Bandit smiled, and listened. "Mandrills huh?" he hummed, "Mom and dad told me about the mandrill that lives in the Pridelands, not a lot because... well." he shrugged. "I wonder if he's gotten even kookier over the years." he chuckled. He raised a brow at Yun Mibu's comment on the mandrills. "...cute?" He had only ever heard that word used to mock prey and soft predators... but he did realize Yun Mibu was one. But to own it like that? He was a brave one.
"Yeah, we must not be far from you guys. Don't worry, er, in fact don't tell me." he smiled, "I don't have no reason to know where you live!" he insisted. He didn't want to put Yun Mibu in danger after all, it made him look very caring he felt, too.
"Nah, we're small but we work together as predators." he smiled.

Yun Mibu nodded as Bandit broke off in explaining why he didn't know much on the Mandrill of the Pride Lands. The leopard himself had only heard of Rafiki for the most part. "Oh, is he...a bit out there?" he asked, "I hadn't heard that, and haven't seen him".
He didn't mean the term cute in a disturbing manner, but could recognize that some predators might use it wrongly.
"Uh, yes, just in the way any young animal, even young leopard cubs would be, not...", he cleared his throat and moved on.
He understood, and appreciated, the predator courtesy of being allowed to keep his actual location private. "Well I don't know if it is close, but if I hear about Rabia and can provide better directions to any who could help I'll be sure to mention it".

He nodded, "At least that's what dad always said. Smart but uh... weird. They could never explain quite how, to me anyways... you'll see!"
He gave Yun Mibu a goofy grin, slugging Yun Mibu in the shoulder, "Nah I know what you mean. You're a softie ain't you?" he seemed happy about it, at least.
"Really? That would be great!" he responded, "Honestly ain't real hard to find, just um, find the place everyone avoids with a lot of jackals in it." he scratched his ear a little, it didn't feel great to say that.

Yun Mibu nodded back as he took in how Bandit's parents had described Rafiki. He smiled. "Well I'm sure with all he's said to know he would come off...odd; and oh yes, I hope to meet him some day!". It was sort of in the dream category though, he couldn't imagine why he would ever have a need to walk straight into the Pride Lands, and of course he would check before just waltzing in.
The clouded leopard gave back an unsure smile. He'd been called worse than softie. "A bit...non-aggressive yes", and he'd had other leopards and predators criticize it. At least Bandit seemed understanding. Yun Mibu was not given to believing stereotypes but now would think twice about any about jackal assumptions he heard and with how Bandit was.
"And of course, most of us out here do try to be helpful, if...a bit isolated at times". It did lack that sense of unity the Pride Lands were said to have, but it worked. "In fact...", Yun Mibu thought and realized there was one thing he could try. "I met a tiger once too. Maybe if I found her I could ask if she knows any others who might be willing to help. I'll go see if I can find her...uh, you're welcome to come but...it could be far" he warned.
Again, if not he could just send them to Rabia if and when he did find them.

Bandit quirked a brow, Yun Mibu sure was friendly to everyone. He thought he was nice but this cat was something else. "Some day? What, you got to make a reservation or somethin'?" he joked, but had a feeling this guy might not be able to just stroll in and talk to someone important.
The jackal blinked, but kept a friendly smile. "I'm like that too! Everyone says I'm nice, real nice." he said, of course nice didn't mean honest.
He hrmed, "Huh... you're a big softie but like being by yourself?" he chuckled. "Or does it just get lonely?
He hrmed, "That sounds like a good idea! I wouldn't want to trouble you, so um... Let me know when you are good! I'll probably not be busy while uh, working on our.. reputation.

Yun Mibu laughed, catching it was a joke but also answering. "No, just I don't know when a humble leopard like me will be entering the Pride Lands and...well...if you say they have problems with jackals there I don't know how they'll feel about leopards". He knew most leopards did tend to be in the Backlands and other territories.
"No, it's not lonely, we're solitary by nature and there's always someone to talk to". Now jackals included!
"Will do, and I'll go look for her now, bye and it was nice to meet you", he said before bounding off.

The jackal smiled, "Oh no it's more um, they kicked us out, remember? You ain't got kicked out yet! Not a problem for you, especially with how nice you are." he grinned. "Besides you're a chocolate leopard not a yeller one!"
He just nodded, understanding at Yun Mibu's nature... he was very familiar with his own of course.
"Same to you, softie!" Bandit replied as Yun Mibu left, satisfied he got at least a good impression on the stranger.
