SASKIRANEL
Home at last. It was good to finally return. She hadn't wanted to leave the pride, especially not after the disaster so recently weathered, but when Queen Nawiri had granted the Apothecary permission to go abroad hunting plants, someone had had to go with him. And that duty had fallen to her, as one of the few immune among the remaining Guards. Try as she might, the lioness couldn't argue against fulfilling her duty to her pride in this way.
And there was the fact that Mel's herbs weren't just for those stricken by the plague, but for any who needed healing. She'd even had some used on her, during their journey, and that experience had erased the last of her scorn for the Apothecary's art.
Her scorn for his work might be gone, but he still talked too much. The lioness sighed and gave in. "Borders are flexible and the pride is still short-handed. We can't be sure of our safety until we reach the heartlands."

Brown eyes stared out at the world with sadness. This pride made her sad. It seemed every time she turned around, someone either died or got the illness spreading at an alarming rate. Her ears lowered when she heard others younger than her coughing and gasping for breath. They weren't going to make it much longer. Yet, she knew she couldn't be sad for everyone. It would kill her, that much sadness. So, Deepali would try to smile and brighten the sick one's days. Just... don't think of them as friends.
It sounded mean, but how else does a juvenile cope with it? She told the sick cubs stories an then left when she was done. She didn't know their names, and honestly, she didn't want too. Her masked face turned toward the boarder and a thought crossed her mind. Then quickly left it.
She'd die out there if she even attempted to leave. The outside world was no place for someone as young as her without parents or an adult there with her. And that would defeat the whole running away aspect of it all, wouldn't it? Shuddering as a sudden chill got into her bones, she walked that way anyway. This was a time she felt that someone was coming home. Like one of the lucky immune with more lions and other breeds to help populate the small pride.

It wasn't every cub was as trusting as this one, just Deepali was glad that some lions were returning that weren't sick and weren't going to die! Deepali, as previous said, hated that everyone got sick and died, or nearly everyone. It really seemed like the pride's numbers would never rise. She was worried, too. She didn't know if she was sick or not, but so far she had escaped it. Now, of course Deepali knew it really didn't mean anything. She could still be a carrier and have it trigger any day now. Just the thought depressed her.
"Would you really?" Then she heard the female's words and nodded. Sas scared her. She seemed kind of rough and mean. She shrank away and let the two pass, but it wasn't very submissive, more like being helpful. Tail flicking, she giggled and grinned.
"I will be at the water hole until night time, then I have to go home! Come find me and tell me all sorts of stories, please!" She wasn't talking to Sas that time, no. She was talking to Mel. Sas looked like she'd cuff her if she ever approached her again.
