Mmmm, it was such a nice morning. Nsundu stretched languidly, yawning as she did so. So far, ruling the pride hadn't been so bad. She'd had to keep an eye out on everyone, do a few lessons with Isithunzi, but after that she was pretty much left to her own devices. But that was expected. Her pride was not extremely large and everyone was used to pretty much looking out for themselves. The Nchi were even smaller since she had yet to see Juke, Muujiza and their family yet, but Nsundu had faith that they would arrive. Perhaps once they got here she would hold an official welcoming the morning ceremony. Yes, that sounded like a good idea. She'd run it by Isi after she went on her morning stroll.
With a flex of her toes, Nsundu set off. It had become a bit of a ritual to wander through her new territory, checking on locations of drum materials and searching for any remaining members. Though she had yet to meet anyone, it was a good chance for her to get out and have a look at the landscape. The pride queen hummed absently to herself as she walked, pausing every so often to investigate a fallen gourd. Hmmm... that one looked like it would make a nice drum. She'd make sure to tell Isi.

Blue eyes scanned the skies above, white paws taking the female to parts completely unknown and unknowingly doing so. It had been late in the evening that Kala'ha'a had picked herself up from a comfortable spot in the rogue lands and begun a journey with really no intentions. Originally she had thought perhaps she could find another ideal location in tall grasses somewhere far from the familiar to gaze upon the skies and the clouds. Perhaps other locations held different formations and wonderments. After a while, she had realized... she just felt like moving, getting up and going.
Of course, she had started late and being dark and to territory she was unfamiliar with, she wasn't sure where she was anymore. Kala was a bit worried and weary, now thinking this not to be such a good idea. She had gone past a few jungles she dared not enter - besides they would block the sky after all - and had now come.. well here. As the dawn started to stretch its length across the lands above, a smile and cheer had come back to the white and pink female, ease to her worried heart. Which brought her to once again turning her gaze from in front of her and thus to the above.
Kala's pace slowed down to a full stop, finding it now pointless to keep going really, still just looking up at the few clouds that were scattered.

"Murr?" Kala herself blinked as she took her attention from the sky to the sound and call of the quickly approaching lioness. Oh! Another lion, her blue eyes widened in joy to only close a little back to their original size. The brown one seemed to be trying to attract the attention of someone else. Sighing, her gaze looked around, trying to see where this other one was. But, found no one else in the vicinity, now that was weird.
Even more weird when the other one came right up to her and kept calling her a name that wasn't. Kala flushed, backing up a step, a little startled from the mistake. "Oh, i-it's alright. Happens all the time, to others I suppose." The white lioness chuckled in reply, "I'm sorry for confusing you ~"

Nsundu blinked slowly when Kala took a step backwards, assuming that she had taken some sort of offense. "Didn't mean anything by it, you're just white like her and she's a bit quiet too, off by herself a lot..." She trailed off, trying her best to look apologetic. Wait, the other female was sorry? Oooh, maybe she had just startled her. Duh, Nsundu. She really shouldn't have assumed the female took offense. After all, it wasn't like she'd run up and pounced on her or something equally as overfriendly. Not that Nsundu was above it, but lions often didn't take very well to excited physical contact.
"Don't need to apologize, it was my mistake. But now that we're both here, mistake's been corrected, can I ask you what your actual name is? I can't just call you Vinya-look-alike can I?" Nsundu flopped down into a lazy sit, not bothered in the slightest that she was dealing with a new lioness in her pride lands. Some might have considered Kala an intruder, but Nsundu thought of her more as a guest. No harm in making friends with her.

Kala blinked for a moment, at the mention of what the brown lioness had been mistaken as and within a few seconds she was giggling. "I've never heard of a fuzzy log before, are they abundant here or something? That's just silly ~" Well, unless the other lion couldn't see well or was young enough to not know any better - not that she did anywho - but the notion was just amusing.
"It is very nice to meet you though, Nsundu ~" Kala replied, face still filled with warmth from her boast of giggles.
"Nchi... Nchi'mah..adhi?" she wrapped her tongue around after, struggling a bit over the name. "And you thought my name was hard," The white lioness' smile strengthened, "it's a lovely name though, so this is their lands?" Kala asked curiously, never having found herself upon pride lands or having encountered anyone who belonged to anything, especially ones she had never heard of before - the ones she knew of being a really short list.

To be mistaken as a log, or at least in excuse. She wondered if her friend had just been trying to make up something or... if something was wrong with him. But then again, she had never seen a fuzzy log and perhaps they existed in areas she wasn't aware of. Kala just smiled listening to the brown female explain how the situation had come about and soon followed her gaze to where Nsundu had directed to.
"Oh neat ~" She expressed, looking down now at the ground at her feet as if they were so much different than anything else she had walked on. Well, they were slightly, they apparently belonged to a collection of other lions and it felt somehow different standing there than just the few minutes prior. "I've never been near pride lands, well probably have but not knowingly. I've met people from prides and such but never got to see where they lived ~" Kala blinked suddenly, looking up at her new acquaintance, "You're leader isn't going to be mad for me being around here, are they?"
She had heard of rogues often being attacked for stepping in bounds of certain prides, hopefully the leader of the Nchi would be sympathetic to lost and aimless lions.

"Course I am! My mum was before me, and all that jazz. But my pride got disbanded a long time ago 'cause of the plague, which sucked, so I rounded the remaining guys up and brought them back home!" Nsundu puffed up, quite proud of her accomplishments. She had traveled pretty much all over Africa to find members for her pride. Now there were many members, and quite a few youth that were making their way towards their coming of age ceremony. It was terribly exciting, both for herself and her go-to Isithunzi. She could hardly wait to see all the drums in the drum circle!
Nsundu laughed when Kala bowed, thoroughly amused. Wow, she'd never been bowed to before! This was awesome! "Of course not! I like having intelligent lionesses on my lands! They bring good luck!" She really wasn't sure if that was true, but heck, it was true now. "It's really fun actually! We're a really laid-back pride, so we just chill out pretty much. I just make sure nobody is beating anybody up, and that everyone is learning the pride traditions and stuff. Everyone else looks out for themselves. And leading is never hard for girls, Kala. It comes naturally."

Nsundu grinned broadly at the wow, enjoying how much this meeting was stroking her ego. It wasn't often that she found an admirer. The last person who had looked at her like that was Banjoko, but his opinion didn't really count as much as a girl's. Still, the fact that he had been proud of her made her proud of herself. Kala was only adding to her self-confidence (which was quite large enough, according to her daughter, but Nsundu needn't know that).
"Oh I did. Not quite all over Africa, but definitely a long way," the lioness replied, nodding her head as Kala spoke. "And I wasn't really related to anyone. I just drummed some beats on the ground, and whoever know what that was got invited to come along." She demonstrated, tapping her feet on the ground in a soft cha-chacha-cha beat. "My family doesn't really have anything noticeable that you could see in future generations. We've all been pretty solid colours with only a few markings."
"Your mama was a General?" Now Nsundu was interested. The lioness tilted her head, in the hopes of encouraging Kala to say more.
