[PRP] Where do I belong?

[Fairy Snails]

This was her home, Nuru ya Maisha thought as she surveyed the land. She had traveled a long way to find some sort of peace in her life and Okuphelele was what she found. The traditions were different then what she was used to, but she didn't question them. Right now it was just best for her to blend in and not upset the status quo. Now that she found peace, she was now about to let it go.

She walked around, away from the heart of the pride. The sun was going down and the cool breeze pushed the tall grass. She found a rock and laid down on it. After a day of hunting it was nice to find a spot as calming as this, she thought.

In the distance she could see hunting parties return with their catches. Lions and wild dogs working together to bring down prey. Some work in perfect harmony when they hunted. It was something Nuru was a little jealous of when she first arrived, but eventually understood after she learned that pairs were bound to each other and closer to each other then they were to their mates. Before she found Okuphelele she would never imagine trusting another creature that much, let a lone a lion. But the pride members made it work.

And eventually she would also be expect to find her 'other half'. She wondered if that would ever actually happen.

It was most days that the dog and lion pair hunted. The pride was a growing one, and they needed food to bolster numbers. Doolhof and Zif were newer members of the pride, having found one another in the roguelands, and travelled the rest of the way to the pride together.

They had made fast friends, and were inseparable now. They were fortunate that the pride fostered the kind of relationship they held, otherwise the pair would have remained in the roguelands as a pair. Others had joined soon after them - some where paired off as they were, but some had joined hoping to find a partnership of their own. It weighed on Zif's heart, the lonely souls that did not have a partner as he did. He nudged Doolhof, waking his partner from his nap.

"We should explore, and meet some of the others," Zif encouraged. He had been in a pride before, and ached to feel the closeness of a pride as well as just Doolhof.

Doolhof yawned, looking up at the purple lion. He huffed, and stretched. "Alright, alright," He muttered, pulling himself up. "Wherever you go, I will follow." Too tired to do much else. By the time the reached someone, he should be more awake...

And follow he did, eyes basically closed but trusting the path Zif lead them.
