"Mmhmm," Tifu replied nodding. "And maybe someday I'll be able to control mine a bit."
She giggled when he smiled and tilted her head a bit to one side again.
"Maybe, maybe not. I might always be learning," she added with a smile and looked over her shoulder at the way she had come.
"If you want. I should be getting back before abu-Nafasi finds me gone and gets worried. You can walk me back to our spot, if you want to. And if you're by yourself, I can ask abu-Nafasi if you can stay with us, if you want." She was sure that even if her papa seemed against it at first, he'd be okay with Hadaya tagging along in the end.

"No, that's okay," Hadaya said, smiling honestly. He appreciated the offer, because it was an offer and that was heart warming, but he was not made for staying in one place, with any specific creatures, for too long. He'd just let them down, in one way or another, and would have to leave in the end.
"I'm going to go running, and then I don't know where I'll end up, but I'll take you back, no problem! I like at least looking at lands I'm not familiar with. at least that way I'm familiar with them. I don't usually go back to places, though. That's... weird. For me."
He shrugged his lanky shoulders, moving in the direction she was looking. Trying to think up some idle walking conversation, he looked down at her and tilted his head.
"What's your family like?"

Tifu stood and nodded.
"Pap- abu-Nafasi and I don't stay in one place for very long either. Sometimes I get the feeling we're going somewhere, but when I ask he says we're just wandering," she replied as she started walking back towards where she had left her papa.
"It's just me and abu-Nafasi. He's nice, but sometimes he seems kind of unsure about me being around. The Goddess gave him to me, and me to him, but I think something happened to him that makes him wary about me," she explained, her tone slightly off-handed as if the topic didn't matter to her, which it didn't.
"He's big and fluffy and just what I could have wanted in a papa."

Hadaya shrugged, not knowing what to say. He walked in awkward silence, not wanting to push her into sharing with him if she didn't feel like it. It wasn't like he had any family stories of his own to share. Or anything else, for that matter. He cleared his throat a couple of times, but never found anything to say. He walked with her until he felt she was close to her home.
There was nothing to prove this, of course, and he knew the feeling was mostly attributed to his rising need to escape the silence. And when his body told him to escape, it meant it quite literally. Padding slower, he came to a stop and smiled at the cun.
"I should go before something bad happens. I know it doesn't make sense, but I'm usually the cause of... weird things. So I guess I shouldn't make your .. abu... uhm... I shouldn't be around for long. Are you good from here? I'll go with you further if you want. I'm just. Uh. Well. Yeah."

Tifu watched her new "friend" as they continued in relative silence until he paused. They were close to where she had left her papa, and it seemed that Hadaya had gotten really uncomfortable. She tilted her head as she listened to him go on about how it might be better if he leave then. She didn't really want to make him uncomfortable, so she nodded slowly.
"Okay. Yeah, i can get back by myself, it's not far at all," she replied, glancing down a bit before looking back up at him with her sweetest possible smile.
"Be safe, and may the Goddess protect you," she added, the formal goodbye she had been taught by her mother and the other priestesses when she was still itty-bitty. She bowed her head slightly, eyes closed before straightening and turning and running off.
"Bye Hadaya! I hope we see each other again some day!" she called over her shoulder.

Hadaya smiled, a bit confused but happy to accept any offer of blessing he could get. The young seer watched as the lioness trotted off, not wanting to leave before he thought she would be safe. The last thing he wanted was to turn his back and have her get jumped on by a hyena or something. Not that it was likely to happen, or anything.
These were just the things Hadaya worried about.
"Good bye!" He called back, smiling with some trouble, like his face was perfectly content in it's awkward grimace and it did not have any inclination of listening to him, "Uhm, yeah! I hope so too! Bye!" Oh, he had already said bye.
Shaking his head, he turned and padded in the other direction, wondering vaguely if he would ever stop being so goofy. The odds were against him.
End!
