"I, uh..." He stared at Sen and her position that would otherwise have been comical. "Y-You know her?" Please let that mean they weren't going to get in trouble!
When Arasi got up the courage to look back at the goddess, his bright eyes met with a surprisingly sympathetic expression. He could have melted with relief. "S-sorry ma'am," he stuttered awkwardly, "Didn't mean to wake you."
Well, Sen had, but he hadn't know what she was up to! Really!

"I do," Mwokoti replied, resisting the strong urge to end the sentence with 'unfortunately'. The way he stumbled on his words was amusing, and she found very little funny. It had been so long since any mortal had displayed the slightest hint of fear in her presence. "I won't smite you," she assured him. "I am an assistant of mortals, not a killer of them."
"Yeah!" Sen chirped. "So don't be such a sissy! It's not like she's a beetle or anything!"

"O-oh." Arasi felt a great deal better, but wasn't sure what he was supposed to say. "It's...nice to meet you?"
"Oh, shut up, squirt!" He snapped at Sen, ears flattening back against his head. He was not a sissy! "You're the girl here."

What a stupid thing to say. Everyone knew girls were better hunters than boys, which meant they were better at everything else, too. "She's a girl," Sen pointed out, nodding to the Goddess. "And you were almost shaking when you first saw her!"
Mwokoti's face was still like that of a statue, but the sort of 'huff' noise she made sounded like one made by an entertained individual. This cub was annoying, but awfully witty. "Nice to meet you as well, Pridelander. I see you're amusing my leech."
"I am not a leech! ...What's a leech?"

"No," he corrected, "She's a goddess. You're just a little girl-cub. It's different!" And she was getting both of them laughed at!
"I'm not trying to." The adolescent grumbled, glaring at the chattery cub.
"It's a parasite." Arasi was more than happy to clarify. "It grabs onto things and sucks their blood. Like a tick, but bigger and slimier and grosser."

"Hey, cut it out!" the tiny lioness wailed, her airborn paws flailing. She hadn't bothered actually getting up yet. "I am not!" She wasn't a tick or a leech or slimy or any of that! Hmph! "I didn't get bested by a beetle! You--" Her words morphed into a squeal as she was lifted by the Goddess and set back on her paws.
The group turned her head over her shoulder and grinned in quite a cocky, yet cute way, at her, and Mwokoti shook her head. Kids. Honestly. "I must leave," she announced. "Will you be alright?"
And something in her tone said she wasn't asking Sen.

"She's the one who called you a leech," Arasi said loftily, "I just told you what it meant." Credit went where credit was due!
Seeing that the goddess question seemed to be for him, he lifted his head with a flick of his mane. "Yes, ma'am! I'm sure I'll manage just fine."
...he hoped.
