He'd have to find a way to distract Anu, of course. The jackal really did seem to think he was some kind of parent or conscious to Matsusa. Granted Susa had avoided certain kinds of trouble to not have to deal with the nagging of his test subject turned information gatherer - such as torture, torment. Well, Susa avoided it as long as Anu wasn't off gathering information for him.
Hmm ... that might work again this time. Better than last time. Matsusa smiled and turned to Anupama. "Anu. I think I have an assignment for you. I need information that only you can gather about the roguelands."

The other was the scent of a lion approaching. A lion that Anu was always weary around and against. Even though Susa was always relaxed. Anu just couldn't find it in himself to do that. Not with this group of lions, cheetahs, leopards, and others. Nope. They were all too ... well Anupama wasn't destressing or relaxing while he was with his lion on the pride's lands.
Anu went silent and nodded at his lion, waiting.
