"Good evening," Hantan said to the large blue lion. The greeting had been friendly so the polite thing to do was to respond in kind. The leopard didn't know that he was talking to a leader of the pride, but that was probably good. He was already on edge after all. As it was he hung around, glancing at the food, but deciding to wait.
He watched another lion join the blue male and strike up a conversation. At the mention of hunters he couldn't contain his curiosity. He'd seen fish among the foods offered, and they didn't look like the small ones he'd learned to catch.
"Do your hunters hunt for fish in the sea," he asked. He knew how to hunt for fish, but the ocean was a much bigger body of water than anything he'd tried his luck in.
Before he could get any answer a small black cub crashed the party and started playing with the furs strapped to the blue lion's legs.

There was always at least one party crasher, it had to happen, and both adult males watched in amusement as the tiny cub barrelled in to their conversation. Alas, given that it would be rude to try and hold two conversations at once, Ram cast a glance towards Xenon and turned his attention to Cetus, a wry smile lining his lips. Lowering himself just a touch to the cub's level, he examined his own bracers for a few moments and considered the cub's words - was he warm? He'd rather gotten used to it by now but he had come from the slopes...
"You know," he mused thoughtfully. "I suspect I occasionally do it a touch warm," he nodded in agreement, nosing at the bracer to remove it and nudging it towards the cub. "But such things make for good protection when you things to do and others to take care of," he pointed out. He then lay down, the position decidedly more comfortable than his previous, slouched one.
"Why, do you dislike them?"
************************
Xenon meanwhile, had managed to take the hint from Ram and promptly turned his attention to Hantan, a winning smile forming on his lips. It was quite evident that the leopard was a new face, a wanderer, and as such some of their ways might be lost on him. Nevertheless his queries were something that Xenon was well versed in and therefore comfortable to talk about - after all, if he had been asked how the dens were built he would have had to defer to a Bumani.
...Xenon was not an architect.
"It depends on the season," he said at last, addressing Hantan with a small nod of his head. "We gain the vast majority of our food from the sea as it provides ample resources throughout the years," he continued and cleared his throat. "However on occasions the prey beasts draw near the borders and we will take some of our share from them as well," he paused after this and tilted his head to the side - ah, but how he had missed that meat when he first came here.
"It can be a rather rare treat," he said with a grin. "Why do you ask?"

Rytir's words made Kicheko laugh happily, her tails swishing back and forth out of amusement. "Oh please," she said, waving a paw at him, still grinning. "You're far too kind." She had that look in her eyes that said 'please, continue' though. She was never one to sell herself short, and she ate up praise like it was the finest meat from a still warm animal.
"So, other than our wonderful dens, how have you enjoyed your time with us?" she asked, turning the subject just a bit. As much as she enjoyed digging the dens, there was only so much one could say about them. Here she was with a lion from a completely unknown place, and he was friendly enough to talk. She'd have to get all the information from him as she could! Maybe some day she'd venture over to the islands to see what they were like for herself, but for now she'd have to remain content on what Rytir had to offer.
---
Blue eyes widened as Cetus watched Ram nose off one of the fluffy bracers, and once it was free of his leg, he wasted no time in sniffing and wriggling his own paw into it. It was far too big for him, of course, so he ended up nosing his way through until his paws poked out the other side and he had it snug about his middle. He turned to look at himself, now an odd mish-mash of his normal black pelt with a white fluffy body, and grinned up at Ram.
"No! They're really nice," he said, flopping down to lay in his little cocoon of fur. "They're just different. Lots of lions have shells and ocean things, but you have these."

The bright male tore his gaze from the spectacle presented by Ram and Cetus, green eyes settling once again on Kicheko as she spoke again. He smiled gently at her reaction to his flattery, whiskers twitching in amusement; at the question, he paused, his expression sobering as he considered his answer.
"It has been pleasant enough, all things considered. I haven't been able to acquaint myself with many of your pridemates but the ones I have met have been very friendly. I only wish more of my own pride decide to attend tonight; I understand their concerns but with our home in the state that it is, we can't afford to be rude in our caution."
It was true that no one understood the lions' fears more than Rytir - it had been his sister, after all, that had been abducted by a neighboring pride. It was only natural for the remaining members of his pride to be wary when seeking help from strangers. Alas, this was not the time nor the place to become lost in dark thoughts, so Rytir pushed them from his mind and focused intently on his conversation.
[OOC - I forgot to ask. It doesn't seem to be resolved anywhere - did Rytir's sister get returned? lol]

[[Yes, Ry'tir's sister would have been returned as part of the deal when the Bahari took in the sister prides; although I'm not sure what her player's plans are currently. xD]]He had long since forgotten how comical cubs could be - completely undeterred by egos, dignity or composure, they did whatever felt right and appropriate for the time. It was for this reason that Ram's eyes widened and his chest rumbled with laughter as the tiny cub cuddled into his bracer and resembled something akin to a turtle. It was oddly appropriate given the territory, and yet terribly endearing as well; as father to only one child, he had long since forgotten what it was like to handle anything so small... Ah, nostalgia! "That is perhaps because I was not born here," he confessed, nudging the cub lightly with his pay. "I was raised in the mountains, far from here," he continued and cleared his throat. He had come quite a long ways to correct the decisions made by his daughter, and yet it had been this cub, years later, that had pointed out how different he was in terms of appearance. "It is much colder up there and we do not have shells," he explained.

Kicheko, who had heard by word of mouth of the devastation that befell the island pride, lost her smile for a moment and nodded somberly, ears tucked back against her head. She could only imagine what it would be like to go through such chaos as that. She knew she had been a part of similar chaos when she was a cub, when the now-friendly Kizi pride stole her and a few other cubs, but it was at a time in her life where she could not remember it very well.
"I don't think they'd be thought of as rude if they didn't come," she said with another nod. "At least, I won't think they are! There's a lot on all of their minds right now, I'm sure. A party might not be the best place, even if there is lots of food."
Her stomach growled in agreement, and had she been furless, a blush would have stained her cheeks. "Aha...sorry..."
---
The little cub listened to Ram with wide eyes, surprised when he learned that their leader wasn't born here. "Really? The mountains?" he asked, his voice an awed whisper. "I don't know if I'd like it there...is the ocean there, too?" If there was, then maybe he would, but the mountains he had seen from a distance at the edge of their land didn't look too sandy or warm.
He pawed at the fur that was wrapped around him snugly and tilted his head to the side. "Oh...so these keep you warm," he deduced with a grin, glancing back up at Ram. "That's so smart! But it gets so hot here," he added, already growing uncomfortable in his warm shell. "Well...I guess if you wear them all the time you're used to it, huh?"

"You most certainly grow more comfortable as you wear them," the lion confirmed with a wry smile. He regarded the cub and then tugged at the bracer to assist with extracting Cetus from it. Curious as the small cub might have been, he certainly wasn't conditioned to take that kind of heat and frankly, there was no way he'd be able to walk around like that unless he wanted to look like a turtle...
"Though if I am entirely honest, sometimes I prefer to keep them off," Ram murmured and offered a wink to the cub. "Sometimes it's just too warm on the beaches, no?" he observed. He may not have been able to read the cub's mind, but the adult could state the obvious at the very least! Ah, but now the small one was more curious about his home... Suffice it to say that the lion suspected nostalgia would plague him for the rest of the evening.
"We do not have oceans, no," he replied and tilted his head to the side. "We have lakes though, which are like small oceans... but the water isn't salty."
