Lion Head Mesa Time

Hope there's room for me before it gets too busy

The lake and its lush surroundings had been left behind for broad flatlands and stone behemoths. The mesa rises tall in the sky and the ogre girl's eyes trails it upwards as far as her little neck can go.

Mesen-ka has them walk beside him. He chatters about the palace and something about a fair-row? Taliba has only one ear canted to him as her eyes now chase the passing shadows. Wolves and creatures discernibly not wolf are about. Their scent strong, the palace air fragant with all sorts of odd new plants to the girl.

Taliba was currently eyeing down a passing coyote when a new sound comes skittering through. Another cub! Wide eyes turn to Neith as she instigates a wrestling match with her brother. Taliba is shocked! Never had she seen another little girl before. Girl children were new and strange to the child with only brothers.

Ibrahim pins the princess and Taliba takes the opportunity to nose all over the captured girl. Tail wagging furiously. She queries aloud, What is a Neith?
