"Hello," she replied brightly, smiling at him. She had caught the yawn and his obvious effort to keep it all under control.. so he was clearly newer than she had thought and still getting used to being up all night. Unfortunately, that wasn't a good place to start a conversation with someone you had just met so she focused on what he asked instead.
"Good," Sifa answered, "It's quiet around here tonight, haven't seen many outsiders or herds.."
Not much to guard when nothing was going on but ultimately that was a good thing for all of them.
"My name is Sifa," she said, "You don't look familiar, are you new?"

Sifa looked surprised when he asked how long she had been in the pride. She always assumed, like so many others around the Mwezi'Johari, that she was just very obviously a part of one of the largest families here. To be fair, though, she took a great deal after her father, who took after his mother.. but the blue and the moon had to give her away. Maybe he just hadn't picked up on that yet, though.
"I was born here," she said, resisting the urge to point out just how new he had revealed himself to be, "My parents are guards in the Middle Class. Neither of them like to stand out much but you can definitely tell which families my father is from."
Maybe if she had Malkia's clouds, she would be more obvious.
It was also a good opportunity to try to fish out what class he was in without asking directly. She hadn't met him before so he wasn't upper-middle like her, that left only two options. If was middle class, he would have met her parents, at least in passing.

She nodded in response to his question about guards running in the family but didn't elaborate. Her side of the family was often forgotten in regard to their connection to Thoth, Selene and their families.. and it made things weirdly complicated. A newbie wouldn't know much about that, and it wouldn't be worth the effort to explain.
She also realized she struck a nerve when he answered her question. The name Aka'mleli was familiar to her but she couldn't quite place why that was the case.. had others found their way here from there? That wasn't worth suggesting, either.
"I'm sorry," she said, smiling sheepishly, "I hope you like it here."
Hopefully Kimondo would come back from the Tianxia and the pride would continue on the steady, peaceful course that had been set after Shangyue's death. It was possible but, of course, she had heard plenty expressing their doubt. But that was another worry a new lion was best not burdened with.
"Our patrol routes clearly overlap," Sifa said, grasping at some way to steer the conversation back to something light and pleasant, "Do you want to walk with me for a bit? I'll show you some of the nearby routes, give you a head-start on getting moved off this patrol."
