she would want to stay in the pride but he figured that staying there for the night would give her an idea if perhaps she might want to stay forever.

"Could you tell me more about your pride?" She asked before he could even tell her if she could stay the night or not.

Seaki: "You can't really tell from here," Chozi said "but the pride is located within the wetlands." He informed her. He was a bit worried that they would fave the guards upon return but they were mostly exasperated by his antics by now instead of being outright angry. "It's a nice place, really." He never told others it was a pride of hybrids. Why? It wasn't like hybrids were different than any others. "I'll show you," ge gestured. They could walk and talk. "We were hit with a drought recently, but we're recovering more every day." He hoped it meant for himself as well.

nessiaing: Sachiye fell instep beside the male. Her mind still trying to figure out what he was. She tried to study him, he had a tale and a mane like that of a lion. But he was lean and small like a cheetah. This whole thing was boggling her mind and she hadn't even reached the pride yet.

"I am glad you were able to recover." Sachiye thought back to her own birth place. It had been a wonderful pride from what she could remember but when hard times came it had fallen apart and eventually just diappated. Ever since then Sachiye had been searching for a place to call home, unfortunately the female had awfuly lofty needs.

"Are you sure that it will be alright for me to stay?" she asked. She wanted to find out what the pride was like to new comers. She was pretty sure they were getting closer infact she couldn't be sure but it looked like she could see guards coming their way.

Seaki: Chozi nodded. "As long as you're escorted out, you'll be fine." Chozi, after all, couldn't really afford to have more slaves than the three he had. Nanth and Casa helped raise his children, and Jurian helped with the hunting for the most part, but Slaves were a lot of work. Many of his children were slaves as well.

He realized that the statement was fairly omnious. "The pride is guarded really well," He told her after a moment. "We've had some trouble with outsiders, so those not part of the pride are watched pretty closely."

nessiaing: Sachiye foound herself a little worried but it was too late to turn around now. "That is understandable." she answered him simply. In truth more prides should be careful about who was allowed in and out but that wasn't what most pride's tended to focus on.

"Are those guards coming our way now?" she asked realizing that there were two others heading their way. She studied them as they moved they were species she did not recognize. She started to think perhaps this wasn't the place to stay. She looked to the male with a little hope in her eyes. Perhaps he would be able to handle it all.

Seaki:
Chozi gave her a small smile, "Just stay quiet, don't try to talk to them," he told her softly before turning to speak with them. He explained the situation siftly, murmuring to the guards who nodded and continued on their patrol.

He gave a soft breath, more of a wheeze really, and gestured for the lioness to follow him. "Alright, once we're inside, I'll bring you to my area, where you can spend the night. The, uh." He flinched a little. "The pride often takes non-hybrids in, so just stick close and you'll be fine..." He tried to assure her. She hadn't been the first one Chozi sheltered overnight. Once they arrived at the den, Chozi gave a soft hum as they arrived in his family's home where they would spend the night.
