Well, Agni-pariksha was down a daughter and now in a bad mood leading up to the departure of the foray. There was only one thing on her mind now when she should have been handling last minute details of the outing with the Magistrates who were leading the group, so she was ignoring her responsibility to her pride and was focusing on her responsibility to her family. Turiya had given her some insight on gaps that she had left in raising her daughters, she could find Bahudama and Katranak later but it was very important that she speak to Atyadhik before she left and tried to pull any of the same s**t that her sister did.
Honestly, Atyadhik would have been Agni's first guess at a problem child for something like this. That Turiya jumped right ahead was a concern.
She spotted her daughter in the crowd getting ready to leave the desert, marched right up and pulled Atyadhik from the crowd so they could speak privately. At least for now, they had that luxury. But she didn't speak immediately, even after the very unsubtle removal of her daughter from earshot of the others. Her first move, instead, was to give her daughter a good, hard look up and down. |

Atyadhik was, well, antsy for lack of a better term. Some kind of mix of excited and--while she'd never admit it--nervous. This would be her first time going further beyond their lands than the outpost, and investigating the Nergui too! All anyone ever seemed to pay attention to was her sire, and she herself was often focused on proving herself very much Firekin, but her heritage was Hongshan too. She definitely wanted to find out more about the lions that had forced her ancestors to flee here. Maybe she'd get a chance to remind them that their enemies were still very much alive. A real fight, not just sparring!
All of that quickly took a back seat in her mind as the Regent--her mother--marched up and pulled her away from the others. What the hell was going on? She didn't get much of a chance to speak until they were out of earshot. By then, she'd noticed that she was being given a Look. She wasn't sure what the Look meant, but it didn't seem far off from the kind of Look she got when she was in trouble. But...she hadn't done anything. She thought. So what gives?
"Why the hell are you looking at me like that, Mom?" |

Agni's expression didn't change as Atya said exactly what she was thinking, what no doubt everybody would be thinking when word made it around the pride. That was the reason she had to be so "harsh" about this, there would be traditionalists who would condemn the whole practice based on one foolish lioness mimicking the Regent in the worst way.
"That's exactly what I'm saying," she said, not bothering to address the attempted insults, "Umkhombo may be big and strong, and he may fight to keep control of his pride every day, but he could not ever be a Firekin. And that is a big ******** deal, whatever Turiya thinks."
Whatever you think, she added mentally, narrowing her eyes.
"I will deal with Turiya later, I'm here now to make sure you don't have it in your fool head to pull something like that too just because of how I got you brats into this world."
