Please let
@Rizura post first! And then come meet her if you want. S'ari's sister, here to join the Tribe.
S'ari and Ri'zura made it back to Verdigris Ravine with no issues, and now that they were here, S'ari felt some need to show off the place.
You can see we have water here, and vegetation. Perhaps there are medicinal plants here? You can look later. Also, there is shade from the hot sun.
S'ari thought.
We have found hare trails nearby, so there is good hunting, as well. We will stay here for now.
She turned toward Ri'zura then.
So, what does this one think, eh? It is a good home?
The ravine was indeed bountiful, just as S'ari had said. Ri'zura searches with a keen eye, tail swaying gently in satisfaction. It is good. Strong birthplace for tribe.
Ri'zura dig burrow. Then find medicines to keep.
All in due time. First, she wanted to meet the others that her kin had collected along the way.
Others? Where?
Did they hide? Sleep? Roam? She could not help but be impatient, excited to meet those that would be joining them.
Dark woman returned, her sleek form carrying for once not an animal in her jaws, but Plants. She did not know of what kind she held, but the earth under her paws said they were important.
The coyjackal set these before S'ari, asking This one knows little of Plants, but the earth tells Kusuma this one is good for Tribe,
and then did her amber gaze land upon the newcomer. Her head tilted, muzzle reaching out slightly and nose twitching.
Tribe, smell faintly like S'ari.
Who you? This one is Kusuma.
Gonna reply just to keep this going but others are welcome to join still (maybe not too, too many, so this thread doesn't take forever to end though?)
Ah! Here came Kusuma now, the first one to meet S'ari's sister! And what was she carrying in her jaws? S'ari gave a sniff and smelled vegetation. Plants? How fortuitous! Perhaps Ri'zura would be able to sort through them.
Kusuma, meet S'ari's sister, Ri'zura! S'ari found her wandering the sand dunes and brought her home. She will join us, yes?
S'ari glanced at the bundle of plants.
And, Ri'zura is a healer. The desert must have whispered this in Kusuma's ears, and made her bring back these plants.
S'ari chuckled.
Before her questions could be answered, someone joined them. They smelled of this place, of tribe. This was one of them!
Ri'zura glad to finally meet one whom sister speaks of.
Stepping closer, she dips her head in form of sincerity.
She dipped her head in turn. Reshura. You Sahri-kin, yes?
she knew no term for 'brother' or sister, only of kin. They were all kin.
The black-pelted desert dweller's tail wagged softly, sniffing her once more. Remember scent, to wind. Must remember for wind-whispers and earth-pulls, earth-feelings. She could see in the dark with those, ensure that regardless of blacksky or silversky that there was no one Kusuma couldn't recognize. And if she didn't, well - greater problems awaited her.
I bring Plants for Tribe. Do not know what do, but sand beneath paws say is Plant for Tribekin.
S'ari is skippable and just sort of watching the interaction!
S'ari stood back and watched as Ri'zura and Kusuma met and spoke. It was a surreal feeling, to have a member of her home Tribe here, meeting someone of her
new Tribe. She found herself growing emotional at the idea, and shook her head a little, trying to clear her thoughts.
Do not be ridiculous, she thought to herself. And smiled.
A soft rumble answered the query. S'ari-kin. Tribe-kin.
For she was both, as all among them were kin, despite blood ties. She would become as close to the rest as she had once been with her sister of blood.
Searching the cluster of flora Kusuma had brought, Ri'zura sniffed gently. Yes. Ri'zura think these help. She study them later.
Along with the rest she intended to find inhabited in this ravine.
