[PRP] Gypsies for Hire

[TheMadHatter]

She dipped her paws into the water to cool them off while her brother wandered around. He just -couldn't- sit still and she never understood that one. She rather liked being able to sit down and relax and take some time out of the day to just not move. But Saidi? Nope. He had to be up and going and never stopping.

"Really, we're near, or in, someone's pride lands and they haven't come out to eat us yet so you could relax. It isn't as if we mean them any harm. Unless they consider fairy tales harmful..." And that would be rather funny.

He shook his head as he wandered around the lake's bank. "Or they could still come out here. Either way i'm going to get a look around." He didn't see any reason that they couldn't keep an eye open if they were so obviously in someone else's lands.

"And if they think fairy tales are harmless then they haven't heard yours before." He laughed. His sister could tell some rather risque stories when she wanted to.  

[TheMadHatter]

"My stories aren't that bad." She huffed. "Besides. Most of them are true enough." He just liked to poke fun at the stories she didn't tell to cubs. Adults liked fairy stories just as much as little cubs and she liked making them more interesting. "Besides. You can tell some bad ones of your own"

He paused and looked back toward where his sister was sitting. "But my stories aren't .... yours." He huffed again.  

[TheMadHatter]

He jumped at the sound of someone else's voice and ended up skidding in the mud and landed with one leg in the lake. " .... i think my heart stopped." His eyes were wide as he looked at the blue female.

She took one look at her brother antics and burst out laughing. It took her a moment to get herself under control enough that she could see what was going on. "I'm sure Saidi could now use some help getting himself out of the mud"  

[TheMadHatter]

"We were wandering though actually. I kept saying this had to be a pride land but we couldn't find anyone around." She smiled as she got up and wandered over to where her brother was still trying to pull himself out of the mud.

He grinned sheepishly at the blue female as he pulled himself out of the lake and tried to get the mud off his foot. "We are story tellers, wandering ones so far. We didn't mean to tresspass but we couldn't find anyone to talk to either"  

[TheMadHatter]

"So there is a pride here." She perked up at that idea. A pride meant work and work meant they could get a good meal and maybe somewhere safe to sleep for a while. "Would anyone be interested in a few stories? We have plenty for every sort."

OF course his sister went straight for business. He sighed and hung back behind her while getting the mud off himself. The female was ... pretty. He'd never seen someone with a blue coat like that  

[TheMadHatter]

"We would be more than happy to trade a few stories for some food and a place to sleep at least for the night." She smiled. A 'Lady' sounded good. That meant a ruler and if you could impress one of the rulers they were generally nicer and gave you more food and such. It was so hard hunting by herself since her brother was a failure at it. He startled too easily.

"Could you take us to her?" He got most of his foot free of mud even though now his legs were at least half wet. At least he was presentable if damp and that was better than damp and mud covered.  

[TheMadHatter]

"We've never been known to cause trouble." She knew if they were alone her brother would have been quick to argue that point but since they had company she could say it all she wanted. "Best behavior, i promise." She grinned. "So long as no one else sneaks up on Saidi."

He grinned sheepishly again. "A good story can placate a temper some times ..." HE hoped at least. He really didn't want to get yelled at. His sister would be tempted to yell back and that would be -bad-
