Tama was prowling around the borders, bored. He knew he should probably be waiting for visitors to help keep an eye on, but it had been quiet lately. Almost too quiet. Part of him wondered if less animals were visiting because of the changing seasons. Less visitors meant more boring times, but...he certainly wasn't going to be pushing any boulders over soon.
Bright blue eyes were spying on the brown leopard. Kumi herself was extremely bored, so the solution was to stalk one of her fellow pride members. Give him a scare, and get a good laugh out of it! Papa would be proud of that, right? Sneaky games were his cup of tea.
With a slight pause and wiggle, she leapt out of the cover of the bushes and pounced on Tama.
"Aah!" Tama was not expecting anything, and fell completely onto his back. Confusion echoes across his face as he heard laughter, trying to decide who was laughing and what the hell just happened.

Uhaijizi had been lurking around this pride for a couple days, surprisingly well hidden in the shadows. He found it extremely interesting, they didn't seem to have just one god, or even several. They had a great respect for just about everything. It was intriguing enough to keep him around but he hadn't yet been convinced that he ought to come right out and ask for a tour, or even venture especially far in.
He happened to be nearby, passed rather closely by Kumi when she sneaked by, apparently hunting the guard he'd been watching. He grinned-- and then he joined in her laughter when she successfully caught her prey.
"Impressive," he called out, stepping out of the shadows and dropping the illusion that was helping him stay out of sight, "Catching a guard off-guard."

Hmmmm, that was promising. He could be happy Remembrance was on the list, she was his love after all. But that didn't help him find a finished shrine for someone he already knew.
"Oh," he said, momentarily distracted by her implication that they could push a shrine for him up in the priority list, "I would like that. After all, I've seen mostly predators around here anyway."
Well, the pride itself seemed to be entirely carnivores .. but that was always true. It was just the easiest way to insist he ought to be important to any pride, really, and he was perfectly OK doing that.
"Remembrance should be high on the list too," he said with an enthusiastic nod, "But if I'm going to look around, I want to see someone I know. What about Famine? Obedience? Prey?" Oh, he would not be happy to learn they had a shrine for his brother and not for him- and it was clear in his tone, he didn't want to hear they had a shrine for Prey.

Lucky for Kumi, Uhaijizi was not a particularly temperamental god. He wasn't going to be offended or provoked so easily, though he might have been grumpy to learn Palahala had a shrine when neither he nor Dali did. Not even mom or dad did, though he supposed they ruled over things that were harder to appreciate.
"Alright," he said, lifting a paw and idly scratching at the skull hanging in his mane, "You stop me when I get to something you have, then. What aboooout.. Pets, Conformity, Guards?"
He glanced at Tama when mentioning his brother, but looked back at Kumi to continue his list. He didn't know where else to go right away.
"Forgetfulness?" he said, his tone suggesting he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about this one either, "Memory, Organization, Souls, Teaching.. uhh."

He didn't respond to Kumi's explanation about how frequently (or infrequently) gods actually came to visit the pride here, he waited for them to decide if Tama was going to stay with them.
"You're doing a fine job, I was watching you for a while," he said, looking at Tama again, "My brother is the god of guards, I'm sure he'd be impressed."
Not necessarily true but not necessarily wrong. As far as Uhai could tell, Tama was doing a great job as a guard. He didn't notice Uhai wandering around but Uhai was an excellent hunter, naturally. Kinga just wasn't a typical companion of his or he might be able to say so with more confidence, not that he didn't sound sure. Lying to mortals didn't seem like a big deal.
"I don't know if I'd be any good at convincing more gods to stop by," he said, looking back to Kumi, "But I'll have to come back myself if there's going to be a shrine for Predators, or for Remembrance."

"Aaah, its an honor just to have you come visit, I couldn't expect more." She felt so fluttery, having the opportunity to guide a god to a shrine! She knew she would do a fantastic job, so she wasn't nervous. Just excited.
"I'm certain that the next time you come there shall be at least one of those shrines up, if not both." She was definitely going to have a word with the leader about this!
Tama wasn't sure what Kumi was so excited about, but it seemed to be going smoothly enough. "Well then, I thank you for your time, Uhaijizi. I shall resume my duties. I'll see you later, Kumi." With a small bow, the brown lion slowly left, his guard up more than earlier. He wasn't going to let a silly leotah pounce on him again like that!
"Well, are you ready?" Kumi asked as she turned to her visitor.
