It still felt strange to Alamea, to not be expected to do soul-crushing nonsense work meant to break the spirit. After spending her entire youth simply pushing stones, she proved a spirit hard to break. The action had done her some good, giving her strong and lean muscles, filled with power and strength. They came in handy bringing down the surprisingly strong desert prey, and much handier in dragging one back alone, much like the antelope she dragged by its neck. It was almost as if she was more giant leopard than lion, creating a track in the sand. Her eyes remained fierce as ever, never seeming to relax even when she spied Wook, tilting her head just slightly.

The lioness only gave a slight nod, heading for the water. When she got close, she finally let the kill go and went to take a good gulp. It wasn't the same as what she could drink, plentiful and until she was full, out in the grasslands, but it was still enough to quench her parched throat. Only once she had had her fill did she look at Wook, taking him in. "You seem familiar... You look a bit like the one lioness with the heavy limp on her front paw. And a bit like the one loud-mouth nobody seems to like much." Her accent was evident, the mixture of speaking two other dialects evident. Some sounds were more guttural, more Nergui in nature, while others had the smoother sound of the northern dialect the Hongshan used. To her own ears, it was nothing unusual, though she'd had one lion comment on it already.

She let out a little huff of amusement, "You poor child." Not that he was younger than her, he was probably older for all she knew. "I will say this much, your father holds strong to his convictions. As wrong as some of them may be." She looked away for a moment, going over to her kill. "Belief is what called the Nergui down upon the Hongshan and lost me my brothers and sisters, so he should be careful before somebody kills him for it."
Placing a paw on the antelope's shoulder, she paused, listening to his name. When she looked at him, one brow quirked for a moment. It didn't last long, though, and no indication was given as to why it had even risen. "I am Alamea. You have probably seen my parents around, they're quite hard to miss. My father has distinct black, red, and white striping, my mother looks as though she possesses glowing scales upon her belly. They are Hongshan, born and raised." Alamea would have been, too, if not for the Nergui. Now she occupied a strange little pocket of existence, distrusted by some lions for her multiple tongues of language. Only the medics seemed to not distrust her, or... Some of the medics, at least.

Alamea looked at her kill, then at Wook, tilting her head just so. "Help would be nice, yes, thank you." She motioned with a paw off to where the meat tended to be gathered. "I'm taking it that way. You may have some, if you are hungry, when we get there." She bent down, taking ahold of the carcass. Now that she'd stopped, her muscles protested at her, not quite ready to move again. It had to be done, though, and she could rest plenty after she was done. It was her off day, after all, where she could be as fiercely independent as she liked. And ask for help if she so desired or felt she needed it, as it happened.

Alamea let out an amused sound, "It IS my rest day, actually. But I didn't want to blindly take when the pride's been hospitable. I thought it best to help provide, too." She wasn't a hunter, preferring the idea of sinking her claws into an enemy, especially if they were Nergui. But she wasn't greedy. The Motoujami didn't have to take them in, any of the Hongshan, and especially not her, her mother, and the siblings that had come with them. She wasn't about to squander the gift they'd been given.
As she began the task of dragging the carcass with Wook, she could only think that, perhaps, things would look up and they could take on the Nergui, and Alamea could kill six Nergui for each sibling she lost.
