Hearing such a question, the Fallen Angel Of Remorse couldn’t help but sneer, gaze bearing a heavy sense of cold detachment as he stared into the distance— as if he could see something far beyond the ash and flame.. “The concept of a ‘greatest accomplishment’ is the pinnacle of naïvety, and those who depend on their accomplishments are fools.” He seemed to disdain the thought of speaking more than what was necessary, but felt his tongue become loose as it seemed to continue on it’s own. “My ‘accomplishments’ will never accumulate enough to outweigh my sins regardless of how great they may be, therefore I’ve no reason to ponder,” His gaze turned to meet yours indifferently, “—and I suggest that you don’t either.”

Saying this, Remorse closed his eyes lethargically, the corners of his lips turning up mockingly. “You really have nothing else to do but ask questions, it really is ridiculous. Don’t you have something else to do in your free time other than buzzing like a mosquito? Don’t you have any particularly interesting hobbies?”

The skinny lioness glanced over her shoulder at the small prismatic adolescent sitting next to her. "As I will be retiring soon, Heiko will be answering this question. He needs to learn how to do this." She stated, pushing him beside her with her tail. He seemed to visibly shrink smaller under the glare of the Fallen Angel.
"I- I like to sculpt clay..." He started slowly. "We have a patch of land that has wonderful clay in the ground on our land, so I like to do that in my free time" He continued, flicking his tail back and forth. He glanced nervously back at Casantos. She gave him a warm smile and a nod.

He sat down and turned to the left. "Do you have a specific base that you like?" He questioned the next leader, tilting his head quizzically.

Sublimis sat down in front of Casantos, "I like a few, Wine and shard are preferred." He glanced around the surrounding grass. He then put his focus back on Casantos then added, "I do like a few others though. That would be Ebony and soul bases." Sublimis tilted his head a bit then chuckled.

He got up and sat in front of the next king/queen and asked, "Any type of themed lioness you like?" He added, "Perhaps like a winter themed one or a dark theme?" They were suggestions and questions.

Kymani was a new king but he had seen his fair share of lionesses. He watch as Sublimis sat and asked him a question. “I like winter lionesses a lot and spring lionesses but I don’t have any in my pride.”

After answering the queen’s question he went and stood up and strode over to the next ruler. The big blue king sat down infront of them and asked “What is your favorite lethal mutant? Maybe the two headed cub? Or perhaps a cub with extra limbs?” He was quite curious about this topic.

Igneous looks up from his grooming, his green eyes flicking to the new king. His ear twitches ever so slightly at the question.
"I personally don't enjoy useless cubs, but I could learn to live with them if one of my lionesses wanted to keep one. Personally I enjoy Sirenomelia, as it survives the longest for cubs. Deaf lionesses I've seen live to adulthood, though not too often. So I suppose either works for me." He nods looking to the next king/queen, raising his head and looking down at them.

"Since the question I was asked usally invovled freezing lions, what is your thoughts on the topic?"

Thorn Stalk, a seemingly adolescent king, rocked his head ever so slightly to the side, whilst a buzzard perched on his back eyed the previous king with an almost arrogant gleam in its eyes. Thorn Stalk shook his head turning his gaze to the previous king, the buzzard taking flight and sweeping over the crowd before disappearing into the trees.

"Boring" Thorn Stalk responded to the primal. "I'd say it's quite the exciting subject, but I simply have a lack of interest for it. As a new king I don't suppose I've seen as much as some of the others here, but I'm not necessarily against, or for, the subject of matter." Thorn Stalk paused momentarily.

"I'd say I would freeze a lion, but only if he or she were most important to me, then again, why would anyone do so if not for that reason." The king finished.

Thorn Stalk looked to the next king or queen a blank expression on his face. "Is there any specific animal that symbolizes your pride? Or maybe a specific object?" The buzzard once again returning to land upon the king's shoulders.

Unholy Worship tilts her head, cloudy gaze on the buzzard. "Bones." She purrs. "Bones make up so much of my pride's culture." Worship flicks her tail over her paws. "We use prey bones as tools, as writing tablets, and as supports for our tunnels, since most of my pride live in underground dens. The bones also hold a spiritual meaning." Her cloudy gaze returns to the king. "We set the bones of our dead onto alters, and use them to summon their spirits. And my Broodmothers use small vertebrae to 'read' the future, of sorts." She turns her head, gold veil shielding her eyes.

"For you," Unholy Worship fluffs the fur around her neck. "My pride lives underground, in the forest. Where does your pride live? How are the dens separated? And how do you use your environment to fit your pride's needs?" She quickly looks the king up and down, waiting for an answer.

Orchidstar looks up and answers. "The mountains," the queen sighs, "it is where my pride has been for generations, long before I, or any of my current pride were born. We use the mountains to our advantage, we are faster climbers than any other pride and are able to move silently along the cliffs. That's what I spent my younger years doing, when I was full of life." Orchidstar looks lost in thought for a moment, then continues, "our dens are separated by caves. One is mine and my consorts'. Others are for lions of peculiar markings, mutations and of course, my adoption den. You are more than welcome to come see, if you can make it through the mountain pass." The queen smiles, rather wickedly.

Orchidstar turns to the next leader and ponders out loud, "what do you think about welcoming rogue lionesses into your pride? I believe they're called "Newly Claimed". What do you use them for?"

Afelis lay upon a grouping of large stones as he turned his gaze in the direction of the queen. "I only welcome 'rogue' lionesses into my colony, as long as they are chased of course." The young king murmured. "I'd rather not have another groups blood running through my heritage lines, and the future leaders of my colony should think the same." He paused momentarily, contemplating his next words before speaking. "Rogues are far more 'useful' than outsiders. Though, to begin with they are not 'used', they are members of the colony, taking on a certain classification and then taking care of any others in their classification, they help the colony grow; inbreeding might be an issue because of this, but that does not matter."

Afelis turned his patient gaze to the next king/queen to ask his question:

"What place do you take in this war between these poachers and the various other species around us? Do you take the softer approach, when you could tear the poachers down with ease, or are you out to spill blood, even when other options might exist?"

Cervade flexed his claws, glaring at the tan lion before him. He thought for a moment before answering the question.
"If I am able to, I will rip those poachers limb from limb." he growled, the adolescent king clearly hitting a nerve. "I hate them and everything they do in my territory." His tail lashed about, he paused before continuing. "I have met many calves and cubs that have lost their mothers and fathers to the greed of poachers. If they truly have no one else to care for them I will take them into my pride. Some of my lionesses have lost litters recently and they rather enjoy having a youngin to look after" Cervades eyes softened as he explained this, the space like cloud on his left eye shrinking slightly.

Cervade took a deep breath before turning to the next ruler in line to give them their question.
"what are your thoughts on these so called... 'hybrids'? Tiger-lions and lion-leopards? "

Orchidstar blinked slowly, thinking of her answer. The queen had rarely heard the word “hybrid”, even in her long 10 years of ruling. “I suppose they’re alright,” she muttered, “infidelity isn’t looked down upon in my pride. Often neighbouring kings will sire cubs for my lionesses.” Orchidstar paused, in thought, “in fact, I believe hybrids possess a rather enchanting appearance. I would like to have one join my pride before my time is up.”

The pink queen laid down, nodding her head towards the next ruler. “What do you think about mutations? Do you have a favourite? I know I’m quite a fan.”

Ember mane slowly starts talking: "I love all types of Piebald mutations; it is my favourite. I also like Primal mutations as it makes the specimen look indestructible." He pauses thinking of other types of mutations.
He jumps up excitedly and says: "I almost forgot about mutations like overgrown fur or manes on lioness, if that is what it is called. "He looks down to the ground in thought.
"Anyway, I don't really care much for mutations like overgrown claws or primal fangs. I do however like dwarfism, but it is on my Wishlist for later in life."
He lays back down. "I haven't really given any thought about lethal mutations actually."

Ember mane sighs and looks at the next ruler.
"How do you feel about sending your lioness to another king when she is in heat. I think it is called reverse breeding or something like that? "

Orchidstar twitches her ears, listening to a far-off sound when Embermane asks about revere breeding. The queen snaps her attention to the other leader, considering her answer. "I rarely set my lionesses up for that kind of thing," the pink queen purrs, "I prefer to keep my lionesses' cubs within my pride." Orchidstar ponders for a moment, "however, if my lioness were of a rare mutation or coat, I would consider letting others share the wealth. It's only fair. Of course, only if she is comfortable with giving up her cubs."

The queen walks a small circle and sits down, unsettled. She glances to the next leader and asks, "what is your opinion on Cotton Root Bark? Would you give up a litter in order to get a possibly fatally mutated cub?"

Afelis rocked his head to the side an understanding look in his eyes. "I personally don't mind CRB, but the lionesses of the colony decide for themselves whether they would like to try for fatal mutations or not. It's not a huge issue in my opinion. Though, I understand why some may decide against using CRB."

The adolescent king nodded; satisfied with his answer, and turned to the next king/queen.

"This might seem like a more basic question, but what, if I may ask, turns your gears? What makes you choose to continue on? And furthermore, are there any specific things you are trying to accomplish? Not to say everyone has an answer or wants to answer at that."

Orchidstar smiles at the young king's question, her eyes beginning to show the consequences of time. It had been a long time since someone asked the queen that.

"Well, Afelis, it's funny you ask. I was just thinking about that," Orchidstar murmured, almost to herself. "I suppose it would be my lionesses, their cubs, and my grand-cubs. My pride is what makes me happiest, and continuing to provide for them and rule with fairness is what keeps me going. I do miss my younger days when I could run with my adolescents and keep up with cubs for my broodmothers. If anything, I am working towards teaching my heir to rule the same way I do. I envy my younger self, as I am getting older now. Don't waste your days."

Orchidstar turns with an almost nostalgic look in her eyes, and asks the next leader, "have you ever had to let go of a favourite pride member? What happened to them?"
