Abandoning all she knew, Mafunde had decided to go on with her life. She haf always felt like the third wheel, her selfish actions nearly killing her sister, and probably Yanisin's true love. Her lies and deciet had cost them their home. Sure, they had built another one, but she was never satisfied. She had never forgiven herself. Even bearing four strong sons didn't seem to clean the taint that she deemed hidden within herself.
And so Mafunde walked. With the children gone, there really was no reason to be there anymore. She had left a paw mark, indicating she was alive, and left. She only hoped that the two of them would not look for her; they should spend their time together. How it should be.
With a sigh, the dark coloured lioness looked up to the moon above. The night was where she fit, and the night was where she would stay. "Where to go now?" she asked it, never expecting an answer. |

Al-Hattal had no reason to wander besides a simple desire to do so, and never asked himself where he was going...because, really, he was never going anywhere in particular, and didn't care to do so. What he wanted was to explore, to see what he could see. Not have an adventure, though, no thank you! He didn't have even the slightest taste for danger.
Not that he didn't run into some, given his choice of lifestyle, but he wasn't one to go looking for danger just for the sake of it. Maybe for the sake of a pretty female.
...which was what he seemed to be headed towards. It was the splashes of white that caught his attention in the dark, and he ambled on in hopes of getting a closer look.

Her heart pounded faster when the lion revealed himself. He didn't seem threatening at all, but sometimes facing what you didn't know was more frightening than what the mind could conjure up.
"Ah," she breathed in, trying to calm her speeding heart. She wasn't sure if she should trust him right off the bad, but he seemed harmless enough. And respectful.
"It's...it's all right. I should have remembered that wandering in the dark of night is not always a smart thing, no matter how comfortable I feel in doing so." Her ear twitched for a moment as she attempted to pick up any more sounds. Finding nothing, she lowered her body slighty, feeling the tight muscles start to relax.
"But since I've already started the wandering, it seems even more foolish to find a den to sleep in. I wouldn't risk waking up a very unhappy creature, hm?" She couldn't help but crack a smile, chuckling at herself.

She eyed him, a little taken back by his statement. Well, it wasn't every day where you would meet a man to direct with his words!
"Well, perhaps for a time, though I'll admit I don't know a thing about you." She rustled at the ground a bit, settling down to sit in a comfortable position. "Mafunde is my name, if you'd like to start with the formalities." She offered a small smile, inviting only the idea of small talk for the moment. "Just a wanderer, not going in any direction at once. Letting the paws carry me is something new, and not entirely something I might be able to handle my entire life, but you never know anything until you try it."

"It's alright," he assured her, curling his tail around himself. "A lot of rogues like me don't make the best reputations for themselves, or for the rest of us." Although he could probably be lumped into the 'skeaky' category - polite and charming he might have been, but he did disappear in the morning.
"It suits some better than others, I suppose, but I like it. I go where I like, for the most part, do whatever I care to, and meet all kinds of creatures. Not that it's always fun and games, but life's that way anyway, really."

"Hm." She hadn't thought about the fact that a home might appear before her. "I won't be looking for a home, but I won't let myself completely forget about that." A new home wasn't really desired, if only because her original home had been so horrible. Most of it had been her fault, as she had been so fearful of her own death. Still, the idea of limiting herself...she would need to think about it.
She looked up at the stars above, glittering as they did every night, unchanging. Part of her wouldn't change, but a lot would. It was thrilling, if terrifying.
"Well, have anything else you'd like to talk about?" She offered to him with a smile. It would be a long night, but Mafunde would be pleased in the end.
