Betyr


"Well, thank you for offering yourself Betyr. You are very a respectable and noble warrior. You're right, I should explain myself more, I have decided to be the temporary leader of this pride until my replacement is properly picked. There will be a competition where each contestant must prove themselves. Mowgli and I will be main judges since we are Wise Ones. Though anyone can voice their opinions about certain cats any time. Now onto to why I'm not leader. It is a time for a change, a new tradition. And that change does not include me as your leader. Why this change needs happen? Well you never know why change happens until it happens. I'm not doing just for myself. I'm doing this for all of you. You all deserve a great guide for the things to come. If you would like to join the competition, speak to me privately. This meeting is over."

Betyr dipped his head is ascent to Nevaeh's response. It was clear that he was reluctant in doing so, but the soft, however, still judgmental glint in his eye. The pride, and himself, understood better the decision of course, and still... This kind of change was an unnerving concept. He granted that change did happened over the seasons of good or bad cycles, over long stretches of time; but it could more usually be attributed to a bad drought, or changes in territorial boundaries, or war, or sickness even. To not have a Zorin descendant to lead them, it was unheard of until now. Which was the cause of chaos felt swirling around the pride's members. Weary of such a change, weary of some far-fetched ancestral retribution - yes, Betyr could agree with it such sentiments. But, he would respect their temporary leader's decision and wishes, of course.

As the crowd dispersed to resume duties or free-time during the day to include idle chatting to peaceful snoozing, Betyr noted the sudden disappearance of Nevaeh. Closely followed by Akinyi on the other young lioness, and lagging on the tail, Nuru went as well. It was a curious sight with no Patrols scheduled, and the evening hunts weren't ready to begin, but three cats together - two Lioness and a Leopard with enough attitude to make himself as large as a Lion if he felt the need for it (which was, well, often enough) could handle themselves without worry on his part. It was then he glanced upward, Mowgli too had noticed their abrupt departure, but had the right idea. A nap, under the tree mind, Betyr would not dream of ever getting up a tree or laying on a branch (he knew well his weight and size, could not be supportive by most, if any trees, easily, sounded good.

Seryn


Even as Betyr mentioned he was going to take a small nap himself, Seryn did not feel like she could join him. She was far to awake to resume her own nap, previous to the meeting. It would be a struggle attempt to be more or less fake being asleep without bothering her white lion 'brother', let alone and most importantly not bother the grumpy Mowgli perched on the tree branch above. She felt it was caused by the unease felt by a lack of understanding, and even now after knowing more about the reason why Nevaeh had made such a decision, and the coming changes; all still tickled her paw pads into restlessness.

"Alright, Betyr. I'm going to go scout the herds for the evening hunt. She purred softly, giving a friendly tail-whack to his chest as he walked away to lounge in the tree's shade - sprawled out, with his heavy head resting on his paws. She turned on her heels, and brought her gait into an easy jog out the entrance of the fraction and unto the plains. She was curious where the others had went, but not wanting to spoil time alone or hunting she could only assume, Seryn headed a different direction than the one the three - Nevaeh, Akinyi, and Nuru- had taken earlier.

Scouting the herds for the evening hunt was rather uneventful. Most of the pride's common prey animals hadn't moved much since the morning hunt had stirred them around a bit, everything seemed healthy and well fed at a distance. Although, towards the north, the wildebeest certainly were throwing up quite the anxious cloud of dust, had drastically moved their positions from the morning, and seemed to be acting funny. Well, funnier than normal. Cat's made sense. Prey animals, sometimes, Seryn wasn't sure they had thinking brains at times.

Still... She frowned. It was not right. Perhaps Nevaeh, Akinyi, and Nuru had decided to take down a wildebeest? She'd check it out on the way past the watering hole, to catch a quick drink before going back into the heat to find the reason why for the herds' anxiety. She began a slow, gentle lope in that direction.
