"It's not nothing, silly. If you've got a talent like that you should hone it and use it to your advantage. You'd be so better at tracking then I am, and in fact you'd probably be a better hunter too. I'm average at it; can't seem to really get the hang of it." All she needed was that simple, small reply from him to get her chatting on again. It was those simple responses that she built her conversations off of. So long as Damu muttered some sort of reply to her endless ramblings she would go off into her own little world partially and not be entirely aware of the younger lion. But Buu was not stupid enough not to realize when she suddenly wasn't getting any answer. When her voice continued to carry on without stimulation of some sort she knew that something was up.

She stopped, turning around 180 degrees to seek Damu out, and blinking she realized that he was no longer behind her. Frantically her blue eyes scanned through the thick forest, searching for a familiar pelt color amongst the greens of vegetation. But all she saw was green! Stupid, stupid green! "Damu?" She called out his name, pacing forward to expand her searching range. "Damu'Jicho! If you're lost answer me!" She was sure that Damu knew the terrain well enough not to get lost in it, but she could never be certain. So for a little while she called out his name, hopelessly listening for some response.

As expected she got none.

The funny thing was that she did not feel hurt by his sudden disappearance, and in fact wrote it off as that he had seen Haba and was so enthused to greet her that he had not had the time to say good bye to Buu. That she didn't mind one bit, and Damu had given her a general direction in which to find Taabu. Ah, well... she could travel on her own. Sure, it would be a little lonelier without Damu, but he was having fun with his sister and so Buu could deal with her loneliness. "I'll see you later, 'kay!" She called out into the woods, and then turning around once again she wandered off to find Taabu.
