Jauhar, Tendaji's rainforest, and a home that Ujana hadn't seen in ten years.
She marveled at it's lusch flora that blossomed shades of blue, purple, and red. Oba hadn't been nearly so colorful; the sands remained the same as ever and there was so little plant life that everything may as well have been brown from the start.
With her father and sister preparing to return home to Tale, Ujana was left to her own devices. She walked away from their traveling group far into the rain forest at a leisurely pace. Every so often the young warrior would reach out to prod a passing fungi, flicking it's little glowing appendages just to watch it bobble. The soil was harder here and black, which was perhaps the hardest adjustment for her. Ujana had grown used to running on stone and sand, so moving on such easy terrain gave her a burst in speed-
-which ultimately led her to being horribly lost.
She blinked and turned around, trying to find some sort of path, and coming up short. "Well this is great. Just great." If her father wasn't already miffed about her decade long disappearance then he definitely wouldn't be happy about this one. Though she hoped she wouldn't be gone that long again.

It had taken her a while but here she was, back in Jauhar. It was such a relief to her to know that she was no long on the other side of Tendaji and so far out of reach from Aisha. Ariya took a deep breath of the moist jungle air and let it out slowly. "Ahh, it's good to be home." When she spoke out loud her new familiar popped his head up out of her cleavage. Since he was still a young snaptrotter that is where he stayed so that nothing could harm him. Ariya hadn't minded since her cleavage was large enough to conceal him. Though now that he had his head out she brought her free hand up to rub under his chin. The Alkidike's other hand was busy holding her spear and making sure it didn't get tangled in the vines that she passed by. She was content to walk like that until she heard someone speak. Right away her ears gave a small twitch and she stopped moving. A random sound from a person in the middle of the woods was like finding a shining light in the dark. Ariya loved shiny things! Using her antennae to help her with her awareness she managed to find just where the sound and person were. "What's so great?" The alk spoke up just as she moved in the direction the voice had come from.

Ujana brushed her fingers up against one bright violet tree trunk. She unconsciously ghosted the tips against it's jagged exterior while thinking about a way to climb it. Maybe if she just went high enough then she could see what way she needed to go. Too bad she wasn't a shifter, or even an alkidike-
"Hrm?" At first she didn't see the speaker, but then all too soon it became difficult to see anything other than her. "Woah! Didn't expect to see one of your kind this close to a shifter village. Times must have changed a lot since I've been gone." Ujana flashed off her teeth in a broad smile. She'd never been especially nervous around alks, had always seen them like one of her own, really, given what her family was like. Alkidike hybrids made up an entire section of her family, but meeting the real deal was always knew.
Especially when it was a pretty woman and not one of her younger cousins. "That bit earlier was all sarcasm. I got lost and - Spirits! You've got a snapper in your breasts." Of course she was only looking that way because of the strange creature. Naturally it wasn't out of an innate curiosity to see what the woman had been endowed with.

She looked a bit confused when the woman said that she didn't expect to see one of her kind. Ariya wasn't aware that there was more conflict with the shifters. Though she shrugged it off and smiled, her lip stud giving a glint of the glow all around them. As the leaf member told her that she had been lost she was about to nod her head in understanding but stopped when there was a declaration about what was in her cleavage. Ariya laughed and looked down at the young trotter that was cozy there. "Yea, his name is Matal." Lifting her gaze back up to the long haired female in front of her she grinned. "Don't tell me you don't use your breasts to hold things." The alkidike made no attempt to hide her stare. Heck she was sure Ujana had a bigger set than her.

"Matal's got the best seat in the house." Ujana chuckled. She stepped forward, completely unaware and uncaring about personal boundaries. Once she was close enough the leafling reached up to scratch the area underneath his...chin? Snout? The concept of having to reach up was a new one to her, as Ujana was so used to dwarfing damn near everyone around her.
She didn't linger with her hand that close to a stranger's bosom, though; Ujana was a fool, but not that big of a fool. "Well yeah, of course I do! My girls hide some of my best things; my coin pouch, important letters, wineskins...whatever I can shimmy in there, really. Never tried anything living, though. That's a new one." Ujana couldn't imagine how weird it must feel, having something squirming around like that. No matter how she thought about it, the concept always came out as sexual, and that was an odd way to think about a stranger.
"You know," she brought up coyly, crystalline eyes sparking with mirth, "I've always heard of Snaptrotters being ridden as mounts, but never one that took an Alkidike for a mount."

"Yes he does. Though mostly he just sleeps in there." Ariya chuckled and shrugged her shoulders. When the leaf woman went to pet the young snaptrotter the Alkidike watched her hand. Of course her green trotter loved the attention and gave a small squeak as he tried to extend his neck in order to get even more. With an arched brow she seemed amused by the list of things that this woman kept hidden away in that cavern. It was enough to make Ariya lean a little so that she could peek down the cleavage and attempt to spot any of those things. As she was trying to play seek and find with her eyes she heard the leafling mention the mount thing. "Heh, well it doesn't happen." Her gaze finally moved from the lovely pair up to Ujana's eyes. "Only a strong woman can mount an Alk." There was a playful wink afterward and then she moved back a little.

Bold. It wasn't often that anyone met Ujana on her level of open observations, and to be looked at so brazenly peeked her interest. In her eyes there wasn't any point in hiding initial attractions; that sort of thing just got in the way later. The fact that this one wasn't even trying to...was very, very promising.
And then that flirty line! Ujana popped off with an open laugh, "That was so bad and I love it!" She tried to hold it back a little, but that only ended with the leafling snorting. Sheesh, and she thought her pick up lines stunk! Or was it that the Alks were just so smooth that Ujana couldn't recognize them as such?
"So, what's it with you? Do you normally come out here to use your little friend as bait to lure in 'strong women' or are you headed somewhere? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Far from it."

Ariya grinned but gave a short laugh of her own. "It was, wasn't it." Ah well. For what it was worth she hadn't really seen anyone else as even remotely good looking since Maya. She certainly never expected it to be an earthling that made her look at others that way again. As the woman asked if she used her familiar for this type of encounter often she chuckled and shook her head. "No, not at all. I am on my way back to the Chibale Islands. I've been away for several years." Just thinking about it made her even more homesick. Ariya put the bottom end of her spear on the ground and leaned some of her weight on it. Since she was a little on the chubby side she knew better than to trust the soft earth with a stick with her size.

"Chibale, huh?" Ujana couldn't curb her disappointment. She looked over her shoulder, then turned abck to the Alk. "No way I could convince you to do a little detour? It wouldn't be long; I just...well, I'm lost and there's a shifter settlement around here but I'm just not sure where." Ujana scratched the back of her neck, both in thought and to get rid of some of the sweat soaked hair clinging to her skin.
"I understand if you'd rather go home, though. I'm going home myself for the first time in ten years so I understand the urge." Tale was certainly going to be something new for her to adjust to after living in Oba for so long. In all honesty if she could have had her family and still been able to stay in Oba then Ujana would have been thrilled, but with her father being the way he was this was her only option.

The disappointment she saw on the leaf woman's face made her tilt her head slightly. "Well I hope it would be longer than that.." She couldn't help it. The opening had been there. Once that was out of her system she looked around then back at Ujana. "Yea, I can get you there. I mean I do have the urge but I wouldn't mind helping you." Her shoulders lifted slightly. Grabbing the shaft of her spear she stepped closer to the leaf woman and nodded for her to follow. Ariya wasn't sure how exactly she'd gotten lost, there were clear paths for those who couldn't navigate the jungle, but she was happy to help out. Maybe Aisha would notice her good deed and give her a good woman in return.

"Again? Wow, you're lucky I like your pep, otherwise I would have decked you by now." Ujana smirked, flexing one arm just for show. She bent her head slightly to kiss her bicep before returning it to her side. "Pow! Right in the mug."
Watching the way she picked up that spear and stepped closer, forcing Ujana to look up even more...Oh, it was enough to make her feel like a damsel in one of those silly stories recited to her as a child.
Hell, if the alkidike was interested, all she'd have to do was buy Ujana a few drinks, a hearty meal, and she would hop into those arms like an over eager Radaku pup. Take me home, I'm yours!
"So, do you have a name, hot fluff?"

"I couldn't help myself." Ariya chuckled yet again and when the leaf woman showed off her muscles, well she couldn't help what she did then either. With her free hand she reached out to caress the bicep after it was kissed. She gave an appreciative hum and got even closer so that she could slip her arm past Ujana and wrap her hand in the long hair behind her. To say the earthling was tempting was an understatement. The Alkidike would give a small tug on her hair before letting go and dragging her fingertips over Ujana's shoulder, bordering on exploring the girls. Ariya smirked and dropped her hand to her side. "I do, but your pet name sounds better." Lifting a brow she paused for a moment before asking, "Am I taking you or no?" More or less, this leaf woman had become Ariya's shiny thing and as such held her attention.

Ujana certainly hadn't expected the warm reception her gun show had brought. While it wasn't unwelcome, it did give the leafling pause. For once she was quiet as she watched the alkidike move closer, a shiver drawing down her spine. She never moved her eyes away from the alk's, although she didn't need to; Ujana could feel those fingers on her shoulder as if they were being branded into her skin.
"Yes." Ujana blurted on a breathless sigh. When she realized that the question was likely not as dirty as she immediately jumped to, Ujana blinked and tried to get her mind in working order. Aww, who was she kidding? There was enough tension here to build a wall and Ujana wasn't about to beat around this bush for much longer. "I don't know about you, but the last thing I want right now is to go back to my family. What say you and I find a nice little niche somewhere to...get to know each other a little better?"

Well that answer was unexpected. Ariya rather enjoyed the breathless tone too, which caused her to smirk a little. The thing that most surprised her was herself. She had been almost certain that she had lost all interest in anyone in such a way but here she was, with an earthling no less. So when the question came up about finding a place to get better acquainted she looked around and let the tension build a bit more. The Alk was having too much fun to be in a hurry with this. Though she did finally bring her black gaze back to Ujana as her hand found its way to the woman's hip. "Mm, that sounds like a good idea my leafy amazon." While this woman was by no means close to being an alkidike, she was certainly built strong enough to be the earthling version of a warrior. A fact that seemed to pique Ariya's interest even more. She moved her hand slowly across Ujana's lower back before finally pulling her closer so that their bodies were touching. Leaning down just enough to reach the pointed ears of her new found interest she gave a small kiss to tip then whispered. "I suppose you'll need a name to scream huh? I'm Ariya." Her level of flirting had apparently reached new heights and it was thanks to the beautiful earthling she had in her grasp right now. She was likely going to savor this encounter and drag it out as long as possible, which meant Ujana wasn't likely to make it back to her family for some time at least.

Whatever vestiges of reserve Ujana had kept fled the moment Ariya brought their bodies together. Ujana rolled her hips, cementing her own interest in this little game they were playing. Her father would ground her for life if he knew she was this close to an alkidike. Maybe that was where the attraction was, that allure of the forbidden, but Ujana didn't think that was it. She was genuinely digging what Ariya was putting down; and if dear old pop didn't like who her daughter played her games with then he could deal with it on his own time.
Ujana raised her left leg and trailed it up Ariya's outer thigh while her fingers made their way to the alkidike's shoulders. She pulled her closer, allowing her just the reach needed to hook her leg on the others hip. "Ariya...put your spear down." She grinned. What was the point in pretending that they were going to go anywhere other than where they were? "Unless you plan on hoisting me over your shoulder, that is."
