Tailsin had lived in these lands for a while now and it confused her somewhat that the only female she knew was a bird who she still wished to eat for dinner. She was a strange girl and most who she had come across would probably admit it. She was normally quite hyper and very playful though recently she had been feeling something like homesickness. She missed her family terribly. Most of all she missed her mother.
She sighed a little as she moved across the lands, never far from where she knew Adi could possibly be just because she knew he would look after her if anything happened. She didn't expect anything to happen but she was a little weary recently, probably because of the strange feelings she had. She wanted to be a small cub again curled up by her mothers side.
Stopping suddenly she stopped not really look to see if there was anyone near by or anything. She just stopped and sat down looking at her paws. She hated feeling like this but then she was sure it normal, after all everyone misses their family at some point don't they? The pride was her family now and she loved it very much she just didn't understand what it was that happened that meant her family weren't here anymore.

Mana had been slowly letting herself settle in the lands, as she really was trying to make herself as normal as she could be. And while she wasn't hiding her status as a goddess, she still did not want to be treated any higher than a regular member. She was merely a huntress here, and would demand equal respect from anyone who thought otherwise.
Making her way around the lands had proven to be a bit difficult. They were long lands, not so widespread as other prides, but it had a certain beauty to it. Her belly had just begun to swell, and she knew that she was definately carrying cubs. How long had it been? Generations for mortals, since she had last carried cubs. She was thrilled, excited, and couldn't wait for the day when they would come into the world.
"Oh," she said, the appearance of the other pulling her from her thoughts. Was that? That lioness that Tawa'di mentioned that was friends with Adi'sa? It might be, since she had seen very few females actually living in the lands.
"Hello there," she called out. She did need to make friends with everyone if she wanted to live here comfortably.

Tailsin turned suddenly and tilted her head a little. She saw the goddess but was far from sure what to make of her. She was, well different. Adi had never mentioned the goddess to her so it was all rather new and somewhat strange to see one. She hadn't even really known of their existence among mortals.
"Hey?" She looked slightly confused at the goddess and well Tailsin was never one to dance around a point.
"What are you?"

Mana laughed. "What am I? A bit demanding, I see. I'm a goddess," she replied casually, taking a few steps closer towards the female. She drew her wings up to her sides, folding them neatly so they wouldn't make her form larger than what size she really was.
"I see you're a member of these clans, though," she mentioned, nodding towards the small tattoos that dances around her limbs. It must be the female that Tawa'di mentioned. One so blunt and straight to the point would certainly twist the cute male up into a knot!

She wasn't demanding! Honestly... ok maybe just a little bit, but only a little bit!
"Do you have a name? I am Tailsin." She still eyed the female with suspicion. Goddesses looked weird and why did she have wings? Tailsin wanted wings! Then that annoying bird wouldn't get away from her...
"Can you give me wings like yours? I could do with them, even if it was only for one day!" She smiled looking a little hopeful. She could dream couldn't she?

"I'm Mana Kanati," she replied with a nod. She had given herself a very simple name for the time she would live as an Ela'wadiyi member. "I'm in the Bird clan, as well."
A pause. What? It was a question that she had only ever really recieved from cubs, so to hear it from an adult lioness made her laugh. "Oooh, no, I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't do that. If I could, I would be mighty tempted, too, though! Why is it that you want to fly? Do you want to leave, or just see everything?" She was curious, and wouldn't imagine that it might link to a little bird.

"You can't well thats just rubbish." She sighed a little and then shook her head.
"Basically there is this little bird, whose name I can't remember anyway she is trying to take Adi away from me and so I really need to teach her a lesson because Adi is like the only family I have and I don't want a stupid bird ruining it!" She was talking like a child, the illogical way that would a child would look at a problem and find the only way of making it better would be the most dramatic way!
"Anyway if I can't have wings I will have to find some other way." She smiled, slightly proud of herself. She could get that bird without wings!

"Ooooh. I see," she agreed with a nod. She could...somewhat see, but since she didn't know who this bird was, it was hard to tell if it was a one-sided argument or if there really was something suspicious going on there. SHe'd have to ask Adi'sa about it!
"So you are the friend of Adi'sa that Tawa'di has mentioned." Her smiled widened. "Well, it's good to finally meet you, then! I adore Adi'sa, it's a pleasure to meet his friend that has been by his side lately."
She shuffled her wings and folded them tighter against her body, making herself a bit more comfortable. She wanted to find out a bit more about her if she could, without being too pushy.

Tailsin tilted her head and narrowed her eyes slightly at the female as she mentioned Adi's name.
"Oh so you are after him as well! Honestly... what is it that females of any species seem to want him? He is my friend!!" She was being very childish, which was normal for Tailsin, she was a typical cub in most aspects and became jealous far too quickly!
"How do you know Adi? Hmmm?" She wasn't bothered about how she knew Tawa'di as Tailsin just looked up to him as being in charge so assumed everyone would know who he was. It was more that the goddess had mentioned that she adored Adi that got Tailsin on the defensive!

Mana giggled, noticing how the lioness left a door completely open behind her. And Mana would gladly let herself in! There was no harm in a little bit fo teasing; there never was.
"Oh? Well, if you just want him as your friend, then I would assume he's free in that aspect, then!" Her giggle turned into a more proper laugh, wondering just what expression Adi'sa would carry on his face if he heard this. It would be priceless!
"I met Adi'sa a while ago, when he was younger," she replied, letting her face form back to a more serious position. "When he was with Tawa'di. He's a sweet boy," she added on, but didn't imply just what kind of sweet he was. While Mana did like Adi'sa, she liked to tease him more, and thought of him as an adorable son-like figure.

Tailsin just scrunched her face up and stared at the female. Her understanding of anything more then friends just didn't really exist so was somewhat confused at what the goddess was talking about!
"What do you mean just friends? What do you want with him!" She stamped her front paws against the ground as she spoke. Getting somewhat annoyed at the goddess. What was she talking about?
Tailsin did however listen to what she said about Adi and meeting him when he was younger. Did that mean that he liked the goddess more? Oh well that was just annoying!

Mana laughed again. She was certainly a cub in that mind of her's, though hopefully she would understand it soon enough?
She feigned shock. "You mean, you don't know?" She paused for a moment, and shook her head. "Well....it sounds like you like him, Tailsin. And not as a friend. Maybe even stronger than that." She let her eyes rise up to look at Tailsin's brown ones. "Buuuut, maybe not. Maybe you do jsut want him all for yourself. That wouldn't be very fair, now, would it?" She couldn't help but think about the cubs that were in her belly.

Tailsin was more confused.
"What do you mean like him more? What?" She was really confused.
"I don't keep him all to myself! Just don't like the girls all over him.. I don't want to loose him!" She started to look a little sad. She was so confused and really didn't understand what the goddess was talking about.
"I like playing with him and he so kind and I don't want anyone to take him away from me!" She managed to keep her voice at a normal level though all she wanted to do was shout at her lots and lots.

Mana felt bad. She really was just making her run around in circles, wasn't she?
She laid down where she was, trying to make herself more comfortable. "Well," she started. "I don't think anyone would try to take him away from you. But you sound so worried and scared, maybe no one else might want to be friends with him." She was worried that Tailsin would get into the habit of chasing others that would direct any of his attention away from her.
She was going to have to learn to share sometime, because in the future Mana would need Adi'sa to help her with the cubs, even if Tailsin wasn't aware of this yet.
"Besides, someone might need his help sometimes."

Tailsin just continued to stare and then collapsed on the ground. She was bored of standing up with this staring competition and so laid down. She laid her head on her paws and stared at the ground somewhat.
"Everyone is Adi's friend though...." Her voice was a bit muffled as her head was still on her paws and it wasn't the easiest position to talk from.
"He helps everyone anyway!" She then looked up and sighed. "He is just like that..." She smiled a little and laid her head back down. Then a thought popped into her head and she raised her head once more to speak.
"I don't keep him to myself anyway. He has a special bond with Tawa'di you can see it in Adi's eyes and the way he talks of that old lion. I wouldn't ever dream of getting in the way of that and so I don't keep him to myself and everyone wants to be friends with him so there." She laid her head back down as she finished, her eyes staring at the ground once more. What did this goddess know anyway? What was a goddess other then a lioness with wings?
