Re: [Ch01,Battle] Riverside Ruckus [Post-Battle RP]
The Kityans cried out in terror and fear, their hands going for their ears as the folded over and curled up. The Panthers quickly put their hands over their ears and grimaced at the ferocious roar. The Lionesses had been quick to cover their ears, knowing full well what was coming. The Cheetah messenger cried painfully while covering his ears, surprised by the roar. Rajak let out a growling groan, more annoyed and bothered by the interruption of his conversation with the messenger than anything else, but still covered his ears as she turned enough to shoot Ryxis a quick glance, to see what the Tiger was up to.
The Tigresss that had given in grimaced, but beared with it. The other Tigress snarled defiantly, teeths baring and eyes narrowing. At least he had her attention now, instead of the surrendering sister, and as he called her out on her whining, she growled, and shakily began to rise to her feet. "Don't, Sister, please sto-", she was cut off quickly, "I will not stay, I will not be silent, but I am not stupid; I will fight you, but not today...", the defiance shone clearly in the Tigress eyes, and while there was still fire in her eyes, it was little more than embers right now. "Call me weak, call me a coward, but I will NOT follow you, I will NOT be taught by you! Always people like you tell us that there is more to learn, always more to be taught! Fine, teach my sister, but I will learn my own way!", she growled again, and gave her sister a scornful look, and the other Tigress gave a saddened one in return.
The Tigress turned back to Ryxis, a quiet growl still in her throat. "We already have a home, and if my sister is so eager to come with you to yours, so eager to leave us, then you can have her for all I care! I will not follow her, and I will not follow YOU!", the Tigress growled the last word out and aloud, and wouldn't wait for Ryxis response, instead looking over towards the smaller Felyns she had fought together with, the Kityans still cowering, while the Pantheresses had a look of defeat, of failure, to them. "We'll go home, we won't make a fuss, you defeated us... But they will walk on their own, not be dragged or carried. Nor will I be treated that way.", the Tigress spat the words out, she wasn't happy about their defeat, but she showed little intent continue fighting.
As the Tigress, the Kityans and the Panthers slowly got to their feet and began heading off, Rajak would call out, "Let them go, we got better things to do than babysit them. We've done our part.", That was all that they had been out to take care of after all, to bring in some rascals, have them return to the pridegrounds, the large settlement off in the distance.
With the defiance mostly crushed and most of the young Felyns spirits shattered, unless Ryxis tried to stop the Tigress, despite Rajak's orders, the defiant Tigress, the Kityans and Panthers would begin limping their way home, but not before shooting another scornful look in his and her sisters direction. The sister that sat limply near Ryxis had tears forming in her eyes, but she didn't utter a word, she only stared after her parting sister. Tigers that didn't get along rarely stuck together, and once they parted ways, it was a rare thing that they'd ever walk down the same path ever again, and it would appear that Ryxis and his offer had been what split their paths.
If things would go smoothly, Rajak would groan and slowly shake his head. As Gahman teased about the old Lion needing more luck than they did however, his lips formed a wry smile. "I think you'll be needing the luck, Gahman. Because while I am gone, Ryxis will be in command.", the Lion set his eyes upon the Tiger, a stern one. "That is not to say he can do whatever he pleases, I hope you all will be able to work together, for despite his tendencies to drink, his heart is in the right place, and despite his looks, he ain't quite as dense as the Rhodons are. As stubborn as one, sure, but not as dense. And that is why I put my trust in him as the leader. Can I trust this task to you, Ryxis?", Rajak dismissed the messenger with a casual wave of his hand as he began walking over towards the large Tiger, intending to discuss the task at hand by the looks of it, and the Cheetah male blinked a little, briefly looking over to Kachende and Gahman, then the others of the group, and unless stopped would simply turn and run back to the settlement.
