Sitting lazily on a low hanging Tree branch, Pavak Nrip watched over his pride. As he watched he grew bored and shifted so he was on his back. He peaked at the dens and the sleeping lions inside, then turned his attention to the rising sun. Rolling slowly off of his branch he flopped carelessly to the ground.

Labyrinth carefully tugged her tongue over Nymphs ragged pelt. A restless night brought forth tangled furs. The young lioness squirmed under her when she caught the knot. Their sleep, had been not so peaceful. Nymph had joined Labyrinth in the middle of the night. From there it had been uneasy turns and hopeless grunts.
"If you wish to look half decent, sit still." Labyrinth released her growl when she pulled away spitting out the knot that now hung from her chin.
Nymph looked over her shoulder and a look of anguish spread quickly across her features. "I'll look half Bald if you continue like that!" Her voice was nearly a howl causing Labyrinth to swipe a large paw over her face releasin the dangling tuft.
Before she could reach for Nymph the young lion leapt to four paws and swept outside. Her tail flicked in mere annoyance without casting a second glance at her sister. She could groom herself. She flopped down into the early dusk light and swiped her tongue across her jaws.

Pavak watched from the ground as the young lioness passed him. He slowly and quietly stood up, trying not to be noticed. Once he regained his feet he shook the dust from his mane and sat. Sniffing in the direction of the den he watched as a familiar form moved inside. Samira, his training buddy from youth stirred in her sleep complaining of noise. The dark lioness stood up slowly and carefully picked her way around the other lions. Samira nodded sharply at pavak as she passed.

It is kind of silent..)
Labyrinth carefully slid outside after Samira, she barely casted a glance at Pavak. It was too early for any long conversations. She knew hunting still needed to be done, maybe it could hold off just a few more minutes. She joined Nymph sitting herself about a foot away. The lion was carefully picking through her pelt, deciding not to speak a word.
"You should work on your hunting techniques. Last time I checked you were quite sloppy." Labyrinth murmured. Nymph slipped her a sideways glare tugging her ears back. The adolescent knew she was terrible at stalking. Maybe she didn't know, where and what to strike, that didn't make her necessarily, sloppy. Labyrinth said no more, she only stretched out and settled into a laying position. A few more moments of needed rest and maybe a hunting party would be arranged.

I just sent the other players a message so hopefully they will join in.)
Samira chucked silently to herself. Jumping up, she raked her claws on a nearby tree letting out a yawn and chasing away the last bits of sleep from her eyes. “Hunt at sun high?” Samira asked the other lionesses, letting herself back onto the ground. Her black coat shimmered in the early light, giving her a silvery hue.

Pavak turned and stepped into the den to wake the rest of the small pride.

bear laid diligently on the outskirts of the pride huddle, resting a few tail-lengths away from the others. the coffee-colored giant's head was raised high, watchful eyes scanning the vicinity for signs of potential enemies. he turned his crown to peer over his shoulder behind him at his pride, ears flickering as he took note that they were mostly awakening.

“Hey!” Pavak barked into the den, his voice was kind but carried a demanding tone, “rise and shine! The sun has risen, and we need to organize a patrol.” Pavak knew that the young pride would need to strengthen the territory’s borders to keep rival prides and hyena clans at bay. Once his eyes adjusted to the dim of the den he noticed two of the prides lions awake . “Apollo, bear.” The king nodded at the two lions, both larger than himself, in greeting before he turned tail and stepped back outside. He sniffed the air, same as yesterday.

((I’m debating on adding a second pride))

bear dipped his head in respect as his king addressed him, though remained silent. the giant was not one to speak much. he pushed himself up from the tall savanna grass, returning to the center of the pride in pursuit of the leader, having heard him announce his desires for a patrol. bear was more than willing, his main priority being the safety of his pride, his family.

Hmmm... I’ll think about adding an advisor role, thank you for you suggestion ^~^))

Pleased to see the lions readiness to protect Pavak smiled at the two,”please just call me Pavak.” He spoke genuine words, because although he was raised with a decent rank, he felt no more special than the average lion. “Good to see we have an early riser, just don’t loose to much sleep.” Pavak spoke with a smile then turned to face samira and the other lionesses, “we are heading out on patrol and will be back before sun high. Labyrinth, you’re in charge until we return.” And with that he began to walk to the East half of the territory, where old hyena scents linger.

Imp yawned and stretched as she woke up. She noticed other lion's leaving the den and so she did as well. She shook out the dust from her fur and blinked away the sleep. Her muscles boiled with impatience and so she forced herself to remain calm. She noticed Pavak leaving and tilted her head as she watched him leave before looking over towards the other lionesses. "Morning!" She chirped cheerfully, trying to stamp down the need to run about like an untamed cub.

bear's eyes raked over the other subordinate, assessing the male without expression. his paws moved him onwards, trailing after the king who called himself pavak. his tail lashed as he came to a stop, ears flickering at the sound of a she-lion's voice. his head dipped in greeting of his fellow pridemate. his gaze wandered to her form, analyzing silently as she requested to join them.
