Amalahle had left the Firekin on what she had deemed a good note but her time with Chaos had been short-- not that she felt it was a waste of her time. She had no intention of returning to the desert but now that she was on her own she knew she should be making some decisions about what to do with herself. It was her first full day as a rogue on her own and she was laying out in the grass, just looking around and thinking. She thought about what her options were now.. and how strange and prickly the grass was despite being so dense and not nearly as dry as the sparse vegetation had been in the desert. Every once in a while she would shift her weight around a little bit to get more comfortable but otherwise she was having a very quiet, slow day.

Talayeh was a girl of questionable values, but she had never cared much what others thought of her. Pleasure was her key, and she was out to enjoy a little attention and perhaps more. Days like these were ones to not be alone, and so she let her decorated paws lazily guide her around the rogue lands; those that lingered between pridal borders.
Ears perking up, she noticed that there was one of those lion; at least, in all likelihood she was related to them. The Firekin. Though there were many red coats in the muddied blood line of rogues, the distinct red could easily be traced back to the Firekin and their fickle Finar-Si.
Tala never usually got along with the other female gods. Mmmm. Distracted with her thinking, she approached the red and white lioness much sooner than she had expected. Oh well.
"Mmm, hello," she purred smoothly, looking down at the vivid face of the stranger.

It would have been hard to miss the approaching goddess- but it took a bit of time for Amalahle to really accept what she was seeing was in fact another deity. She did not look as fierce as Dath or as Amalahle imagined Finar-si but she was still a god. And by the time Talayeh was close enough to address her, Amalahle was on her feet. She would be respectful. How unusual, though, that she kept running into gods now!
"Hello," she repeated, looking on with mild curiosity- still much more alive and social than she had ever been while in the Simo.

Talayeh was interested in asking her lineage, but figured it was something that, in the end, was unrelated to what was at hand. Which was merely a little meet and greet, a little preening on Tala's part, and departing. Easy enough.
Tala smiled slightly. "Wonderful day, is it not?" Tala was thinking about how to get the conversation on her, but something was a little...different. So instead she would turn her conversation on the (not so) little mortal, and see just what it was that made the goddess interested. "Plenty of things to do on such a day, like relaxing."
Tala sucked at talking with females. Oh well.

"Yes," she agreed, though with some hesitation. What a strange conversation to strike up with mortal- just walk up and chat like you weren't an unusual sighting or could possibly be acquaintances. Gods were already losing some of their mysteriousness to Amalahle but her attitude had yet to adjust fully. She was a little dull about chit-chat to begin with, so she had nothing really to do but wait and see if the goddess had something to say.

"That's all?" she asked, pretending to be a little shocked. She raised a paw to brush down part of her long mane before continuing. "I feel it is only fair to speak more myself. I am Talayeh, otherwise known as Fertility." She smirked. "Which...sometimes gives me a lot of insight on things."
Would elluding to what she thought help this lioness to just...talk more? Granted, she didn't want to talk about the subject of cubs, but the process there...that she didn't mind.

Unable to help herself, Amalahle looked Talayeh up and down when she introduced herself. Fertility. That definitely wasn't as intimidating as something like Chaos, but maybe it was, in other ways. Ultimately, Amalahle was indifferent on that topic. Still it was interesting.
"I'm Amalahle," she introduced herself in return, hesitating on whether or not to include her origin in an introduction- she was still proud of her heritage even if what remained of the Firekin was not what she wanted to associate with, "A former firekin." She held her head high, though slightly tilted as she considered what Talayeh said about her insight.

"Ah yes, the proud firekin." She approved the fact that she could recognize the brilliant colour of red. "One that keeps to Finar-Si, I see." Not much got past the gods, at least, the ones that lingered in the mortal realms and slightly cared about the switch in power and belief of those mortals.
"I'm sure you're impressed that there are more than just her? Those with the power to alter the lives of mortals, that is." That was something Talayeh was proud of, even if at other times it drove her nuts. She didn't help just anyone that asked, no. She had to get something in return for nearly everything she did, the vain little thing she was.

"That's right," she agreed quickly, proudly. It didn't need much justification here- but it was nice to say it loudly without worrying who might overhear and what they might really think of that. She had never gone out of her way to cause trouble, she knew better than that. Had known better than that. It didn't matter now. At best, out here she would run into Huria or other dispersed members. Perhaps watchers, but that was extremely unlikely.
"I am," she said, verbalizing her curiosity at her luck in locating deities now, "Though you're not the first I've met. It seems unusual that we would never have heard of more." Or that they had abandoned Finar-si so easily if it were easy to verify the existence of the gods.

Talayeh chuckled. "Not necessarily. Some gods are selfish," she stated. To her there was some truth in it, though what Finar-Si did was something that Tala had never tried to understand. To be honest she never really cared. Staying out of her way was simple when the favor was returned.
"Some like to hoard all for their own," she purred, "like me. I enjoy the company of males, like I am certain you will find soon enough." Rogues always were more like bunnies. Other than those Pridelanders. Euch.

She nodded slowly. She supposed Finar-si would have wanted to keep the pride to herself- and the pride had been all to happy to stick with her, perhaps she was the first and most important god to them. And the pride had been isolated once upon a time.. but even when rogues started to join, they hadn't heard anything. By then it was a rather taboo subject, though.
Still. It was seeming so strange, seeing so many.
"What do you mean?"

"Oh?" Perhaps she had not yet figured it out. No matter. She would soon enough. She walked around the lioness, just once, to get a better look. She spoke as she walked around, coming to a rest in front of the lioness, in a non-threatening manner of course. Talayeh was not a fighter.
"I'm sure you'll succumb to the passion at one point. There are many more males to choose from out here than in your homeland." Would that drive the point across, she wondered?

Amalahle watched with some moderate paranoia as she was circled, though she didn't move- she wasn't being threatening, even if it was Amalahle's first instinct to be wary. She raised a brow as Talayeh was more clear in what she was talking about and she got the point.
"Ah," she murmured, indicating that she understood, "Perhaps, if there was something more worthwhile to be found out here." Nevermind what already had been.

Talayeh's tail twitched. Well, that wasn't very exciting. She swallowed a sigh, as she didn't want to look too terribly disappointed. She knew that she could offer the female some decent males around these parts, but knowing that she was firekin blood made her change her opinion. She'd probably turn Talayeh down flat, and the goddess didn't want her emotions to get the better of her.
"There are. Just keep your eyes open," she winked. "Aaaah, I suppose I've bothered you long enough, haven't I?" Ah, probably. Oh well. She got a little of what she wanted, and still happy that she had guessed correctly that she was a firekin.

Having little insight into what exactly was going through the goddess's mind- and little idea in general on the subject except that she was sure anybody worth any special attention would be extremely rare, despite what Talayeh said. But perhaps not, she might have had just as many reasons to be picky, too. Amalahle really wouldn't have been able to say for sure based on such a brief meeting.
"Whatever you say," she said, daring to actually smile-- but not specifically saying anything on the topic of having been bothered.
