A groan could be heard echoing within a cave. A cave that was in all actuality home of Xanaris and Nathifa. That groan belonged to said Nathifa, but no Xanaris. The reason for that groan was because it was boring. It was boring that her mate had gone off hunting with the others and she opted out on going to sleep in. Her mistake a few hours later.
"Grr," Moving quickly Nathifa bounced onto her four paws and headed towards the opening of their home hoping to run into someone, something, some--"Oh." Looking about she noted the activity occurring around her. Apparently the caves walls were really good at blocking off noises outside.... A good and bad thing. Bad thing for attackers and good thing for peace at night.
Wandering over to someone she hoped to gather some answers of what was going on around here.

 Though he'd passed others a ways back the rogue had continued on seeking out an elusive little herb mainly found within caves, the properties important for a new kind of healing salve he wished to try. Padding along at a leisurely pace his ears perk slightly upon hearing groans then a growl, head canting slightly. What could that be...perhaps another lion? Or a cave! Padding a bit faster now the large male rushes toward the cave not thinking of it being inhabited by others, how rude this must be but his mind is elsewhere. Golden hues glance around hoping to find that silly herb, only to instead focus on a lioness heading toward him, catching him off guard.
Voice deep yet soothing he smiles apologetically. "Oh dear...is this your home? Please forgive me, I was seeking a plant for this salve and...You look confused. Are you alright, miss?"

Startled she looked over to her right and noted the male lion near her. "Oh," Nathifa narrowed her eyes curious and chaos. "Um, yes it is. Mine and my mate's home." She tilted her head as he spoke about plants. "Hmm, well I could try to help you out. I need a description of the plant though as there are multiple plants around the Ela'wadiyi Lands." She nodded politely before looking at him closely. "I don't think I've seen around here before." I would remember those neat face markings, she thought the rest internally. "I'm alright just wondering what's going on in the home lands is all. Seems a bit busier than usual. I'm surprised you got this far without running into a guard to be honest."

Golden hues grow a tad wide as realization washes over him. Not only had he wandered into a den, but a Pride as well. How in blazes had he managed to do that? "Once again my apologies. I am Hiamovi and I assure you I only seek good. I am a wanderer with no home. The plant...oh! Yes of course, it is a mushroom with an odd texture that dwells only in caves or places with dark lighting. I require at least one to try out a new medicine." Bowing his head with respect he then notes her look to his markings, the extra two lines on each cheek a bit fresh. Though most of his markings were indeed a part of his fur, others were 'painted' on in some form of sacred ritual. "I am...a believer of customs now lost to most."

She was usually a good sort of judge of character and this male didn't seem like a bad sort. A bit confused, but he looked harmless... so far. "Well Hiamovi I know how that feels being a wanderer myself. I mean I was a wanderer but now I find my days and future here in these lands." She paused to let him continue with his description of the plant he was looking for and her eyes narrowed in thought. "I... can try and help you with this plant but the description of it... I don't think I've seen it around here before." She nearly blushed at the gesture of bowing, it wasn't something she was use too. "I'm Nathifa by the way." She laughed at her lack of manners as he had given her his name and she had yet to introduce herself. Oops.
"We can head towards the border lands and start from there. Hopefully we can find what you are looking for but if not... It is our custom to allow a rogue stay only a day or two before they must move on." She paused waiting for the male to walk with her to the edge of the land. "Let us start looking. Are you from the rogues? Or are you from another pride on a mission or pilgrimage?"

He was doing his best to be calm, now a bit alarmed and nervous about disturbing a pride. Not many welcomed random male strangers that wandered in...not kindly at least. "It is...difficult to find. If nothing else I could see use for fresh rosemary or a leafy green herb that can be found much easier. It typically has three leaves and keeps very close to the ground, clovers I believe they are called." He smiles warmly finally growing more calm around the female, giving another quick bow of the head at the mention of her name. "Nathifa, thank you for being so nice to me. I know it may look...bad for a rogue to wander around..."
Deciding to prove himself he grips a pouch kept on his hip with his fangs, tugging the leather open to reveal several herbs of all shapes and sizes along with powders, a clay crude bowl and a stone stained from many uses of crushing different plants into pulp. "I assure you, I am of no harm...if anything...I am a failed healer...nothing more."

Nathifa looked at the male beside her at the corner of her eye and nodded taking in the words of description. I have no idea what he is talking about and bit back a smile. But-- "You have a nice smile." Nathifa returned him the favour by smiling as well. " No worries, as for rogues wandering... it does happen now and again. I mean I was once a rogue myself until I asked the leader to join their lands. That ceremony occurs once in a while." She blinked in confusion. "Oh I believe you, if i hadn't i would have run you out of here as best as I could. This is my home after all and I love my home." Nathifa gestured with her head as they continued walking. "Almost there. I did see those three leaf-things you were talking about, so its possible we have it. But then again I'm no expert."

After a few moments he realizes he may be boring her with the lengthy descriptions, slight color tinting his brown cheeks. "As do you, I thank you." Bobbing his head in thanks he then apparently spots clover, rushing forward until he's settled on his rump before several patches of it all ripe for the gathering. "Is this alright? If you have other medicine lions or species I would not wish to intrude..." Just in case he grips only two little clovers, now looking at the female expectantly, waiting for her permission. This was after all her pride area, not his.

"You sure do have nice manners Hiamovi." Nathifa watched him collect the plants he needed. "Shouldn't be too much trouble if you don't collect too much. Plus there is always the seeds and replanting for more, um, well plants." She chuckled at her lack of finding words. "Afterwards you can rest here for the night, we can find someone to house you--I would offer but I don't know what my mate will think about that." She smirked just thinking about his squawking. "Or you can get back to whatever it is you need to do."
Henry_kunz one more <3 Thank you for this rp! biggrin

Gathering just a few more he makes sure to leave plenry behind for others to take or as she'd said to replant. "Thank you, Nathifa. It is just how I am. You deserve respect." Bowing his head the large male tugged the leather strap of the pouch back onto his leg, a warm smile given to his company. "I will remember this kindness. It may be best that I simply go...I do not belong here and...I am not ready to join another pride. It is a long story, one not meant for now..." Pulling a plant from his pouch he noses it to her, the scent minty and fresh. "That is rosemary, it smells and tastes minty. I find it nice so I hope you might as well. Thank you for the aid and kindness." Another bow of the head, then he pads off.
