"Careful now," The voice remarked. It was deep and rumbling, but seemed to have no malice behind it. For all intents and purposes the gazelle was safe from whatever had found her. A little look around and she would eventually catch sight of the lumbering male, who'd chosen to recline comfortably in the shadows. The sun had become rather hostile this afternoon and it was simply advantageous for him to hide... More importantly, this far out ensured him some peace and quiet from some of the gossip in the pride.
Ah, but they were taking the news that their beloved Death Priest had succumbed to fate rather well. All things considered, Isiike's death had been sudden and fortuitously timed. He had died just as change was sorely needed to ensure the survival of the pride and to some, that timing had been just a little too good.
That being said...he had died in the catacombs, and no one would dare to go in there right?
"You're heading towards some rather hungry individuals," he warned and shook his head. "Best to remain where you are, this place is much safer, none are allowed to come here except for me," he murmured. Interestingly, she'd managed to find her way into sacred land but he saw no offence in it, he was merely curious. If she'd gotten in, then that meant somewhere had become exposed to the outside world and that might very well have been the same location that their pregnant lioness had come from...

"I've had my fill of food for a while," Itiri chuckled and shook his head. "Rest assured I was raised not to play with my food and holding a polite conversation isn't something I would do if I were inclined to hurt you," he tilted his head to the side as he regarded her for a moment or two. This wasn't to say that if she kept heading closer to the inner reaches of the pride, she wouldn't find a very different fate...One of the other Nezi might find themselves hungry.
"As to what this place is," he paused thoughtfully as he glanced around him. What followed was a pursing of his lips and a quiet consideration of how best to answer her. "You are in the land of the dead, for want of a better description," he said at last. "This is where the cycle of life is revered and closely guarded," he explained. He wouldn't go in to the details of his pride, but he would at least give a small description and credit where it was due to the pride and the work they did both with the living and the deceased.
"My name is Itiri," he added, keeping to his shadowed refuge. If he stayed where he was, she would probably settle a touch. "And you could say that I'm in charge here," he mused. "Or at least familiar enough with this region to know you are probably quite far from home."
"So what brings you here, hm?"

"I know exactly where our borders lie," Itiri confirmed. He was perhaps the only one who genuinely knew where it lay, unless his brother had found the same divide during his own Trials. While Itiri hadn't discussed it with him, there was every chance they had found the same thing... Alternatively, Imani might have given him information in regards to it.
"And you are not terribly far from it," he added with a slight smile. He lifted a paw and motioned back the way she had came. "All you'll need to do is turn around and keep going until you hit a wall," he explained. "Once you reach that wall, keep your left shoulder to it and keep walking," he continued. His intention was to steer her away from the inner most regions of the forbidden land where she really would get lost...and possibly hurt.
"Eventually you'll find yourself in some rather beastly greenery, but something as slight as you should be able to wriggle your way through it," He chuckled. He couldn't however guarantee her safety and nor would he try, if she found someone else, they might end up being less pleasant and she really would have to make a run for it!
"That being said I imagine our lands are just as dangerous as any other region for one such as yourself, it really just depends on who you meet," he clucked his tongue. "If in doubt, you can always run, your kind are rather good for that when they need to be, you know?"

She was an unusual one.
He'd never met a prey beast, one that lived in herds normally, who sought to be on their own. It was puzzling but he wasn't about to question the life choices of another individual who might have very good reasons for choosing her own path. In all honesty he would have assumed that strength in numbers would be more viable, particularly if you weren't the weakest individual, but there were things beyond the borders that not even he knew of and he would be remiss to assume he did.
...Suffice it to say that the Gazelle probably knew what she was doing, even if she had accidentally walked in to a place she probably shouldn't have been to begin with. At least she'd met someone benevolent first, right?
"Be careful where you're walking," Itiri advised with a smile. "It goes without saying that you should run if you aren't feeling particularly safe," he added. "But you already know how to survive and there's no point in me preaching to you," he conceded and shook his head. "May you find non-hungry individuals on your way out as well, just to make the trip easier for you," he murmured gently.
"If all else fails you can always kick them in the nose anyway," he finished. If she did that, then he'd look forward to the tales he received when he returned to the inner pride. The indignation of those hunters would be fairly entertaining!
