Another day, another shift. Laertes was settling himself at one of his favorite spots near the border. It was high ground and had a pretty good view of the surrounding area, the perfect place to do his job. Of course, later he’d patrol the lands assigned to him and make sure everything was clearly marked and that no trespassers had dared to cross the line but for now, the young Guard was greeting the new day with a content yawn and thinking about what he’d do after his shift was over. Even though he was still rather new to the pride, Laertes was lucky enough to have made a few good friends in the dodgy circles of the upper class. One of his fellow Guards had even lent him a bird, his own companion apparently, in case he neede to send a message back quickly. Laertes was quite happy about that.
Suddenly, something caught his attention. Movement. Something bright. Someone bright. There was a lion, white as snow, moving closer to his location. The purple and black lion stood up and watched the stranger with keen eyes.

It seemed the other lion hadn’t noticed him yet. Laertes took a few quick steps towards the white shape, quickly bridging the distance between them.
“Oi!” he called out rather loudly, hoping the other would stop. To be honest, being new to the pride, Laertes couldn’t exactly boast of having a lot of experience as a Guard. No bnasty encounters with rogues or anything like that and his shifts had mostly consisted of greeting the various Merchants he was starting to recognize. But he didn’t know this lion and he needed to make sure he wasn’t a threat to the Suka’Fumo and all of those who resided within its borders. Still, it seemed the lion was coming from inside the pride lands so he should make sure he wasn't a pride member before acting.
“Morning, friend. I’m Laertes, one of the new Guards. I’m afraid I don’t know you yet.” As he drew nearer, he watched the other lion carefully. Completely white but with purple eyes, ironically enough. If the eyes were the window to the soul, did that mean this fellow had a very noble soul?
