Sauda smiled, watching the leopardess. "Pleased to meet you, Kesha." There was something a little off about Kesha, something Sauda couldn't put a finger on but neither did she try. She felt at peace around the leopardess, and gaze held the dark feline mesmerized. In all honestly, Sauda felt at peace with her and immediately liked her. She listened closely, ears flattening with displeasure. "But I... She," Sauda quickly covered her mistake. "She's never been around so many others. It's always been her and her two brothers. She isn't a leader and though she loves the land, she has yet to meet the people. How can an outsider like her be immediately accepted as consort? And that's all without the situation with the Chief. She finds him beyond difficult and she's only known him for not nearly half a day. My sister, you see, has a terrible habit. And her pride is borderline sinful. And because of the pride, she finds it very hard to make herself turn around and accept the Chief's offer, none the less obey his order, as his follower and as his consort."
Sauda felt thoroughly disheartened, as she gazed around the temple. "How could such a leader reside in such a magnificent place?" she sighed, hanging her head. When she returned home, if she returned home(since her terrible sense of direction would lead her who knows where), what did she have waiting for her there? Her head hung as her mind reeled. Perhaps she can work out some sort of agreement. If there were more kind leopards like Kesha, it would make dealing with The Arrogant One worth while. She chewed the inside of her cheek, thinking.
"If.. If my sister decided to take on this... task and become consort, would I be able to see you with any advice she needs? I don't think she'll get along with the chief, nonetheless ever love him, but she's willing to try and work out a sort of an agreement. Of course, she isn't sure if she's what the Pride needs or wants, but she's willing to earn their approval." Sauda winced, realizing what she would have to do. "Kesha, would you mind too much if I met up with you again?" she asked, trying to distract her from the dreadful task ahead. Oh yes, she was going to have to walk back in there and accept, after the previously-furious leopardess stormed angrily out.
