She had been surprised to find Moto wandering around out in the rogue lands. Even more surprised at how easily the other female had agreed with her own views. After being away from her home land she knew that there were many others who had troubles with males but to find one willing to follow her? She was almost giddy with the idea.
She was on her way home, hopefully back to her clan and the female that she almost thought of as a mother. Moto'ini wasn't exactaly what Kichaa would usually enjoy having around, she was almost completely the wrong color except for the yellow on her tail, but she was strong and she was willing to hear what the pride had to say.
She could see the edges of the jungle and knew that she was almost home. "There will be guards around i'm sure. Hopefully someone will remember me and you wont have trouble getting through."
But even with that the female had given her hope. There was a pride of females where she thought she might be able to belong. One where she wouldn't have to serve some male and where she could be proud of her bright coat.
"So long as the guards aren't going to grumble that i'm shorter than you." She was stocky though and the other female had assured her that the strength she had wouldn't go unnoticed.

 She had, as of yet, been lurking in the between without notice. It was a strange place to linger in, neither here nor there. She knew, of course, of the groups that populated these lands... Light on one side, dark on the other, leaving her stuck in the middle. One wouldn't accept her as she was. The other?
Well, she wasn't certain how one went about getting into that other. There seemed to be sentries guarding the fort. Teeth and claws and masses of muscle, not all things that she could hold her own against in more than a one on one situation. Her strength was in her mind and her mind was telling her to think. Think, think, think...
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of voices as she crouched down, waiting to see what this wave would bring.

"I doubt it. You've got enough muscle on you that you should be fine." she nodded as she continued on. Moto needed to stop the short thing. Sure she was shorter but the lioness was built like a tank.
She paused as she heard rustling grass and looked out over their surroundings. "Hiding in the grass hardly ever gets you anything other than attacked for being sneaky you know."
She raised a brow as Jini spoke out to someone else who was out there, or just something she thought was out there. She doubted she would have called out to whatever was waiting in the grass until she knew what it was.

"I wasn't hiding..." She murmured as she pushed herself up onto her feet, violet eyes gleaming as she gazed upon the two females. "I was watching... Waiting, really." A smirk curved her lips as she eyed them. "I can tell already which side of the line the two of you walk on. You're headed in, aren't you."

"You ducked out of sight. That's hiding in a way." She smirked slightly. "cautious, and intelligent given the circumstances though" This lioness was close enough to the pride lands that she could get in trouble if she wasn't careful.
"Is there a reason you've straied this close?"

"I did not make it this far by being a fool." Her own smirk seemed to broaden slightly. "Answer my question and I will answer yours... You are heading in, are you not?" She was, of course, fully aware that they would have no problems taking her, their numbers and size combined outweighing her own. That would not, however, keep her from being curious if this was her chance.

"We are." She nodded. "I am hoping that Kichaa has returned and that i can speak to here again ... and Moto wanted to come see for herself."
She wondered if this lioness too was curious about the pride. Generally those who hung about the area at least knew something and were quick to leave if it was not their thing.
She sat down on her haunches and watched the two. She wasn't in the mood for idle chatter and wanted to be on her way

"I want in." She said simply, knowing that there was no reason to beat around the bush. It spoke louder than she believed 'take me with you' would have because she didn't care whether or not she went in with them or with another. She just wanted to see this place where all the color came and went from; to have a chance to learn more about it and explore if this was, indeed, a place that she could call home, knowing well enough that the other side of this unclaimed stretch of land was not such a place.

She raised a brow at that. If the lioness wanted in so bad why nto just go talk to a guard? No matter. "If you'd like to come with Moto and i you can i suppose .. no harm in it."
So long as whoever was Queen at the moment hadn't decided to change some rule about letting others inside.

She nodded slowly as she straightened out further, letting her body stretch before pulling herself back together. That was, surprisingly, easier than she'd thought it would be. "How close can you get before they come to stop you?" Her brow lofted slightly as she glanced at the other two.

"At least to the guards. I am from here so as long as someone who knows me is still around i will have no trouble getting in. And neither should either of you, even if it's just to look around and see if you want to stay."

"Mm." She supposed that was good... As long as things hadn't changed too much in these parts since last the other had been here. "... How long have you been gone now?"

"Forgive me," she dipped her head to Jini, "I do not remember your name, but the mark upon your forehead would name you as one of Kichaa's clan." Her eyes swept across the other two, studying each briefly in turn. Short, but muscled and strong to make up for it, and bright enough to put a number of the Kunanda ladies to shame. The other was bright, and of a color she no doubt suspected would appeal to Kichaa's tastes. "And you two are, no doubt, rogues." With that statement, she let her attention revert to Jini once more, eyes resting on the lioness calmly as she stood before her.

She was slightly surprised to see someone she only had memories of as a youngster. "I really have been gone too long. Look how you've grown." She laughed softly as she looked over the blue lioness. "Jini'Koza, and yes i would be .... has she returned?"
She had hoped to hear news of her clan leader and that she was well. Kichaa had been sent out of the pride too but there was always the worry that she had caught the plague before hand. She spared a glance at the cub for a moment before looking back to the other adult.
"Both asked me to bring them with me. I thought they could find good homes here"
She nodded her head at the lionesses words. Jini had been right. She was shorter compared to his lioness too but the blue female hadn't given her an odd look when she'd seen her so that was a good sign. Maybe she would fit in well enough here that she could call the pride home

She nodded once as well before stilling herself, determined to listen and learn as much as she could from this moment onward. The conversation between the two, purple and blue, could easily direct her fate from here on out. Although her pulse was thumping her body remained steady, eyes observant of everything including the cub that had followed after its mother.
