Neema follows the lion guard to Rafiki's tree.
"Rafiki." Kion calls out. "we've brought a injured leopard."
"what do we have here?" Rafiki chuckles bouncing his way across the floor to stand in front of Neema. "a young leopard no doubt." He checks her teeth. "very strong and sharp looking teeth you have there, miss leopard."
"th-thanks?" Neema pouts slightly. 'oh great... a baboon...'
"a predator of the far north region." Rafiki nods. "oh yes very far from home this girl is." He looks her once over and nods again. "no injuries just weary from running."
"yes that's what I've been trying to say." Neema huffs. "I've been run out of every place I've walked through..."
"perhaps there is a reason for one from so far north to be down here in the pridelands." Rafiki shrugs. "if you are looking for other leopards you won't find any here."
"hu?" Neema questions.
"no leopards live here." Rafiki says again pouting slightly because he doesn't like to repeat himself. "You may rest here tonight. I suggest an audience with the king first thing in the morning."
"oh yeah." Kion nods. "my dad would love to meet you Neema. I don't think he's seen a leopard before. My dad will know if there is any place for you here."
Fuli nods. "that sounds great." She looks outside at the setting sun and smiles. "I'm going to bed while it's peaceful."
"alright Fuli night." Kion nods to Fuli as she passes in front of him and goes to the other side of the tree to lay down.
"usiku mwema." Everyone else chimes. [usiku mwema = good night. I hope that's what that means since I can't trust google translate :/]
"I think I'll turn in for a bit too." Beshte nods and yawns. "it's been awhile since we've had a break."
"I agree I'm Bunga tired..." Bunga huffs and fall over on the ground and begins snoring.
"alright sleep well guys." Kion smiles a bit. "Neema I'm sure your worn out so I'll show you around tomorrow. You can lay wherever you like." He motions around the tree then he leaps onto a rock and lays down. "I should probably warn you ahead of time but if we get a call for help we run out of here pretty fast so try not to get too startled if we accidentally wake you up."
"alright." Neema nods and flops over where she's standing. "thank you."
And then they sleep.
