In mind and body she was an adult now... but according to pride custom she was very much a child. It hadn't necessarily been her fault that she had been cubnapped, or lost her mother prior to the event, but it had been that series of events that had led to this moment. The Kizingo'zaa didn't treat her unkindly, in fact they treated her very well and always had done since she had entered their care... but until she truly found her place in society she wasn't really an adult, not to them anyway.

Unfortunately for her, growing up she had never had any definitive ideas on what she wanted to be. There had been the civilian ranks, specialising in social and mercantile aspects of their society... and then there had been the more militant ranks. For the longest time nothing had interested her, and thus she had wandered to and fro in a way that very much appealed to her rather lowly rank.

Now though?

She had come to her senses and had concluded that she had to repay the pride for their love and careful upbringing. Despite the somewhat joking rank, one that seemed to hint that she was being a touch entitled, they had raised her as one of their own.

It was only fair she returned the favour.

...She just wasn't sure what her real calling was yet - a healer, a fortune teller, a merchant...?

Despite her dilemma she had to admit that it was a lovely morning; then again it always seemed to be lovely in the Kizingo'zaa. She hadn't ever seen a day go by where anyone ever went "urgh" and regarded the sky with a level of distaste. She should have counted her blessings in that respect, and to a degree she did... even if she happened to take it for granted like everyone else. Who knew, one of these days she might end up missing it should she choose a military life and have to explore beyond the borders.

Nevertheless, before she had sank to deep into her musings, she was afforded a friendly greeting. It was a creature she had never seen before - quite obviously a feline, but like none she had ever seen before. How curious; perhaps he was some form of lion from a far off place? All she knew was that he had a rather pleasant coat, a pale green and certainly much more subtle than that of some of the lions within her pride.

"Yes, yes it is," she agreed and tilted her head to the side. "Although it usually is here," she confessed. "I've never actually seen a bad day in all my years here, I guess something really, really likes us," she added with a delicate smile.

"Who might you be? You don't seem to be Bahari, your fur isn't curly enough," she motioned to him. "But you're certainly not from around here, I'd remember you other wise."

Her name?

"Ad - Shimmer Smith," she corrected and gave her cheek a sheepish rub. She was still growing used to the fact that she had two names, one which she was starting to think she would never use again, and another which she was always supposed to used. "You can call me whatever you like though, folks around here have a habit of shortening names of anyone who has a particularly long one," she explained.

Nevertheless when he mentioned the Bahari her brow did raise, peculiar wasn't really how she would have described them, but that might have been because she happened to be their neighbours!

"Oh you did?" she tilted her head to one side. "How are they peculiar? Did they do something to you?" she asked with a grin.  

[Epine de Rose]

"And then you came here?" she pondered.

Either the Bahari had encouraged him to explore the lands further, he'd been directed here, or he'd simply stumbled across them by accident. Regardless, he was most assuredly welcome so long as he didn't cause any trouble. Based on his behaviour he seemed to be harmless so she didn't have any immediate concerns. Granted she wouldn't really have been able to do anything if she did have concerns but that was beside the point.

"What brings you all the way up here then?" she continued and tilted her head to the side. "Now you've seen the sand you want to see what's in the jungles?" she asked with a smile. "We've got lots of flowers if that's your thing."

"I don't see why not," Shimmer shrugged her shoulders, the same warm smile on her lips. She had no real reason to stop someone who was genuinely interested and as of yet, they had nothing of concern on their lands anyway. When it came down to it he would be perfectly safe and maybe he might find something useful to bring home? She'd heard the alchemists and the Hlare all mention that various plants from different regions contained special properties.

"I don't really have anything to give you that would help you hold them," she confessed. "But if you can find a way to transport them home I don't imagine anyone will have a problem with you exploring a little," she confirmed and motioned to what lay behind her. "You'll find them all over the place, but if you need to find shelter to stay for the night we're right over there - "

She paused.

"You should be able to find our beaten paths if you look closely enough, sadly I don't know anything about herbs so I wouldn't be terribly useful, but you seem like you might know enough as it is."

Shimmer watched him go for the time being - while she had her own things to work on for now, if she managed to finish those up and settle her own train of thought then it would likely she would go and seek the hybrid out. He seemed fun and while she had no real interest in plants from a medical point of view, she did have a certain amount of curiosity about who and what he was... He was the first hybrid she had ever seen after all!

Alas, as he disappeared from her view she made a mental note of his direction and set about her work once more... Perhaps she would join him sooner than she expected...

I think this one can be rounded off for you now! Viher will be able to have all his females soon! ^__^
