Welcome to Gaia! ::

She had left to go find some food for them to eat since she was always the early riser but hadn't been really successful this morning. Making her way back towards where she had left Hachi she realized that he was no longer alone, or at least about to no longer be alone.

Hoping that this male wasn't anyone wanting to hurt either of them she watched the two of them exchange words it seemed and everything seemed alright for the most part? As she approached she looked the male over and turned her attention towards Hachi, "Who is this?" She asked looking towards the stranger.

Wasn't she a bundle of flowers.

((Log from here))
Hachi turned his attention to Tera as soon as she approached. He audibly sighed, and releif washed over his maw. Tera would know what to do, she was so much more canny at this sort of thing than him. "Uhm..I dunno." He headbutted the lioness affectionately. "He only just arrived." He grins a little foolishly, his deep chocolate eyes looking to Tera for guidance.

She would know what to do.

Haru had just been about to return the greeting when the lioness padded up to the yellow male. He used to pride himself on knowing everyone by sight, not by name of course but by sight, it seemed there were a lot of new comers in the pride at the moment. This of course wasn't a bad thing. He hadn't been born here after all.

Of course the lionesses some what salty tone made him chuckle inwardly. He knew not to be offended, firekin were short and to the point, it was a part of their charm. "Greetings to you both, I am Haru." He smiled a friendly smile and pondered if he should announce who he was in relation tot he pride, he had done that with another newcomer and he had sounded a little foolish. Deciding against this he settled himself in to a sit, he could stay for a moment before continuing his rounds. "I'm just doing my rounds, force of habit from my guard days." He cleared his throat and tilted his head questioningly. "I don't believe I know either of you by sight, did you I both join recently?" He had always been curious, and knowing faces, if not names, was perhaps more his job now than it had ever been.

She was still getting used to the fact that they were part of a pride now. Of course he was just doing rounds, it was polite to come introduce ones self. "It's nice to meet you Haru, old habits die hard I suppose." Her comment reflecting her initial reaction and his want to patrol. "We are newly joined, yes. I'm Tera and this is my Mate, Hachi."

Haru tilted his head at the red female. She seemed to be in charge, which again, was not an unusual occurrence in the firekin, if asked, he would most certainly say that Uriah was in charge of him. Chuckling quietly to himself he gave a little nod. "I thought as much, how are the sands treating you?" The blood red lion lifted a brow. His curiosity was basically boundless, he supposed that was why he had made a good guard.

Hachi nods sagely, he knew Tera would know what to say, of course she would, she was an intelligent lady, she knew exactly how to approach these social situations. "Yes, my name is Hachi." Repeating that he felt silly and he grinned at Tera to tell her as much, haru seemed very friendly, simply curious, which made the golden male relax, just a little. "It's strange, being a part of a pride." He decided to air his own feelings at that moment and smiled at Tera. "Strange, but nice." He mused.

At least he had taken her initial outburst well, otherwise the situation might be going different. "I like it well enough, were you born here?" She was curious to know if he'd been here his whole life or not, he might have some useful insight.

She smiled kvetch towards her big ougf of a mate and gave his cheek a lick. "It is nice. We haven't been around others in a while. Just been us taking on the world." She chuckled.

Haru shook his head "No, I was born a rogue, I didn't come to the firekin until I was an adult. My mate and I joined together, not unlike the both of you." He chuckled quietly, thinking of Uriah always made him happy. "We have ties in the moto'jamii though, my mates mother was of the sand."

Hachi looked at Haru and both of his brows raised, he was the same as them. Well he would have followed Tera absolutely any where, she was the light in his life, slowly followed by hares obviously but, she came first. Her gentle lick made him flush a little, he loved his lady so much. It occurred to Hachi that Haru had been here for a long time, he guessed that rogues could settle here then even if initially they felt a little, out of place. "I'd pretty much follow Tera, or a hare any where." He chuckles leaning against his lady mate with a silly grin on his maw.

So he was as much in the same boat as them, well at one point. "It would seem fate smiles with favor upon my mate and I." She listened to him and leaned back against Hachi.

"Perhaps you could show us around?" She asked hopeful he'd be willing to give them a tour. She was fine if it took a day or so, she wasn't sure how big this place actually was.

Hachi smiled and nuzzled Tera's cheek fondly, he was glad she had asked that, it seemed they had found the perfect creature to show them the way of the firekin. "Lead the way." The yellow and black male stands and stretches. It would be nice to get to know the land that they were now a part of.

Haru nods and turns "You can accompany me on my rounds then I can show you further tomorrow." He replies picking up his paws and settling back in to his slow loping trot.

"I think that sounds splendid." She replied at his offer to accompany him on rounds. She glanced over towards her mate and gave him a deep smile, this was it, they had finally found a place to be accepted and belong. She couldn't wait for their story to continue onto the next chapter.
