Blood, oh yes blood. The red pelted female shivered in delight of the thought of it. She and Karndess had had a lovely hunt the night before, so much blood, oh yes, warm crimson blood that had seeped into the soil. Yawning she stretched her forelimbs, it was before dusk, late afternoon and early evening, Riddick, as she had come to find out his name for he disclosed it to Karndess and herself, was still slumbering for the light plagued him. She shrugged at the thought of it, something plagued everyone now and again, such went life.
Things were stranger now though, the brown pelted female, she insisted on jack time and time again, Kyra sometimes, she was a difficult one, but now there was another dark pelted one, not like that of Karndess, young, naive.
She had no idea, did she?
Though evidently she had agreed, ah well, such went life.

Yorik purred softly in her sleep believing that a certain someone was sleeping beside her. In her mind, it was Riddick, big and strong beside her. Though she felt no warm embrace, she did feel warm. The feeling of company would suffice. Her sleep cycle had altered almost completely to that of this group's, sleep during the day and wake during the night. With a struggling wake, she lifted her head lazyingly, blinking to wake up her eyes. It was only dusk out, only moments before nightfall took over the sky and the stars showered the sky once more. Beside her, she noticed that Riddick was still sleeping. Poor thing and his hate of light. She gave him a soft lick before getting up, stretching.
Yorik did not get a good chance to meet the other two that traveled with them, Karndess and Rellik, and she still had plans to get time with Jack to work something out. She had no trust in this group, only with Riddick. If she planned to stay for a while, for however long she will take to find Iorek, she best get on their good sides while she had time to do so.
Looking around, she spotted her first 'victim', it was the red lions. If she recalled correctly, this one was Rellik. Moving over the male's body, she made her way over to her.
"Just wake up?" She whispered softly.

"In a manner," Rellik said with a grin. Though Rellik was a strange lioness with an unhealthy obsession, she was not a brute when she chose to be, she was one who wished to survive, and sometimes, in the most peaceful of ways without bloodshed, though it did call to her in the night. "You're Yorik, the new girly huh? I heard from Karndess that you didn't get such a warm welcome from Jack...don't worry 'bout it, kay?" she said with a sly sile, taking a step, stretching again adn rolling her shoulders.
"There are things you don't know about her, them, but its just that simple, if you knew, you'd know why she acted in such a way, it'll blow over girl, just give it time, but there's something I gotta know...are you a good hunter and fighter, or are you going to need some tips while your with us?"
Straight to the point.

"Yeah, I am the new one of the group. Riddick found me a few moons ago and had me agree to something and here I am," she smiled and came closer to her. Unlike males, she did no 'open affections' toward females. A smile and a nod would suffice. It seemed word spread quickly around the group, no one could keep their maws shut. Then again, she would blurt things out easily too if it were her. But it was nice to know that some of them cared about her. "I'll try not to."
When she asked if she was a good hunter and fighter, she flicked her ears back involuntarily. How embarassing... females are suppose to be the one who did the hunting for the males, at least that was how things worked in teh pride. Before, it had always been Iorek who did the hunting. He was the stronger one and he was teh one with the good head on his shoulders.
"To be honest with you, I am not the best hunter around. Sure I can catch some things like rabbits, field nice, the occasional bird, and perhaps a gazelle if I am lucky. As for a fighter... well, my brother has been wary of me when I get upset... but that's the only times I've ever fought with anyone. I kinda forgot why I got mad to start with..." She paused and looked over at her. "Though, I'd always be opened to tips, Rellik."

"Well, don't worry on the hunting thing then, I can scrape up enough and extra if ya need me too, you can come with me sometime too if you want to see how its done," she said with a smirk, confidence in her voice, "Though its not for those that have weak stomachs, I can tell you that much," not, no weak stomachs allowed, 'specially when she'd get to the throat of whatever she was hunting. Flicking her tail she shook her head and laughed half heartedly, "Not the kind of fighting I mean.."
She took a step, made a half circle around Yorik, and arched a brow, "You've got the muscles for it, least from what my eyes tell me, you need to know how to fight to survive, not fight with your brother, things will eventaully cach up with us all, and you've got to be prepared. Riddick may have found you, but he might not be there when they catch up," they she left to an unknown, mercs he called them, and necros, whatever the hell they may be.
"I can give you a few tips now? Who knows, you could try 'em out on Riddick as a game, he could be impressed. Though I have to say, if you want to get the motion of stuff down, best mend things between you and Jack, she knows all the good sweet spots."

"Well, I hardly eat much anyways so having you to scrap a little extra should not be too much work. I have hunted before and I have seen my brother's carnal, but proper, way of hunting. I am alright with that part..." Good, with that maybe she won't be invited to go hunting with her. If she knew what she meant by 'weak stomachs', she hoped that she didn't have to go out hunting with her. Either she hunted with someone who was more normal or go by herself...
"I'll take that bit as a compliment, I must say you do as well. I have had many days where my brother and I just play around, tiring ourselves out, before going to bed. And until this point, I had never had to worry about surviving because my brother saw to it that I was able to with little effort. But I will take your word that I will have to step up and take care of myself..." Yorik purposely avoided the 'they' question and made sure to ask Riddick later about it. Though, she had a thought from what he said before.
"Sure! Give any tip you think may help me," she smiled anxiously. "As for Jack, I will handle that soon enough. Just gotta catch her alone."

"Ah, well then, if you're going to catch Jack alone, you best watch out for her shiv, nasty little thing she has, sharp as any claw, she always has it with her though, hmm then, what can I teach you to help with that, and other things...so many things to choose from, but I wonder..." Rellik wondered how much Yorik could handle and follow through, heh, she'd see.
"Alright, this is how we'll work it out, I'll show you a move, and I'll do it slowly, walk you through it, I won't hurt ya, trust me, I don't want Riddick on my tail," she said with a laugh, "Then what you'll do is use the move against me, to the best of ya abilities, sound good?"

Great, now Jack has something that can hurt anyone. That's really nice to know. In that case, it was best that she did what Rellik suggested and learned all these abilities... to defend herself of course. She has nothing to prove to Jack nor to anyone for that matter, this was purely to defend herself. She had no issue with Jack or Karndess or Rellik, she was just here to have company while she sought out Iorek.
"Okay then... it sounds rather simple. So I guess you'll have to make the first move and I'll have to copy it after. If I do hurt you, Rellik, I do apologize before paw... You know, I rather not have you hating me while I am here."

"Don't worry about it Yor, I doubt, no offense, that I'd be sore and what not, pasts make individual's as strong as they've, he'll be impressed with you if you can pull of a move or two in a spar with him, who knows, he might show you where the best sweet spot is," Rellik said with a wink, "Just ask him sometime..." flicking her tail Rellik moved to be in front of Yorik, and crouched down, "Now watch, kay?"
She began moving forward at a slow pace and stopped before her, "Now say if someone were to try and strike to with their right paw, like a swing, like this," Rellik pulled Yorik's right arm up and held it out, " Like this, all you have to do is step right, step forward, keep low, and go for their left shoulder since all their weight will be put on it, knock their shoulder, they get knocked down, try it, but put pressure here," she said putting a paw on Yorik's shoulder, "When you go for the knock down."
She took a few steps back, adn waited for Yorik to try, if anything, this was keeping Rellik's mind awake.
Plus, would be interesting to see Jack and Yorik have it out one day.

"Maybe one of these nights, when we play our game again, I will beat him to a pulp! Though, dunno if he will be impressed, losing to a female . . . "
Yorik took it all in quickly. She got the movements and understood the processes, the reasoning, and the execution. Surely this would be a simple task for her. Little did Rellik know, unlike Iorek, Yorik never learned when 'too much power' was too much. She had always given everything her all, brute force was the strongest she could give.
With a stern nod, she indicated she was ready.
Yorik made a quick dash toward her, anticipating a swing from her right paw, she quick threw herself down to the ground, striking out hard (with all her might) at her left shoulder just as Rellik had instructed. As her claws contacted against her skin, she gave out a loud battle cry-like yell before rolling off to the side into a pouncing position.
Hopefully... she did it right. After all, Rellik did say she couldn't harm her so there was nothing to worry about. Right?

Rellik laughed somewhat at Yorik's statement, then got a bit more serious, when she swung out at Yorik, she made sure to do it fast enough that it would mimic the action, but slow enough for Yorik to anticipate it, focus on it, and execute the move. This technique would aid Yorik in getting used to the different speeds of swings, however, the movements were generally the same, so as long as she could anticipate what was going to happen, fixating on speed would be easy.
The pressure to her shoulder made her arm collapse down and hit the ground with a thump, Yorik's claws grazed her, but not enough to draw blood, internally Rellik was thankful for this: best not have to kill Riddick's 'mistress' on first time meeting.
No, plus, those moments were meant to be planed, and savored.
"Goood good!" Rellik said with a nod, an ear to ear grin, "there's hope for ya yet it seems," rolling herself onto her paws she stretched her forearms and twisted her left leg until she heard a pop, and she sighed in satisfaction, "Ya gotta know where your limits are if you're ever injured, remember that, even if your pride is on the line, better to suck up your ego then get yourself killed, may not be the most honorable thing to do, but still, survival of the fittest yea."

Yorik calmed herself down the best she could, raising herself to her feet. She did it, but what really surprised her was that she wanted to continue her assault. She had ideas and thoughts running in her mind what she could have done to do more damage and possibly impress Riddick and maybe Rellik too. Her first thought was to pounce and grab what she could when she landed with all her weight on the lioness and do whatever she could from there. If she felt as if it wasn't going to work, she would have distance herself.
"So I did good?" She questioned back. Yoriked watched as she disgustingly turned her shoulder and popped it back into place. If she ever had to do that, definitely have to suffer through it than do that.
"I do know my limits," no she doesn't. She never had a chance to. To her honor wasn't what she really cared about. She cared more about her image, her presence, and how others saw her.
"Rellik, do you think Jack hates me?"

"Yea you did, after you do that one move there are so many other moves you can folllow through with, however, sometimes its best to just get caught up in those moments then flesh out a full attack pattern, with one move, others present themselves to you," Rellik said with a nod, a yawn and a stretch of her legs. "Pfft, limits, you think you know them, but you can surpass what you think is your peak, one day, you'll see."
Though when a time like that comes, it may not be one of the most pleasurable times for Yorik, they were usually life and death situations that brought this surpassing of the pinnacle of strength.
"Jack? Well, its hard to tell really I haven't known her for very long, though she does seem a bit cross at you for how close you are to Riddick in such a little amount of time," she said with a nod. "They've known each other for almost a lifetime now, I heard her mumbling something the other day to him about when he saved her once, I didn't catch all of that though, was munching on a meal...just be wary if you try to approach her, wary of her shivs."

Yorik started to walk, to get her mind going and keep herself active for the time. The adrenline from that small fight scenario was good and it was still running through her systems. She thought about things, about Riddick, about Jack, about all of this. The games she played with Riddick were always fun and stuff, but was it that that made Jack upset and crossed with her?
"Jack doesn't like me because of my liaison with Riddick? We are friends aren't we? All of us? If anything, I have not wronged her at all, I did not slight her, I hardly know her. I just want to get good with everyone. For the time, I'll be with you all and I don't want us to be upset with one another," She spoke, continuing her pacing motions. "I like Riddick, I mean, I like him a lot, perhaps more than my brother, but he's kinda a rough guy. Hard to read at times. I am just doing what comes naturally to me..."
"Rellik, do you think I am the reason for all of this, really? I feel rather guilty for having to put Riddick through all this, do forgive my words, all this crap that is going on between Jack and I. I didn't mean to cause him any grief..."

Rellik cackled for a moment and caught herself, nearly chocking, "Friends yu think? Yorik, lemme let you in on something, none of us, from what I've been told, and seen, has ever been tainted, covered and coated with Riddick's scent as much as you..not even Jack..." she flicked ehr tail, gave a nod, yes. not all of them spent their days with Riddick, slept by his side, Jack sued to be there, but since Yorik's appearance, Jack seemed isolated, more agitated and on edge.
Rellik wondered if Jack might opt to fight Yorik, fight her for Riddick, it was an honorable set perhaps, though would it happen?
She smirked, "For the time? Girl, you think after all this you can leave so easily, go to this 'brother' of yours? Your signed up here, agreed to Riddick, so you have to do what he says, you can't leave less he says? Reason for it, more likely, no offense girl, but things have changed since you've come about. To settle this something will needta happen, a compromise, a settlement, or a fight. If you are strong you live, if you are weak, you die, these are the only known truths of this world."
