She broke off from the hunting party as she normally did. Mongol loved to wander the lands outside of the prides for the better part of the day before coming back. Call it her curious nature, but she liked to sniff out any visitors, welcomed or not, that were around.
It wasn't safe, going off from the party with what happened to the pride. They were still finding visitors and Mongol herself was sporting a sprained ankle on her back foot. Did she let it stop her? No. She continued on and made her way through some of the worst of the damage to her pride.
Her home was wrecked. It still smelled of blood, though old and dried, and it sent all kinds of uneasy feelings through her.
She stopped at one of the fissures int he ground and sat at it's edge, tail flicking this way and that as she continued to think.
"What did we do to anger the gods?" She asked herself, head sinking down. She might still be on the move, but these scars were always going to make her heart hurt. She just knew it.

One of... the lucky ones? Oh, that didn't sound good. With a worried frown, Meera padded a bit closer and then sat down, growing concern etched across her face.
"Did something happen? I travel around a lot, but I was here visiting my own family just a little while ago...." Or, well, it felt like it had only been a short time ago that she had been here, but in that time, she'd had a litter of cubs, had visited the Bahari, had done so many things.... Come to think of it, it really had been a while.
The cheeton itched to see her dad now, wanted to make sure he was okay, but she couldn't just leave someone high and dry like that. Turning back to her, she continued, "Even if it's minor, an injury still hurts."

Meera watched her, worried, for a moment longer, before smiling back as she introduced herself. "I'm Meera!"
She paused at her question and then answered with a hum, "No. At least, not for the foreseeable future." She grinned bashfully, "But this is like a home to me. My father -- and all of my family on his side -- live here, and they've been so welcoming, despite me coming and going." She hoped that they were all alright.
The cheeton shook her head, "I'd actually had news for him. It's part of why I was heading back here." She perked up, practically glowing at the idea of making a new friend in the Pridelands, "I take it you live here too? How have you been liking it?"

To be honest, spacey as she could be, Meera hadn't even realized that she was a hybrid like her. So she gave a startled but excited grin back at that, but then frowned a bit at the next part. She had still been a young adolescent the last time she was here, and hadn't noticed the problems that Mongol had spoken of. Clearly though, she had a lot to catch up on.
Something for another day. Right now, she wanted to focus on distracting from said problems.
The cheeton hummed in thought as she thought back to her exploits so far. "Sometimes the same, sometimes SUPER different. I've seen beaches and the ocean -- which has SOOOOO much water, it's crazy! And deserts where there's no water, but the people there are kind of stingy on who can enter, so I couldn't see too much of that."
She tilted her head, "It's really diverse, with a lot of different people."

She paused at that question, taking a minute to just think about it. Honestly, she loved all of the places she'd gone to so far. The beach and ocean were so warm and open, the swamps and marshes had been so exotic, and there were so many vast cultures (like the Skiringssal) that left her head spinning with her information. She was hoping that her next venture would take her to some of the colder climates she'd heard of, which surely would be just as fun.
But her favorite place to go to.... was probably when she returned to the Pridelands. She grew up in a savanna with her mother, had spent her teenage years here with her father, and when it came down to it, she always loved to return here during her off time. Plus, she'd recently gotten the idea of making a home base for herself. She wasn't sure where yet, but perhaps somewhere close to the Pridelands.
"I'm not really sure. They were all so colorful and exciting to see," Meera hummed in thought, "but honestly, I'd have to say the Pridelands. It's the closest I've got to a home." She paused with a laugh, "Though the beach is probably a close second. It's so nice there!"

The longer Meera took to answer, the more impatient the other hybrid grew. Mongol squirmed a little in anticipation, her tail flicking one way then the other in a rather excited way. It was almost as if she was a cub that just couldn't sit still. Excited about their birthday or something.
"Yeah, this place is honestly paradise."
She didn't know any better, but it was true. When she pictured any place she'd heard about, it didn't quite compare to her homelands.
"Well, if you're staying here tonight, we should head back to the den area soon." Glancing up at the sky, Mongol noticed it was growing more orange and pink, which meant the sun would be setting soon.

At Mongol's words, Meera looked up as well and blinked back at the setting sun. The day sure had passed quickly, but she supposed that she'd been traveling for most of the day. At least she'd run into someone, and even better, it was someone new!
With a smile, the cheeton nodded her head, "That sounds great to me! I can tell you more while we walk, if you want?" She felt like she'd found a kindred spirit in the other hybrid, and she certainly wouldn't mind chatting about her adventures so far.
Turning, she looked for the familiar large rock they called Pride Rock. "This way, right?" And then, not really waiting for an answer, she started trotting in it's direction.
Peppermint Coffee Fin either here or with the next post? :3
