Kali| 2 Years| Lioness| Mentions: Kahawia, Kondo, Aziza (Indirectly)

At the male's rather gruff response, the muscular lioness simply chuffed, but let him be. The arrogance of males irked her greatly, but instead of continuing with their argument, the female backed off, letting him dig into the flesh of the zebra. It wasn't until Kahawia sidled up to her, body language slightly nervous, that Kali truly became wary of the newcomers. If her cousin wasn't comfortable around them, then neither was she. However, being outwardly against their presence most likely wasn't the best idea, and her thought was only solidified when her aunt Aziza came trotting up, scolding Kali as if she were still a cub. Ears pinned back, the lioness gave the elder she-cat an apologetic glance, but responded with,
"I was only speaking my mind. If he wishes to eat, let him, but I'm at least getting in on the food." She had been told countless times that she acted as if she were a male as well, but it didn't change her slightly abrasive personality or the fact that she had a mind of her own. Heaving a sigh, she made her way to Kondo's other side, locking her sights on the juicy thigh.
"Thank you for helping us." Were the only words she offered before digging in. She supposed she'd be civil for the time being.

((Short, sorry! I'm restricted to mobile for a couple of days. Also, I apologize for the poor quality, I'm a little bit stressed out at the moment.))

Mentions: Everyone (indirectly), Mlezi

The male's jaw shut with a snap after he finished assessing the smell. He looked to Mlezi again and noted that she had clamped her tail and sat down. He hadn't really expected her to immediately be welcoming to that kind of advance anyway.

"Mlezi," he echoed. "That's a pretty name."

Sefu shot a brief glance towards the other three lionesses. An older one was sending mixed signals but the other two seemed to have calmed down and Kondo looked to be in a sharing mood today. He decided it was safe enough to expose his sensitive belly and so he rolled over onto his back. Legs were completely relaxed so that that they were folded and front paws rested on his massive chest. The top of his skull was also resting on the ground so that when he looked towards Mlezi, his view of her was upside down. He was doing his best to show her that he meant absolutely no harm to her or her kin. Though it should be noted that even though he was currently being submissive and he might not even defend himself if one of the lionesses sent a smack his way, he would certainly defend himself and his brother if all four tried to attack one of them and seriously attempt to hurt them. Two large males against four females was no contest at all, let alone add in the third brother if he decided to make his presence more known. Sefu may have been a pushover when it came to females but even he had his limits.

Sefu huffed as the queen didn't seem to respond to his words and then simply left him there, belly all expose, with barely a word to him. Well then. He rolled back onto his stomach and watched her. Somehow, her seeming non-interest in him made him all the more determined to get into her good graces. His attention turned to the conversation at hand when Aziza explained their pridacement and was just about to ask why such fine young lionesses such as themselves had not yet found males when one of the younger lionesses asked about their names.

"I am Sefu. That is Kondo," he nodded towards the big male at the zebra. "And that is Ushinidi." He looked back towards his brother who had just begun approaching only to roar. Sefu glared at him at first, thinking he was just attempting to scare the females at first, but then he heard the nervous giggles of hyenas and relaxed. He looked back towards the females. "What your names?"

The male stood and sauntered over to the head of the zebra. He plopped down and began halfheartedly chewing at the lips. Sefu wasn't hungry, and there wasn't much on the head to eat anyway, but had come over simply to make talking easier and to be closer to the females. Considering he hadn't eaten in days, he should have been hungry but his mind was preoccupied with... other things.

Jelani ✘ 3 1/2 ✘ Lioness
Mentions: The lioness', Kondo, Sefu, Ushinidi (Indirectly), Aziza

Jelani's paws would fall heavily on the Savannah, the heat stinging and biting at her frail but scarred paw pads as they scraped against the surface. Her eyes would focus straight ahead of her, her gaze watching as the poor frightened zebra foal ran a few inches ahead of her, frantically trying to escape the clutches of death that closed in on her. The other lioness' had promised a good and suitable meal for tonight, her mother and aunt leading them to a large herd of zebra that was just begging to be hunt down and feasted upon. When they had attacked though, the herd had scattered, also separating a young filly from her mother, who had been pregnant with yet another foal, but was too focused on living to notice that her precious first born had been driven away in the wrong direction, and now was being hunted down by one of the prides huntress'. Of course, there was no actual reason that Jelani wanted to kill this filly, but, if she didn't, either mother nature or some other predator would get her, and that would just be another good meal wasted. A large pink tongue would swipe across dry lips, Jelani's gaze sharpening as she closed in on the foal, and just as she got a few inches closer, sprung towards the foal, mouth grabbing hold of the filly's neck as they both tumbled to the ground, bringing up a good amount of dust. Tightening her grip on the foal's neck, Jelani closed her eye's, savoring the sweet taste of flesh. It was kinda like a game to her, but, at the same time, it wasn't, it was at first a game, but when they got farther from the group, Jelani soon got serious. The foal screamed in terror, calling out to its mother, who wasn't even near. Jelani enjoyed the sound, though, she would not allow this foal to suffer, or draw any attention towards them, so, Jelani put a bit more pressure on the foal's neck, breaking its neck and ending it without any trouble at all.

Licking her bloodstained lips, the lioness laid down on top of the carcass, happily licking away the blood that seeped out of the foal's neck before standing up, slightly satisfied with the game that she successfully caught on her own. She couldn't wait to see the look on her mothers face when she returned. Standing up, Jelani stretched, her tail flicking irritatedly as she was brought back to reality. The lioness had gone slightly far from the group, but, since she was quite heavy and had a trail of paw prints that led after the zebra foal, it would be easy to follow the tracks back to where they originally started. Sighing, Jelani lowered her head, jaws wrapping once again around the foal's neck before she began to drag the game across the ground, keeping her head slightly low, but bobbing it a bit once in a while so she could she where she was going or if she could catch a glimpse of the others.

She continued to follow the messy trail back to where she started, keeping an eye out for any danger or for her family. As she neared the end of the trail, the sound of familiar and unfamiliar voices reached Jelani's ears, causing her to stop and listen for a bit before quickening her pace, a bit of worry clouding her thoughts as she continued on, soon seeing the group, though, with 3 new lions amongst them. Stopping, Jelani dropped her game, lifting her head slowly as her eye's narrowed slightly at the sight of the 3 males amongst her family. A low growl leaving her lips as she looked from one to the next and then back to the first one. Clearing her throat slightly, Jelani lowered her head once again, bringing the prey into a tight grip between her jaws before walking forward, but a bit more tension in her muscles than when she first saw the group from afar. When she was close enough, the first lioness that Jelani looked for was her mother, who happened to be feasting on one of the zebra's that they so happened to kill without her there. Picking up her pace, Jelani was relieved to know that none of her family had been hurt by anything. Most especially these 3 rogue males. When reaching the half-eaten zebra carcass, Jelani let the carcasses head fall down, causing a thump to be heard. Lifting her head to her full height, Jelani glanced at the 3 males, then, she looked at her mother "So, what's the story with the 3 rogues? Did I happen to miss something vitally important while hunting.." Jelani said, making sure not to even glance towards the males just for safety. Even though the others had been around the males for a few moments, Jelani had just returned, and in all her years she had never trusted a male in her life, so, her reaction wouldn't be much different towards these 3 either. Cold, quiet, and unimpressed.

She nodded slightly, her eye's soon drifting towards the 3 males. Her tail flicked with curiosity and caution towards the 3 males, but, Jelani felt a bit better now that she knew that her family trusted them a bit. The lioness looked back at her mother, blinking slowly "I hope you didn't get hurt mother...I feel kinda bad for not being here when that happened....I could have protected you from them.." Jelani's ear's pinned against her skull as she looked down slightly, quite ashamed for her actions "I'm just glad these 3 came before anything bad happened to you guy's." she was relieved to know that her mother, the one who raised her since birth, was alive and healthy because of these 3, but, that didn't really change the subject about how they knew they were here. Maybe it was because of all the noise and scents they were leaving?

Standing up, Jelani turned and walked over to her game, her mouth wrapping around the neck of the dead foal before she dragged it towards her pride mates and the rogues, dropping it right next to the current feast. "If anyone is still hungry, we have another carcass, though, it won't be as satisfying as the larger carcass." Stepping away from the extra food, Jelani came to her mother's side and crouched down in front of the carcass, which she looked down at hungrily. Opening her jaws, she took a large juicy bite into the zebra carcass, savoring the sweet taste of meat in her mouth. She would ignore the males, allowing herself to feed on the carcass that HER family brought down.

Rounded digits flicked back and forth as her aunt told their story. To be honest, she'd been much too young to remember a lot of what had happened. Not that she would want to. However, her mother had been left behind to help fight off the invading male, giving her only cub up so that it would survive. That much she knew, and was extremely grateful. The sound of her name had the lioness looking up from the animal's bloodied body, her muzzle stained with its fluids, painting the light hairs around her jowls a deep red. Deep amber eyes studied the rest of her family, noting that some looked solemn at the memories Aziza's explanation had brought up. Despite what had happened in the past, the band of lionesses had managed to survive on their own for this long, and that made them strong. Kali was proud of her loved ones, especially the older queens that had cared for them after they'd been forced to flee. At her aunt's introduction of them, Kali lifted her head a bit higher, gaze locking onto the male that had approached after Kondo.
"A pleasure to meet you." She said, deciding that being polite was probably in her best interest. But they couldn't blame the group for being cautious. Many a rogue male didn't have the good intentions that these seemed to. The last and final brute caught Kali's eye. He looked to be a bit more laid-back than his kin, perhaps a tad uninterested, though she highly doubted that. Jelani's arrival with a fresh zebra foal interrupted the feast for only a moment, Aziza trotting over to greet her daughter and congratulate her on the kill.
