She kept a look out for the plant that Paean had described as she climbed the rocky terrain. The sun was still high above them, though storm clouds lingered in the distance. She didn't pay them much attention, assuming they would find the plant before any storm happened.
Her focus was on the task at hand, finding the strange plant. From his description, she was sure that she hadn't seen one before. Typically she didn't pay much attention to plants.
“If you don't mind me asking, are you from around here?” She asked curiously. Dortoka had been exploring the area, usually by walking. Occasionally she saw small groups, but no prides. She hadn't explored the whole area and thought if there was a pride around, it might be a nice place to rest for a while.
She stopped on a flatter part of the mountain and looked around, giving time so they could catch their breath. “What is this plant used for? Are you going to eat it?” She asked. Maybe it was a rare find? She thought. Occasionally she enjoyed trying a piece of fruit, she never really tried any herbs or flowers though.
Annchen I am sooo sorry that this took so long. I had started it, then I forgot about it until today.

![User Image](https://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv202/ApanAnn/SoA/paeanadultcert_zpsab77a26f.png~original) "Oh, not at all," Paean said. He was no crier, but talking about his pride and inviting people in was just something he did when he had the chance, "I live in a pride called Sikukuu. See that forest and mountain over there?"
He motioned towards home. It looked far away, but he knew it would only take him half a day to get back there if he kept a good pace. It was nice with a little adventure now and then, but he wouldn't imagine leaving completely. Sikukuu was home, simple as that. Before he could tell her more about the celebrations she asked about the focus of their current little mission... Ester's plant.
"Um... I don't know if it's for eating," he admitted, "But if it is it'll probably taste gross... My sister uses plants for healing. Sometimes you're supposed to eat the foul things, and sometimes she mashes them up to use on wounds."
Paean had learned a little bit from helping Ester, but he lacked the talent and understanding that made her a good healer. He was perfectly capable of fetching water, carrying supplies and doing grunt work, but he could certainly not replace her as a medic.

"You're welcome to stop by," he said, "We welcome all visitors to our celebrations. Or we just invent new parties when visitors arrive..."
The brown and green lion was usually not very involved in the inventing of parties, but he was always glad to join in when someone did. He did help out too, if asked... The fun part was joining the fun and games and talk to visitors, so if he could get away with it he'd rather just do that.
"Yeah," he agreed, "The best way is to not getting sick or hurt at all!"
Paean looked in the direction she indicated and scented the air. The clouds looked menacing, but he couldn't feel the scent of rain. At least not yet.
"I hope not," he said. "I wouldn't want to be out in the open in a storm."

"Ugh, yeah," he agreed, "Wet and cold is not my favorite. Ohh... But you should try our hot springs. Wet and warm actually works, especially when it's cold out."
It was one of the few upsides of the cold season. Paean was in the Kaskazi clan for a reason. He liked the warm summer, and was less fond of winter, ice and snow. He'd learned that seasons were a bit different out here in the roguelands, but he liked his pride, despite the snowy season.
Paean squinted at the whatever-it-was near the base of the boulders. His eyesight wasn't good enough to tell for sure, but it could be the plant. There was only one way to make sure...
"I'm not sure," he said, "Let's go over there and take a look!"

Paean liked the idea of an escort. He tended to get bored by his own company after a while, and much preferred to be among others. As an added bonus it would give them a chance to get to know each other better.
"Pretty much, yeah," he said, "And I wouldn't mind an escort, I'm sure my sister will chew me out if I don't arrive in one piece."
He smiled and then once again focused his attention on the pesky plant. The roots were more or less exposed so he tried pushing to see if it would come loose. He had to dig a bit more, but when he tried pushing it again it slowly toppled over.
"I've got a hide for this," he said, sort of answering Dortoka's question. The hide was meant for carrying back the plant, and he had just worn it as a makeshift scarf until now, to keep it out of the way. He unfastened it and spread it out next to the unearthed plant. It was tricky, but he managed to transfer it to the hide and wrap it up in a bundle he'd be able to carry in his mouth.
"I had planned to just carry it in this," he said. It would mean that he couldn't talk freely, but they could always take frequent breaks... Maybe take the scenic route home...
