Faust was returning from securing the border of the pride with the other Abaholi, although they had spread out to ensure it would be done quickly. There had been a lot of males sniffing around the border recently and, while the three had decided rogue breeding would be permitted for a moon cycle, that didn't mean they wanted males coming into their territory. No, the females would need to leave the protection of the pride to find a mate they thought suitable.
The other two Abaholi got their tails in knots thinking about cubs being born that weren't theirs or Faust's or the Inselelo's, but the grey lion didn't care one way or the other. It brought in new blood and they'd continue to chase the males out at adolescence, regardless of the father, so there was nothing to worry about. He kept those thoughts to himself, though, and continued to do his job in keeping away curious males.
As he returned a dark lioness approached him and he paused his walking, lifting his head to greet her properly. Although he had been with the pride for quite a while now there were still faces he didn't know, and this was one of them. They all knew him, of course...he was one of three males while they were one of hundreds of lionesses.
"A pleasure," he said with a little nod, tucking the name and the face away for later. He did pride himself on remembering everyone's name once they introduced themselves.
"It's been decent, yes." He waited a moment, trying to gauge if she was just here for small talk. "Is there something I can help you with?"
