Buffy_the_Bloody Today was a lazy day, much like most days were for the male. He enjoyed these days the most, though he tended to dwindle in the bushes and try to bat fruit from the trees. He lived a good life, that was for sure. Having just returned from stealing a lionesses golden bracelet, he was rather proud of himself. Sometimes looting others was just as fun as lazying around. But for now, he was content to do absolutely nothing. The sun warmed his blood red pelt and he let it just soak into his fur with glee. He felt the sunshine on his eyelids and he smiled, rolling onto his back and sticking his legs in the air, his tail flicking back and forth as he breathed in deeply. Half eaten fruit lay at his side, and from one look you could see it was more ripe than fruit should be. He wasnt eating it to get nutrition out of it though.. He was eating it to get intoxicated. Another of his favorite pasttimes. Yes..A pirates life was for him. Princess_Feylin Laziness was not part of Aesir's life. Not really. There were periods of rest and relaxation when he wasn't out viking, but most of the time the Stormborn Reaver lived a life of action, and that suited him. He enjoyed fighting whether he won or lost - though more when he won, naturally - and he considered a day of inaction a day wasted. At present, he wasn't in much danger of that. Being out viking as part of a crew meant that everyone had an assigned role that they were expected to fill, and Aesir was definitely not one to shirk his duties. He knew that his newness to the pride made it necessary for him to prove himself. Or at least he thought that was how it worked, for it was hard to believe that winning one battle could make him perfectly acceptable in the eyes of an entire pride. His current job was to scout ahead and pick out a site for the crew to stop for the night. The day had proven dull, mostly being made up of travel, and so he supposed he could expect the same from the evening, aside from the stories and songs. As he approached a likely looking clearing he noticed that it was occupied by another lion with a deep red pelt who seemed either to be unconscious or very nearly so. Aesir growled low in his throat to attract the other lion's attention.

Buffy_the_Bloody As a pirate, Pirato believed in enjoying life, and making others lives miserable. He was a scandelous dirty male, who normally didnt have the best hygiene, however he didnt care. He was a guy who just didnt care about much besides his fun. Though he was all for putting up a fight, he was more likely to try to talk his way (or even trick if he had to) out of it. He didnt like rough violence, he felt he just wasnt built for that. He was a courageous sort, though he knew when the time came, getting away was a better idea than being bloodied. He couldnt exactly go searching for a crew if he was bloody and mangled, right? He had been almost preparing to doze off when a growl caught his ear. He flicked his ears and opened his eyes. The focus was blurry, and he blinked annoyedly. Rolling back onto his belly, he stared at the other who had announced his presence. He saw the male was big, and adorned with items much like his own..However this guys stuff was made of stone, and furs. Obviously he was a fighter. Pirato merely wore his looting rewards that he favored. "Are you lost?" He asked, his voice rather slurred. Princess_Feylin "No," Aesir replied, regarding the other lion with increasing disgust. He now realized why he had seen the remains of fruit, and why the air smelled cloyingly sweet, and the realization filled him with contempt. It was one thing to get drunk socially. In fact, Aesir was very, very fond of the mint that the Stormborn chewed or snorted to achieve inebriation, but he would never have considered getting drunk on his own. That just seemed like sheer idiocy. "Are you?" he countered, wondering if perhaps the lion had been part of a group, but had managed to misplace them in his drunken state. It really was incomprehensible to him that someone could be so stupid as to deliberately dull their senses without the benefit of someone keeping watch to make sure no one like Aesir came across them and beat them to a bloody pulp before taking their valuables.

Buffy_the_Bloody Truth was, Pirato felt he was slick. He could get away if given half a chance and hed take any oppurtunity he saw. Even if that meant that hed point in another direction to get the other to look before fleeing. Nothing was below him really..Hed do what it took. Its why he considered himself a survivor. But looking this male over, he saw the anger in his eyes. Pirato narrowed a brow, raising his chin up a bit to regard him with a once over. This lion seemed like a brute, and leave it to him to get stuck with him alone. Pirato looked around drunkenly and gulped a bit, though it was inaudible to the other male. He stood, he sort of swayed but he got his barings rather quickly. "Of course not. Why would I be lost? I was laying here quite content" He asked. He didnt step closer, he was smarter than that, but he did feel the need to be a smartass. Princess_Feylin "Just wondering how stupid you actually are," Aesir said. In truth, he was less interested in how stupid Pirato might be than he was in how easy he might be to knock over and rob. The clearing obviously wouldn't do for a place to make camp for the night, so he'd have to continue looking, but there was no harm in picking up a bit of booty while he was looking. If he could do so with minimal effort, anyway. "Tell me, do you do this sort of thing often?" He hadn't meant to ask, but the idiocy of it just annoyed him too much to contain it. "Because if you do, I really don't see how you could have survived to adulthood."

Buffy_the_Bloody Pirato looked around to make sure he was the one being spoken to and rolled his eyes when he realized it was. Great. The answer to the others questions were simple.. He looked at him as if it was obvious and just shook his head. "Pirate." He said in a tone as if the other should have figured it out. That was why he had survived, that was why he could do what he did. He was a pirate, and he had pirate blood. He was bred to be a survivor, if not a close call survivor. Sometimes it was dangerous being him, but he usually prevailed in his quests. He saw the other eyeing his effects, and he looked at the other with a serious gaze. "Sticks and stones mate.. Sticks and stones." He said, waving his paw as if it was floating away in the wind. Then he looked back at the male, before clearing his throat. Princess_Feylin Aesir cocked his head to one side. He didn't see why the red lion was looking at him as though he were the one who was cracked in the head. Actually, yes he did. He was drunk, and he was obviously one of those lions who was a stupid drunk. That didn't take a whole lot of guessing to figure out. His next words - word, really, since there was only the one - did require a bit more thinking. "Pirate," he repeated disbelievingly. "What, by the Stormlords' balls, do you mean by that?" He found it very, very hard to believe that anyone so slovenly could possibly be a pirate, which seemed like the sort of thing which should be similar to the Stormborn, but if this was what a pirate was like, that was clearly not the case. Hugely unimpressive, and an idiot. There wouldn't be any honor and glory in beating someone like this in combat.

Buffy_the_Bloody Obviously this guy just didnt get it. Hadnt he heard of the infamy of the pirates in the area? Apparently not. He groaned.. He didnt really want to explain it, he wanted to laze around and enjoy himself. He wasnt enjoying this conversation..Though he hardly enjoyed any conversation that wasnt with a female he could flirt with, or someone telling him what an awesome captain he made. Pirato was a glutton for praise, t hough if he didnt receive it, it didnt affect him much. "I could ask the same of a Stormborn, mate. What is a Stormborn? And are ye sure they have balls?" He asked. Sure now he was being an a**.. It was bound to happen, he was actually lucky he hadnt done it earlier. "A pirate pillages, plunders, ravages and robs the lands. Hes a very, very bad egg." He said, nodding dramatically. Princess_Feylin Aesir was almost positive he was being teased, though given his estimation of the red lion's intelligence it was possible he was actually ignorant. Either way, he was incredibly increasingly unimpressed with him, but unable to resist rising to the bait Pirato put out there. "Like coconuts made of stone," Aesir replied archly. He was controlling his temper because it was said that the gods looked out for fools and drunkards. Such had never been his experience, but he guessed there might be a first time for everything. But then, it could just be that everyone thought as he did and so didn't damage them. "You know, I doubt you could do any of those things in your current state. Except perhaps resemble a bad egg. You don't smell so sweet, in case you were unaware."

Buffy_the_Bloody When he said Stormborn had balls like coconuts made of stone, (whatever the hell a stormborn actually WAS) he snorted. Looking at him in mock concern he spoke in all seriousness. "If thats the case, mate..Id imagine thatd hurt quite alot." He responded. Likely wasnt what Aesir was expecting.. But Piratos only predictable nature was flight. Unless he had organized the raid, and was on the offensive, he would flee. It was just the way he was. He sniffed around him and grimaced a bit. Yeah he imagined he didnt smell too great, but then again none of the pirates did. He wasnt someone to impress another, so smelling badly didnt really phase him. He shrugged it off and spoke again. "Quite the contrary. I resemble nothing of an egg." He said, raising his eyebrow. Was this lion stupid? He most definitely resembled a lion.. He was no where near an egg! Princess_Feylin "Not so much. Or maybe it does, and we just don't notice. Pain is nothing to a Stormborn Reaver." It could have gone bullying or boasting, and apparently Aesir's brain had decided to go with boasting. That was probably better for Pirato, who undoubtedly would have been rent and torn to bits if Aesir's brain had gone the other direction. "I disagree. You smell and you're cracked. Very, very egglike."

Buffy_the_Bloody Okay there came that word again and he frowned. He may not understand much but that didnt make other things he didnt know any less frustrating. "What the 'ell is a Stormborn? Is it anything like a lion? Because id hope so.. Otherwise you make very little sense." He said, fully aware it was he who made no sense. Pirato failed at that on numerous occasions. But he didnt care. He didnt need others to understand him..in fact it was probably a good thing. "You should enjoy the fine things the lands have to offer too, mate. Leavin' it all for e'eryone else." He scoffed. Princess_Feylin Aesir growled low in his chest, incredibly frustrated with the idiot in front of him. It wasn't any sort of threatening sound. At least, it wasn't intended as one. It was just a release of his exasperation. "The Stormborn are lions descended from storm gods. They're Freeborn and Reavers, and their Priestesses can see into the future and make charms for protection. Their laws were handed down through generations from their god ancestors. They're also fierce warriors," Aesir explained. It didn't seem like the moron had heard of the pride, which was something of a surprise, given his present location was well within usual Stormborn viking territory, and would continue to ask until Aesir explained. So he had, and he'd put it as simply as he could think to. "I do enjoy the fine things the lands have to offer. I just tend to take the best for myself and my pride. It's only fitting, after all. The right of might."

Buffy_the_Bloody "Ahh.." To be honest the long line of family and honor seemed a tad boring. He could never have done that.. though it didnt help his future at all that he had been raised by a pirate king. Master to all pirates, he was the one they looked upto. When he had died, Pirato had taken the crown. He wore it loosely though as he tended to do what he pleased, more than what his father had set aside for him to do. Life was more about him now, than it had been before. But he was still a drunkkard, no matter what his position was in the pride. That would never change. "Sounds.. fun." He said though he meant not a word of it. He licked his teeth in a nervous gesture, and raised his eyebrows. "Then you know what its like, to be pirate." He said, using Pirate as something you could be, over what you were called. Princess_Feylin Aesir shrugged, settling the pelt across his shoulders more comfortably. He didn't usually bedeck himself in so much stuff when he was viking, but the band had decided it might make more of an impression if they all garbed themselves in their spoils, and Aesir was fine going along with that. He kind of liked showing off his prowess, since everything he wore was something he had won in combat. "It certainly can be," he answered with a sharp-toothed grin. "Particularly when it gives me the opportunity to show people with big heads that they don't deserve to be so well thought of. But if you are a pirate, it is nothing like being a pirate." He had missed the distinction Pirato was making, assuming the missing article came from his drunkenness. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't liken me to people like you. It's more than a little insulting, and I'm trying to come up with reasons why I shouldn't just kick your sorry a** and make you a Thrall. So far what's protecting you is the possibility I'll come away smelling like you if I touch you."

Buffy_the_Bloody He supposed he should thank heavens for small favors. At least he smelled enough to keep the viking at bay. He didnt like however, being called insulting but he supposed it was true. He wasnt a fine citizen, and more than one creature had found him foul and left. He raised an eyebrow, as if he realized what Aesir said was true. "Then its good we dont talk 'bout the likes of it, aye?" He asked, speaking of his stench and being made into whatever the hell a Thrall was. Pirato was losing his good mood, and was becoming increasingly annoyed by the male. He would have rather he left, because the pirate was having a hell of a time not staring at his pelt upon his back. "Ah then you feel ye are better than a pirate. Strong words, dont know how true." He responded, looking away rather snobbishly. Princess_Feylin "I am better than a pirate," Aesir asserted. "And, somehow, I'm really not afraid to say so." The Reaver honestly saw a huge difference between the viking the Stormborn did and whatever sort of piracy the red lion in front of him engaged in. Particularly since he'd only shown himself so far to be a lazy, smelly, smart-assed drunk. If anyone were to point out a resemblence between Aesir and Pirato, the Stormborn would have killed them for it. "Look, I've got things to be doing, and you are foul and stupid. I'm leaving, and luckily for you, I'm not going to waste my time on you any more. Have a nice life."

Buffy_the_Bloody He chuckled, and bowed his head a bit. "Glad I could make your acquaintance.." He said, a smile on his maw even if he was being completely sarcastic. He had far better things to do, and this Stormborn as he was selfcalled, had ruined a quite relaxing evening. "Hope you find what it is you are looking f'r." He said with a nod, and decided to abandon his area of occupancy. Hed find somewhere else, closer to his friends, and closer to the safety of the crew.
