 ZUNDE[/size] Every step the male took only brought up more ash and soot into the air, it wasn't unbearable though just a mild annoyance as he was unused to the stale air that surrounded the volcano.
In hindsight had anyone told him there was a group of felines living out here he would have beat them down at just the thought of such a outlandish idea. Zunde knew this territory had all but been abandoned once Meutrier had reclaimed there all to cushy pile of dirt they call home now. But the large male was now here to sate his own curiosity, a few days ago he had been near this area and had caught the scent of many different creatures somewhere in this vicinity, but the scent had soon vanished into the thick musk of the volcano disabling him to track it's exact location.
Venturing ever closer he caught the glimpse of water in the distance. A hot spring. Whether or not a pride or clan was living here he would soon find out.

SLAUGHTER
[/i] He muttered and began to head toward the border. Despite having what must have been the most outstanding fur color in the whole of the ashlands, bright yellow, it was dirtied by the ash. Though he still probably stood out like a really sore thumb. "You're about to enter La Morte territory. State your business." Slaughter said clearly through the ash and soot that air seemed to be thinly filled with. [/ul][/blockquote] |

ZUNDE [/size] Cautiously walking ever nearer to the spring, his eyes squinting as he adjusts to the dark atmosphere that seemed to get thicker and thicker the more he ventured forth. Zunde was Honestly about to give up on his curiosity and head back to some cleaner air. If it hadn't been for the yellow figure suddenly caught at the corner of his vision that seemed to be looming closer.
Instinctively taking a defensive position Zunde listened to this lions words.'La Morte'. The name sounded familiar but it took the large male a few seconds to fully register never taking his eyes of the other male. He had heard a few moons ago about this Meutrier Splinter-group who defied and despised everything Meurtrier did. Interesting.
"I will cause you no harm"he states flatly loosening his stance, a small idea or rather a plan had formed in his mind.
"I am only here because I would like to join La Morte's ranks"A pride that hates Meurtrier is more than likely to share other common interests. Besides Zunde was becoming tired of living as a rogue, there was less action to it then he had initially expected.

SLAUGHTER
[/i] Slaught' said and nodded to the space in front of him so that Zunde could be 'herded' back to the pride, where Reno and Najsi were likely relaxing.[/ul][/blockquote] |

ZUNDE [/size] Zunde was beginning to get the impression that this yellow male was bored, whatever the case being Zunde's bottom lip twitched in annoyance as the other male was clearly trying his hardest not to laugh.No matterhe thought I'll drop this polite act once I'm inside, until then I'll just grin and bear it.
Zunde took his place in front of the yellow male not very fond of being herded anywhere, luckily he had the patience for the time being to put up with this as he began walking in the direction he was being lead to.
He was silent through the rest of the way taking in the scenery,recalling the names the other male had said. Reno. Najisi. These were the apparent dominants of La Morte. Zunde hope they were at least more tolerable then this male.

SLAUGHTER & RENO
[/i] Reno nodded to Slaughter and then looked to Zunde. Something about this male seemed familiar. Though he did not voice this. "I'm sure he can speak for himself. Back to patrolling, please, Slaughter." He said in dismissal of the warrior. His gaze fell again on the dark stranger. "If what Slaughter has said is true, then you will need to tell us a bit about yourself before you may join."[/ul][/blockquote] |

ZUNDE [/size] As he was lead closer inside the territory he couldn't help but feel watched. Not surprising he was trespassing after all, as he looked around carefully a large figure glided down from where he had been perched. There was an air to this male which literally screamed 'I'm in charge here'. Zunde guessed this was the dominant male called Reno.
It was oh so very tempting to sneer at the yellow male called Slaughter as he walked back to his post but Zunde held back his gaze with Reno, in which he nodded his greeting before speaking.
"My name is Zunde, I was formerly part of Meurtrier till I voluntarily left many moons ago. I have been a rouge ever since."He was not used to speaking about himself to others as for the majority of his life, his real existence was always kept secret for his own safety and for his real mothers.So speaking so truthfully like this made him slightly uncomfortable, plus he wasn't about to drop the ball about who his actual father was. Not without knowing that declaring he was his son was not setting himself up to be a target.
"My real mother was forcefully turned into a slave by that pride, and so for her and my own safety I was raised by another female within the pride who agreed to help my mother so she and I would not be killed"It was hard not to give everything away, but if he wanted Reno to trust him he would have no choice in the end. He purposely left out both his mother's and Viciado's name in case this were to all back fire.
"I grew up hating everyone in Meurtrier who had every wronged or hurt my mother"he stopped his explanation hoping it would be enough, his eyes never leaving Reno's as he spoke.

RENO DONOVAN
[/i] He turned his head as he paused his walk to see Zunde's reaction. In a way this was accepting Zunde's interest in joining La Morte. [/ul][/blockquote] |

ZUNDE [/size] Zunde began to follow Reno at his invitation, so far the dominant male didn't seem to question Zunde's story and for that he was silently grateful.
He had never really payed much attention to Meurtrier's actual history, Viciado had tried her best to teach him as a cub but at the time it had just gone in one ear and out the other, and as he'd grown older he wanted to know less about history and more about the future his own future and what he was going to do.
Never the less Zunde listened to Reno's breif history story with minor interest. He had never really payed much attention to the dominant male leader of Meurtrier when he was younger since he never saw him, only heard of his name at the time, and in a way Zunde could now understand some of Reno's goals and his reasoning for it.
As Reno went on with his story as he was nearing the end Zunde couldn't help the bile that formed at the back of his throat at the mention of 'Captain Cocaine' causing his brows to furrow in some annoyance. He realized Reno had suddenly stopped walking causing Zunde to look at the dominant male and stop his own movement.

RENO DONOVAN
[/i] He asked. It was an optional question and answer, one he wouldn't pry at, but curiosity certainly had the better of him. The more than he looked at this male, the more that he felt, somewhere before, he had met him. It was an oddly overwhelming sensation.[/ul][/blockquote] |

ZUNDE [/size] Zunde missed the curious glance Reno had given him too caught up in his own thoughts. His expression returned to normal as he continued to listen to the dominant, feeling somewhat rejoiced that he would be welcomed into the pride.
Then any relief and happiness he felt sank into a deep hole somewhere inside of him at the mention of 'fatherly figures'.
"Ah..."was all he could manage out at the time as his mind thought over itself for a reasonable answer to give. He was conflicted. Making up an excuse or lie could save him any hassle that may come, but Zunde really wanted to be honest, he would never want sink so low as to lie to the ones he was suppose to be loyal to or soon be loyal to at least.
Perhaps no one would care in the end, maybe Reno would pass it off with a shrug or he was digging his own grave. Zunde was thinking to much he realized. He looked about left and right to see that they were really alone before he returned to make full eye contact with Reno.
"My father is Captain Cocaine"

ZUNDE [/size] Zunde waited for a reaction with hestitation. This topic in general was sensitive in a way that it brought out to many emotions inside of him, making it hard for him to not loose his cool. Nevertheless he always kept his eyes in contact with Reno's his expression blank despite the mass turmoil growing bigger in his head as every millisecond went by.
At the dominant males nod and words that brought relief to Zunde and his form deflated a little as the stress caused by talking had caused most of his muscles to tense up without realizing.
"Thank you Reno"was his reply as he bowed to his new leader, lifting his head up to once again take in his surroundings, his new home.
