Nantale's paw returned to the ground as she confirmed, "Yes, a year," and looked once more at the tree, just in case. "That's not necessary. There are other baboons that can show you. Poko tends to stay up here, away from the rest of them, but he's far from the only one." If Nantale knew the reasons for this peculiar behavior, she didn't indulge him the juicy details. "I'm not sure how many of the Nchi know he's up here."
The last time Nantale smiled bashfully like this, she was an adolescence returning from her first hunt with a story of failure and a bruise near her eye where she'd been bucked by an antelope. "Sorry, I suppose it was predictable he'd act that way. To be honest with you, I just try to visit him every day. And then there's... you know. The stories."

"Oh...I thought he was the 'master drum maker' or something," Ndoto said, raising a paw and wiggling his toes in place of quotation marks. He shook his head slightly, an amused look on his face. "How silly of me." He felt rather privileged to have been brought up here as Nantale went on, since not many in the pride seemed to know about this place. He glanced over his shoulder, taking the time to admire the view. It was turning out to be a beautiful day.
He turned back to see the lioness smiling, and it made him laugh. It was melodic, nearly sung, as his insides warmed at the sight. Finally, a grin! Even if it was rather embarrassed. "Quite all right! I feel right at home if that's how he greets everyone that climbs up here," he said with a wink.
"Stories? What stories are these?" he added as he laughter calmed, a curious look on his face. He loved stories. Stories were songs that were yet to be sung. "Does he tell you the stories? Or are they stories about him? Or something else completely?"
Hopefolly Internet is all better now!

SilverLutz SO sorry for the wait. RL made me hiatus for a bit. Back now.
Nantale smiled, nodded her head, and came to stand beside him. "If anyone asks, it's not," she said, tacking a wink on the end.
Far be it by her to encourage cubs to start climbing too high, too quickly... Not to mention disturbing what was, in a personal opinion kind of way, sacred ground.
"I'm sorry I can't take you somewhere more... exciting," she added. Nantale looked over this land, her land. "It's not a very exciting place, after all, but no news is good news. I learned that in the rogue lands."

Ndoto glanced at Nantale with a mild look of confusion mixed with admiration. "Exciting? This is plenty exciting. We just scaled a huge rock formation only to be greeted by a very angry monkey and, after he had his fill of throwing things at us, we're rewarded with a magnificent view of the pride. I think that's pretty exciting, and I also think you're rather silly for apologizing."
He chuckled softly before looking over the lands as well, his tail flicking from side to side. This was his home now, and he still had a lot to learn about it, but today had been very educational, at least about his new friend. Nantale was very reserved and quiet at first, but now that he had been around her long enough he felt as though she was starting to relax around him. She was smiling, after all. That was always a good sign.
"Thank you," he added, glancing at the dark lioness again. "For showing me all this. I can't tell you how...proud, I guess is a good word. Proud I am that I'm a part of this pride. It's beautiful, safe, we have an incredible leader." He paused to wink at her, the smile still on his face. "I'm glad I can be a part of this."
