With some amusement, Ampalaya watched the hare tumbled down from the god's back.
"My mother didn't want to settle down. She wandered her whole life. She never really said why. And yes, Yutu, there are prides that will run you off from the border. Lions aren't necessarily nice. And they aren't necessarily giving. You happen to have gotten lucky with a lion that will tote you around with him. God, I mean. "

Yutu let out a hum, ears back. After dusting himself off, he went and sat under a tree. "I wonder if other lions keep hares as little pet-slaves.." He looked down, then flicked a little rock off into the distance.
The god glared at the hare, then turned back to the lioness. "Ignore him... He's got far too many ideas for somebody so very small. He also seems to forget that, indeed, I could let somebody eat him. There's lions out there who can catch a hare..." His ears flicked a bit, before he looked up at the trees, then the lioness again. "Maybe she had a bad experience with prides... That can turn somebody sour to them..."

Ampalaya shrugged her shoulders. "It's not something my mom ever really talked about. I think she just couldn't settle down. I mean, she didn't even like to sleep in the same place two days in a row."
She looked over at the sulking hare. "Why do you travel with a hare, anyway? It seems like it would be more trouble then it was worth to keep him safe."

Xavier turned slowly to look at Yutu, his mouth turning down in a deep frown. "He makes socializing easier..." Not that he enjoyed it... Or would admit to enjoying it. Nor would he admit to being a failure at socializing on his own, it tended to end badly with mortals. "That and I'm permanently stuck with him. Couldn't tell you who bound him to me, I can't much remember myself..." His tail lashed a bit, knocking the hare over. "Do you remember, Yutu?"
The hare tumbled, letting out a shocked sound before he looked up at Xavier in indignation. Brushing grass and dirt from his jade green fur, he shrugged. "I can't rightfully remember, myself... And I only make socializing easier because you're such a big grouse!" He ducked the tail this time. "Don't try to deny it, your social skills are terrible!"

Ampalaya was a bit puzzled by the dynamic between the god and the hare. At times, the hare seemed very deferential to the god, and looked to him for protection, but then would pipe up with whatever opinions he wished to voice.
She laughed.
"Well, I guess that makes it worth while to tote him around then. Even if you have to keep him fed."

"Not that he's hard to feed... I just drop him on the ground and he goes from there." Xavier looked at Yutu, then Ampalaya. After a moment of silence, his ears folded back. He had to get his mind off all the green around him.... "Well... We came, we saw, we enjoyed the local fruits... And staying here all day could be a stupid idea for us." He tilted his head, watching the lioness. "I'd rather not be found by the wrong gods... There's at least one that might try to kill me if he finds me, and I'd rather not drag somebody else into that." The god bowed his head, turning and starting to walk. "Have a nice day. Come along, Yutu."
The hare started after the god, stopping and waving to the lioness. "It was nice meeting you! Sorry about his foul attitude... It needs work. But it'll get better over time! Maybe next time we all meet, he'll be much nicer!" He then turned and shot after the god, before climbing his tail up to sit on Xavier's back. The only sign that the god even acknowledged him there was a shake of the neck and head.
