"Ugh. So hungry...."
Kataja was almost always hungry, but after deciding to fold herself into the protection of the Mava'Bunda pack, she was always hungry. Food was no easy task around here, and the green hyena was starting to wonder if it was a good idea to stick around. Of course, with how some of the other hyenas were, they'd probably beat the crap out of her if they knew what she was thinking. She felt trapped, but sticking around at least guaranteed shelter from rain, and no teasing from non-hyenas about her eating habits. She was just going to have to be a better hunter or something.
She moved lethargically around, debating on if she should attempt to find some carrion out in the rogue lands. Old meat was still meat, and it would help give her some energy to try and get a real fresh meal later.
"We need hunting parties..." she grumbled to herself before tripping over a bone and nearly falling on her face. |

By all appearances, Ibada had adjusted quickly and well to pack-life. Shortly after his little chat with Masuko he had decided it was better for him to be part of a group, he was getting older and he had been starting to get awfully hungry and paranoid on his own. He had started dispersing his hoard into several smaller hiding spots, feeling it would be safer that way now that he was part of the pack and couldn't guard his old spot at the border indefinitely anymore. He knew he'd been clinging to the idea of Aten returning for far too long, it had been his own little excuse. Now it was entirely for himself.
He had another hoard in mind, though, as he sneaked around the shadows of the graveyard with a fair-sized bone with far too much meat still on it to be considered fair game for hoarding- or even safe for hoarding, it wouldn't keep it would be impossible to avoid scavengers in a pack full of them. Still, he seemed oblivious to the flaws. He helped hunt, he wasn't that selfish.. but this was his, he found it and he was going to keep it for himself.
He wasn't, however, oblivious to how devious his plan was. He was working hard to stick to the shadows even when he didn't think anybody was around but he stumbled when he heard someone muttering and the awkward shuffle of paws barely keep the voice upright. He took a second to glance around and as soon as he spotted the green hyena, he scurried off, hoping she hadn't spotted him. |

Well, that reasoning kind of took them in circles. He ran, apparently, because she chased him. She chased because he ran. As long as you didn't think too hard about it, maybe it made some sense. He was truthfully paranoid, even if his true reason for running right now was stealing.
The rest of her answer surprised him, though, and finally he set down his food- though he kept it between his front feet, clearly intent on protecting it.
"You're new here?" he asked, looking her up and down again but this time with a different kind of suspicion, "Did they bully you into it, too?"

Hmmm, she must not seem him quite the same way as everybody else but perhaps that was because she was a former rogue herself.. and because, for some reason, she had managed a conversation with him. He wasn't normally so approachable, and he made no effort to make it easier on anybody. In fact, he usually took steps to avoid everybody. That was definitely how this started.
He couldn't decide how he felt about her attempted humor, though.. but then he was distracted by her assertion that she didn't steal, even if others stole from her. It was funny considering his food was stolen, but quickly he wondered if this was actually an attempt to guilt him into giving it back.
But he wouldn't, it was his.
Still having no idea what to say, he stayed silent and looked at her with yet another suspicious expression.
