[PRP] No Harm (Kalama and Cinaed)

[wooga Paes]

Kalama was pacing. She looked a little grumpy, but then again, she almost always looked pretty grumpy. One could wonder what kind of horrible thing was ailing her, to make the red lioness pace that way. Perhaps she was in trouble, or someone else was in trouble, or she had been insulted and was brooding...

The truth, however, was she was bored. And when Kalama was bored she started pacing, until she could think of something else to do. "What I need is a real job." She had been a huntress for some time, then switched to soldier, which was certainly much more interesting to her. But at the same time it lacked something.

Kalama frowned and raised her head to survey the land around her. Perhaps if she encountered someone she could find something to occupy herself with.

She wondered how she hadn't noticed the male was around, and that kind of made Kalama a little angry. It was very stupid of her to not notice her surroundings like that. And she considered disliking this male right off the bat, but apparently she was in a forgiving mood on account of boredom.

"Yes, I'm ok. Are you?" She snorted and sat down, glancing at the male and eying him up and down. He was certainly familiar, as, she supposed, was any firekin, on account that they all lived in the same area. At the same time, though, she was having trouble with his name. "Who're you, again?" She wanted to say it started with an s. Or something like an s. And it had an a in there somewhere. Siiaaa? Sianed? Cia?  

[wooga Paes]

She nodded as he said his name. Yes, she had been going in a more-or-less right direction. Kalama remembered him as someone who had always been more in the background, but he was still familiar. She supposed most people were in the background, so it wasn't a big deal. She wasn't so sure how she felt about him already knowing her name when she hadn't known his. Somehow, it felt like she had lost on something. "Yes, nice to see you too." Typically, she didn't say it in a way that sounded sincere. It was just a formality, after all.

She watched the lion bow with a lack of interest, wondering about how long she would be talking to this lion. And then he sort of read her mind, in a way, so she suddenly became more interested. "Yes. How did you know?" Hmmm, maybe he was bored, too. Perhaps she could find some use in him, if they were both bored.  

[wooga Paes]

So this really was a kindred spirit! At least in this aspect. That he got bored with his life here sometimes. But what he said afterwards, though, was something she had, for whatever reason, not considered. Go beyond the borders...? "Me too." she said, even though it had never been something Kalama had thought of before. She immediately decided she had wanted this all along. Yes, indeed, go beyond the borders and make sure they were known to the outside world.

But now, about being able to... Hm. "Hang on." Kalama said loudly, even though, perhaps, she said it mostly to herself. Because she had heard about something recently... Now what was it?  

[wooga Paes]

Kalama thought for a few moments bore, mostly because she was trying to remember exactly what she had heard that made her think about this. It was very obvious when she did finally figure it out, though. Because instead of scowling she suddenly smiled. "Ah, yes." Okay, she had this. She might have to see somethings out with an official, though.

... And, if she remembered correctly, it wasn't the sort of thing they were supposed to do it alone. "Sure, yes, it can be arranged." Kalama nodded, it couldn't be so hard. After all, she had a candidate right here, with her! "Alright, you're in luck. I think there is a way for you to see more beyond the borders."

Her face turned slightly more serious. "But first, are you with me?" Never mind that she hadn't even really explained what she was thinking about.  

[wooga Paes]

"Good!" Kalama said, satisfied. Okay, so she already had someone to work with. She was quite sure she would need a couple more, though. "Do you have any friends?" Personally, she didn't. She didn't really want friends, either, so if this lion knew anyone it might be helpful.

If not... well, that was okay. She was sure they could find another soul who wanted to do an important job for their pride. And aside from being an important job, it was also a cool one. It shouldn't be difficult!  

[wooga Paes]

Kalama didn't mind the face he made, because, in his position, she might have done the same. It was a little inconvenient to not have friends, she supposed, because as far as Kalama could tell friends were useful in the sense that they could 'help' you if you ever needed them. But she was sure she never would. No need to get all muddled up in that silly sentimental thing some went for.

"Yes, we can." She nodded and pondered this. All they had to do was find out who wanted to serve their pride, and travel. Serving their pride would be easy enough, because she supposed any firekin would want to do that. And there had to be others that were interested in going outside. "Okay, then. Come on, I'll fill you in." said Kalama, as she stood up and began to trot away. She only paused to look back and make sure Cinaed was following, though she could think of no reason why he wouldn't.
