Iaeratu couldn't believe it when she'd heard. A female had been taken in as a new slave. Sure, slaves were pretty common, but what had really frustrate the huntress was who had taken in the slave. Ligi Jabari. Of course, most people weren't aware of his name while they were gossiping, so they just flashed his mother's name around, and the fact he was paler than his brothers, apparently. But Iaeratu had known who they were talking about.
Of course it would be Jabari. The jerk. How could he do that to a harmless female? Trespassing or not, she should have been left to roam out.
Iaeratu would deny that she was in fact looking for the jerk of a Ligi, she was merely out hunting, but her eyes glanced around to see if she could spot his familiar bulk. She could. He was resting on a rock - just another reason why Ligi were useless. They were lazy.
Her eyes narrowed.
"Ligi Jabari," she called out, keeping her voice polite, but her eyes were narrowed. Why was she confronting him? Because someone had to tell the jerk what a jerk he was, and he had yet to kill her for her previous outbursts of speaking out of turn, so maybe he would forgive her chastising.

She reared back as if struck at his whispered words. If anyone else saw her yelling at him like she was, then she would likely be killed - and him punished. Her eyes grew guarded and she stifled her rage, listening to him rant over how the female had deserved it.
He always seemed like two different people. An actual likeable male, and then the jerk Ligi that he actually was.
"A life in lush captivity is still captivity," she said quietly, simply to him, her eyes dark. She wasn't merely talking about being a slave. The whole pride was captivity, under Shahen's rule. She couldn't imagine bringing another life into this pride, not while things were in such a disarray. "It's another mouth to feed." She said louder, so that her annoyance at him would seem justified, a lack of food was always a possibility.

"Sounds more like a Ligi than a huntress," she said sweetly, her eyes still showing her annoyance. She knew she should leave, before she struck out verbally again and got herself, and him, into trouble.
"But I will look into it, Ligi Jabari," she said stiffly, and bowed her head to him, as if out of respect. It wasn't, and she had a feeling he knew that. "No one should be doing less than their fair share of the work."
