Welcome to Gaia! ::

Teketeza rolled his eyes and smirked at Badieh. "It'll be your problem when war is upon us and a Hongshan supposedly has your back, only for them to run into a corner and hide, or crumble into a shivering mess." He frowned deeply. "Physically, you may think that they're ready, but mentally, they are broken and useless." The fact that Badieh was his Aunt mattered little. In his opinion, what he said was fair, based on how a few of the Hongshan had reacted during battle.

The fact that Azar thought that he had a point didn't surprise him at all, since he fully believed that he was right. Still, he had to admit that Azar worded it a bit better. Soleil's idea actually wasn't half bad, but it would still only be games. That was the problem. "Azar is right, we could never be fully prepared for a real war, I'll admit that. I just don't think that 'games' are a good enough form of training."

When someone else defended the Hongshan, Teketeza opened his mouth to respond, but was interupted by Hraga. A low growl radiated in his throat. "I don't need to look for a real war. It's lurking just on the horizon. And the longer we spend cloistered within our own lands playing these stupid games, the longer the enemy has to prepare." The firey grey male had said from early on that they needed to strike sooner rather than later.

"Do you think that their preparation for war involves tagging each other out, and answering riddles? Lets hope that it does, because then at least we'll stand a chance, because they'll be just as ill-prepared as we are." With that, Teketeza turned and started making his way back to the dens, shooting the group of Hongshan one last look of disgust as he went by.

It seemed that the grey male's words affected a few of the Firekin, as questioning looks graced their faces, with a couple of them repeating what he had said. Despite this, the majority of the Firekin seemed to reject his idea that Hongshan are weak, which was a small relief. When the black female named Badieh came over, he offered her a small smile. "Thank you."

Ukuba knew that he and the other Hongshan were anything but weak. At the same time though, confronting the Nergui after all that had happened was not going to be easy. The fact that they would do it anyway was a sign of strength in itself. As long as the majority of the Firekin accepted them as fellow warriors, it mattered little what the minority thought.

Wishing to lighten the mood, if that was at all possible, he gave Roho a playful nudge with his paw. "The next time that we have war games, I will have to get you back for tagging me out." He chose to speak in the common tongue, since there was now a Firekin with them.

The pretend war was over, and while a party sounded promising it was about time Xefo headed home. He wasn't exactly in the mood to fight over scraps either. There wouldn't be a feast waiting for him at home, but he could probably get some food without having to fight for it. He had never needed to go hungry since he joined his lion companion.

It was a bit dull to fly over the desert, but the hot updrafts would help and give him additional lift. Hopefully he'd be home soon enough.
