She liked to smile for no reason and she liked to cry when she was alone. Tuu was a very sweet little thing, pure in heart and words... she-- she just needed someone to be with, talk to. She didn't like to be alone, she was so very emotional after all. Her sweet face matched her soft tone... but what was the use if no one ever heard her speak? Tuu didn't want to be like a flower in the basement, she wanted to bloom.
Standing very still the lioness sighed and sat down, looking around the open lands every now and then.

 The earth still felt warm as he walked toward the open plains, the wind stopping soon after his approach. He would rest here for tonight as the wind obviously wished him to do so. Teal eyes searching the area through dark brown bangs, it seemed peaceful here. He could finally relax and tend to his herbs and art after his long time chase with the wind. Closing his eyes he twitched his ears and smiled. Yes, the land here did give off a good vibe.
Following a path down toward one of the trees that dotted the land Tandu noticed a smell in the earth, of bloody and fur, of feminine birth. There was a lioness nearby. Did the wind wish for him to meet this female? Lifting his head up over the grasses teal eyes scanned over the area before spotting the female close by. She seemed stiff and in her own thought, which, from what it looked to him, were not exactly the most comforting.
Veering off the path towards the tree his bulky body maneuvered through the grasses towards the lioness, he had to see her at least once. The wind brought him to her after all. “The mind can be the worst prison…” His voice was rich and thick as he popped his brown head out of the grasses, moving toward her. “What has brought you to be a prisoner of it?” He eyed her, watching to see what she might say or do next.

"The mind?"
Her face snapped up as the male neared her, and with a soft smile, though forced she gave him a nob and lifted her face to a still; she didn't understand him at first, but... she knew what he was trying to say. She did look pretty upset after all. With a deep sigh she glanced at him and took in his size and shape before speaking.
"Fear, I would guess."
She spoke out, truthful but wary.
"Fear can be one hell of con man, making it's way in without warning."

A low rumbling 'Mmmmm' came from his throat at her comment as well as nod of his head. Yes, he knew fear well and it was something that could never be expected but always managed to show up. What had brought fear to the lioness though? She was in such a beautiful place and yet she felt fear. It was quite the paradox to him.
"What is causing you fear?" Sitting down next to her to looked out towards the plains, the sun was still in the sky, but he knew soon it would fall to sleep. It would be beautiful to see it fall in the grasslands, lighting up everything with beautiful color before darkening into night. Moving his head slightly to look at her he smiled. "This place doesn't feel dark to me... " A soft breeze fluttered by, not his breeze this time thankfully as he had been chasing his for several days now.

"No, this place isn't dark, but, I guess it's like- like the fear of the unknown? What will come tomorrow? That kind of thing."
She nodded as she spoke to him, her thing frame curled as she sat down and looked over at him with her dull eyes; face sweet but- something was off, something in the way her held herself seemed so... so strange. As if she wasn't... all there.
"Sorry for my rambling, though. I feel like a fool."

Tandu frowned, he did understand what she meant now. The unease of not knowing where you would be tomorrow, who you might meet, if you might die. It was terrible and he lived with it everyday, that pain of the unknown. Looking her over he couldn't help but notice her face. It was dead to him. Eying her curiously he moved closer to her before frowning further. "Don't die in a shell... You still need to hatch." Watching for a reaction he wondered what was eating at her so hard. It was as if a million grasshoppers were eating at her insides.
"....and I don't mind. Ramble on, I want to help you. My name is Tandu and it is a pleasure to meet you..." He looked at her, attempting to bring a name out of her. Maybe she would even talk with him for a little bit.

At his words she narrowed her eyes and gazed at him with a puzzled look, a soft frown formed along the edges of her maw as she sat down in front of him and spoke out, unable to say what she wanted to, she spoke her name instead.
"Tuu. They call me Tuu."
She felt pretty silly now, unable to really respond to his pretty words and artistic ways.
"Why would you want to help someone you hardly know?"
She questioned him, her tone light as if speaking so softly that only he could hear.

"Tuu" His voice made a soft rumbling sound as he nodded his approval at her name. It was unique and easy to say, which was always a plus for him.
As he waited for her to speak he couldn't help but notice the narrowed eyes and puzzled look. Had he upset her in some way, maybe pressed to hard into questioning her predicament? A line slowly started to form on his maw at the thought. No, he was just being caring, there was nothing wrong with caring about another creature. Right?
Looking back up at her he stared. Did he get that right? Did she just ask him why he would help a stranger? Staring at her with his bright teal eyes he was speechless. Did the poor girl standing in front of him not know what kindness was? He felt his heart ache at the thought of her question.
"There shouldn't be a reason why."
With that he threw himself onto the grassy floor, smiling as the scent of the earth pulled into his nose. She seemed like a nice girl, even if she asked odd questions.

His ways were strange to her, but she enjoyed them none the less. Her eyes narrowed as she watched him roll around like a cub would, her paws side by side. True, she wasn't use to his kindness, but she could learn to be, if she had to. She must have looked rather silly asking the thing she did. Tiling her head to the side she blushed slightly and spoke out, nodding.
"I guess so."
She didn't mind him rolling around, in fact, he looked really happy. She envied that.

Teal eyes glittered up at Tuu, watching her as his body rocked back and forth. It felt so damn good to release the knots in his back after a long hard journey. “Why don’t you join in instead of just sitting there? I promise it will do wonders for your back, and it is rather fun.” He grinned, motioning towards a spot next to him. It wasn’t like there was anyone else watching them so even if she looked funny doing it, no one else would know. Hell, it might even make her smile correctly, maybe even laugh.
If there was one thing that Tandu couldn’t stand it was depression. He had lived around his mother who was plagued by it ever since his brother Kanda left the pride. Soon after, she disappeared as well. The thought of them both sent a chill down his spine. All he wanted to do was find her and maybe him as well.
Sighing lightly he stopped rocking for a moment and stared up at the sky. Yeah, he was depressed, but that wouldn’t stop him from continuing his journey. Everything would work out in the end. He knew it deep down in his heart.
“Are you searching for something?” Maybe she was like him, searching for her place to call her own.

She glanced at him and rolled her shoulders, looking back up as she took her sight elsewhere for a while, though she spoke to him, she looked away.
"I may join you in a while."
She chuckled.
"And I am searching, yes."
She answered his next question rather quickly, smirking to herself, as if she felt silly for being able to be so... well, readable. She was like an open book with how she wore her emotions on her face for all to see and pity. She frowned, though made sure to hide it from him.
"Searching for myself."
She added with an smile and looked down at him, her tone sweet. She was looking for peace. Looking for life- a new life.

"Ok" He said lightly, watching her stare in a different direction entirely. Had he upset her in some way? Chewing at his cheek lightly he watched he before finally staring upward at the sky. It was a peaceful blue, like the waters of the sea. Hell it made him want to go see it instead of just imagining what it may look like.
Looking back at her Tandu stared. Searching for herself... It sounded like such a painful search but he knew how she felt. He was looking as well.
"When you find her, I hope she is everything you ever wanted to be." Light and distant his voice was as he spoke. He wanted the same for himself, for his wind to drop him off somewhere amazing and for him to figure out who he really was. he was beginning to have an idea though...
"We seem to be looking for the same thing, it is rather strange in a way." Smiling weakly at her a frown made its way on his features. How very concerning it was, having her appear on his journey as she had. Was the wind trying to tell him something by their meeting?
