He was disappointed by the hyena, she didn't seem to really be doing anything but sticking with them like this. Her presence was as puzzling as the blue lion's pushiness. The mention of his own children made him turn his attention back to Tomorbaatar, a bit too quickly to hide his thoughts on that. He knew it was very likely he had left Rakt-may with cubs, he felt certain he had now.. but that was just distracting him now.
"No."
Amali could be pushy, too. His mind was made up, he didn't like the way this lion was pressuring him like this when he'd already denied interest or ability. His companion made him nervous, overall he just didn't like it.
"Thank you, but I can satisfy my own curiosity in my own ways," he said, not bothering to mention how uncomfortable it was to wander into the midst of a strange pride. If he wasn't so familiar with the Pridelands and if he didn't have so much family there, he wouldn't have been able to spend the time he did there. He had gone in circles for what seemed an eternity on his name quest but he had stubbornly stuck to the roguelands, crossing borders on purpose only with guides he genuinely trusted- and that had only been the once and it was Rakt-may.

Tomor's strike hit with incredible force and the flailing paws aimed at his paws and stomach were absorbed as he began his attack, He'd be bruised later - no doubt - but this was a matter of honour. He crippled this lion now or he lost him, it was as simple as that. A crippled seer was better than no seer at all. Yes, there'd be complaints, but he could deal with them when the time came.
He would not fail.
His teeth grabbed hold of fur, clenching tight, his head shaking from side to side to tear and rend. He tasted blood, sharp in his mouth, and hissed, trying to pin down the lion's flailing limbs so that he could get a better grip at his throat. But maybe the throat was not the best idea. Could end up, easily, as death and that would be worse than him escaping.
Claws raked, seeking purchase in vulnerable skin lying beneath the fur and as he reached up to strike him across the head - perhaps in hopes to render him unconscious - he was aware of the thudding of paws and realised - to his horror - that the hyena was fleeing.
"No." The word bubbled out of his mouth and suddenly he was wrenching away from Amali and turning to see the hyena quickly disappearing. He had only a few seconds to make up his mind and he knew, in that moment, he could not afford to let the hyena go.
He'd have to hope the damage he had inflicted would be enough.
With a fierce, enraged snarl, he tore off after the hyena.
She had been patient, but her escape attempt would not pay off. Half an hour later and she'd be captured again; facing the fate that Amali had managed to evade.
