K'Anatak shifted his wings and pondered in his mind, closed his eyes and tried to think back to other times he had help others deal with decisions on joining prides. When he opened his eyes again, they were still black, but softer in emotion within their depths, "Family is important, happiness and a sense of belonging is important too. What if perhaps they are looking for you as well? If you look for them, you might go to a place they have not been to yet, and they will be looking for you in the place you just left. Perhaps, if you join the pride, you can belong to a large family, and perhaps, your family will find you their. Plus, I have no doubt in my mind that they will accept you, you seem like a fine lioness Isi," K'Anatak said with a nod.
He hoped he helped.

Isipho looked at him, quietly, almost somberly, and nodded. "So.. I should join the pride? But.. what if they don't like me, because I can't hunt?" She liked the idea of her family finding her, it would be.. great. But, what if they never found her? The thought nagged at her, and her voice was distressed.

K'Anatak furrowed his brow in thought, perhaps he should tell her the words his mother once told him? "Think of it this way, would you rather pass up the opportunity, to join the pride, adn never know what it would be like? Or join it, see what its like, see what happens with others, and if it doesn't work, go look for you family?" he was trying to tell her to just try out being with the pride, then not knowing what could have been.
"If you can't hunt well, some will teach you, you should be fine Isi, your nice and caring, I think you will fit in just fine," he said with a nod adn a warm smile.

Isi looked down, frowning, and kneading the earth. She still wasn't sure..
But the comforting words of the large white god certainly helped. She looked up at him, finally, with a small nod. "I guess.. I could try it out. But, I'm going to learn to hunt furst. So that way they won't wonder if.. I, I don't know, should join it or not. " The lioness paused for a moment, before saying, "Thankyou."

K'Anatak tilted his head, watched her for a moment, she still seemed unsure, but usually, everyone was. To change a familiar lifestyle was hard, and could be stressful, but usually in the end, it was well worth it.
After she spoke, his heart lightened, so he had helped her after all, which made him happy. "Then after you hunt, just try it, for you can always leave later on if it doesn't work out," he said with a nod. He could hear the thrumming of thunder in the distance, perhaps it would rain soon, that wouldn't go well with his wings, it would mean he would have to walk a bit longer, ah well, walking was alright.
"You will hunt well after time, so no worries about that Isi, you will do just fine," he curled his tail around him and looked to the sky, it if began to rain, he might have to leave. Which he didn't want to do, Isi seemed to nice, she was a good friend.

Isipho nodded. "Okay. So.. I could just.. leave, if I wanted to?" Suddenly all her desicions seemed a lot easier, and she smiled. Her ears perked as the thunder rumbled, and looked in it's general direction. "I think it's going to rain soon, maybe." Oh, what a relief that would be! The humidity from the previous rain was torture on her dark coat, and it would take another shower to clear it out.
"You really think so?" Her eyes shone, suddenly, at the image of herself hunting skillfully. Oh, how cool that would be.

K'Anatak nodded at Isi, "Yes, if it didn't work out there, you could always request to leave, no one can hold you in one place if you do not wish to reside there any longer." His eyes turned to the sky again, it was darkening, it wouldn't be good to fly now, with the risk of lightning striking his wings during flight, they should get to shelter somewhere. "Yes, rain is not good for me, I must go very soon Isi."
K'Anatak nodded at her last statement, "Yes, I believe so Isi, just try your hardest, the only way you can improve is to try hard," he stood up and shook his wings, the air was getting moist, it smelled like rain.
"I must take my leave Isi, can I visit you while you're there? I would like that, I always like visiting my friends, it si up to you Isi..." he said with a smile.

Isipho grinned. "That's good." She almost stopped and asked why rain wouldn't be good for him, but then she looked at his thick white fur, and realized he would probably get a cold if he got too wet. Hah, she could be so smart sometimes.
Beaming up at the God, Isi nodded. "Thanks, K'Anataak." She pronounced his name wrong, by accident, but it was the best she could do.
"Of course you can visit me!" Her beam widened as he told her that he liked to visit friends, so that means she was his friend, right? She wiggled happily at the thought. "Oh.. Goodbye, K'Anatak.." Her voice was sad, and she crept clsoer to the large white figure to nuzzle him quickly, a sort of 'hug'.

K'Anatak smiled at Isi as she tried to pronounce his name and said it wrong, but it was alright, he wouldn't hold it against her ever. "I'll come see you soon then, to see how things work out yes?" He turned away and took a few steps, but then turned his head to give her one last smile.
"Just remember, keep on trying, and I will see you soon, good-bye Isi, my friend," then he turned back and began to pad away, as the thunder rang throughout the area. Yes, he would go visit her, she would do just fine. He had a feeling, she would like being in a pride.
Isi, would do well.
