((That's fine ^^))
"For the time being, yes. A few members of my pride and I are traveling, trying to get back to our lands." He sighed happily at the thought of returning home after so long. "Hopefully they are nearby."
Angu frowned. The thought of Sukari in a position of power was not encouraging. "You don't happen to know what the pride will be called, do you?" He wanted to warn the others when they got home. He wasn't one to judge too quickly, but Sukari having power over a group of lions... It made his mind jump immediately to open warfare, possibly with his own pride.

"I'm not sure what it'll be called... All I know is that there'll be four divisions, and a central division. Mom'll be in the North division as a..." He looked down at the ground, trying to remember exactly what she'd said... She wasn't a lord or lady, meaning the leader of a particular division, but she was a... "A Captain!" He said loudly as he remembered. He felt a sense of triumph over his memory. "She's in the division that emphasizes strength, I kinda want to go to the one that emphasizes speed..." He said quietly, as though it was shameful to want speed over strength. Of course, his mother had been the one that had shot that idea down when he had mentioned it to her.

Angusho pondered this idea for a moment. A pride divided into four segments? Such a thing couldn't possibly be very easy to maintain, especially if they are not near each other.
"Well, your mother is powerful, but physical strength is only part of being strong." He nodded sagely, "One must be able to control that power and use it wisely." He shrugged, "But speed is a good attribute as well. It is often better to run from a fight when you know it is lost. Your mother ran from me in the end."
He shuddered at the thought that he had nearly killed the lioness. He always knew that he COULD kill things if need be, but they nearly always ran off before the need arose. He just hoped that if the time came, and he had no choice, he would have enough nerve to finish off an opponent.

Fenris noticed the male's shudder, but didn't act or speak on it.
"I wouldn't be planning to get in a fight anyway. The only fights I would have would be with preybeasts for food. Fen was honest, he didn't have a violent bone in his body- not unless it was in self defense, he supposed. "I think I take after my father in every way," he said, thinking of his cheetah father. Though he climbed trees and acted more like a leopard, Fen expected that once he got used to solid ground he'd be as fast as him, if not faster.

"A wise decision." Angu said simply, smiling. For one so young, Fen was very smart. He glanced up at the sky again, and realized that the sun had moved low in the sky. He had been gone longer than he should have.
"It has been nice meeting you, Fen, but I must return to my group. Until we meet again, farewell." He said simply, bowing his head respectfully as he stood up and limped back toward camp, hoping that the others, Raza especially, wouldn't be too worried about him.

"Nice meeting you, Angusho!" Fenris called after him. He turned and headed for home, not liking what he was bound to see.
He was bound to see Ryega forced to bring home carcass after carcass, perhaps even watch him get a blow. He hated his mother... Poor Ryega.
But these days, days where he gets no sleep and little food, were numbered. Fen was determined to free the dog, and free himself. The latter he'd omitted from his story, but he had no intention of staying with his cruel vicious mother. Besides, after springing Ryega from "jail" he doubted he'd get just the silent treatment. No, if he stayed after freeing her slaves, only a beating, and a long bad one, would be in his future. For one so young, he'd put on himself a responsibility so heavy...
He wished that he could be as strong as Angu, the stranger he'd just met.
