Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zeru didn't really mind the life he had, avoiding all friendly life form possible. The only life he interacted with would be the occasional small talk with the others when asking for directions. Or with the animals he had hunted down, to feed himself for the day.

This sort of lifestyle though lonely, suited him well. And was something he didn't exactly picture changing in the near future. But one should always remember to expect the unexpected with life.

Zeru was taken back at the sight of the lioness. He wasn't expecting her to be there, and wasn't sure how to react around her just yet. Not knowing if she was friendly, or aggressive either. But from what he could see so far, she didn't seem aggressive to him. But rather defensive, as he was. "My name is Zeru" He stated.

"I want no trouble." He told the female, to make sure she knew where he stood. He wasn't looking for a fight, but would be willing to defend himself if needed.

"Glad we both see eye to eye on that." He was truly glad of this, but he still kept his defenses up for now atleast. "And Arii, you aren't exactly bothering me, I guess. I just didn't expect there to be another randomly appearing in this general area." He awkwardly replied to her.

Not knowing how to properly go about having a conversation with another. Other then to ask on directions. And unsure how it will go from here on.

Zeru gave her a quick nod, though he himself not even sure why he had done so. It was an action he had done without even thinking about it. "I know how that is." He added as she finished talking on how she had been avoiding others.

"I have avoided others for quite some time now, which is why this run in is somewhat awkward on my side." He truthfully told the female. Not sure how she would react to what he had said.

"No need to worry, I'm not that type. Though I have met others some time ago that were like that." He said, as he made himself get somewhat closer to the female to sit down as well. "Though it has been sometime since that, I mean other then you now. The last thing I ran into was my last meal which put up quite a fight for such a small hare. Was mouthy with me too." Not one-hundred percent sure why he bothered to even tell the female this.

He just couldn't help it, was much like word vomit in a way. But the kind that actually makes sense as to what he was trying to say.

Zeru couldn't help but the start laughing as well. "I suppose you are right about that." He managed to get out, in between all that laughing. "I mean, I wouldn't want to be in his position. And would probably put up as much fight, in for more if I was ever him." He couldn't help but to add in to their current conversation. "But before that feisty little guy, was many many other meals. And the occasional VERY small talk just to ask a quick question to the random wise birds of that area."

"I don't think anyone wants to be prey to anyone else. It just kind of happens, I guess." He added to the first thing she had said. "Ah, well atleast you didn't come out of it a prey to it" He couldn't help but to add, even if it might of sounded a little insincere to what she had said about that leopard run in.

"And I'm glad to have met you too. Though I must admit, I didn't trust you at first. But I do now, even though we haven't talked to each other for very long."
