Fantasy RP In the Heart of the Pridelands (Rhys)

[FaeWhisperer]

She paused in her sorting and flicked her tail lowly, “I’m aware Fox- just because you go out and find someone doesn’t mean you can’t return,” she shakes her head going to lap at some of the water from the hole that was near their den. She panted softly and laid down next to him, grooming her paw next and rubbing it on her face.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

He watches her, "I'm not leaving. What if I find someone who doesn't want to come back with me? Then I'd be torn in half." He closes his eyes, "Being single, and slowly forever is perfectly fine with me as long as I can make sure you're safe."

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She sighed and glanced over to him, “You’re so stubborn,” she shakes her head, flicking her tail lowly. She looked over the rest of the camp, watching the hunting party go out now, and she knew she would probably have to eat soon.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Fox purrs, "You love it, Chick." He stands and pads over, licks the top of her head and then looking towards her finished work.

"What do you want to eat? I can get it for you if you want."

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“Nothing too big, I don’t care what it is,” she tells him, flicking her ears after the lick on the top of her head. She flopped over to her side, her ears flicking a bit more as flies buzzed around her. Her eyes watched the camp and she saw some returning mothers with their cubs, they had been out teaching them basic survival skills. She was happy the cubs that had been born were healthy- and she watched them tumble and play fight, making her purr lowly.

She was thankful she wouldn’t have any cubs, although for a bit she had wished she didn’t do what she did a few moons back, making herself completely sterile, but it was for the best in her opinion. She had everything she could ask for, she didn’t want anything else.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Fox nods and gets up, padding to the pile. After a moment he picked up a smaller rabbit and carried it back. It was more like a bunny in his eyes, but it was whatever.

He sets it down and yawns, looking over his shoulder at the rest of the camp

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Ambermoon thanked him and began to eat, she didn’t want much honestly, she wasn’t too hungry— this if anything was just a snack to her. She finished it quite quickly and she licked her maw clean of blood. “Are you going to eat something?” She asked as she cleaned her teeth with her tongue.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Fox sakes his head, "I'm fine, thanks." He stands, then stretches, yawning widely.

"I'm going to go nap."

He flicks his tail once and turns, walking back outside and shaking his fur again.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She watched him get up and pad away, she flicked her ear and she yawned herself, before flopping over to her side and closing her eyes. She figured a nap would be a good thing for her too.
—
Therin yawned as he stretched out, it was another hot day, and he wondered if they should retire in their den for the time being. He looked over at Cylvie.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Fox makes it to his nest in the den and flops onto his side, closing his eyes and passing out.

~~~

Cyilve was absently batting her paw at a stray piece of grass, chirping quietly.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Therin gave a soft chuff at Cylvie and tilts his head. “You okay?” He asked.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

She blinks ad looks up at him, "Oh- yeah. We all have to embrace the child in us every once in a while, yeah?" Her green gaze flicks back to the piece of grass and she chirps again, pouncing onto it.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Therin sat back and watched her, “Mm..you do have a point” he agreed and then looked around to see the others gather and retire into the den for the time being.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

She looks at him, her tail swaying side to side. She sits up, puffing out her chest and watches him, "We can find somewhere a little more private to sleep, if you want. Just me and you again."

She nuzzles his shoulder before standing and walking to the kill pile.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

(It’s one large shared den- like in the lion king lol)

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

(I haven't seen that movie in years- I'll change it. But. Thought you mentioned at one point the leader did have a separate den-)

 

[FaeWhisperer]

XD hmm I couldve, I have a bad memory- let me relook through the thread again)

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

(so do I, it's cool)

 

[FaeWhisperer]

At the end of the day he eventually retired to the den where they all shared, but he didn’t mind sleeping where Marcus had. He had mentioned that in the morning he would choose his deputy as the one they did have went with Marcus as they left.

I guess he sleeps in a place where Marcus- the previous pride leader had slept (like a raised rock from everyone else?)

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

(okay, makes sense,lemme edit rq)
(Done)

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Cylvie would see Therin tilt his head at her, “We could,” he mentioned to her next with a flick of his tail, “But I don’t mind sleeping with everyone else,” he tells her next, wondering what she was getting at.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

She stares at him for a moment before shrugging, "If that's what you really want." She purrs softly before padding to the den, tail swaying slightly.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Therin was a bit confused, and he watched her pad away, her tail swinging slightly. But no matter, he didn’t really think too much of it, before he padded after her, soon climbing the slightly elevated rock in the middle of their pride, who were all in here to take their afternoon nap. He circled around a bit before plopping down to lay in the nest there.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

She jumps up beside him, shifting into her human form before practically laying on top of him and snuggling close. "You're cute when you're confused. I might do it a bit more often."

She laughs softly and runs her hand through his fur.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Therin raised his head to look at her and he huffs gently, “Mm..confuse me? Well..it certainly doesn’t take much to confuse me..” he joked out, loving how she laid on top of him. It felt very nice.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

She laughs and snuggles close to him, "Oh, I know." She grins and then hides her face into his mane, relaxing into him slowly.

"Now shush, go to sleep."

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Therin didn’t have to be told twice- and so he yawned, blinking slowly before he laid his head down. He closed his eyes and began to drift off to sleep.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Cyilvie snuggled into him, enjoying being close and warm. She loved the feeling of the others fur against her skin. She keeps her face pressed into his mane, her fingers idly playing with a strand as she slowly starts to doze off into a light sleep

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Therin woke up a bit slowly after a few moments, giving a soft yawn when he did. He looked over to see if Cylvie was still asleep or if she had woke up by now.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Cylvie was still sleeping, snuggling into Therin and nestles into his fur. She squeaks softly in her sleep, her fingers curling slightly into his flank. She grumbles, curling up.
