Meeting Seto:
You find yourself in a strange cavern beneath the ground. For a moment, you'd thought that you'd reached the outside, but the ceiling was still stone despite the strange colors and you could see that behind the trees were more of that strange colored stone.
There was a small waterfall in the middle of the room that leaded to what looked like a natural hot spring and steam rose steadily from it. The waterfall provided some relaxing ambient noise.
In the cold air, your breath came out as hot vapor that swirled curiously in the air before dissipating. Your shaggy fur didn't provide near enough protection, it was much too cold in here.
You looked around warily for dangers, but could see none and so you allowed yourself to relax and walk towards the hot spring.
"Hello there, young lion," a smoky voice singsonged.
You spun around, claws out.
A beautiful lioness stood behind you, close enough that you found yourself whisker to whisker with her. She was extremely beautiful.
You took a half step back, embarrassed.
"Hello uh..." you stumbled for words, your usually silvertongue failing you.
You felt like an awkward cub again.
Her intense silver eyes watched you with a hint of amusement swimming in their depths.
"You can call me Makeda if you so wish.
And you, young one. What is your name?"
"Seto. You're in my lands and haven't heard my name?" you asked incredulously. You hadn't stuttered that much, to your relief.
"I'm just passing through. I didn't know these lands were yours or I would have certainly paid you a visit," she purred, and you suddenly felt very hot. It was just the temperature you told yourself, even if you'd just been complaining about how freezing cold it was in here just a little while ago.
"Uh. Ah," you replied very eloquently and proceeded to further stuff your paw into your mouth,"Uh. Well. You can pay me a visit now. I mean, you are. We're talking and stuff. I uh."
Your mouth snapped shut so fast your teeth clicked and one of your sharp sabers grazed your lip.
She laughed. "Yes, we certainly are."
You idly wondered if a lion could die of embarrassment, and decided that you were probably about to find out if the rest of your attempts at conversation went like this.
You awkwardly stared at your paws, wondering if the great Earth lion could open his mouth and swallow you if you prayed hard enough.
An awkward silence (to you) stretched for what seemed like an eternity.
Makeda was the one who finally broke it.
"So, would you like to show me around your lands, Seto?
You nodded eagerly, grateful for anything to break that uncomfortable silence.
The lioness smiled. She found this Seto...amusing. Perhaps she'd stay around, spend some time with him.
After all, what was time to a Goddess?

Game Dialogue:
When you approach to say hello today, Shaman Goddess steps back and snarls, but she continues to be nice afterwards.
You wonder where Shaman Goddess found that really cool bug she is playing with. When you ask her, though, she just invites you to play. Alrighty then.
You went up to Shaman Goddess to ask how hunting practice went today. She instead told you all about a cool bird she saw on the way. You guess she doesn't really want to talk about it. Ah well.
As you two greet each other, Shaman Goddess moves away when you get too close. You try to approach her again, and she begrudgingly accepts the friendly nuzzle you offer her. She looks a bit bothered about it, though.
