[PRP] The ideal apprenticeship? (Meria x Morath)

[Split Personality]

Morath had been trying to do inventory of her den. Bits and bobs were strewn about. Baskets made of wicker, finely woven and twisted by her brother and thrall, help object... stones and bones and bits of fur... you name it. To the untrained eye, it was junk. To Morath, it was treasure. And it was treasure that her people sought from her. She was a known talisman maker, from infertility to illness to other dreams and desires... she had it all.

She was no seer but she always went with her gut feelings about things. She would dig through her inventory and find one thing, combine it with another.. she was good at what she did...

Even if it made her mad.

“Blasted gods above where is my dremmel tool?!?” She was busy trying to find it, when a youngster approached. She hadnt noticed the lioness until she spoke, and she sat up from the basket she was digging though...

“I-uh... what?”

Morath observed the young lioness as she spoke. Her lilac eyes wandered over her and a small smile crossed her face. Honestly she had never had anyone interested in being her apprentice before. She had remembered when her sister had gotten one before she had and the jealousy had raged inside her.

“Hello Alstroemerias.” She said. “I am Morath... I am sure you know that already though.” She pushed aside s few things and miraculously her dremmel tool, which was fashioned from a bone; and picked it up and set it next to the other object she she was working on.

“A priestess life can be a lonely one. I have my brother companion who helps me. He is a thrall but he is family and a good male and he will be here often to assist. So you will have to meet him and respect him.”

She was already talking like it was a deal. “ My specialty is talismans. You will find your talent after time... but until then I will teach you about tokens of luck and life.”

She looked back up to her.

“Tell me about yourself dear.”

Morath was semi familiar with what the lioness was saying. She knew lineage was sometimes a factor and sometimes it came from no where. She nodded knowingly. “I too suffer it’s things. Not like you but I have great burning desires that push me to thrive and to be the best. You simply must try to bend your will to make those feelings work in your favor.”

She paused. “I appologize. You did not come for a lesson like that.”

She stood and could the lioness and looked he rip and down.

She felt mood about this idea.

“I think I would be proud to have you as an apprentice but also as a friend and perhaps family someday. I learned long ago that the family you are born with ar aometimes not family at all. My father was almost non exsistant smd my mother gone in another pride.”

She looked into alsroe’s she eyes to examine her reaction to all this.

Morath observed thnlionesses reaction and smiled. She was pleased with her response. She gestured for the lioness to come closer.

“Step one of being my apprentice is to help me find my dremmel tool. It’s fashioned from an elephant bone and wrapped with leather. I use it to sculpt rock and such. It’s about the size of my paw. “ she held it up for reference.

She began rummaging though her baskets babbling random facts about things she had made with the missing item.

Well.. she got the job.

Morath nsmiled and chuckled. If she could find an item that quickly without ever seeing it before... then this girl would be ideal for being her apprentice. She happily took the dremmel tool, gave the lioness a pat on the back..”yes.”

“Bright and early. We have lots to discuss and plan.” She added.

“I will see you tomorrow.”
