Severus 'Sherlock Alkaev'
A simple doe took it's stroll around the Veltlands, and unbeknownst to it, someone else was stalking it. Not a sound was made, and the demonic liger clearly took his time, and not even a breath was heard from him. And, as he slithered through the grass, his dark pelt giving him the advantage, he sprang, when the doe least expected it. A bite to the throat took it down with a quiet thump. Severus stood over it, blood on his maw and he licked his lips, savouring the salty taste of crimson. He then grasped it by it's throat and dragged it over, not being strong enough to carry it by himself, but the good part was, Severus was learning quickly. He narrowed his eyes, he said nothing, didn't even utter a whisper; The apprentice dropped it where the fresh kills were piled up. He then took his time to lay in the den area and relax, his eyes calm, relaxed. He just scanned the Veldt for any signs of approachers. He wouldn't have minded some company.. as long as they weren't troublesome.

ISAER
The young male's development had been slow. Not that he was troubled in the head. He just enjoyed his youth and made sure that was clear; but youth could be cruel and unreasonable. So far his life presented him many mental challenges. Though few were actually physical. Play was normal for a lad his age. Isaer was strong minded and physically healthy; just more playful than some of his other siblings.
More than often his actions were incredibly juvenile. Following and admiring his brother, Romulus, and rarely questioning the logic behind what his brother would say, suggest, or do. It wasn't unusual behavior. Favorites among family is a thing, contrary to popular belief, and Isaer often made it clear which sibling had his vote. And which didn't. Which would mean unfortunate news for Severus. Poor kid - learning all he could to be a talented and useful member of Jaaku, and yet his siblings still more than often treated him like dirt.
Isaer felt conflicted, usually when he was alone. With his idol brother around, nothing was questionable, and Isaer acted in such a way you'd think it natural, even when no one was looking. But the mask falls when you're alone.
The dens were not a place of loneliness.
"Oh Severus." He greeted, tone dripping with amusement. "What're you up to?"

Severus rose his head to notice his other sibling, how obnoxious. He dipped his head, "Just caught a doe, laying down to rest." he murmured, "What're you up to, anyway?" he said simply.

ISAER
He smirked slyly. "A doe, really?" Isaer strolled forward with a snort. "I really doubt YOU could catch a doe. I bet you got help." There was a moment sparred as he glanced away. Then his attention snapped back to his brother with a grin.

Severus shook his head, "No, seriously." he said before he picked up the doe he had caught and dropped it in front of Isaer's paws, "Do you smell any other scents?" he said, tilting his head. "Believe it or not, it's true. I'm not intending to dominate anyone else, just being myself. Don't you worry." he said, his gaze hardened to frown.

ISAER
There was a great deal of faked skepticism in Isaer's eyes as he looked at the doe that Severus presented to him. He scrunched up his nose and looked at his brother as if he were the enemy. "You're a liar. I bet you found it dead then, fresh and dead, and you just gave it marks to pretend you caught something." Despite Severus's attempt at being kind and submissive, Isaer wanted to make a point - one clearly already made. This was just flat out bullying, really.
"Sev's a liaaaaaaar!" He shouted loudly, tail lashing out as he threw the accusation.

Severus rolled his eyes, and he wrinkled his nose, "You're just saying that because you want to take me down and prove yourself higher than everybody else, except Romulus." he said, raising his eyebrows. "I know I did it by myself without achievements. How can you judge when you didn't see it, or hear it? Nothing you say or do will bring me down." he snorted in contempt, whipping around and an air around him showed that he was deeply irritated. And when Severus was irritated, he could be pushed over the edge and really snap, but not as dangerous as Remus or Romulus. He just didn't care anymore, on what his siblings, or anyone else thought of him. "If you want to get popular, if this is your intentions.. heed this, brother. If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think." he said, turning his back on him and walking away. "Various people told me I was a failure.. and other displeasing things.. I'll prove them wrong someday." he said coldly, walking away from everything else. He would stand alone for now, and if Isaer dared to say something like that again, he would just ignore him.

ISAER
"Exactly!" Most of what Severus said, at first, went in one ear and out the other. It would take a few moments for Isaer to acknowledge the rest of what had been said. "You just said it yourself - I didn't see you catch the doe - who did? Who will prove you caught it? You're a liar. I don't need to prove myself, but you!" Isaer laughed and shook his head. Pushing the limits this time around was his every intention. And more. "You lied about catching a doe because you feel the need to prove yourself! Dirty little liaaaar." Isaer bounced back and the other words began to come to him, the ones he'd nearly drowned out in his own whirlwind of misbehavior.
He prepared to say something, then Severus had begun to walk off - away from Isaer. Isaer turned his head to the sky and snorted. "See? You're just a cub who needs attention, and you lie to get it, and now that you've been caught, you're gonna walk away like a stubborn baby!" Isaer let out another roll of laughter, snorting loudly and tossing his head as he mocked his brother in a most cruel way.

Severus froze in his tracks, and his gaze snapped towards Isaer, his gaze burning a deep and cold fire, "I don't need to listen to you. Who gave you the right to order everybody else around like you're an entity? You're the one that wants attention, shouting everything else around." he said, narrowing his eyes, "Better to walk away than to talk to a attention-seeker like you. I'm already trash, so I'm just an existence.. I'd rather stand around and prove myself, be it lies or not, than to fall to the ground, living for nothing." he hissed, glaring before he walked away again, his eyes now flaring, he wasn't in the mood, he never was. A miserable soul was all that he was, he was just an existence, "I wish I was never born into this hellhole." he murmured the last part.

ISAER
Isaer snorted with great amusement. "As if. Listen to you. What a cub. You'll never grow up, Severus. You'll be known forever as Severus the liar. Severus the incapable." He rolled his eyes and stood tall where he had been for the past several moments. "Yeah, walk off, go accomplish nothing with yourself!" But Severus still, in a way, had the upper hand. Isaer frowned thoughtfully. He had come to Severus with every intention of getting his brother in trouble. More than likely, Isaer would be the one in trouble.
Without much thought, he bit deep into his paw, let out a wail, and then leaped at Severus. He attempted to his his bloodied paw near his brother's face while crying out. "HELP! SEVERUS HURT ME!"

Isaer's blood smeared across Severus's face, and his expression was covered, but he just looked at Isaer with a look full of endless hatred, and he licked the blood off of his cheek, with a sadistic look, "At least i'm not the one who make sure to bring other clanmates down. Remember, arguments can break the clan into pieces in time. If you want to improve yourself, then stop whining and improve yourself. I remember Lady Odysseia saying 'You act like children, you get treated like one.' You're the cub here. But then again, we all make foolish mistakes." he said, his voice and tone full with venomous hatred, coldness, and a new tone he had never used before.

Orion & Kairos
Both had been sitting side by side, grooming one another, when Isaer's shout crossed their ears. Both lurched to their paws and darted forward just in time to see Severus standing there and Isaer crying. "What on earth is going on here?!" Logic kicked in within Orion's mind though. Severus' pose wasn't one of attacking.

ISAER
Isaer scowled at Severus. Then someone else arrived, two someone's! Orion and Kairos. Isaer pouted and let out a whine as he turned to face them, nodding to his paw. "Severus did this to me! I asked him if I could help him hunt tomorrow, and he told me no. He said he didn't even catch the doe, he stole it, and I said I was gonna tell - and he bit me!" Isaer wailed out, holding his hurt paw in the air as he tossed accusations around.

Rachel was hopping about, followed by Jackson, who looked quite weary from her ceaseless babble. His head lifted as she stopped briefly. She flicked her tail at him with a coy grin. "I'll handle this. Why don't you fetch my mother? Or something."
Jackson snorted. "Or something," he stated before walking off.
"What are you two idiots doing?" she chuckled, shaking her head before he saw the blood on Isaer. Golden eyes landed on Severus and she walked up to him, bristling. "No one is to harm their family. That is unacceptable!" she shouted. She had flash backs to the day Adam had died.

Severus bristled, taking it all in, before he said calmly, better now than never, "Why would I harm my siblings? Sure, I may have been grumpy towards you and most others, but that doesn't mean I'd ever harm my siblings, anyone for that matter. Give me a good reason as to why I'd do such a thing. I'm a loyal member, and there's no way I'd attack another member. I KNOW better than that, it's been drilled into my head by Master Sevastyn, and as well as father and mother, and the others residing in the Veldt, from Meurtrier to Jaaku." he said firmly, looking to Isaer, then back to the others, "You want the story? I'll give you the story, whether you believe and want it or not," he said, taking a deep breath,
"I went and hunted down a doe by myself,--up to you whether or not you believe it--, and Isaer came up to me, looking as if he was playful or something, he asked me what I was doing. I told him what I did, and that I was relaxing after I put the doe down in the fresh kill pile then he mocked me, saying that I would never be able to take it down by myself, and he denied what I said was the truth, which is fine. I never said he would have to believe me. Then, he suddenly looked at me like I was the enemy and told me I was a liar, and that I was a cub, throwing accusations, probably wanting to make himself have a point. I said that he just said that because he wanted to take me down and prove he was better than me, or just to make himself popular, he denied it. Then he started shouting, saying that I was a liar all over again. Then, when I had enough, I walked away, ignoring him, knowing that arguing would do no good to the both of us. After that, he called to me, saying that I was a cub again. I just kept denying and ignoring it. And, he said the same words again, he kept laughing at me. I tried to tell him to stop. He told me that I would always be known as 'Severus the liar', 'Severus the incapable', then telling me that I would just walk away, not accomplishing anything. I walked away again, then he literally pounced on me, bit his own paw deeply to make it bleed, and leaped at me, smearing it on my face. I told him to learn to grow up, and that's when all this ruckus started going on. I've been treated like dirt almost my whole life from some of my siblings, and I believe this is all but unwanted childsplay. We're in a middle of a war here! Do you really think I'll be that diabolical, that insane to attack my own sibling without reason? What benefit would I get out of it? Nothing but trouble. I'd NEVER attack my clanmates I'm not a liar, Rachel, and I never go back on my words, you should know this by now." he paused his gaze serious, before saying this,
"Take a good look at his paw before you judge. This is nothing but absolute childishness, a scene that shouldn't be created in the first place. I'm sick and tired of all the drama going on here, and I want it to stop, i'm sure everybody else wants it to stop too. I'm not an idiot, i'm not trash, and i'm not a traitor to my family. All these pointless arguments will just shatter the clan into pieces, little by little, and this is not the time for arguments, especially in times of war. Do I look like I'd attack Isaer, anyone else? Honestly, I don't even know why i'm here in the first place, for a problem I didn't commit.. or am I to be blamed like usual? Tell me, right to my face. I'd rather the truth than lies behind my back." he concluded, looking his sister in the eyes.
If they still didn't believe him, there was a damned problem in this hellhole. If they denied him, there was no doubt that the boy would grow even more distant than he already was. He would just go and rant to Master Sevastyn. To him, Sevastyn was a father figure to him, and a role model. He still held respect for his parents, but they were too busy to tend to him, doing their own duties, in his eyes. Sev didn't want to pressure them anymore than they already were pressured.
