[PRP] Wandering Fire (Unguzo x ?)

[Excited Apathy]

A leopard strolled along casually, a black flame-like marking on his shoulder seeming almost to flicker with each step. One might expect a scout (or a spy) to act more stealthily, but Unguzo'damu thought the best way to assume stealth this far from the Kitwana'antara borders was to act as if he belonged whereever he was. Hide in plain sight, if you will. It helped that he ran into few truly aggressive souls out here; most were pleasant enough. Scanning the area with intense blue eyes he wondered who, if anyone, he might find today.

The day had been uneventful at best, but certainly not boring. Haraka`swali had paid his respects to a herd that fed him and enjoyed a quick dip in waters that weren't so deep to drench him, but cool enough to relax his sore muscles. The walk itself had been hard enough, but the choice he made to include a mountain was a poor one. He mumbled his agrivations to the rippling surface of waters that had once stood still as glass. Of course they didn't respond, but his reflection that rippled along with it returned the look of annoyance. Haraka sighed softly and replaced the look of annoyance with a gentle smile. It was no ones fault, but his own.

"Oh well." He found himself saying to himself with yet another sigh to follow. Cresting the smallest of hills in the otherwise flat terrain he grimaced slightly, but felt immediate delight at the sight of something startling against a rather dull mix of colors. Red wasn't something found in the natural palette he walked with and so it was easy to assume he'd found some individual doing much the same as himself - wandering. Eager to pursue the individual, but not foolish enough to approach with a thunderous hello he skirted the red pelted, leopard as he discovered, in hopes to not startle him. Once in a better position he chose to approach with that friendly smile he knew would earn him at least a conversation.

"Hello there." Haraka heard his voice and gave thanks to the gods above that he was able to remain calm in the face of strangers. It helped him to his goals of finding answers or even better, new questions. Formalities weren't forgotten in his excitement and he continued the friendly grin. "The names Haraka`swali, sorry to interrupt, but I haven't seen to many others around here." He swished his tail behind him lightly as he spoke, but the action was left behind as he waited for the leopard to speak.

Unguzo hadn't been unaware of the purple male's approach, his sharp ears noting the footsteps closing in as being rather unlike that of an aggressive pursuit. Turning to face the stranger, he met the friendly grin with one of his own as he tried not to be too obvious in looking the male up and down. "Haraka'swali, is it? You can call me Unguzo, and don't worry--it's no trouble. What might bring a lion like yourself to these parts?" He liked to get a feel for the sort of creature he was dealing with before taking that chance of making them aware of the pride's general location. A lion especially warranted care; there were those that might wish the pride ill, but he would make those vulnerable to the disease aware of the risk if he could.
