Adi'sa waited until Tailsin was out of earshot before he spoke to his elder again.

"I had a feeling she'd drag me somewhere," he said with a worn yet patient smile.

For as much as Tailsin did 'wind him up' at times, he seemed to posess such patience and good grace with her that he didn't really mind. Oh, he'd be embarrassed at times but he'd never tire of it. If he was entirely honest with himself, he felt her antics were good for him, in some strange way or other.

"I will seek you out again soon elder Tawa'di," he finished with a respectful bow to the old lion.

And then he trotted off after Tailsin, not making a great effort to run. She could wait a little longer.
