Banji was astonished, and for a few seconds not hiding it well. Four? By herself? He'd been told Triv and Hasana were in a constant frenzy dealing with six together. Four alone was... Amazing, on some level.
"It's pleasent," he confirmed. At her recollection of the Pridelands, he nodded his agreement. Ironicly, he'd just come from there. "I'd spent many days there until recently, it's very big. More lions than I've ever seen. I don't believe the Unity Walkers add up to that many, maybe not even half of it."

She seemed rather pleased by the reaction being told she had four of her own received from him, almost looking like she wanted to laugh at it. "I think I was lucky with how well-natured they were. Not to say I didn't dote on them a bit...much..." Leboya seemed to swoon over the thought of how much she seemed glued to those kids.
She'd get frantic if she was missing one.
"Oh.. so you've been there?" she perked, seeming intrigued by this information. "Well, that's amusing. It's a place I hope to see again someday, perhaps meet an old friend again someday." Oh, how she missed that lioness. She remembered their last conversation when Leboya had said she was going away.
The sad face, it had hurt Leboya to leave, but she wouldn't have been able to handle living in a place surrounded by SO MANY lions.
"I'd doubt there is any coalition of lions that are as large as that pride is. It's astounding, really.. almost claustrophobic."

It was true, those lands were awe-worthy. Banji had left them simply because he'd been told by his mother long ago that prides didn't like outsiders. It was that logic that had him automatically wanting to leave the place the minute he'd realized he was there.
But, now that he actually thought about it... There were so many no one would even take a second glance at them. "I'll take you," he offered abruptly. Yes, it was spontaneous and maybe not even smart, but this lioness who was all alone had sounded to him like she had someone to cure that back in that place...

Leboya seemed to perk up a bit at this. "Reaaaaaaallly?" In fact, she sounded like a little kid that wasn't expecting to be given a positive answer to a question, so was double checking. In her case, she hadn't been expecting the offer at all!
She preened a bit after realizing that he -had- indeed offered to help her find her way to the Pridelands. "That... really means a lot to me." she said in awe, shifting a bit anxiously, now that it gave her a way to meet up with an old friend, an aim in her wandering, and a time to become temporary unlonely.
To say, Leboya was actually rather fond of this mostly-stranger's company.. on an intellectual level, due to their estranged similarity by his sister with her own situation, to an extent.

Had Banji known what was in store for him, maybe he'd have run away. Only, not really, because he wasn't that bright about these things. After another smile and more words of kindness and encouragement, it seemed the two almost-but-not-quite-immediately-clicking-strangers were off to the lands he'd tried for weeks to leave.
