Miwani was very used to being alone, and it was not necessarily a bad thing. She was a solitary type, anyway, and though she loved her family she was glad to be out on her own and living her own life. She knew her parents were off in a pride, presumably happy, and while she had the chance to find her own way.
So far, she was content in wandering around and doing very little. But maybe there was meant to be more out there...
She was not used to others coming through her area, and she was surprised when she saw another lion padding through. Her face lit up in excitement and she bounded toward him, not very shy about greeting others, since she had little experience with them and no real reason to fear anyone.
"Hello there! I've never seen you around here before!"

"Just traveling through, hm? I'm no stranger to that! Seems like everyone out here is just traveling through."
That was the problem with the rogue lands. No one ever seemed to be in one place for very long. Though she tended to settle into an area for a while at a time, even she ended up moving on when she got bored, or something annoyed her enough to make her want to change her scenery.
"My name is Miwani. It's very nice to meet you, Nitesh!"
She looked him over, thinking he had a different kind of look to him than most of the lions she saw. She was not sure exactly what it was, but he had an exotic air to him, like he came from some place she had never been. She had to wonder where he did come from. He had scents on him that she found typical of when she passed through a pride. He had to live somewhere, not like her.
"So what are you out here looking for? I get the feeling that this is not your usual routine."
He also had that air of someone who was facing the unfamiliar. Or maybe she was just giving him a whole lot of personality that she was simply projecting on to him. She liked to think she was good at reading others, but sometimes it was just guess work to make her feel better about herself. After all, she never said her ideas out loud, so who could call her on them?

Miwani smiled at him, looking a little bashful, but happy to be meeting another lion. It was so rare that she found a friend all the way out here, she was more than happy to meet someone she did not know, and try to become their friend. Some, maybe, would be more inclined to anger and violence toward strangers, but those things had no place in her life.
She was too lonely to turn anyone away at this point!
"Well, it's interesting to come out here with no plan! I was sort of the same way, after I struck out after my childhood and started living my own life. I am still kind of that way. I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'm happy out here, in this quiet sort of life I have right now. Still, I would like something more, too!"
She smiled at him, shaking her head and hoping he did not feel bad for not having a plan. Not many of them did, she imagined, out here in the rogue lands. But to leave a pride, that was a new one. Most of the folks she had met, which were few but still counted, were looking for a home.
"I live not too far from here, for now. But I've been wandering around for a very long time. I stay in one place for a little while, then go off and try to find somewhere new and fun. This is a nice spot, though. There's a great little hunting clearing not far from my den, and it's quiet."

"I would love the company!"
Miwani had been wanting some company and she was glad to have met a nice lion. Sure, he was handsome and she was finding herself more and more embarrassed and awkward instead of more comfortable the longer they hung out, but hey. That was probably normal, right? She hoped it was, anyway.
"I mean, there aren't too many others around, but if you don't mind hanging out with me, I don't mind! I could show you around a little bit, like to that great hunting spot. And my den, you could find one nearby! Er. I mean, even for just a little while. If you wanted. Hey! Are you hungry?"
She shuffled her paws and tried not to let her sudden surge of awkwardness overwhelm her. She was talking pretty fast, and she knew she probably looked very nervous and goofy.

Miwani was caught off guard, not used to flirting since she was so often alone. She chuckled at it, though, shaking her head and turning a bit red under her fur, though she was thankful her fur was dark enough not to show it. She felt the heat of her blush though, and that was enough to tell her she was in over her head.
"Oh, I'll be the better hunter."
She grinned at him, shaking her head.
Turning away from him, she led the way to a clearing that was just prime for hunting. There was plenty of cover and the grass was long enough to hide them, but it was lush and there was a small river running through that kept the animals that lived there watered. She was not lying about the hunting there, as it was busy with prey beasts passing through, a common area for them to walk through on their journeys.
"See? This place is the best."

Miwani laughed at the challenge, shaking her head.
"I bet you can't!"
She skittered away to find somewhere else to hide, not wanting to hunt too close to him, so they did not scare each others prey away. There was plenty to pick from today, anyway, so she was not too worried about them at least being able to catch one good source of dinner between them.
It was only after she had killed and dragged the very heavy carcass back toward him that she realized he was asleep. She made a face, but she was more amused than anything else.
Deciding the food would be there when they woke up, she moved to lay down near him, though not directly beside him for fear of being forward or rude, or just waking him up. She yawned and fell to sleep soon enough.
