 Fancy that. Her own sister trying to kill her other sister, claiming separation and all that.
What a crazy. In her own family. Nyumbani could hardly believe it.
In any case, she had to find Tarajia and warn her, quickly. She was sure that with as determined as Ohahira was, there would be no stopping her. She had to go to Tara, maybe they could convince her together, but she really doubted it.
Frowning lightly, Nyumbani adressed her current situation. What was she going to do about all this? What could she do. For a moment she contemplated going home and finding mother. Just for a little while, to ask advice. If it happened, mother knew the answer to it. Of this Nyumbani was sure.
"Be careful Ohahira," she whispered lightly, hoping that Tara, too, would not turn to rage and the family would rip each other limb from limb. It was her fault all along, though. She let Tara go. She was such a soft heart, still was.

 Barazahi sauntered through the grass, just on another escape from the encampment. Her thoughts dwelled not on her ever-worrysome father, nor on her frail mother, nor on her hillbilly sister or brother, but on that hunk of white and pink back at home- Angusho. She, for once, allowed someone other than herself occupy her constant thoughts, and he was prominent. There was a bounce in her step and a tune being hummed from her throat, with a broad smile on her face. How she did love her Angu, she wanted to tell people about it, but it was a secret- a big huge secret. It hurt just to think about having to keep it.
As she continued on, a different white figure appeared on the horizon near those big tall trees. She was sure they were bordering the jungle, which meant the group was farther north than they should have been, by far. At any rate, she changed her course to meet the white individual ahead, certain that, should something go wrong, she'd be able to escape. Whatever it was was slightly smaller than she.

Alright, we admit that lying is bad. But Nyumbani really was a softheard; provided you were family.
The lion that was venturing her direction was definately not in that category, and so, naturally, the adolescent felt her skin begin to bubble and crawl with disgust. She wanted nothing more than to chase the outsider far, far away from here.
However, this person might have news on someone. Perhaps Tara or even Ohahira. Even coming from the land of the Unity Walkers would be good for her. She needed to find her way back there at some point, and hearing how her sister or mother was doing would be a harold angel singing to her from above. That is, if she had any particular liking in the gods. She particularily despised most of them. Or maybe it was neutrality? She didn't know for certain, but it made her ill to really think of them.
"Hey, you!" she called, trotting out to meet the figure that was already heading her direction. She was sure a bright individual. Nyumbani knew such ones existed, but she'd mostly seen whites, blacks, browns, and some golds wherever she went. All very mellow colors, but this blue resounded forwards like a lightning bolt, and the red eyes set her heart abeat nervously.
"Could I ask you a favor?" She stopped a good distance away, the hair on her neck raised, though she tried desperately to calm it. She must not act on looks alone.

Raza was unsure what it was in the lioness's tone. Something was hiding behind those words, but she couldn't discern it. Fear, agression, or both. Perhaps none of these, just friendly words that she was imagining the deeper meaning to. Either way, she shook the thoughts off and perked up at the sound of the stranger. She had a grassy-colored gold amongst the white, she hadn't seen anyone with such markings.
"Yeah, you could ask a favor," said Barazahi, keeping the distance between them as the other lioness had signalled that she wanted. "I'm Barazahi, Raza for short," she interjected before the stranger could continue.

Noyama was worried about giving this other her name, and when it interjected with its own, she was thrown off.
"Uh. . .er. . . nice to meet you," she stuttered. It was almost a question it was stated in such an awful manner. Clearly she wasn't used to dealing with strangers. Normally she fought them and got angry, chasing them to the end of the earth.
This time she needed its help.
"I'm looking for some people. They're uh. .. . well, they've got markings similar to mine, but different colors." She hoped that would be a good enough answer. "Have you seen them?" So it wasn't a big favor, but she wouldn't even give people that information.
Especially if she didn't know them and they were looking for her siblings.

Raza racked her memory, sitting down as if the effort of it might cause her to topple if she remained standing. She had run into many rogues, aware that each was full of darkness, and if they were brought back home with her, they could see the light, but... Raza didn't fully believe that.
She shook her head, passing over the faces she'd met. She'd seen quite a few rogues, and quite a few rogue lions at that, but none that matched the description. She picked her wording carefully, "I haven't seen anyone matching that description, I'm sorry. Is there a pride that they might be near? I know where lots of Prides are, I'm travelling," Raza said, desperate to help, even if the person she helped wasn't nearly as beautiful as she.
She couldn't help but add under her breath, "Even though the travelling is more like wandering." They'd been looking for their elusive pridal lands for so long, and had been going in circles, Raza often wondered if they'd ever get home.

That much was probably true. Nyumbani was no beauty to behold. She was rather ugly, in fact, kind of like a very plump redhead who always drank to much and had a nasty temper.
She wasn't round, or plump, but she certainly was big boned, and the muslces that rippled around her body showed she was more a killing machine that anything you'd ever want to enjoy pleasures with.
"Unity Walkers," she responded almost instantly.
So this one was travelling? Nyumbani could consider herself a traveller, too, she supposed.
"If you're lost, don't hesitate to call Mwokoti. She's the goddess of the lost. She'll help you find your way." Great lot of ******** job she'd done. Nyumbani intended to keep her as busy as possible. Hahi had been done with her, but she hadn't.

"I'm not lost," Raza said certain of herself. "I know where camp is." She remembered the name, though, so perhaps she could beg her father to ask the help of a goddess. Though, she doubted he'd like the idea that gods and goddesses really existed, aside from the ones the pride had. She hoped he'd listen to reason once.
"Unity walkers? I've been by there," she said, remembering. "I ran into a lioness named 'Latifu,' she helped me get re-oriented when I got off track over there." She waited to see if the name rang a bell before she continued.
"Their land is South of here," Raza said with a jerk of the head to the South. "If they're near the Unity Walkers, then heading South and then a little West... That should get you there. Straight South from here would take you through Umande'Mfuni lands, so you can avoid them if you wanted." She hoped that her information helped. Truly, it was Latifu to thank, as she had practically taught Raza what there was around that area.

Nyumbani shrugged. She couldn't care less if the other was lost or not, she was trading information for information. That's the way the world worked in the jungle. You always gave back what you borrowed. Even if you didn't know it.
But to be truthful, that Unity walkers information was terribly useful. This lion seemed ready to poor her heart out at every wavering moment. Nyumbani could probably ask her any question in the world and get an answer.
She marked south and west, then where she was. At least she knew the way home now.
"It was, thanks," and she dashed off without another word. She'd stop running soon, just enough to let the other know it was urgent she leave, but there was no way she could set such a greuling pace for so long.
There was no time to waste, she needed to get to Tara before Ohahira and she only hoped that the other wouldn't take offence and turn out to be some evil stewing whore.

Raza turned quickly as she dashed, watching the female head South. "You're Welcome!" she called, "Good luck!" She was a bit confused at the sudden disappearance, but the female had left with purpose in her stride, Raza was sure she wasn't wanted in the way. She hoped that whatever the quick-talking rogue had been after so desperately, she would get quickly.
Barazahi turned back towards the camp, awaiting a discrete snuggle from Angu, to whom she could relay the tale of what had happened. Raza headed off towards the West, taking a considerably slower, but equally purposeful stride.
