[PRP][VIKING] Reaving and Something More (Azrael & Sunniva)

[ChaosTheories]

Sunniva had had a taste of the outside... and it was addicting.

She understood the thrill of the plunder, of bringing goods back to the pride and being celebrated for it... before, she had never enjoyed the attention but she found herself seeking it out, as if it was something stronger than mint running through her veins. She would enjoy visiting her aunt and her thrall whenever she came home, but she would become restless for the hunt again and seek out bands to join. Sometimes she ran into the occasional Captain that looked at her with disdain, but that was fine; she was a determined lioness and one 'no' didn't mean the end of the world.

Besides, she had proven herself already. She didn't care if not everyone thought the same.

Sunniva was restless on this reaving, however. Nothing much had happened yet, and she craved excitement. She was hoping someone or something would show up soon.

Azrael was having problems finding any good viking bands these days. The captain of his had changed, and it just wasn't the same. So he had been doing more jumping about, he was hoping his sister made captain soon so he could just go into her band. For now, he was lurking in a band that had taken out a young female Reaver, and he was spending more time watching her pretty rump than paying attention to what they were doing. He finally made his move once she was off away from the main group.

Since she looked bored, Azrael figured he would try to entertain her. "Do you want to try to find a thrall... perhaps a rabbit or something else challenging to catch?" The male Reaver had found that nonlion Thralls could be very useful and while he never thought one should abuse them, taking something lesser by force did not bother him overly. "I saw a Klipspringer a ways back if you like those... bright yellow creature." He hoped that the female would like the idea.




Said Klipspringer was minding her own business munching on a bush. Klipi had no idea there were lions around that had noticed her. She was more concerned with whether or not the bush she was munching had enough green on it to be worth while.

Sunniva smiled when Azrael approached her. She had no idea he had been watching her, so she had no reason to suspect anything but friendliness from him. And even if she had, she was still young, naive, and wouldn't have know what flirting was unless it hit her on the head like a pebble.

"A bright yellow Klipspringer?" Her ears perked. She had never caught her own thrall before! Usually she just stole from other felines before they turned tail and ran. She'd never cornered one before. Heck, she'd never really considered catching her own of another species, either. But there were some in the pride, and their smaller size meant they were easier to feed and care for, right? The idea was appealing.

"Yeah, let's try to catch it," she looked at him with a smile.

Azrael gave one of his charming grins at the lioness and wondered if maybe he should try making his own band. If HE were captain, lionesses like this would be going out on vikings all the time. He was a firm believer in the strength of females, and he also liked the idea of being surrounded by pretty lionesses. He was pretty sure if he ever did it, said strong lionesses would murder him, but it was a nice dream to have.

"Klipspringers are small pretty creatures. I am sure a lioness like yourself would enjoy having one to run messages and clean your den when you were out on vikings." Azrael could not wait to see how this lioness did trying to catch the small deer without killing it. THAT was the tricky part, catching without killing or maiming. The male motioned for the female to follow him so he could lead her to the potential Thrall.



Klipi was still munching on that same bush, finding that she really wanted something else to munch on but there was not much green around here at the moment. There were too many herds through here recently and this particular spot was pretty picked clean. If she thought she could have made it to a greener spot in a short amount of time, she wouldn't have bothered with the rather sickly looking bush, but she really had to eat before she moved on.

Sunniva felt a jolt of excitement at Azrael's charming grin. He was certainly something, and she was looking forward to working with him. "Yes, that does sound nice... Someone just to watch my den while I am gone would be useful..." She thought about the last time she had left her den unattended, which had ended in a lion 'borrowing' it for drunken activities, and it had taken a lot of effort to clean it. If she had someone else to do it for her...

She followed Azrael eagerly, keeping an eye out for any moving yellow things.

Azrael had a Thrall lioness that kept his den clean, but he tended not to make her do everything herself. He was a bit on the soft side when it came to his Thrall. Then again, he had only brought her back to the pride because she needed a home and could not defend herself out in the rogue lands. He truly was a softy. The lion thought that perhaps Sunniva would be more of a viking about her thrall instead of a big old push over. That was a good thing.

Azrael lead the lioness along and soon they found tracks in the dust that looked like what they were after, a small hooved creature. He gave another grin and crouched low to follow the tracks to their source, a klipspringer munching a half dead bush. This looked like another creature that needed help caring for itself if its food was any indication. The male rolled his eyes at his own thoughts.

Klipi was unaware of being watched by two lions as she brought a hoof up and poked at the bush with a frown. "Bush, you are not tasty and should be easier to chew." Oh dear, she was talking to her food. That had to be a bad sign, right? The bush did not look like it was anything she should not eat, so perhaps she was just getting silly from hunger. She hoped that was the reason and not poisonous food.
