Welcome to Gaia! ::

Laying in a leisurely manner the black white and beautifully marked lioness lazed in the bright sun absorbing it's rays. She was as usual fairly bored but as she had gotten older she had learned at least a little bit of paitence, she was happy enough to wait for someone, or something to wander along and give her a little peace from the doldrums that was the bulk of her life.

As he limped away from an encounter with Bodaway, Kosuke silently cursed the side of him that insisted upon asking for permission to be with Shula. He paused, glaring at a snake that was watching him. "What do YOU want?" It slithered away, and the male continued on his way. For the most part, he ignored those around him, not paying the new blood much thought or even care. It was as he crested a dune that he noticed her... Black as night, with hints of fire on her pelt. It reminded him of the kind of lions his family was. As he headed over, he raised an eyebrow. "And who have we here?"

The dark lioness smiled though her eyes stayed closed, she gave a low, rumbly chuckle "Jyotika." She stated simply, opening her red eye and looking up at the large blood red male. Not unlike her own family he contained that bright blood red hint of the firekin, the flame that burned on most of the pelts within the pride she loved and lived in. Stretching out her fore claws she raked the sand "and what are you hmm? Spying on a warrioress from the dune tops? You seem to have lost your footing in the dunes." She smirks keeping her eyes closed, she always made a very bad first impression and that was the way she liked it.

Kosuke gave her a sneer. "I did not lose my footing, I lost a duel to a lion past his prime." He limped over, eyeing her. "And I am not a 'what', I am a FIREKIN. And I' m far purer than a lot of the lions that call themselves Firekin around here." Though he'd lost much of his belief, he did still have in him the fear of Finar-si. "And you look too lazy to be a warrior."

Jyotika opened both of her eyes as he insulted her, how dare he! Flying to her paws she lashes her black and white tail "Firekin, you loose a fight to an aging warrior, that is hardly prime for being called a firekin. I lay in the sun to charge my fur for the battles ahead, what is your excuse gimpy?" She raises a brow flashing her pale teeth from between her dark lips. She was always quick to rise to a fight and she wasn't afraid to knock a couple of chunks out of this clearly inept warrior if necessary, she wasn't going to be called lazy and let the fool get away with it.

"I'm twice the firekin you are" She smirks "You're clearly too broken to own such a title."

Letting out a hmph, Kosuke shoved her with a paw. "I'm ten times the Firekin YOU are. YOUR mother's a filthy, weak, rotten little mud-blooded Pridelander. MY mother is of pure blood! My father... Now there's a proud lineage... My father, too, is pure, the grandson of the great king Makadari!" He got in her face, eyes narrow. "And who are you, but a little mud-blooded half-breed?"

"And how exactly do you know my mother is a pridelander?" She snorts and shoves the big male back, her deep odd coloured eyes staring at him, "I could have your heritage but then I'd be a weakling like you." She looks down her nose at him and smirks. "Just admit you were checking me out." A grin strikes across her maw, she liked this picking a fight lark, she would happily fight this maw if he wanted to start with her. "You seem very attracted to me considering you think me nothing but a muddied blood lioness." She purses her lips suspicious of him. "How exactly do you know of my heritage hmm?"

Narrowing his eyes, Kosuke circled around her. "Finar-si told me. Those of TRUE blood actually get gifted by her. And my mother told me who was in the pride before it split in two no thanks to Kidondo. Your mother, was not. And your father is a traitor." Eyebrows going up, he smirked. "How's it feel, to be the offspring of a TRAITOR?"

Jyotika gave a slow snort and lashed out at the deep blood red male "Fenar-si told you my arse! Tell me the truth, do you sit about and spy on firekin who are clearly better than you hmm? At least I'm not simple in the head and able to be beaten down by some old geezer." She snaps, this guy was getting on ehr last wick, what did he want from her? "If you can't admit you like to spy on georgous warrioress you're just a sado, clearly I am far greater than you will ever be, I woud'n't take a beating from some old so and so!"

Dancing away from her paws, Kosuke glared at her. "Yes, Finar-si told me! And she'll NEVER speak to you and your impure blood!" For the moment, his entire effort was to not get hit. He was already wounded, he didn't need further damage done to his body. "And why do you call ME weak, when you attack on impulse? Your training's clearly not stuck to your weak half-blood mind!"

"Tche! I attack because I can see you are weak and foolish to wind up a lioness clearly your mental and physical superior. Why would you argue with someone when you are already hurt. You call me fool but I can see you can't fight me so why pick one hmm?" She snorts, "Come on then oh speaker to the sacred goddess, who are my mother and father?" She tilts an ear towards him, her eyes rolling.

Jyotika laughed rautiously, highly amused by this statement "My old man kicked your butt? What made you go and fight him? Silly boy, he may be old but he's a great fighter, you should know that!" She smirks, she was becoming more and more amused by this, though all that his words proved was that he was a spy and a fool to go about trying to beat up seasoned warriors.

"That's hardly your business!" He snarled, then started back up the dune. "I don't have time to listen to a mud-blood try to make themselves feel good about themself." He shook his head, trying not to place too much pressure on his sore legs. "When I'm not so sore... I'm coming back to whipe that smirk of your filthy face..."

Jyotika laughed and shook her head "You just try it limpy I'll be here waiting!" She scoffs and lays back down, she was quite looking forwards to another meeting with this stubborn lion. Perhaps he would be useful to her. yes, very useful. Closing her eyes once again she lets a rumbling purr cross her chest "I'll see you next time then, I'm sure we will dance the firey dance you and I"
