The male kept pace with the female, but lagged behind her slightly out of nerves. From previous experience, not all leaders looked kindly towards loners. Especially ones with such a lack of experience as he had. He wasn't a very accomplished fighter. Nor a hunter. The kind of individual most prides turned away, as he could prove a burden. None of the other prides had the resources to train him, or just simply didn't want to, and he'd been driven out of their territories on several occasions. Hopefully this pride would be different, but Lenka didn't know for sure. He knew he was naïve and he could get himself into trouble if caution was not exercised.
At least this female seemed pleasant, which boded well. She lacked the bitterness he'd seen in the other prides, so maybe he could fit in. "Thank you!" he chuffed in response to her first statement, smiling politely. His limbs quivered with excitement as they moved deeper into the territory. One step closer. When she asked him for his name, his playful grin returned. "Oh, sorry! Wasn't very polite of me to not introduce myself!" He nodded his head politely, before continuing. "The name's Lenka. Might I ask you for your name, ma'am?" He thought maybe addressing her in polite terms might mean he wouldn't get his tail ripped off just yet.
