Not too long had passed since Uidan Fyja had last met the little lioness who fell in a ditch. He'd freed her, though his tail would likely bare scars from the incident, and they had become...well not friends, per say, but they eventually got a long well enough. Even if he did think she was rude and impatient and sometimes bossy. She obviously had thought he was stupid and slow, or something, so it balanced out.
He'd had a time keeping the treasures they had unearthed from his siblings, but had done alright. Sadly, they had finally gotten hold of the ancient hide he'd been keeping and torn it to bits in moments. Ah well. He still had the beads and the shell.
He realized he was concerned about when he would have to return the items. Sure, the chances of never seeing the cub again were pretty high, but what if? He'd returned to the ditch today to dig about some more. Thankfully the vine was still in place, and it seemed strong enough. He slithered down, and was elbow-deep in the muck in a few moments.

It would have made sense for Amira to be out here all things considered, so long as you did know all of the things to take them into consideration to begin with. She wasn't, though. She'd actually returned to keep digging, in the hopes there was something she could gift to the lioness from earlier to calm her anger. It was something she would grow out of, and soon at that, but for now Amira held the common idealistic view of the world that problems in her family spawned long before she was could be fixed with presents.
Hopefully, just present, because it was getting late, kind of cold out and if Mom found out she'd snuck away she'd be in sooo much trouble. As it was she was banking on Tabia not ratting on her. If anyone realized before she got back, it would be her sister. A sister who was none too happy during their last conversation.
"Ah ha!" Amira clung to the vine and slid down. Before she'd been hesitant, afraid even, of just running up and down this thing. Not so much anymore. "Let's seeee--"
Oh!
"Hey, it's you!"

Fyja stared, hearing the sudden sound of one clawing into the pit and then moving up behind him. He shot a look back over his shoulder and froze. Her? Here? NOW? But he hadn't dug anything up yet...
He turned fully and nodded. It was...good to see Amira again, he supposed. She wasn't that bad a cub, and she had been rather fun towards the end of their last meeting. Still, it was rather unexpected to see her again, in the same place, in only so many days.
He blinked then, remembering why he'd been here. "Ah. I'm sorry. My siblings tore up the hide." He explained flatly.

Amira had no time to waste. Her family was fast paced and if she was gone too long, she'd come back to a herd of new cubs, someone dead, a war, or something like that. Seriously!
"A what? Okay." Agreeing with adults was a good method of getting them to stop blabbing about whatever they were saying. She never knew, and she didn't know what Fyja was talking about. He acted like some adults she knew on top of that. So the methods for them only made sense to use on him. How grand her logic.
"Okay," the cub said again, just to make sure he realized she was fine with it (whatever it was). Back to the place she'd been digging before, and she dug again. There had to be something.
"How have you been?"

Fyja stepped back and watched in a mix of amusement and concern as Amira flew at the pile of dirt. Her posture was tense, he noticed, though she sounded fine.
Oh, she was alright with him losing the hide. But she'd been almost angry when he'd tossed it aside before...She wasn't listening to him. A twinge of annoyance flicked over his brow, but he sighed it off and sat.
"I've been fine. You seem rather rushed....can I help?"
Looks like he would have to actually be painfully obvious in his speech, wouldn't he? Silly girl, still deaf to the subtleties he used.

Amira may or may not have improved her listening skills by time she answered him. If she did answer him. Maybe she was giving him permission some way, or maybe she'd thought he'd asked something differently. "I'm looking for a present for my aunt. She's crazy and wants to kill us all."
Complex problems could be explained in a very simple way when Amira was doing the talking.

...Oookay. Somehow Fyja understood. It had taken him a while, but he'd started to understand how to listen to Amira. Of course, that didn't make him any less upset about the whole thing.
If the lioness had been paying any attention to Fyja she'd have seen a look of mixed confusion and terror run over his face. "A...present?" For an aunt. That wanted to kill her. Defensive already of his friend, he bristled and nudged her a bit. "You think it will help?"

Amira took her paw and very gently thwaped him in the face, never pausing in her digging with the other. "Well duh, of course. When was the last time you got a present and weren't happy?" Crazy people were only crazy because they were all mad and stuff. Made sense to her. "She'll be happy, and stop being crazy. What're you doing out here?"

Fyja watched her paw approach, and touch his face. What...? Well yeah, he liked getting presents, but crazy was crazy sometimes. He sighed. He'd have to go with her after all. "I was looking for something to replace the pelt." He stated plainly. "Since it's your turn to take these things."

Out here to...?
Her eyes widened a bit, then she laughed. "Oh, really?" She hadn't expected that. Back to work! Good thing she was good at multi-tasking, else she'd have never been able to social with someone between all the digging. "You should keep them a little longer. I wouldn't want them to get destroyed on my journey. Finding her is probably gonna take a while."

Somehow it seemed odd that Amira still wanted him to keep these things. They were her treasures after all. A thought occurred to him then, and the shrugged the necklace off and scooped it up in his mouth. He tapped her with a paw and offered it up. "You could give her this?"

Amira tilted her head and wiggled her paw under the jewelry, manuvering it around her own neck for added sound effect when she kept digging. "That's true. But I think she'll probably need something super special. She's really mad. My cousin and my aunt were like rawr rawr rawr!"

"Mmm..." Well if she insisted. Still Fyja was glad he'd been of some use. Still it didn't make much sense...He'd been shuffling about in place while waiting and watching Amira, and now he realized that...somehow...the dirt felt wrong. He looked down. Something shiny? "...?" He bent and nudged at it, trying to see what it was. Maybe this was something like she wanted.

Amira had found a rock. She discarded it to the side with the others grudgingly. Had they cleaned the place out from everything but rocks? She could find rocks anywhere!
"Hey, what did you find?" He looked pretty into his digging all the sudden.

"Not sure yet..." He scrabbled at it a bit more, then tugged it up. It was a rock after all...but half of it was broken away, and looking at it that way revealed the 'rock' layer was very thin...inside it was something else, sparkly and clear. Fyja thought that it looked like water, if water was a rock. It certainly was pretty though, and different. "This good?"
