[JRP - West] Yo title! Where you at? [Angara & Nia]

[Quaji]

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.

Breathing was beginning to get harder as she kept walking. Even that was starting to get difficult as time went on. How long had she been walking? Hours? Days? Weeks? The journey was hard, but the end result was close, she could feel it. Angara's quest for a place to belong and a place that would appreciate her designs was just behind the next tree or at least she hoped because the makeshift bag around her neck was starting to hurt her back as it rested on it. It was hard to think that all of her belongings fit in that one bag. Well, the gems and precious things in it really didn't count as all of her things, but she didn't have many to begin with so it really didn't matter.

"Maybe I should take a break..." The lioness mumbled to herself, her eyes searching the landscape around her in search of any source of water. Almost too gracefully, her ears fell back. There had been no sign of anyone around, but she was going in the right direction at least. She hoped. Angara sighed, her walking pace came to a halt as she sat down on the ground beneath her, her mind racing as she tried to figure out what to do. Her spirits had started out high but were beginning to plummet with each passing minute and the weight of her bag was growing heavier as well, it seemed.

While trying to motivate herself to keep going, Angara hadn't even noticed the other lioness approaching until she spoke. Her head jerked up, ears quickly turning forward as she was brought to attention. "Huh, what? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you." She of course was nervous. It had been a while since she had seen anyone around. A kind smile appeared on her mouth as she bowed her head politely to the stranger, just as her mother had taught her to back when she was a child. "I'm alright, thank you for your concern." Of course the politeness was something she was also something she was trying to stop, at least some of the times. She couldn't even recall how many times she had nicely asked a hyena to stop taking her kill. It didn't work.

Angara nodded slowly. Of course she wouldn't go telling her about her long travel and how her paws ached so bad. Well, at least she hoped she wouldn't though she had this way of just rambling sometimes. Like she was doing in her own thoughts right now. Wait, did she say Lady, duties? That must mean... "Pride!" The lioness blurted out and instantly regretted it as she quickly shrunk back a bit. Oh how her mother would have scolded her just now if she had been there. "I, uh..." Oh come on Angara, think of something! "I don't actually have any duties yet. You see, I'm not actually part of a pride yet."

"Guard? You're actually the first lion I've seen for a while now. I actually though I was still in the rogue lands to be quite honest." Angara replied simply to her question, her ears turning backwards as her tail slid underneath her. At least this lioness didn't seem mad about her being here, just confused though maybe that was just by her sudden yelling. Maybe she wouldn't get thrown out after all, which of course was her main worry after finding out that this was a pride's territory.

She nodded her head after the second question was asked. "Well, mostly lost. I was trying to find someone or someplace that would appreciate my work." Angara raised her head proudly as she explained with a smile, "I'm a crafter, well, sort of. I'm not very good right now, but I'm learning to get better."

The West? Were there other directions or was the pride called 'the West' and it contained various family houses in it? Those would all be questions for another time but for now Angara just nodded as she tried to understand as much as she could. At least the West, whatever it was, would appreciate her talents which was good. She was tired of walking and she really wanted to get the sack on her shoulder off so she could properly rest.

Respectful? Could she be respectful? You bet your pretty tail she could be! Or at least she could try, and not make her mother's lessons go to waste. "Thank you Nia. My name is Angara and I'd love to see your pride."
