Umeme smiled at Muroki. "Alright, just wait right here, I'll be back in just a moment." Making sure that he did not actually follow her, she went inside the den, and saw Hatari quietly crying in the corner of the den. She didn't know if it was because of grief or fear, but she suspected that it was a combination of both.
"...Hatari... We're going home now..." If the lion was paying any attention to her, he didn't react in any way to signal that he heard. Umeme just hoped that he did. "I just want you to know that... that I know that Muroki really frightened you today. But this can still work... We just need some time." Still with no reaction from Hatari, Umeme sighed and left the den. She stopped at the entrance "I'll see you soon."
She walked back to Muroki, who did remain where she had left him, and he joined her by her side when she motioned to him that it was time to go home. As they made the long trek back, Umeme didn't really know what to think of the whole ordeal. Muroki did not kill Hatari as she had feared he might, but he did go completely insane with rage, and in many ways, that was a lot worse than she had imagined what could happen.
And yet, it also looked like things just might turn out alright in the end. She just didn't know.
