Angua didn't often leave the den alone, almost always bringing one of her siblings with her as a guide, if she ever ended up getting lost, she might never find her way back. Today however, was a beautiful one and she didn't want to stay in and miss out on the gentle caress of the sunlight on her chocolate coloured fur. So, feeling her way out using her whiskers and paws, she lay down contentedly on a rock, enjoying the warmth with a smile on her face, her tail dancing behind her.

ACHOOO! Hasidi had gotten caught in a low weed that was quickly beginning to irritate his nose. ACHOOO! The young dark red lion stumbled from behind a tree and landed quite close to where Angua sat. Disoriented and extremely shaken he beamed up at her.
"Oh, sorry didn't mean to..." His voice trailed off as he examined the femme in front of him. He had seen her before, but where? "Do I know you?" his voice was extremely nasal as he held back another round of sneezing.

Angua heard Hasidi's sneezes almost immediately, her sense of hearing more perceptive than that of most regular lions thanks to her dependency upon it. She could even discern the vague location of him from just his voice and turned her head to face him, her filmed-over eyes as always seeking in vain.
He tilted her head, trying to recall the voice and shook her head "I am sorry but I'm not sure if we've met before, I'm afraid my memory isn't as good as I'd like it to be." she grinned.

"Maybe I saw you once," he a wide smile spread across his maw, "You where there when my mother was showing the pride my little sister." His eyes flicked over her. Those eyes, I know I've seen you.
He quickly straightened himself out so that he was in a sitting position, wincing slightly as he set his left hind paw down. He'd been hurt on his way to the kusini lands and it acted up when ever he walked, especially in the heat. The beautiful day had called to him to go for a stroll, so he did; against his paw's will.
"I'm Hasidi, if I'm bothering you I'll leave."

"Most likely. I'm not good at remembering other lions unless I've spoken to them, to me it's all a jumble of smells and colours." she nodded "So Tisha is your mother? Ah, I didn't know she had a son." she laughed, playfully "A pleasure to meet you. I'm Angua."
She smiled warmly where she sat still every inch as graceful as a princess should be albeit a bit more amible than was the norm. Shaking her head she exclaimed "Oh nonono! You aren't bothering me at all, I was lonely there in the den, that's why I came outside, you are a welcome surprise."

"Tisha has two sons, Tafari and myself. I look a lot differently than my family, they found me wandering," he wasn't aware she could not see, assuming that she just had a terrible memory.
"Suprise, eh? I don't like to stay in the den either, my mother sort of stays with the new cub," he muttered the end uncomfortably. He shifted his weight uneasily, "stupid leg."
"Angua, does that make you one of the little royal princesses?" He had noticed the resemblance to some of the Kusini family; on top of that he was aweful close to their den; an idiot for not realizing.

Angua listened and made note of what he told her, nodding. "I assume it wouldn't be much fun hanging around with a new baby hogging all the attention. Besides, you are probably too old now to be hanging around with your mum. I know I don't hang around my parents much these days. I mean, I need my brothers and sisters to help me around so I don't get lost but my parents are busy." she nodded proudly "Yep, I'm a princess, though no one has really told me what being one means, I just mess around like everyone else."
She recalled something else he'd said and backtracked a little "Your leg? What happened to it? Anything I could help with?"

Hasidi blushed furiously, he did want to hang around his mum. "I feel out of place with the new little one, I havn't even gone to see my mother after the little one was shown." he paused thinking over everything she said, "if you don't mind; why would you need someone to help you Around?"
"Oh, war wound?" he chuckled, "No, it happened when I was a cub, I was wandering with my real mother and I hurt it. When I came to Tisha it was nearly healed. It's old, nothing can be done for it." She was interesting and would actually talk, Tafari was too shy to speak up, the red ion wanted to be just like his older brother..well he wanted to act like his brother, noble and exciting. But it seems he talks a little too much for that, and has little to nothing to do with pridal duties.

"Yeah, new cubs will do that I hear, though maybe things will go back to normal when your sister is old enough to head out on her own and not have to be in your mother's care all the time? " She grinned a little wider at his question and shrugged, stating matter-of-factly "I'm blind, can't get about without a tail to hold onto or someone's voice to follow."
Then without even dwelling on what she thought was a slight detail, she added "Ouch. That can't be fun. I wouldn't like having a sore leg all the time."

"I should visit them," how many times had he said that this week? Five...six? "The leg insn't all that bad only on humid days. Blind...you mean you can't see anything? Sorry to bring that up."
Hasidi shifted his weight again, a nervous habit that he had acquired from some where or another. "If you ever want to go anywhere, I'll gladly take you." He thought hard about what it would be like never to see another soul, how would he have survived the journey? He wouldn't have, period.
What about never seeing Tisha? Running into terrible things.
"You can't see ANYTHING?"

She nodded with a grin, not really bothered by her condition, she'd been born that way and never known anything different. It had been frustrating sometimes but as far as she knew, other lions had similar problems but with other causes. "No need to be sorry, it doesn't bother me."
Brightening up even further, she all but wagged her tail "Really? That would be great, the more guides I have the more places I can get to go. And nope, at least that's what I'm told. For me it's just..nothing, y'know?"

"You remember people just by their voices then? Very cool! And the way the smell, oh I would give you anything to tell my brother he smells worse than an elephant!" He snickered and looked up at her. That would explain the beautiful different eyes, right?
"Tafari would probably die, speaking of Tafari, would Isoke be your sister? I've met her before she's very sweet."
New people always made him think of new connections to the world, Hasidi had met Angua, Ari, and Isoke. All females in that family, where the heck are the guys?

She nodded "Yep, everyone's smell and voice is totally different, I sort of "see" using scent." she laughed "And I wouldn't be able to do that! I'd end up getting in trouble for that! " she grinned. "I wouldn't know if my eyes were pretty or not. I prefer it that way really, this way I can imagine what I look like, I could be anything on the outside."
She nodded "Yes, Isoke is my sister, she's good to me, helps me out when I ask her, all of my family are really helpful."

"Oh come on, Taffy would literally die! He'd feel faint and keal over. Don't tell anyone but I think he has a little crush on your sister!" Hasidi grinned like a chesire cat. He wasn't supposed to tell secrets, but Taffy wasn't around to hear.
"You're very beautiful, and I'm sure that you wouldn't want to be anything but what you look like." Hasidi suddenly felt very uncomfortable, "have you met any strange people? Besides this big, walking, sneezing, scady cat?"

Angua raised her brow "Oh really?" Now that was something she'd never have guessed, a crush eh? She wondered how that went, if it would last or not. Either way, she'd be making a few more pointed comments at Iso in future.
At the compliment she smiled gently "Thank you, it puts my mind at ease to know I don't look too bad, knowing when to groom and the like is hard when you can't see yourself." letting out a chuckle she asked "Walking sneezing scaredy cat? Don't think I've met any individual of that description, just a very lovely and good to talk to lion."
