Chozi looked over at Waza without a word, fluffing his feathers before speaking. "Life is fine. It's death that has me down." He said solemnly, shaking his head. "A dear friend of mine has been dead for some time now, but it still pains me. I miss him."
Chozi jumped as he looked at Naamini, rage flaring up in him for a split second as the familiar colors met his eyes. He knew that Msiba had left a lioness pregnant here, but he spent so much time alone these days that he had never met the children. This must be one of them.
"She is not bothering me." Chozi said slowly, unsure of how he should react. Part of him wanted to be angry with the lioness, to hold her father's blame against her, but that was wrong. She may be related to him, but so long as she did not behave like him, Chozi could not justify hating her for it. "You are the child of Msiba, correct?" He stared at her intently, his heart unsure of how he should feel.
"Perhaps you are the one I need to speak with..."

"Aaah, I get you, I get you." The vulture bobbed her head emphatically, tucking her wings close so as not to lose her balance on the branch. "The missing is the worst part. But at least if he's dead he can't suffer or worry no more, you know?" As a creature so closely associated with death, Waza had a unique perspective on it. Death was the source of her life; thus, no death, no life. Still, she could understand the pain caused by broken bonds. It was always unfortunate to lose someone when you enjoyed their company.
Naamini's ears flicked back for a moment, seemingly as unsure as Chozi was about how she should react. If he was talking about the death of a bonded then it was likely his lion had died. Though the chances were infinitively higher that he'd died in the earthquake, it was hard not to get the feeling that her father had somehow been involved. Msiba hadn't killed nearly as many lions as the earthquake had, but that didn't make his crimes any less in the eyes of the pride.
"I am. What is it you wish to speak with me about?"

Chozi was surprised at the vulture, but then again he had only had unpleasant experiences with them in the past. Perhaps he was wrong to judge. This female seemed nice, friendly even. All the others he had met were cold, calculating, and devoid of emotion. Best to disregard his past feelings for the species and have a new start with this one.
"Oh, I know." He said solemnly, "Believe me, that is the little comfort I take from his death. He had quite the miserable life. Full of pain and sadness..." Perhaps it was selfish of him to wish he were not dead? Chozi would never want Unyevu to have to suffer any more than he had to, but he wanted him to stay alive long enough for his life to look up, for him to reunite with his family...
He looked at Naamini with soft eyes for a moment before speaking, choosing his words carefully. "You see, my companion, the one that I lost... He was killed by your father." As much as he wanted to be angry with her, take his anger out on her by shouting and screeching, his voice was soft and mournful. "His name was Unyevu. He suffered greatly, most of his pain caused by your father and his sister." He sighed, ruffling his feathers in an attempt to remain calm and civil.
"I just want to be sure that you won't turn out like him. I do not hate you..." He paused, "In fact, I feel a little sorry for you."
