She had a really smug expression on her face as she dragged an antelope to where she was supposedly staying with the second in command--Rahu. Said black leopard was nowhere to be found, even though after all the (very) amusing events of Rahu finding her hanging out and flirting with Tokeldo, who, like she had thought, was the son of Thona, he had disappeared. Tokeldo resembled his father rather well with the arrogance and stuck-up attitude, but oh, he was so cute and so, so very easy to manipulate to her will. If she didn't find Rahu soon, however, this antelope was being eaten by her and would probably be shared among all the other members of the pride. And maybe she should find Tokeldo just to rub it in Rahu's face.
However, Aruna soon spotted a familiar looking black leopard with a scowl on his face--and sulking. On a giant tree limb. She chuckled to herself as she approached Rahu with the antelope in her maw, dropping it in front of the tree. "And look at me, who went to all this effort of hunting a delicious antelope for you, and you're lazying about sulking in this tree," she teased, raising an eyebrow and looking up at him. "Here I was, just minding my own business, after my supposed "mate" told me he didn't care, so I was just playing around with the son of the king, and my "mate" throws a hissy fit," she paused to look at Rahu pointedly, "so I decided to play nice and get him something good and get him this freshly killed antelope, and what do I find? A sulking leopard. I thought you were made of tougher stuff."

She snorted and shook her head, exasperated. "Hey, it's not my problem if Thona decides to thump your sorry behind for roughing up his son. I knew what I was doing, and hey, Tokeldo's cute. I like toying with him... and he's cute." She smirked, using a sharp claw to dice up the antelope before she threw a juicy piece of meat at her "mate." "Look, Rahu, I know you can hunt, but it's my job to feed the pride and you. Deal with it. I refuse to be turned into a slave or commoner, and I doubt you want to have your rep. ruined if rumors go around saying you're mated to a commoner." She had picked up on the pride rules fairly quickly, and she didn't intend to be dirt under those stuck-up leopards' paws.
...Especially Thona.
Aruna harbored a deep, passionate hate for that bright colored leopard, and given the chance, she'd probably do anything to kill him. If it meant her death, that was fine with her--it was one means of escaping, but she'd rather be alive. "Why do you even care?" she rolled her eyes. "If I remember right, you said you didn't care, and I took that as 'I can do whatever I want' and you can do whatever you want." Seriously, this guy was more female than male with his weird mood swings! Aruna was partially amused and partially annoyed. What did it take to make this guy crack and admit he liked her?

Good, he was eating the meat. Satisfied, Aruna tossed another juicy piece at Rahu, munching on a small one herself. "It's because I like you," she said in a matter-of-fact voice. "You can say I even love you," she finished, smiling brightly at him. She wasn't joking, of course, but hey, it was just hilarious doing shocking and unpredictable things to this leopard. He made the cutest expressions, and he was tough and sexy and everything she loved in a male leopard. Tokeldo was simply a passing thing, and while the son of Thona was adorable, Aruna preferred Rahu overall anyway. "Tokeldo's technically ranked higher than me, and I'll decide if he's worht my time or not, Rahu," she added, watching her mate carefully. "If you don't get close with anyone, why do you care if I'm close with Tokeldo? And I care about getting close to you because, like I said, I like you... love you," she corrected herself. She had known that her attraction for Rahu was rather instantaneous, but she was simply drawn to the guy. No idea why, but she was.

She grew alarmed when Rahu choked and rushed over to his side, checking to make sure he was okay. When he spoke, she let out a small sigh of relief and glared at him slightly. "Yes, I love you, so don't scare me like that!" She was slightly irritated that he was avoiding saying anything about her feelings, but that was okay. If he was feeling suspicious, that was understandable--she had toyed around with him, but that didn't matter. She'd have toyed with him and still love him anyway. "Why wouldn't he be worth my time?" she argued, rolling her eyes as she returned to the meat, trying to decide if she should share this or not. This antelope had been particularly difficult to take down but was the choicest one of the herd she'd been skulking after. "Yes, regardless of everything--whatever everything is--I love you," she agreed, staring at him like he was growing a second head.

After dropping the food off with the nurses for the cubs to eat, Aruna returned her attention to Rahu. "What's my loving you have to do with anything?" she asked, confused. He seemed to love stressing the fact that she loved him, and it didn't bother her in the least. It was the truth. "Well, you don't have to tell me, but Rahu, Thona might have your head if you do anything too much to his son, even if the cub-ling is cute." Aruna considered Tokeldo as a young cub despite being a full-grown adult, and of course, as rather adorable. "You seem to be having fun, though," she added, following him as he wandered around the pride. She was going to learn these lands by heart, by the gods. Being dragged out from the rogue lands to these lands would take some adjusting to, after all. "Actually, Rahu... do you love me?" she threw out randomly, almost like a passing comment.
