Vtsi took the apple gingerly from her hand, which moved up the side of the horses' muzzle in a long stroke as soon as it was free. Keeping her hand upon him, rested just beneath his ear, Ayegali leaned forward to press her head against his for a moment, showing her appreciation to her friend. She was still where she stood, breathing paced and body calm, the only signal of change being the slight movement of her ears, which tipped forward and cupped outwards. She could hear the quiet of her cougar companion, Tlvdatsi, behind her, though he had yet to show himself since their arrival. He sounded unsettled, which signaled to the dark woman that something was amidst. She kept her eyes forward, listening quietly as she stood against Vtsi.
Before she had a chance to pinpoint whoever or whatever it was that was in the area, the thing willingly showed itself. The still woman moved finally, turning her head to settle her eyes upon the male that emerged slowly from the shadows of the trees. She kept her silver gaze locked on him, intense but still soft in some way, cautious and curious all at once. It was while he spoke that she turned herself away from Vtsi, removing her hand from beneath his ear and bringing it to rest carefully on his neck. She and Vtsi shared quite the deep connection, which was why her hand remained upon him. He had chosen her when she was still but a pup, unable to ride or even understand the concept, and they had been together ever since. He would feel her distress, if there was a cause for any, simply by the gentle hand that she left upon him.
"No." She answered quietly, taking the moments that she spoke to examine him. "We are not from around here." The markings on his face, her eyes lingered on them for a few moments in an attempt to discern what the symbol was, to try and think of what it meant and where it came from, if it was the marking of another tribe similar to her own. "Vtsi and I are from far away, we've been traveling many months to find a suitable home for ourselves and the tribe." Ayegali wasn't the type to simply give away important information, though in the face of possible danger, she found it the wise thing to do to make sure others knew that she was not alone. At least not in some sort of fashion, as the tribe was many days behind her, they would never reach her if she found herself in some kind of trouble.
"I am Ayegali Kala, Chieftainess of the AniWaya Tribe." She offered her own introduction first, she and her companions had been the ones to enter their lands, after all, even if the lands that she stood on were not claimed by anyone particular.
