((eek. >.< Hope this is okay.)) Nunda gazed after Panya with a bit of pity and sympathy. It had never really been easy for the other woman; even though Nunda had offered to help. But the refusal was the same as always: being with dogs gave you that low-down social status.
Nunda sighed and filled another small hole with water. The dogs would be thirsty when they returned and she had no intent on getting on their bad sides by slighting the water supply.
Her hands trembled a bit when she set the pot down, empty, by her tent. The past few days had been especially tiring, not to mention the puppies were beginning their teething stages.
"Ugh," she groaned.

Reaching the dogs the young girl smiled and ran over to the 'dog women'. Mbele being the weird girl that she was really wanted to work with the dogs but her 'status' meant she wasn't allowed. "Hey Panya come over here!" She chuckled a bit wondering if it would startle the girl, she seemed so nervous!
Turning to the girl with the dogs she smiled, "Hey Nunda! did you hear, I get a pup from the next hunt!" She smiled, her eyes lit up. She loved the pups and was looking forward to finally having her own!

Hearing her name, Panya turned suddenly only to have the last of the water slosh over the end, a groan escaping from her lips. Dark eyes gazing down at the empty bowl, she realized she would need to hurry and get more water before her husband would return. Lifting her eyes slowly, she trailed the call from where it started to catch sight of Mbele, one of the many children she would soon be teaching.
As Mbele turned her attention elsewhere, she took a moment to figure if she should go to get water, or speak to the seer. She knew if she avoided the young girl, she might end up getting in more trouble than she wished, so she set down the bowl quickly by her home before walking towards the young child. Her head was lowered, eyes not visable under shadows as she held in the tears that wished to fall. As allways, she was just showing everyone how much of a mistake she was towards the tribe.
Yet as she got there, she paused away from the fence and sent a fleeting smile to both girls, for at least it was easier around some that weren't as strong of judges.

The youngster turned and smiled rushing over to the small girl. "Hey!" She jumped up on the fence though quickly got off it. "Someone needs to get that thing so it dont creak... darn men they so wrapped up in themselves!" She chuckled mainly talking to herself though she made her voice be heard, something she had no fear of doing.
Turning to the smaller girl again she smiled, "How are you?" She played with her hair as she spoke, something that was normal of the young girl, she could never just keep still.

Nunda grinned at the small girl.
"Well, that is no surprise, Mbele. You've wanted one for years."
Mbele was one of the people who didn't care much about social status unless it prevented her from doing what she wanted; in this case it was helping with the pups. But she found loopholes a-plenty, so Nunda supposed it was alright.
"And what markings, if any, are you looking for? Females have good camoflauge colors, but males have good noses," Nunda winked. Being around Mbele made her feel childish and included. She loved it.

Smoothing down the dark dress, Panya glanced with her eyes towards the younger girl, and paused before responding with a soft, "I am alright..." Her eyes looked to the long hair that the youngster held, and she self conciously brushed back the short strands of her own. Her hair was straight and grainy almost, looking better short than the longer styles the younger girls wore.
Turning her eyes to Nunda, she listened to the conversation with a slight antisipation, her mind wandering to the stream where she would need to hurry off to before her husband came back. Though it would be disrespectful to ignore the others, so she staied.

The young girl grabbed hold of Panyas arm and dragged her towards the dogs and the other girl. She had no problem bossing people about and if they got in trouble for her doing, she had her way round that to. It was great being a favourite!
"Oh I dont know what kind of pup, I guess I will see when they come! I would love a femme then she can breed with one of the better of the males when she is older and I can give you both pups!" She chuckled and danced around in circles. This girl was far too lively for her own good.

Panya grew nervous at the first touch, but could do nothing except follow towards the cages. Looking at the dogs, she shook her head and sighed once more.
"It is not my duty to have a pup...a hunting dog is what we need..." When she mumbled that to herself, it was a dismissal of the offer for the pup, for it was the truth. The new family needed a hunting dog more than anything, not a pup that could turn out to be a weaklink in the already severed chain. At the moment, Panya only said what she needed to, and than she moved to a near-by tree that was a few strides from the cage, and rested against the trunk, arms crossed lightly. She wasnt too sure of standing by the dogs, she didn't want anything to happen.
