The pride was buzzing with life, every clan now together as one big happy family. Groups of lions could be seen chatting happily amongst each other, sharing goods and even sparring for fun. It was during this festival that Tafuki had found her new home. Wandering through the droves of lions, Tafuki stopped to watch a newly wed couple interact with their family. It brought a smile to her face, watching how happy they both were and how excited their extended family was to see them together.
Offering her congratulations she continued onward, towards the center of the festivities. Vendors or many wares had been made available- art, jewelry and wearable pelts among other items could be found. The white lioness had taken a liking to one of the delicate wood carvings for trade. Smiling at the vendor, she declined the trade but continued to watch others swap for this that and the next thing.
Being so close to so many other made Tafuki realize something as she stood quietly. She truly had no one to explore with. It had been a few years since her joining and yet she still hadn't made any close friends. Furrowing her brows, she made a decision. This year she would make friends, come out of her shell and maybe even meet her future husband.
Locking eyes on the carving one last time, Tafuki nodded her goodbye to the artist and moved on. Bright white fur glittering in the sunlight as she continued to make her rounds.

Tafuki jumped away as the young lion stumbled in front of her, landing in a messy pile at her feet. Raising a brow, she knelt down and studied him, “Are you alright?” Seafoam eyes glittered with curiosity and empathy. She certainly hoped that soon the lion in front of her would get up or at the very least maybe tell her what she could do to help him.
Shifting from one paw to the other, Tafuki leaned in further so only the stranger could hear her. “We should probably get moving, there is a group starting to form.” And indeed there was one, all of which were staring at the two lions, not quite sure what was going on, but happy to gawk at them. “Come on…” She nudged him with her head and offered a friendly smile. “I can check you out somewhere quieter.”
Shooting a concerned, yet anxious look at the lion in front of her, Tafuki moved backward. “Let’s go this way.”

Tafuki studied the younger lion and shook her head at his suggestion to go back to the market. She didn’t have the gear to trade for things and she most certainly didn’t want to be around the gossip that was sure to be buzzing about them. “I was about done anyway.” Studying the purple and pink lion, Tafuki concluded that he had no injuries.
“What happened back there, did you lose balance or something?” She contemplated her next course of action, he wasn’t injured and she had no idea who he was, but she had made it a point to make new friends. “Oh!” White ears shot up excitedly, “I am Tafuki of the bird clan- I tend to keep to myself so this is a bit awkward for me.” Better to be honest with him than pretend to be someone she wasn’t, and she most certainly was an outgoing lioness.
“…Um…” The white lioness was at a loss of words, should she continue the conversation, sit quietly and wait for a reply, run off and hide from the world for the day? Taking a deep breath in, seafoam eyes darted about, following the buzz of the festival. Was it odd for her to be talking to an adolescent like this?

Tafuki shook her head, “No, it is fine- Like I said I was just about done there anyway.” She offered him a soft smile and allowed her to continue. As he spoke a small smile formed and before she knew it, she was laughing. So her fur had distracted him in the crowd? Contemplating what he had said, she realized there were few white pelted lions in the Ela and even less colorful ones. Perhaps that was the reason everyone looked in the first place?
“I can see what you are saying- There is definitely less of us then there are of them.” Looking down at his big paws, she smirked he was still growing into them and still had that child-like curiosity most shed upon adulthood. It was honestly nice, most looked at her as an oddity without tattoos and with so much white upon her pelt.
“So I hear.” Laughing at his over explanation of things, Tafuki felt a lightheartedness. It had been a long time since she just had a conversation without worry of judgement. His mention of her lack of tattoos however made her stiffen up, “Y-yeah… I have been meaning to get them but haven’t found the courage to ask.” Looking at her paws, Tafuki shifted awkwardly on her feet, the thought of her politely taking her leave presently in mind.
