Welcome to Gaia! ::

The dark rock he lay upon was wet. Why he had lain here he really didn't know. He supposed it was purely because his mother was encouraging her children to get out of her den, it wasn't that hard to want to leave, though his mothers den was large, due to her immense size, with nine adolescents and three adults in there it was becoming a squeeze. His mother, their mother was encouraging them to get out. Get out of course pretty much meant go away and don't come back until you have to. Unfortunately that meant that a percent of the time was spent in the rain. Nymphaea felt that rain was a character builder so getting wet was no big deal. So while he had weathered the brief storm huddled beneath an over hang his fur was damp and he had ultimately decided that chilling out on a rock and sunning his fur dry was a good idea.

The bad idea came when he lay down on this cold, wet rock. He could move, he knew that, he also knew he should move, but at this point, he honestly couldn't be bothered. No wonder his mother didn't expect anything of him, he couldn't even be bothered moving off a cold wet rock. What a distressing thought.

The pale male lifted his soft purple eyes as the dark female approached him. He raised a curious brow, she seemed confused about his position. He was pretty confused himself why he was continuing to sit on this damp rock, the sun was drying his back but that really wasn't helping his belly. He shrugged "I can't be bothered moving?" It was almost a question to himself rather than to the striped female.

She spoke so swiftly it took him a moment to process exactly what it was that she said. Something about finding a captain. She was one of them. He decided his mother would probably like her, his mother liked his sisters much more than her boys, she expected nothing of him or his brothers. "That sounds like an effort." He states quite simply stretching out his paws. "Why do you want to be a reaver?" He yawns widely and shifts himself a little uncomfortably, his belly was still damp, perhaps a bit of movement wouldn't do him any harm. "Steinnar, son of Nympbhaea, its a good day to die." He nods the usual greeting.

Steinnar raised a brow, why was he always surrounded by girls that had to prod him? He lets out a long exasperated breath and rolled to his paws. He stretched out his paws and shakes his fur out feeling the droplets fall from his fur.

Turning his lilac eyed gaze upon the lioness he looks down at her, it was times like this that he really appreciated his firekin heritage, his mother had passed along the giant gene and he was almost the size of an adult even though he was only a young adolescent. He didn't have to take orders from this female and he wasn't in the mood for being bullied by another girl. "Look my mother doesn't expect me to so I don't have to." He snorts taking a few steps away from the striped female, dropping to the ground below the rock he had been lazing upon.

"You have ambition, that's good for you, I am not interested in joining you." He sniffs rolling his large shoulders. "I'm not lazy, I just, don't want to."

The pale male frowned. Why would she say that? Just because his mother preferred his sisters didn't mean she hated them, she just didn't expect anything of them, she still cared for them, she had provided them with Thralls and food and their treasury was always full to the brim. His mother was an excellent provider. He lashes his tail and takes a step away from he striped female, a rumble forming in his chest.

"Just because she doesn't expect me to become a reaver doesn't mean she is lame. It just means I can stay a freeborn and there is nothing wrong with that." He sniffs.

Taking a deep breath the big lion shook his head "It's honestly none of your business if I do."

The white male tilted his head slightly. Taking a deep breath the young male gave a nod. He could at least accept her apology even if she didn't seem to mean it. He knew plenty of pushy females, he had been born in to a family full of them, still he had never met anyone quite so demanding of his time.

Lashing his tail Steinnar looked at the female cautiously, she had so many questions on her mind, it seemed she couldn't keep any of them in her head in fact. Licking his lips he considered how to reply to this particular query. He fared just fine. "I hunt on my own, I provide what I can for my family, I don't need to do anything more."

Rolling his shoulders the young male glanced backwards. "Speaking of, I should really go.." he ignored her other question, he had nothing to do with cubs, they weren't his buisness. "It was uh..interesting to meet you." He manages turning away from her. He was used to pushy females, he just wasn't used to being pushed by them.
