[With or without Zjarri`fols help Sadhbh was going to track down Sabia`deimos and attempt to get the truth about a few things. The curious lioness might have bitten off more than she could chew, but Zjarri joins in to tug at Sabias leash.]

Sadhbh hada brief argument with Zjarri which was barely worth noting - especially since the outcome was going to end in her favor. When the purple lioness had approached the blue one she had inquired about the crimson lioness and failed at truly getting any form of information. "How could a lioness consider this individual who right hand when she knows nothing about her?" Why Sadhbh felt so passionate about this was beyond anyone's comprehension because even she couldn't understand it.
Finally, though she hadn't waited very long to find the crimson, she spied her in the distance dawdling about while speaking to others. The term speaking was very generalized as it seemed, as Sadhbh got closer, that Sabia was merely nodding at others as they passed by. Even as the purple lioness approached and made it clearly obvious she wasn't going anywhere she got the same treatment. "Excuse me.. Sabia, Sabia`deimos?" She inquired, blue eyes on the mask and pelt - the items seemed to suit the lioness even more so with the rumors fluttering about regarding the old Captain for Zjarris group.
"My name is Sadhbh and I wanted to ask you a couple things if you'd be okay with that?" Her words were kind, her tone however was not and although she wasn't out right rude or pushy she wasn't going to back down. This didn't startle Sabia, but instead intrigued her.

Zjarri didn't catch her in time. "Damn it." Had she known what a loose cannon Sadhbh was she'd have not answered a damned question and instead would have allowed for the lioness to muddle on in mystery - instead she had allowed her into a small circle of trust, the smallest level and here she was trying to defend something that didn't need defending. As she approached the scene she made the choice to stay back at first, not joining the pair immediately and staying out of immediate sight - there was no reason to intervene if everything stayed civil.
"What are you doing Sadhbh?" The blue lioness knew what she needed to know about her right hand. The crimson lioness was allowed her secrets and as such Zjarri had decided to leave it alone, and of course she should have realized that not all lions could just leave things be - especially considering how juicy the story might be. Heck if things remained civil and Zjarri didn't have to interject she'd be incredibly happy and maybe even learn a thing or two.
But watching the way Sabias face contorted at the question Zjarri knew she wouldn't be leaving this alone, not for long.

"Hm?" The crimson lioness, intrigued as she had been, grew a touch grumpy at the interruption of her Captain - this was all extremely unexpected. "Well, you've already asked one question.. what could a couple more do?" Her golden eyes narrowed darkly at the lioness that seemed to be trying to portray a larger creature than what she truly was and sill none of it was effecting Sabia.
"Did you have anything in particular that you wanted to discuss?" Of course she already had an idea, but most just left the story alone and allowed the rumors to flit about without a care in the world - which lead her to believe that the lioness before her was either new or just to curious for her own good. Seeing how she pushed the attitude she'd have to guess 'to curious'. "Sadhbh." The lioness said the name as though she were tasting it, she also assumed that if Zjarri knew the name that meant they'd spoken prior to this - hm.
"Is it the pelt? The mask?" She asked, an eerie grin splitting her lips to reveal her pearly whites that almost appeared to be sharpened naturally. All while speak she'd rolled her shoulders and raised a paw, revealing one claw she adjusted her mask slightly.

"First." Sadhbh began by speaking, dropping her rump and raising a paw to address her first question with a raised toe. "How did Zjarri become Captain?" This question would raise other questions, she knew this already and yet she asked it this way on purpose. The way the lioness answered the question would tell her more than she needed to know and would make her pushy if she needed to be.
"Secondly." Her next toe bounced up at her second question, she didn't even give the lioness a chance to respond to her first question and made it abundantly clear that she wanted to get her questions out so Sabia could respond, hopefully in order - Sadie had a fantastic memory so she'd be able to tell. "Where did you get your adornments? If you bring them up then I'm sure there is a story." The purple lioness did have an in - in a way - she knew that Sabia wasn't born here, which means that she had plenty of outside experience beyond the typical reaver, intriguing to think about.
"Third." Another toe, a sneer to follow as she continued on. "Where did you come from?" This was another question that was vague, but the answer would give more answers and that's what she desired above all else. These would be the lioness' she was going to work with and she wanted some clarity even if her own past wasn't as incredible or dramatic, leave that the drama queens.
Her eyes caught sight of the look on Zjarris face, one that had gone from shock, concern and all the way to a silent rage. Had she pressed some buttons?

The emotions were riding high on the blue lioness, this could go a couple ways and majority of the time these types of conversations ended in a physical fight - one of which she didn't need between her right hand and the likes of this lioness. Zjarri wasn't concerned for Sabias safety, but more so for the safety of a future reaver in her band - if they all ran about beating up on each other that just wouldn't do.
Still, she kept her lips sealed and tried desperately to mask her emotions, that didn't last long as she heard the questions Sadhbh had to ask - had to. Her pink eyes began to narrow as the lioness spoke and she found herself growing angry at the violation of privacy - one that Zjarri held dear, but no one truly knew about. Perhaps that should become a members vow? The idea was one she'd have to consider later and offer for her future members.
All of that in mind she wasn't particularly prepared for Sabia to actually answer them and so when the crimson lioness stood in silence to begin addressing the questions she was startled to a degree.

Sabia`deimos didn't often stand for much, but this seemed like a good moment to do just that and she even turned to pace thoughtfully as though she had to think on the answers, but there wasn't much in the way of thinking, more so appreciating the memories.
"First." A small smirk creeped along her lips as she raised a paw to mock the purple lioness' method of breaking up the questions. At first she grew silent, allowing the lioness before her to wait with a bitter look upon her face that made Sabia that much more giddy. "Well.. the Captain died and Zjarri earned her place as the new Captain, silly." She flicked her paw in a dramatic manner and left her answer at that.
"Secondly." A toe bounced up while following suit with her mocking, now she'd ceased her pacing and settled down into a spot again. "There is always a story, and one worth telling I'd might add, but only if you earn that right - which I shouldn't have to tell you that demanding it doesn't mean you've earned it." Her golden eyes narrowed at the lioness and a frown replaced the smile.
"Third.. well third is a special question. One that most wouldn't consider asking because of the rumors." Her ears twitched slightly, the memories outside of her time with the Stormborn were a little more tainted with several different things.. which included a love lost, pride lost and children scattered in the roguelands. Not to mention a father with more problems than a father should likely have - her mood darkened.
"Would you.. like a chance to earn the answers to these questions?"
Only one thing would cheer her up, that'd be some blood shed.

Sadies own eyes narrowed as the responses grew more and more vague each time around, the whole endeavor grew unsatisfying - that was until the crimson lioness suggested earning the stories, which in a Stormborn way, was fair. It wasn't like the lioness was a bard by any means and so storytelling was not part of her duty.
"Fine." She answered, which received a sharp glance from the blue lioness that had made a point of stepping nearly in between the pair of them with a stern look upon her face that said if they started something they better be prepared to deal with additional consequences. "What do you suggest? A duel per question?" Her adrenaline was pumping furiously and she felt as though she were on top of the world - this was her type of dealings, so in a way she grew fond of Sabia.
"Or one duel for all?" The one duel for all method was usually a safe bet, it meant spending more time lounging about until the next Viking and less time trying to kill one another before they get a chance to see some freedom outside of the pride and hopefully deep in riches. "What do you say?"

It was clear that she wasn't going to be able to interfere enough to stop the snow ball effect that was happening. This was going to end in a duel, the challenge was out there and the terms were set. She'd seen this before and so it wasn't a new concept, but she wished her team would remember they are one team and not a group of randoms that can just battle to the finish. Then again these were Vikings of the Stormborn which made them susceptible to these kind of things.
Zjarri did give a look to both of them, one that Sabia would immediately recognize as a 'do it at your own risk' kind of look and she made a point of coming between them. The blue lioness was well aware that the crimson lioness would likely win and so she didn't worry so much about that, but she was concerned that Sadie would keep coming to try and rip that story from the others chest if she needed to.
"So long as you set rules." Were her final words before she left the pair of them to their dealings.

"Just what the priestess ordered!"
The prescription was ideal, the terms were fair and she was definitely interested a one duel for all kind of stake. "One duel. You get all of the stories, IF you win." Her mouth formed around the word if and stressed the sound of it. Her tone was eager though, a challenge was always readily accepted by the crimson lioness and it amused her to no end that someone desired her origin enough to fight for a piece of it.
"We can meet in the training arenas, so we duel around some others that are at your own caliper." She smirked, sniping the purple lioness that had decided to stand at the last minute and snarl. The reaction was precisely what Sabia was seeking. It seemed the purple lioness before her reacted to quickly to things instead of thinking them through calmly. This is where Sabias age and experience would keep her above the other in a sense - it wasn't often that those things came in handy.
"See you then."
Then the crimson lioness turned tail and wandered towards her den for a nap.
