The chaos that had occurred not too long ago had somehow masked the real issue in Nawiri's heart. When hell was literally raining down on the Pridelands, she hadn't been near the center of the spectacle. She had stayed back at home that night, not all that interested in being social. She had never really pushed herself out of her parents' shadows, and in a lot of ways she didn't mind. She was a perfectionist on herself, and hiding behind her parents was an easy way to avoid that reality.
But she hadn't been able to find her mother for a time. And now her father was missing...and did anyone seem to care? It had become an afterthought after their king nearly died, after so many others died. Did....did they die, and no one knew it? Wahabu was too important and, for lack of a better term, famous within with Pridelands. Someone would have known something, right?? |

She kept looking, but also...didn't know where else to look. She couldn't be the only one that realized this, but...where...?
Nawiri was lingering in her parents' den, an empty place that she still called home. Their scents were still here, lingering. With time, she knew that they would fade. But where...?
She sighed, convinced that she was going to have to throw a sort of tantrum to get anyone to pay attention to her. Perhaps if she asked someone else on the council, they would notice? Would the old king Simi listen to her? She had never tried to put herself out there, but the fear of the unknown pushed her out of her comfort zone. Finally making a decision, she stood up to leave...and spotted a very vivid gold male approaching.
"Ha....Dhahabu?" she asked, very aware of her extensive family, as oddly anti-social as she had been in the past. Nothing more than pleasantries exchanged, and attending the odd marriage here and there.

"Sometimes, me too," she said. Moreso because if she slinked away from home, it was to hide somewhere else for a couple days before she returned. After everything that had happened, she hadn't done that. Sticking with parents seemed the best, even if her mother had been missing. But her father, too?
It was too much.
"Thank you, Dhahabu. Would you...go with me right now?" she wanted to go before she lost her bravery, and she also just wanted to get it over with. Part of her expected to be brushed off, and better to deal with that disappointment now, rather than later.
"I can always vouch for you, if you mother is looking for you later. I don't know how long this may take. I'm certain that the council and crown has had to deal with a lot more complaints and issues lately."
