Vitha continued working for a moment before she glanced upwards. She could consider it a dulled sensation now; eyes were always upon her in one way or another, few of them kind. She didn't care what others thought. Her father's death had hit her hard, and it had nulled some of her smaller fears in how the pride as a whole viewed her as a whole. They could spread gossip and sling words at her, but the pain would not be like loving Mwovu.
"Lo there," she replied. No name offered, no name taken. There were too many here that she was related to, by her mother or her mate, but Vitha had stopped trying to learn their names. If they would come underneath her wing, then she would learn of them, of what they wanted in life.
"May I assist you?" she ask carefully, her movement stilling as she matched his view.

Vitha watched the brown lion shift, his orange gaze seemingly pouring all of his hopes into her reply...and yet there was something holding him back. More than likely the desire to life, to survive, to wish that everything was over and gone. It was hard to face down the truth of a broken reality, even if it seemed as if everything has returned to normal.
"Both," she replied quietly, returning a moment to her task. She pushed her gathering goods into a spot, marked it with a circle around for locating it later, and turned to the male. "The danger is here, and yet there will be more danger later. Somehow, precious time was bought for us. But we have to be prepared for more. It is impossible to believe that that night was the end of it all."

"I hoped you wouldn't say that," Suni said with a sigh, still standing before her and looking rather tense.. but like nothing was resolved by hearing this answer. There were gods involved in this, of course they wouldn't just wander away. If you could live forever, how long would a few months feel to you?
"Something is wrong," he said, apparently intent to spill his guts now that he was before Vitha, "I can't control my visions anymore. It happened to him, too, and now he's gone. I wonder if my time is almost up, too."
For once, he almost felt like he ought to join them. Join the cult and try desperately to face the problem head on, but as sure as he felt that something bad was coming, he felt almost as sure there was nothing they could really do. He hadn't even fully realized that he had connected all these dots to his own demise. Could this really just be something that happened when a seer's life was almost spent? He had never heard anything like that before and he had known plenty of seers. Still, he couldn't shake that thought.
