It was with a borderline listless sigh that Namiko meandered out of his mother's den. His mane was starting to come in, a sign that he should probably start stepping up, start showing himself as a capable adult, but honestly? He just felt tired all the time. He had no idea where he was going to go in life, or how to even start, for that matter.
.... Well, he mused silently to himself, maybe he should start with trying to find his own sleeping den. Somewhere that wasn't his mother's, anyway. It was starting to get a little cramped in there.
Namiko shook his head, trying to wake himself up a little more. Maybe he'd go get a drink, that might wake him up.

There was something he always liked about the watering hole. It was so peaceful, almost as if there was a truce between prey and predator because everyone needed to drink. With a hum of delight, the adolescent leaned down to take a drink.
Namiko almost didn't notice the cheetah making his way towards him until the other was already there nodding at him. Lifting his head slightly, he tilted his head to observe him quietly for a moment. This was the mate of his mother's retainer, wasn't he? The lion had obviously interacted with Usahtiel before, even become friends with Daichi during playdates, but he'd never really sat and talked with her mate before.
His ears flattened against his head. He'd never been very good at talking to people, especially strangers, and honestly, he mostly wanted to keep to himself.
But his mother had always impressed about having manners. So, sucking it up, Namiko spoke up, "Good morning..."

Oh good, well, he hadn't thought it was a stupid question.... or rather, he hadn't said anything. Namiko couldn't decide which was better/worst, honestly.
Clearing his throat, and giving what he hoped was a polite bow, he answered, "I'm Namiko... son of Lifa." Because most knew who Lifa was, by now. She was rather famous around here. He normally didn't like mentioning that he was related because of that, preferring to sit in the background, but it was how you introduced yourself around here. So... he was kind of stuck doing it.
He tried to think of how to change the subject, "A guard, huh? What's it like?" It was just as well that he truly was curious about the answer.

"Oh, well, that's good...." It sounded kind of boring to him, to be honest, but then, it was probably also necessary to keep the pride safe.
Though now he wasn't sure what else to say. That conversation hadn't really gone anywhere. Did he ask for further details? Try to change the subject again? The young lion stood there awkwardly for a minute, gaze turned as if trying to find something to make conversation with.
Finally, he cleared his throat, "I, um... I hope nothing really happens that would warrant excitement." That was diplomatic enough, right?
Namiko bit as the side of his mouth, his courage at starting this conversation now failing him, "Anyway... I'm probably holding you up, huh?"
