The unexpected friendship (Dutch06)

(This is my first fanfiction. I haven’t done anything like this before so excuse any inconsistencies present.)
It is a dark time in the Pride Lands as famine has increased, the only ones left are the remnants of Mufasa’s Pride and Shenzi’s clan. Tensions rise as the demand for more resources increases.
Nala: (To herself) I had never imagined that the place that I had known for so long could be torn to shreds and become so… empty. It is no longer a safe haven and now a desolate wasteland. There is nothing left.
Sarafina: Nala, please be careful out there. You don’t know what might be out there, but… I do hope you find someone who can help overthrow Scar and his tyranny. Good luck.
Nala: I will be back, I promise. I love you mother.
(Nala makes her exit into the night, going out beyond the Pride Lands’ borders to the Outlands)
…
(The scene now opens with Dutch, a Hyena who mostly lives on his own in the Outlands.)
Dutch: (yawns) Let’s hope something good will happen today… I can feel it. 
(Footsteps are heard in the distance)
Dutch: Huh? A Lioness, Out here? You must be joking! I must not be seeing things right… 
(rubs his eyes)
Dutch: …and no, I was not. I suppose she’s alone, which is odd considering that most of the hunting parties have been in greater numbers…
(Looks down at Nala)
Dutch: Hey! Are you uh… lost? 
Nala: Wha-… who are you? 
Dutch: That’s not important, what IS important is if you answer my question.
Nala: Oh. Well, technically I am. Although how can I trust that you aren’t just going to lead me into danger?
Dutch: I see your point. Well, if you just let me show you how to get to the Back Lands, I think I can assure you that I won’t be what you think. Deal?
Nala: Deal.
Dutch: Ok, but I have to warn you: it’s not an easy trip, but since you made it through the Great Border River… (chuckles) I would believe you could handle it.

(Nala gives him a smirk, and he stops smiling. The two head further into the canyons with Dutch in the lead.)
