Welcome to Gaia! ::

Talaitha had settled in rather well with her new pride over the short time she had been with them. With as well as things had been going, other than a few idiots here and there, she thought perhaps she could afford to travel a bit. She had taken up making things for the pride. Though she had to learn not to suggest things like a cloak was to keep someone warm, because for some reason the pride members seemed to thing it admitting weakness to use such a thing. She did not understand how that was an advantage.

Regardless, she had also come to realize that while they raided other prides they did not always bring the best things home for someone like her to work with to make things. They took quite a bit that was very nice, but sometimes you could find better by going out and taking the time to look. Tal had seen the vanity of some of the pride. They wanted to look strong and successful, and that meant having the best. That was what had her out here now, searching for bones and feathers, and even small horns or teeth.

The black and white lioness had almost filled the little bag she had around her neck to carry these things and was quite happy with her haul. What she did not realize was that she was getting close to another pride. She did know she had come some ways from her own pride, but she really had no idea there was another pride nearby. She looked up to make sure nothing was sneaking up on her and was surprised to see what appeared to be a male lion not too far off. His mostly white coat was what got her attention. Perhaps she should go say hello.

Talaitha got closer to the male and grinned at him when he spoke. His voice sounded very kind. It was something she was not always graced with in the pride. About half the males were rather gruff, and the other half were not. It was nice to have the first out of pride stranger she encountered in a while be such a kind sounding male. It meant that as long as she did not threaten him, Tal was not going to have a problem of him threatening her. With her personality this was not going to be a bad encounter in the least. It cheered the lioness to think this might be a nice trip to remember.

"Good evening to you, sir. I am not often graced with the sight of such a fair pelt or pleasant manner as your own." Tal thought the gold and grey on him just seemed to bring out the crispness of his white fur. His grey eyes caught her interest as she made sure to look into them when giving her greeting. She had a little trouble looking away from them for a few moments before she was able to pull them away and ended up looking at his shoulder mark and then paws respectively. He was something to look at, wasn't he?

Tal remembered herself suddenly and pulled away from the male. Sure he was nice, and she would have loved to get to know him. The problem was he was still an outsider and she was still breaking rules by being outside the pride on her own. She would have to retreat before one of the patrols caught her out here with a stranger. They had barely let her out here herself as it was, the last thing she needed was this lion getting into trouble for her sake. "I should be going, I'm sorry. You should leave before someone sees you so close to the pride." She took off back for the pride lands quickly, not at a run but at a brisk trot. Perhaps she would have to get Reavers to bring back crafting supplies afterall.
