Monstrell ' Youkai' Xemvoi, Lie ' Jade' YuilleThe two males had just recently joined up, coming across eachother after trying to hunt the same prey.
One of them had earned a nasty swipe to the face, Monstrell, but after their little squabble, they figured it might actually be smarter to travel together. After all, with two sets of fangs and claws, you can catch twice the prey. But as of late, they had come across a small, ragtag group of beasts, and decided they should join up. They all smelled about the same, so no doubt they were all closely related one way or another.
"So," Lie started, crossing his paws and flicking his tail idly, as they awaited anyone to make an appearance. "Do you think the leader will try and get rid of us? Since we're not one of them?" The other gray Shadowed Demon shrugged, flicking a pointed ear. "I don't know, but I don't think he'd try to stir up any trouble in his own territory. It wouldn't be very smart, since he'd be throwing away two more perfectly capable hunters and warriors."

Time to give this thread some luve<3 Just some random notes, Tachi is not part of the pride yet she has just been hanging around unseen by the pride for the most part. Tachi Sugata & Naomi Shirou
The Tygarion female yawned silently, it had been weeks since she first interacted with this small little clan of misfits. She had hidden herself far into the mountains that bud up against the main part of their territory. Tachi felt lucky that no one has really bothered to confront her about still taking shelter in Asylum, unaware of recent events that have probably been more important then a harmless no body. Whatever the reason was for these quiet weeks she had no problem keeping it so, every now and then in the middle of the night she would take any extra prey they left laying around but that was only if she had a hard time that day hunting... or if she just didn't feel like hunting. Tachi took another deep yawn as she stretched her fore limbs out before pushing herself to all four paws. Climbing around some large rocks Tachi found herself near the mountains edge next to the large roaring waterfall that poured out from the spring at the top. She only just glanced around before noticing two creatures approaching the main area of the pride, from her height they were merely blobs but she could tell they were defiantly not from here.
Quickly and quietly she made her way a bit farther down the mountain and away from the waterfall, her soft paws made it easy for her to maneuver the rocky terrain along with her long tail to keep balance. She worked her way down stopping about half way crouching between some large boulders for cover. She was still a good ways up the mountain side but close enough to get a better view of the two new males. The brown pelted one caught her attention as he spoke, there was something about that creature... she just couldn't put her paw on it. Just then another came into view, the red female from the pride. Was she really going to approach these male herself? Tachi thought on going down to help but instead she stayed low among the rocks keeping herself hidden from the two new comers waiting to see what will happen next.
Naomi was drinking from the pond near the dens when she noticed two approaching figures in the distance at first she thought it was her brother and his group but another glance showed different. Naomi's ears fell back as the two got closer, her bushy tail flicked anxiously. She usually didn't mingle with strangers but as she took a quick glance around she could she that no others were around or had noticed the pair walk in. Usually the white demon attack dog would have chased them out about now. Taking in a breath she straightened up and walked over to the two males, "Excuse me? I hope you two have a good reason to just walk in on to our lands without warning." she huffed as she stood a few feet away from them, her narrowed green orbs closely watching the two strangers for any sign of aggression.

Monstrell ' Youkai' Xemvoi, Lie ' Jade' YuilleAll of a sudden, they both smelled someone approaching at about the same time, Lie jumping to attention while Monstrell still lay there, tailtip twitching idly.
"My my, where's the fire, my dear?" He questioned, trying to keep the mood light between them. The Tygarion just rolled his eyes. "What my...Friend means to say is, we don't mean any harm." He explained quickly, rolling his eyes at the Xemvoi. "We've recently come across your territory, and we thought it might be a wise decision to try and join your ranks. If your dominant male will have us." He shrugged, and the gray one laughed.
"Yes, and if the females around here are half as fierce as you, then it was a wise decision indeed." He dipped his head to her, more-so just showing off now than anything else. The cheeky ass. "Perhaps you can help us out with our little endeavor?" He questioned, tipping his head. Lie hissed at him, offering a swipe at his ear, but the other male didn't even flinch. "You'll have to excuse him...I've been meaning to castrate him in his sleep...But he never seems to need rest!" He apologized again.
If they didn't play their cards right, then they could seriously screw themselves over here! Didn't Monstrell understand that?

Tachi Sugata Click & Naomi Shirou Click
Tachi is still carefully watching from her spot, hidden from eye sight.
Naomi raised a brow as the darker male was first to speak, she didn't think to much of it as the other started to speak as well acting almost like a translator for his friend. The brown pelted male continued on and her ears perked forward as he spoke about joining their pride, its not everyday that newcomers come by and want to join. The pride isnt much anymore, not since the old leaders left but that has been a touchy subject as of late especially with Hannibal. She isn't sure if Hannibal would even let these males join but who knows, maybe seeing the pride grow will liven things up around here. Her green eyes flicked over to the gray male as he laughed and continued on with another one of his petty comments, when the gray male dipped his head to her she was stunned. Her ears pulled back against her head as she took a small step back leaning most most of her wait on her back limbs as if she were about to sit down. She looked at the male, confused by his actions but also a little flattered. The only interactions with males was that of her own family and she wasn't used to this kind of attention. Thankfully the other male was quick to correct his friend but she doubt it would end there.
Her tail flicked behind her "I.. Uh.. It's alright." she blinked as she focused her attention to the more sensible of the two. "Though he should learn to watch himself, we are all family here-except a few stragglers." Naomi turned around looking to the large mountain that housed their dens, Hannibal was probably at the top and with recent events she was unsure if bothering him would be a good idea but he should know who is here and for what. With a sigh she looked back to the males "Alright, follow me but I must warn you. He may not be in the best of moods." With that she started heading closer into the main part of the territory, "Oh I don't think I got your names? I'm Naomi." She asked as they walked until they got near a large slab of rock that has been dubbed the Throne. she waited for the two males before turning to face the large mountain of dens, she roared hoping to grab Hannibal's attention.

Hannibal
The responsibility had mixed thickly with grief, it sat like a heavy boulder on his chest, stung at his eyes and stabbed at his heart. Everything was a mess within his head, since the news Hannibal had once again slipped away into a solitude life style, not bothering with the pride. At this point he could care less what was to happen, it all seemed disappointingly pointless to want to lead, to have Stygian under his reign. Hannibal had been near tempted to just pawn the job off on Yasha and disappear back into the wilderness, though something did pull at him to stick around.
As the day dragged on Hannibal had simply stayed upon the tower of dens, lurking within his den pawing at bones that were well decayed and old with time. The male was trying to figure out a base of action, what to do to get things moving along. There was no way he could get old members to return, they all had their lives now and made their decisions, so finding new members or recruiting was defiantly going to be work in it's own. The thought alone made him huff, even thinking of all the work hurt his head.
Pacing around he had caught sight of the moving figures in the distance, spotting Naomi easily enough, the other two however were new all together. A frown brought his brow together, curious yet already irritated, who the hell could have wandered out here? He stood a moment, waiting until Naomi was close enough to roar and Hannibal sighed deeply, ears twitching back. Of course he would be needed. Kicking at a bone he sent it skipping over the edge to bounce off each edge to the bottom, he followed soon after taking easy leaps down until he reached the grass below.
"This better be worth my time," he said a slight growl in his throat, he wasn't angry at Naomi for bothering him, just being bothered in general. Looking from cousin to the two strangers he snorted looking them over with gold eyes. "What do you want?" It was blunt, he wanted this over with, besides not being in the mood, he was stressed out.

Monstrell ' Youkai' Xemvoi, Lie ' Jade' YuilleThe both of them gave eachother an odd look. He...Might not be in the best of moods...?
Did something happen recently?
"Ah...O-On second thought, Naomi, perhaps now isn't the best...Time..." The Tygarion trailed off, when Monstrell shouldered past him and let himself stride easily alongside the female. "Nonsense!" He scoffed. "What's gotten into you all of a sudden? Have you turned chicken on me? This was your idea, after all~" He teased, glancing back at him over his shoulder. "Well...Yes, but I mean..." The Shadowed-Demon wasn't listening anymore, letting his attention turn back to their escort.
"Anyways, my dear Naomi. That's a lovely name, and pardon us for not being more civilized and introducing ourselves. I am Monstrell Xemvoi, and my less-than-eager acquaintance over there is Lie." He shrugged, as the three of them approached what was apparently the center of camp and she let out a brutal call for her leader. He wasn't exactly quick to answer, and didn't seem keen on being social, and the two males took a few moments to inspect him. He seemed a little on the young side to be trying to lead a pride, but his size betrayed his age. He was already fairly large, and no doubt once he was fully mature, he would give even Monstrell a run for his money.
"Greetings, highness." Lie stepped forward this time, dipping his head, then gestured for Naomi to explain things to him.

Naomi shifted as Hannibal made his way towards them, she could tell by his body language that he was a bit annoyed which was confirmed with the growl in his words. the red female simply just sat as Lie came up first and bowed to Hannibal which caused her to raise her brow, she would have sat there in silence while Hannibal handled his duty of leader but since no one else was speaking up to introduce themselves properly. Naomi cleared her throat to check Hannibal's attention away from the two males he was no doubt checking over. "This is Lie, and his friend over there is Monstrell." she said pointing to each of them. "They want to speak to you about joining our pride." she finished, wrapping her long tail around her paws where she sat. If Hannibal had any questions they of course would have to be answered by the two males themself.

Hannibal
A gruff cough cleared his throat, raising his head high he kept looking over them carefully, he didn't care much for being called Highness, it made him sound pompous. Hannibal hadn't been in range when Monstrell had made some comments to Naomi, though he did catch how the male had been looking at her, his cousin. It was irritating, not that he would have much to say on who Naomi flirted with, but he would having something to say about it being a complete strangers.
"Thanks Naomi," he said nodding to her, thanking her for her patience, he knew he wasn't the best leader specially with all the news he had to deal with currently. With his eyes back on the boys he frowned again, took a breath and tried to stay level. "It's Hannibal, or Lord if you need to call me anything," he stated, tail twitching behind him and eyes narrowed. "You want to join, but when I asked you who you were, my cousin had to introduce you both. Why would I want males who need a female to speak for them in my pride?"
He wasn't being sexist, just stating a point, Hannibal had no time for pathetic creatures that needed others to speak for them. "You both have five minutes each to state why you both would be great assists to the pride and what you can bring to it. Go."

Monstrell ' Youkai' Xemvoi, Lie ' Jade' Yuille"Hannibal, right." Lie corrected.
Then, like a game of tag, Monstrell was the one to speak again. "We didn't mean anything by it, just that..." It took him mere seconds to find the words. "We figured it would be best for someone already in the pride, someone familiar and close to you, to explain things." He shrugged idly. "After all, you have to be wary of strangers."
He had to speak carefully. He didn't want to turn this thing on it's head and make them look like they were being threatening or hostile.
Lie stepped forward once more. "Naomi was kind enough to show us the way after we told her our intentions, so we figured we could play to our strengths with her as a sort of...Spokesperson?"
That was the best he could come up with on the spot like that. They were being put to the test, and he wasn't exactly the best at this. "Lord, I am a Shadowed-Demon, able to manipulate the darkness, as it were, use the shadows to my advantage and even whisper madness into the minds of the enemies." Of course, he couldn't exactly demonstrate on this Hannibal, now could he? This 'whisper' he spoke of was the strange telepathic powers every purebred Demon possessed, something that was honed and perfected overtime.
The Tygarion was still slower to speak, but no special hidden abilities or talents immediately came to mind. "I don't have anything like that, but I tracked a bull elk for three days straight, no food or water, before I ran into him. I brought it down myself, even so low on energy like that, but that's when I ran into him." He flicked the tip of his rusty tail at the gray one. "We fought over it, and surprising enough, he lost. I let him have half though, considering he gave me a run for my money to have it for himself."

Hannibal
At least the two were good listeners, he would give them that as he listened to their spill of words. Hannibal wanted to know why, what could have possessed them to join his pride. It filled him with warm hope, word was getting out and in due time there could be more members, a healthy future. Hannibal gave a look at his cousin who had brought them further into the territory, he wondered how Deimus would have handled such a request like this.
"You both seem suited enough," he spoke up after a moment, sizing up both males, two more, they would need some females around here, just keep things level, poor Naomi was gonna end up hiding in the mountains with all the testosterone. "You two are welcomed into our numbers, which are little but you two show as proof that we could be growing."
Turning his head he had a thoughtful look on his face. "Hey Naomi? Have you seen that female lingering around recently? The one who decided to stick around and annoy Yasha and myself?.... I'm thinking we draw her out and get down to business."
Looking towards the mountains, where he could swear on occasion he had spotted movement in the rocks, nostrils flaring he turned to the new guys. "We have a guest who has out stayed her welcome, I'd like you two to prove your tracking and determination as well as taking orders. Flush her out for me." Hannibal had wanted to go seek her out himself, but this would be killing two birds with one stone, he would see how fast the two boys could be, and would find out if this female was actually worth keeping around.

Tachi Sugata Click & Naomi Shirou Click
Naomi gave Hannibal a nod back when he thanked her, with a sighing huff she stretched her limbs to the ground before completely laying on her stomach making herself comfortable while Hannibal explained things to the two males. She kept her eyes away from Monstrell, the whole flirting thing wasn't for her and if was making any weird gestures at her like before she didn't want to see it. Instead she looked to her cousin, ears folded back giving him a look when he mentioned having a female speak for them. Naomi wasn't mad though because Hannibal was right, why should she have to speak up for them when they are fully capable of speaking. She kept quiet while the males spoke to Hannibal, it wasn't her place to decided if they stayed or not she just showed them who to talk to thats all.
Her tail flicked when Hannibal accepted the two and he turned his attention back to her, questioning about the female that had randomly shown up one day. "Not recently no, last I saw she headed threw the mountains. I thought she had moved on to pester someone else." she shrugged. Naomi glanced over at the two males as Hannibal instructed them to go search for her, I guess there is no harm in checking the place out to make sure she did leave and if she didn't, well then they would find out.
Tachi had quickly followed the group of three when they were on the move, still taking cover far in the mountains so not to be spotted. She didn't dare move down from her hiding spot especially when the leader made his way out of hiding. Great the one she was keeping away from was now back to roaming around, she let a soft growl rumble in her throat unable to hear anything that the group was talking about. She took a chance to peer out from her hiding spot to look down at the group just as Hannibal turned to look up at the mountain side, quickly ducking back before he could notice or so she hoped. Unsure of what was going on but something just didn't feel right so instead of sticking around to find out Tachi carefully backed away using the large rocks the stick on the mountain side as cover, she turned and headed farther up the mountain towards the caves. Probably causing a few small rocks and pebbles to come loose and roll along the rocky mountain as she climbed.

Monstrell ' Youkai' Xemvoi, Lie ' Jade' YuilleThey both nodded, Lie's whiskers practically quivering in relief.
The first step had been made, a paw in the den so to speak, and now they just needed to...Go bring a stray female back for him...? That was certainly the odd first test, but whatever he thought was best, then they'd do it without question. Monstrell nearly laughed, but choked on the sound just as quick as it tried to escape. They just looked at echother, eventually giving a shrug and a half-nod of agreement. "Alright, we will go fetch her for you as quick as we can."
Obviously, he wanted her alive, so there was no need to waste time asking.
Standing, he swatted the Catamount across the shoulder with the tip of his tail as he walked past, nostrils flared and ears erect, a paw left half-extended in the air. The younger, smaller bronze male did the same, but instead just looked back over his shoulder as he opened his senses. The mountains were back over that way, so that would be the best starting point for this little game of cat and mouse, once they caught a scent --
Instead, moments later, there was the faintest scrabbling of rocks, possibly stirred by nothing more than a stray goat or some other prey animal, save for the sharp smell of predator that came along with it.
That was probably her.
"We'll be back shortly." Was all Jade said, at once the both of them on the move.

Hannibal
Hannibal breathed a heavy sigh before lowering himself down to lay in the grass, if Naomi stuck around he would welcome the company, but she was free to go back to doing whatever she was doing. "Let's see if they find her,"he said with amusement, crossing his paws and yawning followed by shaking his crimson mane from his eyes. "Want to bet on who comes back bleeding first?"
He joked of course, sort of, Hannibal hoped no one came back bloodied, he really needed some new members, fresh blood in the pride, there was a lot of work that needed to be done. For their little mountain guest he was hoping she would come down so he could confront her. If she refused, well he would have no choice but to go up there himself.

Tachi Sugata Click & Naomi Shirou Click
Naomi rolled over on her side as she watch the two head off towards the mountains. She almost felt sorry for the girl having two males to track her down, Naomi wouldn't want to be in her paws having to deal with that. Her tail flicked lazily as Hannibal spoke of taking bets, she laughed quietly "Now thats not very nice Hannibal." she said jokingly before giving him a nudge with her paw. A sly grin pulled on her maw "I bet you a hare that Monstrell comes back first." This was all just playful banter, she really didn't want any of them to get hurt but she remembered the first time the gray female showed up and she wasn't exactly the nice and understanding type.
Well so much for peace, she could already hear them climbing up as their claws scrape against the rocks. A low growl formed in her throat, how dare he send these fools and not have the decency to come up himself! No matter, she won't make this easy for her two visitors. Tachi's ears twitched listening and quickly made her way into a near by cave keeping out of sight as she squeezed her way as far back as she could fit. This was one of many cave she had found while living up here and she knew of many others, this one though had a secret exit that would be harder for large males to get to. Tachi made sure to spread her scent around in the cave as much as possible by rubbing her body along the walls wanted them to think she was in the cave but instead of sticking around she would make her way threw the narrow tunnel that led out behind some large boulders. There she will wait, her baited cave was still in her view while she crouched among the rocks and debris. Tachi will wait till she found an opening, hoping one would be brave enough to enter the cave.

Monstrell ' Youkai' Xemvoi, Lie ' Jade' YuilleThe males were seemingly hot on her trail, a thick, almost painfully obvious scent pointing the way for them, leading to a strange few chains of caves. "Wait..." Monstrell rumbled quietly, Lie jerking to a halt behind him before they tripped head over tails on eachother.
The younger male grumbled low in complaint, glancing over his shoulder to see what was the hold up. "Come on -- We have to hurry up and find her. Get moving!" He nearly growled, and the Shadowed Demon snorted, rolling his eyes and shaking his head. "I said wait...Something's not right. Can't you feel it?" He ordered, and the Tygarion huffed, but did as told, eyes narrowed and looking around, taking another quick scent of the surrounding area.
"--You're right." Satisfied with that, he jerked his chin towards one of the cave openings, that same thick scent wafting through. Sure, it was her, but like they had both decided, something was off this time, now that they were here, even if they couldn't quite figure it out just yet. "I'll go in first. You follow behind and watch my tail." Letting his head just barely poke through, checking the immediate area before him in the narrow pathway, he finally let himself squeeze through, Lie going in right after him.
So far so good, but that could all change by the time they found the exit of this horrid little cramped space.
