[Level thread: Scout Out An Area, all welcome]

Deep cloud cover had chased in a chill wind. It blustered at the spotted creature's back, and touseled the shooting grass beneath his paws. The snow had long since disappaered from the low valleys and grasslands, but the temperature wasn't quite warm enough to be spring yet. Devonte moved with purpose, following the ridges of the shallowly-hilled plains. He watched the swaying grass with a careful eye. There was prey here, surely, but there could equally be danger. With a thoughtful flick of his ear he pressed onwards, minding his step on the damp grass as he explored beneath the grey sky.

[Gwyneth]

Gwyneth had been minding the view of the trees and the grass on how they swayed with the wind. The wind whistled ever so gently through her ears, gentle enough that it wouldn't hurt as it breezed on her face. As she sat and watched her ears twitched back and forth from the wind as much as it had a gentle breeze, it was time to move on and find food. Laid low with ears down to avoid startling prey, she pushed on. Laying low among the grass she saw what seemed to be another lion, with grass in face she wasn't sure it's size or if hostile. With a quick reflection she raised from the grass and greeted them "Hel...lo" with a anxious tone. 

[Kiira]

Having been lost, kiira strolled around the damp plains without caution, looking for some form of landmark that would signal where he is. After walking around for quite some time he notices 2 figures out of the corner of his eye. upon further inspection it seems to be 2 unfamiliar lions to Kiira. Thinking to himself about whether or not he should confront the 2 he decides to go and ask them for his whereabouts.

[Devonte]

The rustle of grass to his left made Devonte halt abruptly. His paw, poised mid-step, was nearly late to save him as his toes slid on the wet slope. Snagging his claws into the soil, Devonte regained his balance and fixated the brown lioness with a cautionary stare.

"Mind you don't give someone a heart attack with those antics, love." he warned - though his tone was only slightly annoyed and the calm swish of his tail didn't betray any temper.

It appeared the pair of them weren't alone. The thud of larger paws had Devonte glancing to his right. The grass had disguised another cat - this one a stormy grey. "Here to join the party, eh? Must be rush hour." He snorted a soft chuckle, gaze flicking between the pair of strangers.

Gwyneth Kiira

[Gwyneth]

Gwyneth had made an anxious greeting to the unknown lion that she had startled a little but little to her knowing she wasn't the only one hiding among the grass. It seemed a smaller lion had been lurking around, lurking maybe she thought by the way she was greeted the lion had also greeted another lion present that she was unaware of. Laying just enough in the grass to hide her size she rose all advisable hoping this the best idea. She had a quick thought best to introduce herself "I...I'm Gwy...neth." With an anxious introduction out the way she might be less anxious knowing that that know her name.

Devonte  Kiira

[Kiira]

As Kiira was approaching the two lions she realised that they seemed smaller from a distance which in reality are much bigger than Kiira himself. Feeling out of place as the two taller lions looked his way he decided the safest option was to speak up "H-hello, I am Kiira and I got a Bit l-lost while exploring the lands until I came across t-the two of you" He said clearly uncomfortable with the situation he got himself into.

Devonte Gwyneth

[Devonte]

They both seemed to be timid things. Settling onto a seated position, Devonte allowed his slight frown to slip away. It was replaced by a curious glimmer in his eyes, searching the two strangers with idle interest. Nothing about their pelts really gave away where they were from and he couldn't help but ponder.

Gwyneth was the first to offer a name and Devonte took note. Kiira too offered up his. Devonte was hesitant to offer his own - though he was a kindly soul, they were still strangers and he wanted to know a little more. No harm in being nosy, right?

"Lost, eh? 'Fraid im not gonna be much help for getting any further than the mountains, but I reckon I could help yous' out. " He twitched an ear, thoughtful. "How about you, then? You lost too?" he directed towards Gwyneth. Wasn't really like he had anything better to do with his day.

Gwyneth Kiira

[Gwyneth]

As she slowly rose from the shrubs with her anxious greeting another lion had introduced themselves as Kiira, that of the spotted lion did not speak name but he had asked if she was lost as well in a kindly manor. With her current refection of her greeting working she now can ease her anxiousness a little. She plunged her rear down and sat getting comfortable "I'm not really...sure...I think I'm lost." With subtle pauses in between her sentence she new she was still a little anxious around these lions.

Devonte Kiira

[Kiira]

Looking over at Gwyneth, Kiira felt a little relief seeing that he wasn't the only one nervous in this situation. Still a bit taken back by how big the other two lions were though he was still scared but knew that he should still speak up. "Y-yeah I was just exploring to see if I could find anything to eat but I lost track of time and before I knew it I was lost. My home is by some ruins in the forest by the mountains. I-I-If you would be so kind to help me that would be fantastic"  Kiira said in a quiet but understandable tone.

Devonte Gwyneth

[Devonte]

So they were both lost. Such was the habits of youngsters, wandering without worrying where they'd end up. Devonte offered an easy smile, tipping his broad head as he glanced over the pair. He didn't believe in fate, but he was pleased wanderlust had struck him at just the right time to let him help out a couple kids in need.

"Ruins near the forest hmm?" he picked up from Kiira, nodding idly, "Yeah I might have an idea where those might be." He rose to his paws, stretching out his toes. "We might wanna get a move on if you don't wanna be travelling in the dark." Gray-gold eyes flicked to Gwyneth. "You should come too, love. Might find a landmark you know." He didn't know whether she had a home here already, or was new to these lands like himself but Devonte was never one to turn away company. Besides - her timid manner made it seem like she needed some guidance, to Devonte.

"The name's Devonte, before I forget."

Gwyneth Kiira

[Gwyneth]

Idling amongst the scrubs Gwyneth took note of both lions names so she wouldn't forget if the time came to thank or she needed to ask something. With no idea where she was Devonte had asked to her tag along while they travel to the ruins in search for Kiira's home to see if she knew any landmarks on the way, to her she thought that she might but unsure with this land as it was all new to her. Who knows she thought a friendship could be formed from this adventure.

She nodded her in agreeance to Devonte, "Lead the way, I'll follow." spoken with confidence, noting what he said about the night and began to follow him.

Kiira Devonte

[Kiira]

Surprised that both of the lions are willing to help Kiira gave him a feeling of happiness. Although he knew nothing about the two other than their names, he felt as if they could be friends if this continued but he still had that doubt in his mind that nothing was that easy right?

"T-thank you for the help. I don't mean to bother you with such a stupid task all because of me." Kiira said clearly surprised about the offer for help. "Lead the way please" he said with a visible smile starting to show on his face

Devonte Gwyneth

[Devonte]

So their path was set. Devonte felt a swell of pride in his chest. It felt good to helping travellers again, or at least to have people depending on him. Even if it was for only a little while. Flashing the pair of them a confident grin, he motioned over his shoulder. "Alright then, young-uns, lets head ourselves out."

And with that he turned himself to begin the trek towards the foggy mountains. As they walked, he began to regale them with interesting facts, about the plains, about himself. But boy did he love a good walking story.

Gwyneth Kiira

[Gwyneth]

Awkwardly standing there and anxious like Kirra, Devonte was kind and sweet to lead them through the jungle to find Kirra's home and maybe that Gwyneth could eye any notable surroundings that might indicate home to her. Although confused and anxious it was more comforting to travel with others and someone that knows the area for quicker treks. Devonte lead the way towards the mountains, foggy and no doubt cold he spoke of some interesting facts from the lands to himself. It kept the journey interesting and pasted time.

Keeping her eye's peeled for notable surroundings as they journeyed. She noted everything down for future reference if she ever needed to find her way again.
