Hybrids were interesting to Los. They were blends of various felines, and he had a hard time telling just what kind of feline they were. He could tell a hybrid from a purebred, of course, and would always stare a bit longer than was probably polite. They were just so...fascinating! Weird, strange, but fascinating.
Here with the Nergui, though, he wasn't allowed to show that fascination. Here they were looked down upon. Here he had to treat them with disdain. That was fine, of course. He was, at his core, a very go with the flow kind of hyena. As long as he prospered from the results, he was happy with it. And so far the Nergui hadn't steered him wrong. This was why, as he patrolled the lands for sport, he paused when he saw a lone female...something. Large, so probably part lion.
Los debated with himself for a few minutes on what to do. Should he go an question the female just for fun? See how hybrids worked? Or rough her up a bit? He had no idea of her relations to the Oma, but if he had that might have changed his decision. He had no fear of the powerful lions in charge, but he did have respect.
"You!" he called out, his voice a bit of a bark. "Stop right there!"

Los trotted over to the female, tail held high, ears perked, all signs of dominance on display. He wasn't sure if there were others around, but already he had put aside his curious questions and had adopted a true Nergui stance. This was a half-breed, impure and disgusting. She could stand to be roughed up a bit, that much was certain.
"You can help me by getting on the ground and shutting up," Los snapped, strong jaws making a formidable sound as teeth met teeth. "State your name and rank if you wish to remain unharmed." Lions were big and had power, but hyenas were quick, cunning, and a force to be reckoned with. Why else would the pride allow them access? Their jaws could crush skulls, and that was an impressive feat. He knew a few hyenas that had ambushed and killed lions in their day.
"Quickly, now. I haven't got all day!"

He was circling and her heart was pounding and she wondered whether, one day, this would be how she died. Cowering on the ground, submissive and pathetic, before teeth opened up her throat and she was bleeding out all around.
"Because." She started, her voice quavering. She paused, cleared her throat, and tried again: "Because she is my aunt. We joined together and out of respect for her, the Nergui allowed me to live." It had never been done before, or so she had been led to believe. But they had wanted her aunt desperately. She'd seen the gleam in their eyes when they realised the truth of her past.
Very few would have been able to stay a Nergui's paw. But her aunt had done that.
"You only need to look upon her to know the truth, s-sir. We look very much alike."

Los snarled quietly, his hackles raising as Ilizi spoke. Her aunt? What a likely story. He couldn't verify if she was telling the truth, though, since he was still so new. Rather than making a huge mistake and attacking her, he decided to hold the growing urge to bite and rip an tear.
"It would do you well to not speak to superiors in that tone," he growled. "You're acting very bold, and that does not suit you well. If I find out you have lied to me to escape some kind of punishment, you can bet I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb."
Los was usually a very level headed hyena, but once he got upset, he lost his hold on himself and became a demon.
