Welcome to Gaia! ::

Navalin was not in a good mood. She was trying to be productive but her scouting was turning up nothing. No male threats, no strange things going on and so she was quickly getting bored with her watch. She was much too stubborn to get distracted from her watch, but she was still bored and so her mood was quickly going sour. She wanted so badly to do something, to fight something off, to go spar with one of the other females, something. Heck, she would have just liked having someone to talk to to pass the time.

Navalin gave a grumpy huff and flopped on her butt to sit and watch around her. She would go back to her pacing in a bit. She needed a few moments to grouse to herself about how today was just horrible. It had started out that way and was just getting worse by the moment! She needed something to do to keep her mind off everything, and her job just was not providing that today. It was an all around aggravating situation and the green lioness had a very short temper for it right now.

Navalin kept sweeping her gaze this way and that while she sat. She would not fail in her task no matter her mood. She took notice of the bird swooping around in the sky but did not pay it too much mind. Bird were common enough to see and not any real danger to the pride, so the lioness' gaze went back down to the sea of green and gold before her. The green lioness stood up on her hide legs for a moment as something caught her attention. She could not quite see it sitting down or even standing on four paws.

With the extra height, Navalin got a good look at what was coming through the grass. It was a lion... a male lion. She gave a moody little growl and put her front paws back on the ground. Stupid males invading her pride's turf! She was not going to attack him outright if she didn't have to but she certainly would warn him off. She could not have some pesky male causing problems. "Halt Male, you are not welcome here. Take your useless hide elsewhere." He might be there to offer himself for cubs, but if he was, the lioness was not sure she wanted to know. It was more fun to chase him off.

Navalin rolled her eyes as the male spoke. Was he an idiot? She might blend in but what did he think that nobody was around to challenge him? Well, he was a male, so she should expect such stupidity. It did NOT make it excusable, but she should expect it, regardless. She scooped up a rock from nearby and rose back up on her hind paws, flinging the rock at the male. "All YOU need to know is that we do not welcome MALES here. Unless you are offering yourself for breeding, I suggest you go elsewhere to search for your ingredients." She huffed but stayed stretched up this time so that she could be seen easier over the grass.

Navalin was not amused, but she could not let this male out of her sight now. He had not decided to retreat, so she would make herself very visible and try to scare him off. His plea about his pride finding him useful should have moved her, but all it really did was make her not want to fight him. The last thing her pride needed was trouble. Although, really she should be looking for a potential male to sire cubs at some point, and she had already made a suggestion about him offering for breeding. She had a mate now and should think about strong daughters for them to raise. That little thought did give the lioness pause, and she started eyeing the male a bit more closely.

Navalin humphed at the little bird. It did not bother her in the least, and she just put her front paws back on the ground to get more comfortable. At least the BIRD was female. "What use could you possibly have for a male? They are stupid, blundering creatures, most of them not even fit for siring daughters." The green lioness truly believed that too. She really was quite the bigoted creature against males, but she could not bring herself to take something that was useful to another female if the other female was no threat to the pride. This bird was definitely no threat to the pride.

Navalin should have laughed at the bird's offer, but she did not. She had just gotten herself a mate, made it all official, and well, the green lioness knew that her new mate would like cubs. This would allow them to have them rather quickly without one of the lionesses having to leave to find a male. As much as she hated the idea of being with any male, it had it's uses. "Three days is a long time to let him so close to the pride... I will consider it for a price. He must take any male cubs with him. I do not want stuck with sons." Her mate would not protest boys, but this lioness was not ready for the idea of dealing with males of her own blood. Her brothers had been more than enough.

Navalin scoffed at the question the bird posed. "Our pride does not FEAR males. We just do not tolerate them in our lands. Technically he is still in the borders, so I guess I can let him hunt for his bugs as longs you two keep your end of the bargain. Three days is not so long, and if he is as interested in other things as you say, I do hope he has the focus for producing cubs." The lioness was starting to relax. This male was no threat, and apparently simple minded enough to be tolerable. He was not the cunning, crafty trickster her twin brothers had been. It made him acceptable for now.

"I think it will be best to start on this early... I want to make sure I have cubs from this. He has a pride to help him care for the boy cubs, so I do not have to worry about that." As much as Navalin hated males, she could not have brought herself to just abandon her own cubs outside the pride even if they were male. And if this male would not have been fit to be a father, she would have kept them. But he had a pride to help and he did not seem so bad now that she could see him a bit better. Besides, he cared for this little bird, so that had to count for something.
