(( Ra'Shook isn't really the leader of Fallenstand xD; I know the shop's front is a bit misleading... but Rara is basically just a respected higher-up, who 'babysits' the pride, due to a lack of formal leadership x3;; ))
Rashbah tried to scramble to her feet, not wanting to get in her father's way. Though she'd never actually seen him in battle, the stories told to her by the elders left her with a rather hefty impression of him. And, even though he refused to talk anything about his past, even to his own children, the fact that he had participated in two wars against the Frostcreek -and lived- were credit enough to his prowess.
The seasoned male crashed back down to all fours, still roaring furiously as he took a step closer to Dáire. Rather than take an attack stance, he puffed his chest out, retracting his claws, and stared down the rouge with eyes that burned with rage.
"ROUGE," the mighty Saber boomed, "you have broken the law of the Fallenstand by entering this land... but you teeter on the brink of DEATH for approaching my daughter." His voice was harshly stern, though surprisingly calm. His eyes did not waver once from Dáire as he spoke.

Gorando, having played his part as a useful distraction, decided to roll himself over and away from the very obvious bloodshed-to-be. One did not get in Ra'shook's way, even in peacetimes.

Dáire was quickly gathering himself up from the startling arrival of the powerful sabre who was obviously in charge of th younger ones, in some way. He glared darkly, and dared to meet the other male's gaze. Ra'shook may have been older, and formidable, but Dáire was no coward. He straightened himself up and stood his ground when Ra'shook took a step toward him, a muffled growl crackling softly in his chest.
"Well." he replied, once the great male had finished making his accusations, "I did not know it was a crime to approach those of my own kind." he replied in a somewhat brazen manner. "I mean you no harm, and I did not know the land was occupied by your pride." he added snappishly, in a flat-faced lie. He wasn't sure whether or not he wanted to go down there and then, in a terrible battle with Ra'shook. Dáire knew the chances of winning such a fight were practically zero to none. He knew it was possible, too, and he watched the other intensely, not wishing to be caught off guard.

Ra'Shook wrinkled his nose at Dáire's words, a crooked frown forming on his mouth.
"You are not one of our kind, rouge" he said bluntly, still staring him down intently.
For a while he was silent, but soon turned his head around to look at his daughter. There was a stern and angry look in his eyes, the likes of which made Rashbah crouch low to the ground. Her own eyes grew wide as she drew her ears back submissively, knowing full well that he would be furious with her for venturing so close to the territory's border. However, to her surprise, there was no scolding or reprise; he simply turned his head back around, looking past Dáire to a shaken Gorando.
"You aren't hurt, are you?" he asked Gorando in a stiff voice. Before the young male even had time to answer, Ra'Shook turned his attention to Ari. "You should escort him back to the pride," he grumbled, "and take Rashbah with you as well."
He then looked back to the rouge, his blue eyes narrow once again. He would see to it that this grouping was safe, then deal with the trespasser.

"Wh- me? No, I... I'm fine," he stammered, standing up a few feet away. He tried his best to make himself look more in control, but his ruffled fur and wild eyes were impossible to hide. His attempts to look menacing were, at best, laughable.

Ari grumbled last thing she needed was to be the brats babysitter. But she was not ready to refuse Ra'Shooks request and quickly turned to Gorando.
"well lets go...." She said a bit snappy still angered from the encounter earlier.
She then turned to Rashbah, it was easy to tell she was not happy, nor should she be. The look her father had given was enough to melt the ice. "lets go." She shook her head and tilted it in the way of home then turned with out seeing if the others were coming and started marching.

Dáire's ears pinned back, a short jolt of disgust splitting through him, though he wasn't sure why. Perhaps this was one of the reasons he had chosen this sort of life for himself...sabers in prides were always so full of themselves, so exclusive to strangers. Then again, there had been war in the past, so he supposed there was reason to shun outsiders. He had not been tangled in any wars, nor had he heard many stories about either.
He watched the sizable male question and bark out orders to his crew, his mind starting to whir with possible plans, ideas. He was tempted to bolt, knowing it wasn't far to their territory's edge. He wondered if Ra'shook would cross over the boundary to pursue him. It was worth a try, if this ended up as a life or death situation.
He glanced back at Rashbah and the retreating youngsters, before looking back at Ra'shook again, a dark glare still plastered over his features.

Gorando tried to stay and menace Daire a little longer, but gave up after a moment and turned after the aggressive female. He turned back after a few steps to check on the other lady... ?

Rash's head was low and her tail tucked as she slowly followed Ari and Gorando away from the scene. She was humiliated, to say the least, but now was certainly not the time to start a fuss. She'd just have to bite her lip and pray that this horrible mess didn't spread around the pride. ESPECIALLY to her brothers. Uggg, she'd almost forgotten about them, and how it was their fault she was out here in the first place. Maybe if I'm really lucky, she pondered, that rouge will come back and finish me off.
After watching to make sure the party was safely out of view, Ra'Shook turned his full attention back to Dáire. His expression was harsh, and his posture like stone.
"I have no intentions of fighting you, rouge. Its not worth it to me. However..." a deep rumble reverberated from his throat, "if you EVER come near this territory, or my daughter again... I wont be so understanding."
With that he slowly turned away, his posture still tall and proud and he began to walk away from the rouge.

The rogue eyed the female as she slunk off with the other two, his attention shifting fully to Ra'shook, not sure exactly what the big male planned to do. He didn't assume by now that the big chief was going to jump him...and as Ra'shook spoke, his prediction came true. At least they weren't after his life...that would have been quite unreasonable.
"But of course..." Dáire scoffed, and lowered his head in a vague nod as the other laid down the boundaries, ones that he would probably end up breaking soon enough. He turned as Ra'shook did, and set off through the snow in a brisk pace.
"So long old man!" he cried back, once he was a good distance away. Giving a wicked little chuckle, he bounded off through the snow, making for his den on the edge of the territory and the midground. He wore a smug grin on his face, knowing that he would have to be more careful. It wasn't so bad though...that male could never be everywhere at once, and he would remain where he was, taking what he needed from the land.
