"this shall be my boy
i shall call him ufari
and he shall by my precious bean"
a rather strikingly cream lion approaches you, kindness flaring through his gaze as he takes powerful steps forward.
"hello there," his voice is calm, but also curious. "and who might you be?" you explain your name and reasoning of coming here, and the broad lion nods in reply. "ah, i see. just a traveler, hm? well, not to worry; my pride and i are not ones to chase off a visitor. my name is ufari, and i welcome you to the pride of helavica."
you ask about what it's like to live in this pride you stumbled across, and how good the hunting is around here. "the land is rather nice; i chose a spot near a watering hole but with just enough shade and an underground den for protection against the heat and rain. it is the flood season, after all." he chuckles before continuing, "as for hunting, well, my main lionesses usually go out on a hunt under my word, but if not, then i mostly pick up whatever we need when i go explore the land."
a rather spunky and gray-spotted adolescent bounds over to the two of you, and when she reaches ufari, she rubs her head against his neck. "hello, ufari! who is this?"
"this, kahari, is a visitor. they're just here to see what we have to offer."
"cool!" the young female replies, not leaving ufari's side for an instant. "i just came over to tell you that the lionesses have returned from the hunt; it was very successful. i mean, i'm back, so of course you'd know the hunting party is, too." kahari sheepishly laughed, saying her goodbyes to both ufari and yourself.
you inquire about who on earth that was, to which the gold-maned lion replies warmly, "that was kahari, the lioness i'm choosing to be my queen - once she reaches of age, of course. she's very sweet and i love her energy and personality."
