Chaltuu sighed and hobbled forward. "How do you even know we're going in the right direction?" she growled. Her tail lashed and she stared forward, her gaze harsh and devoid of any other considerable emotion. Was she even sure she wanted to go to Adofo's home? She had never been the most social lioness- far from it, actually. Since she grew up in a cold, isolated environment and wasn't treated nicely by her family and peers alike, she had never developed social skills. She was usually the one asking questions if she met a new rogue along her travels, and usually refused to answer questions about herself. But he had mentioned something about a pride, and she wasn't quite sure she wanted to be among a group of other lions and lionesses.
