Din-tei yawned in the sun. It was a ton brighter out here- hotter, too. After having resided in the god's haven all of this life, Din had to admit to herself that this was the warmest weather she'd encountered in quite a long while, and was finding it almost difficult to cope with it. Wings spread out with the occasional flap in the shade, Din didn't even bother hiding her appearance- as usual.
It was a rare thing, for her to disguise herself. She didn't see why to do it, unless you wanted to play tricks on someone, then it'd be fun. But that was for another day, the goddess wasn't in that kind of mood. She gave her legs a small stretch- her training yesterday had been pretty intense. Yes, she'd train in this life- she would improve from her last apparently bland life. She pondered continuing her training tomorrow... Her tail flicked lightly as she raised her head and pondered... And where'd that stupid maned wolf run off to today, anyway?? Her thoughts ran through her head as she kept her eyes mostly blurred at no point in particular on the horizon.
Olayinka was in the mist of traveling when she happened along the violet lioness. She was heavy with offspring and tired from her long walk but she needed to get back to the leopard who caused this entire problem. There was no way SHE was going to get burdened down with these brats. As it was hunting was a chore.
Lifting her head she panted and gazed the the lionness scruntizing her. As a rule Olayinka didn't associate with lions or anything else usually. Still it was at least female, she might know what to do or at least where she could find that double crossing son of a--
"Hey," She said trying hard not to sound cross and laid herself down near the lion. She was tensed, limbs spread so she could jump up any second. Her tail flickering back and forth. "... Have you seen any leopards around this area?"
Din refocused as a leopard snuck her way onto the scene. Now, this was no ordinary leopard- she was fat. Or, more accurately (probably) pregnant. The goddess quirked a brow before smirking, what an interesting little situation that had been tossed between her paws today! The goddess rose before sitting, wings neatly tucked in at her sides now. "Leopards, leopards.... I've seen one..." she said, face turned skyward as if in deep thought. "But she's standing right in front of me," she said, shifting her eyes down to the stranger before her, keeping her head up for an additional moment before turning to look at the leopard.
Something was strange, though.... this leopard hadn't commented on her wings! Din shifted them subconsciously just by the thought of it before she rose and stretched. "Actually," she said, voice mildly strained until she cracked her spine, "you're the first mortal I've seen in this life," she said, wondering what the stranger would say to that.
The wings caught Olayinka's attention second, her sore feet had caught it first. She licked at them before passing a look over them. She'd heard of Goddess from the lions but she herself had never bothered to believe in such a thing. It was beyond her. So now that she was faced with one well that just made her think she was crazy.
Until she head the lion's next words. The leopardess pushed herself up so she was sitting. "So you haven't seen anything worth my time." Came her answer and but she didn't move. She was too tired. Even walking through the night was hardly cool enough anymore. Now that it was afternoon the ground might as well be boiling. "A Goddess, huh? Of what? Freakishly long hair?" She smirked in a mocking tone.
Din gave a sarcastic smille, tossing her head side to side lightly in response. She wasn't entirely sure she liked the attitude of this one. Didn't matter much to her, though. "No, I am not the goddess of freakishly long hair, though you're just jealous because your bald," she retorted. For dramatic effect, she rose to her feet and increased the gravity around her... She wondered if she could encompass the leopardess.... Probably not at this distance, but a few steps would likely put her in range, within 5 feet... She took a few steps so the leopard would feel it- feel heavier than she ever had. Din's "freakishly long" hair bent at the increased force, as did blades of grass around her. "Let's see how well you know the world, take a guess at it," she said waiting to hear the response.
The leopardess let out a small growl. "Doubtful. I don't need a mane. Dingy things." She put her nose up in a different direction. What she didn't intend on was the strange pull when the lion stepped closer.
Suddenly her pupils shrank as horrors that her cubs might be harmed flooded her. She let out a snarl and bucked against the gravity, trying her damnest to escape its hold. "Stop it!" She hissed trying to raise her paw to swat at her.
Din couldn't help but chuckle as she immediately let up, her bangs springing back into place. Ah, playing with mortals, a joy she seemed to have forgotten. They were always so worried about their precious health. No, Din certainly was not a fan of mortals in general- she had learned quite a while ago what they were capable of if you were too nice to them as a population.
She took a quick backstep to avoid the swat that would unavoidably come, especially since she'd lightened up the gravity. Din chuckled. "No need to worry, it's not like I'm going to kill you or anything. So, as you may or may not have been able to guess with your little mind, I'm gravity," she said, remaining standing with her tail swishing lightly behind her.
Despite the idea that a swat might come as soon as the female was released she was licking at her oversized stomach as if to reassure herself her cubs were alright. Once she was sure she glared at the goddess. "Gravity? So what? You go around holding people down and laughing at them?"
"Not really. Honestly, I don't really care about mortals enough to spend time and energy 'torturing' them, or whatever it is you've got floating through your head. I don't worry about holding you down. Only just a passing thought," she said, clearly proving what she'd said. She no longer cared to use her powers on this one. "Besides, I wasn't laughing while I had increased force, just a chuckle at your reaction after I let go. Most mortals, if I recall correctly, rather enjoy spending a few moments in my altered gravitational fields because they'll never feel it again," Din-tei said, eyes skyward again pondering that... That was right, right? Yeah, she remembered a few instances.
"Its not me I'm worried about." The female snapped the fur along her back rising. "Well those 'mortals' are bumbling idiots. I just askded if you'd seen any other leopards not for you to show off your palor tricks!"
"Finally, something in common," Din said with mild amusement. "I tend to agree, those mortals are a bunch of idiots." While the female was short with her, and somewhat insulting, Din couldn't say she wasn't enjoying the experience. Mortals were so... interesting. They lived these strange lives, then they just died- poof! She supposed that this lack of accumulation of experience was to blame for their erratic behavior, but she couldn't say she minded that much either. It was quite amusing, actually. The goddess had viewed mortals for a long while as a big experiment... and complete stranger mortals were her favorite type to entertain her.
"Well, I told you and you didn't leave, I assumed you wanted to experience something different!" she said truthfully, waiting to see what would happen next.
The leopardess kept her hackles raise her long fangs showing off, yellowed by years of hunting. "I happen to be carrying cubs. I can't just get up and go on a dime. I've been traveling for days." She explained flicking her tail in annoyance. She pulled herself to her feet and moved a bit away before laying down. She would show this Goddess she wasn't afraid of her.
"I'm perfectly aware of what you're carrying, it's quite obvious..." maybe that was why the leopard was in such a foul mood? Hmm...
"I see, I can't ever remember being pregnant, so I can't relate," she said mirroring the leopardess' movement and plopping herself down to the ground, wings allowed to droop into the grass under the tree. "Well, isn't that just boring," she said quietly, more to herself than anything.
"Well here's a reminder. If you do anything you could kill the stupid brats!" The mother to be snapped with a warning growl. "I'm sorry to bore you." She said though its very obvious she doesn't care. "You're the one picking on strangers. Go pick on one of your own kind. Like the God of Stupidity. I"m sure you'd get along."
"Like I said, if you're so unhappy, get up and go, but I'm not going anywhere," Din said. Was it now a matter of pride? No, it was a matter of annoyance. Of a cub-like, "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you~~~" Come to think of it, that was quite ironic, she would probably get to know that phrase really well sometime soon. She lifted the corner of her mouth just a touch silently at the thought of it.
Olayinka normally wouldn't give up. Normally she'd fight out the battle of wills. "Fine. I don't have time to deal with you. I have to get to that male." She growled and picked herself up. She glowered at the Goddess for hurting her pride and started off. Once she had her cubs she'd teach her a thing or two.
