Chobi -bold
The night before had been eventful as the two rolled on the beach trying multiple times for Cubs. The morning waking up next to Ny was surreal despite having woken up to her face on multiple occasions. Gjen had plenty of females in his life from Mom's to sisters and a few oops romantic encounters with one resulting in Cubs. Never had he been in love with someone so pure and someone who understood him.
A gentle faded paw lifted to lightly stroke nye hair out of her eyes. His red eyes were intently focused on his mate.
"Ny ," he whispered softer than any sands. "You should introduce me to Tuu." The moment may have been ruined by this request but it was on his mind. Tuu was now going to be around so he figured he'd want to know the lion who cleaned the den and assist in other tasks for them and their soon to be family.
It was a dream having Gjen the way she did, and normally nothing in the world would change her mind about how she felt about him, but when the pale lion woke her up to ask about seeing her mother the darker lioness shot up straight and frowned as if she had never slept at all. "What?" A few unsettled blinks followed her question as she tiled her head. "Why, I mean, she isn't worth it, trust me."
"I CAN HEAR YOU." A shout came from outside as a bitter brown lioness stepped into the den. "YOU MADE ME SLEEP OUTSIDE LIKE AN ANIMAL." Her voice was shrill and full of anger, "-I am your MOTHER, HOW CAN YOU TREAT ME SO POORLY?" If Gjen took the time to look Tuu over he would be able to see how similar the two females looked. Ny was just a cool version of her mother in terms of color and tone, but they shared the same exotic markings.
"Oh s**t..." Ny muttered as she glared at her mate. "Looks like you'll get your wish after all..." Her blue eyes narrowed as Tuu entered the den uninvited. "--So you can lazy about all day and leave me to work like a slave!?" The female huffed. "This is unacceptable."
"Tuu, you are MY thrall, so stop complaining. You are lucky I own you and not some Reaver." As Ny spoke she moved from her place beside her lover. "Gjen, this is my mother, Tuu." She spoke bitterly and between a firm frown.
"Tuu, this is Gjen, my mate--"
Gjen had a playful teasing in his expression to his mate. That was until a very bossy voice came to earshot. Gjens hair stood on ends listening to Tuu boss her daughter around like the roles were reversed and it didn't sit well with gjen.
"You must be Tuu. I must say your manners are more than the tales of you lead me to expect. " He had a displeased look in his red eyes. He didn't want to start s**t with Tuu but if she was going to talk to Ny this way he was going to be ready to lay down the law.
Gjen sat with a stiff uncomfortable posture, not because he was afraid, but because he was restraining himself for Nys sake. He was a reaver but Tuu was not his thrall so he didn't throw his rank around. He had faith in his choice mate and if she needed back up he'd gladly be there.
Ny rolled her eyes in annoyance before speaking, "-Look, that isn't going to be how this works, Tuu." Ny would never refer to the lioness as her mother, at least not to her face. "You will sleep outside every night if you don't stop yelling at me." For a second the dark lioness sat in silence, thinking over her next move very carefully. "Gjen is the head of this house, you will show him respect or I will sell you to the Warlord." Her threat was not empty. Though her mother was just that, HER mother, Ny felt very litter for the ill-spoken female. Maybe someday that could change, at least... that is what Ny was going for when she captured her mother in the first place.
"This is our home and your are OUR thrall. I will expect the den to stay clean while we are away and for you to keep your eyes to yourself." A hiss crept out from between her clenched teeth, she knew her mother could be a flirt, if she tried anything with Gjen Ny would indeed snap.
As Ny spoke Tuu simply sat back and frowned. She had SUCH a disrespectful child, still, she was also very aware of her new lifestyle here, and the idea of being sold made her pelt bristle in anger. "I get it," Tuu snapped in response as she eyed over Gjen slyly. "He is a looker, look at you bagging such a handsome boy, I didn't know you would ever settle down-" the lioness stopped and laughed before finishing her statement, "-you're so chubby after all." Her mother spoke with a wicked grin.
Tuu was so crass sometimes. Ny simply sighed and eyed over at Gjen.
Gjen had grown up around mostly females his whole life thanks largely to being the only male in his litter. When he was a cub he was not so smart but plenty of lumps to the head had made him grow wiser to never interrupt an exchange between females and only say something when needed. So, stoically, he sat and let Ny lay down the law all the while glaring at Tuu.
And eventually the insult was made and it was up to Gjen to set things straight.
"I don't have eyes for any other female. Ny is a goddess and if you try to imply her figure is any less you'll meet the ends of my claws. " He snorted. Ny was perfect and he didn't care if she was chubby or thin or taller or shorter because Ny was Ny and she'd won him over.
"Ny I think your thrall is having too many thoughts. She must not have enough to do to be sassing you like this. Maybe we should fine something for her to do?" He was now not addressing Tuu at all except to discuss what to do with her with Ny. He was mad but he knew he would be. His own mother drove him up the wall with her own terrible self.
