Raha blushed lightly at his praise. She was proud of her skills as a hunter, though she still had doubts that alone would open all doors as implied. But he might have a point, it was an important thing for a pride to have good hunters. Maybe it was more she hadn't felt comfortable asking or was too afraid that she wouldn't fit in, or just be chased away before she could try.
But she looked up into his eyes and just stared for a moment as if disbelieving his following words. Did he just not only invite her but say he's vouch for her? A small soft smile slid onto her lips and she felt a nervous or maybe excited flutter in her belly.
"What?" She refocused on him. "Oh, oh! Yes, it's been wonderful to meet you Andika." She half stumbled over her words, blushing a bit as she felt like a fool and wasn't entirely sure why. "I'm Raha." She talked on lamely before taking another bite so she didn't continue to blunder while she tried to process the thoughts and feelings rushing through her. Her tail did slowly begin to swish happily across the grasses though, euphoniously happy that such a handsome lion would praise her and then offer her a place somewhere. Somewhere where they could see him again, regularly even.
After a while of eating she swallowed and looked up at him. She wasn't sure how to word things and really didn't know what she was feeling right now. But she would be a fool to not at least consider the idea and ask more about the Pridelands. "I'm at least interested in considering your offer." She said slowly, carefully trying to keep things casual and not just run him over with excitement.
"Would... would you mind telling me more about your pride?" She asked curiously, but somewhat hesitantly. She knew the basics or at least the labels and such that others pass about but if she was actually going to consider this seriously, she would love to hear about it from the view of one that lives and clearly loves their pride.
