If she ran away now, would Facio come for her? Probably not right away, he was on his finally on his way to Mittere. He wouldn't stop for Tisiphone. But when that goal was fulfilled, what would be left for him? If she ran away, she would be his next target and that would be that. He trained her well but he knew all the same tactics she did, she wouldn't be able to hide from him. Not for long enough.
Hunting. She was supposed to be hunting right now. She had insisted on going alone tonight after refusing a meal they had caught as a family. Tisiphone was weary of this long trip to the Kitwana'Antara. Megaera's cubs were growing up right in front of them all, and it was slowing them down. It made the time they spent on Facio's single-mindedness all the more obvious. Sitting quietly in the dark, Tisiphone thought about her time in the Pridelands. She had never truly been free, even then she was spying for her father, hoping to find Mittere in the hugely populated pride.. but she had gotten comfortable there. She felt immensely guilty about it because she had a job to do but even guilty comfort was missed now.
If she ran away.. would it be worth it? |

The eternal pilgrim, that was what Narayan had always considered himself. He knew nothing of obligation nor duty but understand surely the call of the of the wild and his ever burning need to know more, see more. When he had been set free to find his name he had only come to understand that he was Narayan, a soul ever curious and wandering. There was no name that would satisfy. Nothing was quite right.
It was that same curiosity that brought him so close to the pack of lions and, tonight, across the path of the lavender lioness. He saw her, a shock of purple above the tall grass he had been slinking through, not at all the deer he had hoped to find. There was a set to her bones, the way her feet carried her without thought, that made him want to turn back - whatever was on her mind didn't seem like it was exactly uplifting her mood. He'd run into enough lionesses to know he shouldn't cross one he didn't know.
Of course, the moment he thought to edge away, his distracted paw found a thick, dry twig and snapped it clean in two. The noise was unmistakable and anyone with half a brain would have been able to pinpoint it across the open field. Frozen with indecision, his green eyes locked right on her face.
Damn it all.
"Sorry," he called at last, pushing himself to his full height even as his muscles tightened with uncertainty. "I was just leaving.."
Ecavi I know it's not anyone we talked about but I was looking through and he clicked! >3>

He answered the question exactly as she would have, even though it was clear she wasn't actually trying to hunt at the moment. It was what she was supposed to be doing, though, so it would naturally be her answer. Still, she didn't move but rather stared at him as he offered a name.
Narayan.
She ought to have warned him off of coming farther this way but there was no point in that, if Facio crossed paths with a stranger he put on a smile and played dumb until they parted ways. Nobody had ever been persistent enough to wear through his patience, looking at how ready this one was to run, he'd be fine.
Still..
"You're heading in the wrong direction," she offered, "Nothing this way, my family has already scared everything off."

The hesitation was either very good or very bad, he knew. No one considered a question that long if they weren't having a hard time though, of course, that begged the question of why she was having a hard time with it at all. He raised one dark brow at her as she stood there, stuck in her internal limbo, and found himself wondering for the first time who this family was that she traveled with.
But, true to his bard's nature, as soon as she spoke up again he wiped the thought from his mind and offered a proud brow of his head coupled with a rather ridiculous sweep of his paw. He arced it out and away from him, in the direction of the open lands and what he hoped was a successful trip. He didn't know her at all but even he thought that perhaps she could use a good night, even if it was just tracking down a startled herd with a stranger.
"Alright then, Leta," he stood again and turned to that direction, already moving away from where they had collided paths, "let's get a move on. We'll lose most of our advantage if we don't find them before sun up."
