Trisdi’s walk took her closer to the ever-heated waters when she noticed a shadow circling above. Upon glancing up at it, it became more clear that it wasn’t a bird or falcon flying up above as they drew closer. Her body tensed as she stilled, but she watched them with curiosity. They landed a safe distance away and - in her mind, at least - they were big enough to be slowed down on land if they posed a danger and she needed to flee. Tris was built for speed, after all.
His body language was pleasant, though, so she couldn’t help but match his smile with a slightly playful one of her own. "I was just out waiting for some company for the day," she replied with a hint of humor in her tone. This land thrived with plenty of places to explore, but that didn’t mean it was well-populated.
Trisdi didn’t catch any strong scent on the wind that would have been a tell of a kingdom, but it wasn’t like that mattered much to her, anyway. She didn’t belong to one herself and she knew this land was not claimed, so there should be no issue from either party. But her curiosity was piqued. What was such a large lion doing in the land of geysers? Didn’t they prefer warmer climates? It wasn’t like she had met enough lions to know for sure, but it was enough to gain some interest in her new conversation partner.
"What about you? Surely there are more interesting lands to explore than these never-changing geysers. Unless you were looking to have a dip in the hot springs." Her tail whisked to her side in a slow wag as Tris tilted her head with a playful smile. He was a curious fellow from first impressions, but she was game for some new acquaintances… especially if that meant one less day of boredom in the geysers before she migrated further south.
