Testing the pride - simple interaction and letting it autopilot.

At first, one set of golden eyes lands on you, intrigued. Then another, and another... Just how many lions are here? As the first lions rise to their feet, intrigue turning to intent, the rest of the band of brothers gather. This coalition is comprised of two slightly darker maned, older males who seem more dominant, whilst the other five younger males are blonde still.

As The Satara Coalition, you see a lone lioness approaching in the distance. What do you do?

The Satara Coalition observes the female lioness approaching from afar. Nuru looks at her with a measured gaze before taking charge, gesturing with his head for the rest of the coalition to follow as he moves towards her at a slow pace. Asad and Amani are following closely behind. Ajari and Sumu are preoccupied with play-fighting and are left behind. Theron and Wakala flank the group, ready to provide support if necessary. "We approach cautiously and quietly, curious about this lone lioness."

Tiziri keeps walking, unaware of the lions' presence. She is a bit mesmerized by the vastness of the savannah and the beauty of the sky. As she continues to walk, she catches glimpse of a hyena moseying about in the distance. The hyena notices her and begins to make a low growling sound. Tiziri looks back at the hyena but does not feel threatened.

As the Satara Coalition gets closer, they observe Tiziri's encounter with the hyena. Nuru snarls softly, letting the hyena notice them as they approach Tiziri with caution. "What brings you to our territory?" Nuru says in a low, commanding voice. The rest of the group stands their ground, watching her closely. "We are curious about her response and aware that outsiders are rare in our territory."

Tiziri notices the group of lions for the first time, and although they appear to be asking her a question, she is unsure how to respond. Tiziri is scared, but she tries to remain composed. She looks at Nuru and stares in his eyes. "I'm just wanderin', I'm alone." she says with a low, gentle voice. Her ears are perked up and she keeps her head down.

Nuru looks at her with sharp scrutiny before lowering himself onto his haunches and nodding towards the rest of the group. "We're the Satara Coalition," he says, introducing himself and the rest of the group. "Do you have a pride that you belong to?" he asks her, his tone seeming slightly skeptical. The rest of the coalition remains silent, observing Tiziri closely. "We are wary of her intentions but curious to see her reaction."

As Tiziri replies, Amani interjects a little too eagerly, "Well it seems you might be in need of one, "teasingly nudging Tiziri", joining us could be the answer!" The other lions remain quiet, allowing Nuru to assess the situation. Nuru looks at Tiziri again and says, "Our group doesn't accept newcomers easily, but you seem capable enough. You can stay with us for a while, hunt with us, and prove yourself if you want." "We are curious to see how Tiziri will react to this offer."

Tiziri seems nervous, but she also realizes how hard it is to survive alone on the savannah. She takes a few calculated steps forward, looking up at Nuru with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. "I'll prove myself then," she says, nodding. "Thank you for the offer." "Tiziri is unsure of what will come next, but she senses this might be her best bet for survival."

Nuru nods and gives a small grin, impressed with Tiziri's bravery. "Good, then let's get you started. We'll teach you how to hunt as a team and show you how we operate." The rest of the group observes silently, looking at Tiziri with cautious curiosity. As they begin to walk, Ajari bounds over to Tiziri and whispers, "Don't worry, I'll show you where the best hunting spots are. Just follow me!" before running ahead. "Ajari is excited to have a female around and is curious about Tiziri."
