Kriegerisch stood over the spoils dropped by some traveling lions, snarling at them viciously. They weren't terribly large lions and it was clear they weren't used to fighting, so with a loud show of dominance she had been able to startle them into dropping their treasures. Now they stood around her, hesitant but still too close for her liking. Lowering her head, she focused on the smallest female - close to her in height, actually - before leaping forward. While hyenas were smaller than lions they were just as deadly, if not moreso with their superior bite strength. Not wanting to lose a limb, the lioness quickly beat a retreat, leaving her companions and the little treasure behind. Krieg turned to stare down the two remaining lions who quickly fled as well, leaving her to her treat.
She padded over to the pile of trinkets and pawed through them, her nose seeking out the strangely sweet smell somewhere at the bottom of the pile. There, under the cloth and jewelry, were a few incredibly ripe fruits. She had never had anything like this before although some of the lions that ventured out told stories of strange effects happening to others who tried fruit. It was such an intriguing smell that she couldn't help herself and bit into the warm, juicy food. It certainly didn't taste like she was used to - meat and bones had a very strong, powerful taste - but it wasn't bad.

Utako watched the events from a fair distance away, not wanting to get close enough to be involved in the quarrel. There was no fun getting involved in mortal fights, but it was always interesting to see who would win. As he watched, he raised an eyebrow when he saw the first lioness retreat, soon followed by her companions. When they passed by him he let out a low snarl, trying to stay 'in character' of a hyena.
When he decided to head back toward Nergui he knew that it wouldn't do to appear as a mortal lion. He wanted to discreetly check up on Saran and his offspring, without calling too much attention to himself. Being apart of their lives was out of the question. It would be a danger for him and them, but he couldn't help but want to make sure his lineage was in good health.
'Time to blend in,' he thought as he began to move closer to the other hyena. “You taught those lions a lesson,” he said to the hyena. His eyes glanced over her stash that the lions had dropped. There were some interesting things in there, he thought, admiring the treasure. He couldn't help but wonder where they originated from. Then he looked at the fruit and grinned, remembering watch rogues take turns eating fermented fruit. “Be careful to not eat too much of that. Heard stories about lions getting loopy after eating too much fruit.”

Krieg narrowed her eyes at the male, but not in an intimidating way. She was sizing him up to figure out if he was just trying to use sneaky tactics to steal her treasure away or if he was a potential candidate to recruit to join the Nergui. He seemed to have a similar thought process about lions as she did - don't get her wrong, some lions were worth their weight. There were just many more that didn't deserve to breathe - and any like-minded male was a potential friend of hers.
"You have no idea," she said with a low tone of voice, a smug expression settling on her features. She could brag about how she had played a vital role as a mere adolescent in the god-killing the Nergui had done a while back, but she wasn't that type of hyena. Instead she fell silent as the male continued to speak, giving her his name and asking questions of his own.
"We have settled here after migrating from our old lands," she explained, not moving just yet. "I will tell you of our pride on the condition that I get first choice of your kill. These lands are not yours to hunt in without a fee," she added, smiling a rather aggressive grin. He could take or leave her offer, but if he refused he would certainly be chased out promptly.

Well, that had been easy. Krieg's smirk changed to a grimace as she tried to think of a good hunting spot in the area. The desert held the promise of relics, but it also held little else. There was little game in the area at the moment and she didn't want to travel all the way to the main watering hole. There was one a little closer but the water was brackish and not good for drinking. There were fish there, though, and although she wasn't good at hunting the slippery things, perhaps this rogue was.
"Very well. Follow me," she said, shifting to walk in the direction of the unused pond.
"What is it you wish to know?" she added, not wanting to freely give away information regarding their pride. She would embellish any story she told, of course, making their deeds grander than they actually were. Although if pressed she would have no trouble telling him about how she had a paw in killing a goddess.
