Yes to most Harami settled the need for stealing and other such practices. To Morin, well he wasn't quite certain why he had joined. He supposed it was because the job was fun. Foxes often tried to find the Harami caves and the tribes location for revenge or they where more thieves. Tricking them and sending then away to who knows where was always fun, the tribe hadn't yet become totally official so the tribal marking was absent and he could play off being one of the victims as well. Not that Morin had anything to steal after any object of importance had been stolen may times he had stopped having material possessions. Only places and occasionally foxes meant something. Morin looked over at faiza about the same time she looked at him again. He broke off his gaze to watch a snake swimming in the water.

Faiza sighed. "I should probably leave soon, find lands with less sand to them." Her voice was tinged with the smallest amount of regret. It was nice meeting others, and Faiza always felt sad a day or two after parting. Then she got back in her stride of living on her own, and the others went to the back of her mind. She figured the day she couldn't forget and needed company was the day she'd do something about her solitary existance.

Something akin to fear shot through Morin. Leaving... so soon. He knew it would happen and yet. Ugh he shook his head. "ah that would understandable, although what exactly are you looking for other than more compacted dirt and very few tree's?" Morin asked. He could at least do one more thing before she too left. From traveling Morin knew a lot about the surrounding area for miles. There was a forest, that Faiza would not like to the northwest of their position, tribe caves where in another direction although Morin wouldn't be leading her there and to the west was a sort of plain like area with the few occasional trees.

Faiza's long tail swished behind her. "I am not sure," she admited. "Generally I like to see a place before I make decisions. I just want to find somewhere with open space and firm ground." It was really a shame that the desert was covered with so much sand. Faiza had heard of some places just desert-like, but with packed earth that was hard and cracked. "Maybe plains," she said, guessing that might be her best bet.

He nodding understanding her view point. “Yes well obviously” Morin chuckled. “After all a fox might get really good at guessing your preferences but truly it’s up to you to decide what appeals to you the most. I would say though you might want to check out the plains over in the western area but to get there you need to go past coyote territory and the coyotes over there are rather vicious and will often attack foxes.” Morin stated getting a thoughtful expression on his face. It was no problem for him but he had to look at it from a different perspective. A lone fox traveling through would spell for a disaster. Coyote packs where rather mean and would attack instantly.

Faiza lightly shrugged. "I have long legs, and am quite the runner when I need to be. Failing that, I am more than just a pretty face." Not that Faiza thought she could get away with taking down a pack of coyotes unscathed, but all Morin saw of her so far was her polite side. When she fought, especially if a life was on the life, she could become downright vicious.
All the training she had done to teach herself to fight combined with the knowledge that others were once more seeking her life? It brought out a blood lust in her. It happened only rarely, but it made her into an unthinking machine of destruction.
She sat and waited for Morin's judgement. If it was the only way to the plains then she'd take it even if she had to go by herself. If he knew another way then she would be willing to hear him out.

"I think you are giving me too little credit as well miss Faiza" Morin started with a smile. Some foxes he knew where rather sexist trying to protect the female thinking she was weak and couldnt fight. He knew that unless they screamed innocence and obliviousness of the world they could probably fight. "I have no doubt of your capabilities. You move like you would know how to handle yourself. I mentioned the Coyotes merely to warn you because I believe you should have fair knowledge of the predators in an area you walk into. I also know that pretty faces are the ones you most have to look out for. Most of Harami is after all female. There is two other ways one through the forest which I doubt you want to traverse through and the other takes you too close to the head of Harami" He thought about. "There are of course three options. I could lead you there after all eventually the desert plays tricks with everyone. The other option would be to go by yourself and the third option there is no wind for"

Faiza gave Morin another tiny smile. "And I was telling you that it does not worry me. Predators are everywhere, I will not let them scare me off." She tilted her head, examining Morin. It surprised her, that he would offer to lead her. After all they had only met maybe half an hour ago, hardly a strong basis for such an offer. "I would not want to inconvience you, having to lead me," she hedged, not sure how to answer yet.

"well its wasnt meant for scaring off just as info" Morin stated. Then thought about her statement. Why was he? It was hardly like he went off and helped people when ever he felt like it. Then again he had been doing that lately. Helping harami, helping Anila. "its hardly inconveniencing me. I have all the time I want in the world. Its not like I have any important job in my tribe" well that was a little bit of lie Morin had to make sure Harami wasn't found and keep tabs on the food supply for the hunters but unlike the actual steal or hunting the food in his Mind the job wasn't important it was just something to pass the time. "so why not help some one when I have the chance. you know the saying a good deed a day or something like that."

"If you are sure it will not be an inconvience, I would be honored to have you lead me." Faiza nodded her head in thanks for the offer. While she did have a fairly good sense of direction it would have taken her a couple extras days to find some good lands outside the desert, as opposed to someone guiding her. There was still that tiny part in her mind that thought of this as ridiculous though, and to just go off on her own before anything got complicated. Lately that voice had been getting easier to ignore.

“I’m quite certain. I’m not one to boldly sacrifice my time for the benefit of another if I have something else planned.” Morin stated. “I suppose that is a bit selfish of me but everyone does have flaws. So don’t worry like I said this is hardly an inconvenience” then his attention drifted away as he looked around. He knew relatively where he was but he was so used to flying up in the air. The land marks on the ground where a little harder to spot. Even if Faiza didn’t mind him flying, he was getting too used to being up in the air and needed to train his senses on the ground again. He believed if you could fly you should utilize it but you also needed to take care of yourself on the ground. “well follow me then” he smiled.

"You know your way on the ground," Faiza asked. "I assumed you spent most of your time in the air?" She wasn't questioning his abilities, she was actually curious. Most flying creatures she knew had......issues navigating from the ground.

Morin nodded solemnly. An incident from his childhood flashed quickly in front of his eyes. “Yes I know how to navigate my way on the ground. As a phim I need to know how to do both. If some predator or human downs me if I can’t navigate on the ground I’m as good as dead. Plus at least to me I find it rude to fly in front of some one who can’t. I can pick up pretty much every kind of fox expect for maybe a daeva so they can experience just a bit of flying but some times a fox doesn’t like heights and they find it offensive. If you are going to take the time to come down to meet someone you should stay on their eye level” he explained. Yes most phims stayed in the air but Morin had a bit of a weird honor system.

Faiza didn't really say anything. She wasn't much used to that kind of thinking, how could she reply? "Whenever you are ready to lead then," she finally said, standing back and giving the male room to move.

Morin knew that Faiza couldn’t really respond back so he wasn’t disappointed when she didn’t respond. Finding the land mark he got up and began leading the way wondering why in fact he was doing this. It wasn’t like he went out of his way to help people. Sure he liked being helpful every once in a while but that was attributed to a small portion of his personality while he was a kit. He guessed it was because he wanted to spend more time with her… but why shouldn’t he have sworn off all females. Kitsumi had disappeared and left Anila had kits and was mated… Kito, well kito wasn’t a girl and now faiza. He let out a sigh maybe it was because he had developed some masochistic tendency. "alright this way then."
