 Ariidasa kept her head down and made sure to stay out of the way unless she was spoken too. she was having a bit of a hard time having to adjust to the life of a thrall. so far since she landed herself in this pride, she had yet to really talk to any one unless she really had too. having been a rouge all her life until recent, she was use to being able to avoid interacting with others unless she decided to other wise. but here she kind of had no choice and she was not about to anger someone who was higher rank than thrall. sitting down and in taking a deep breath, she was happy for the moment that she was currently by herself but did not expect that to be for too long seeing as she was now apart of a big pride.

First and foremost, he wanted someone meek. He didn't want to have to go through the trouble and effort of having to break them. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, and it wasn't that it might not be fun, but truth be told he had a job that needed doing now rather than at some later date. So humble and cowed was best for his purposes. What else?
Female. Yes, his thrall should be female. And pretty. No point in having someone around all the time if they weren't easy on the eyes! This also meant excluding the other species. His thrall needed to be a tamed and pretty lioness. Nearly free of his disquieting thoughts, he strode out into the pride to find such a female.
When he came within sight of the dark red lioness, he slowed his pace. Hmm. She held herself like a thrall, to be sure, and was new. He didn't recognize her, which was possibly a good sign that she wasn't claimed yet. With purposeful strides, he headed straight for her.
"You. Who do you belong to?" His tone was stern, but not really overly aggressive... yet. He'd hold back on that sort of thing until he knew if she was right for him, and until she indicated she needed some... convincing.

Arii was not shocked when her alone time was cut short so soon. but was overly shocked when suddenly the male asked if she belonged to anyone. looking to the ground, it was clear she was pretty meek and obedient as she answered in a soft spoken voice. " i belong to no one yet since i am a new thrall to the pride." very respectful, even though all she wanted to do right now was run off and be alone. but she planned to stay put until he was done talking to her and dismissed her or left. " is there anything you need?" it was clear there was a reason he was asking her if she was owned yet and she didn't know if she would like the answer as to way he asked. but she would do whatever he wanted as she was a thrall and he was of higher rank obviously.

He flicked his ears in approval at her spoken attitude. That was definitely what he was looking for. Quiet, willing to serve, but not fearful and cringing. Hmm, this might work out very well indeed. He circled her slowly, noting her distinctive markings and submissive posture. "I need someone to help keep my den neat," he told her firmly, still not with the kind of aggression he was known for. A whisper of reminder of his mother was lingering at the back of his mind, and he felt as if he was being watched and judged on his behavior. It was irritating, but he couldn't help his instinctive attempt to placate that ghost of a memory.
But this was a thrall after all, not a Freeborn, nor a rogue. She had no say in her future... did she? He paused as he circled her, shaking his head hard. What was wrong with him today?! Of course she didn't! He gave himself an all-over shake, frowning with a soft growl, eyes focused inwardly. He had to get a grip! "You will be my personal thrall now," he said a little more harshly. He flicked his ears in sudden thought. "I'll find something that you will have to wear to show you are mine, but later." Yes, that sounded more like the reaver he strove to be.
"Erm... what should I call you?" The question came out more awkward and uncomfortable than demanding, and he nearly face-pawed right then and there. Clearly he was off today. Maybe ordering her around his den might help with this. Maybe. He just wasn't sure of anything at the moment. The sooner he could get this over with and shuffler her off to his den, the sooner he could be done with this whole confusing affair!

Arii was about to respond to him and say she would gladly upkeep his den as he wished, but was caught off guard when he suddenly in a very blunt manner said she was his. "if that is what you wish, i am yours now." she stayed very still while he had circled her and she knew better than to try to get out of being his personal thrall since she had no say in what happened to her now. in this pride when you were a thrall you were stuck as one unless you managed to somehow get to freeborn status which it was clear she was not the type to try to earn her freedom. she might hate being a thrall but she was no fighter what so ever. when he asked what he should call her in a awkward and uncomfortable manner, she was shocked that he had not just demanded it or gave her some name that he wanted to call her. " my name is Ariikdasa or Arii for short if that pleases you." she was starting to feel awkward now since she had avoided long conversations with anyone in the pride after her capture. if anything she wanted to get to the task he wanted done so she could wrap her mind around the fact she now had a master whom she would have to answer to when he decided.

She kept to her demure attitude, which really wasn't helping him whatsoever. If she'd growled or snapped or shown some sort of fight, he could have regained his composure easily by dominating her. It was hard to feel aggressive towards this meek and biddable creature, though, and he was finding it increasingly aggravating. It was more out of exasperation and snippiness than true swagger than he opted to change her name... sort of.
"I will call you Ariika," he Huffed, tail tip lashing in an irritated fashion. If he was smart, he'd abandon this attempt right here and now and get rid of her. He didn't need this kind of confusion in his life! But he couldn't bring himself to change his mind now. He'd claimed her, she was his! He gave another exasperated huff, ears twitching backwards. "Come, I'll show you where you will sleep." Now there was another dangerous topic! Truth of it was, he was quite attracted to her. Perhaps that was the seat of his problem? Regardless, he would resolve it. He had to.
"When you are done with your duties, you can go where you please." His ears pinned back further as he led the way towards his den. That had come out much more kind and permissive than he'd intended. Mostly he meant he didn't want to mess with directing her every move. "Just don't bother me when I am busy," he snapped, pinning her with a baleful glare that somehow lacked any real negative emotion. Augh, what a mess! He just hoped she couldn't tell how soft she was making him!

Arii had no clue the effect she was having on him other than a making him a bit irritable and very annoyed as this was her first encounter with him which had become interesting to say the lest. she made sure to follow but not too closely as she did not want to irritate him even more. "what shall i call you?" having just realized she didn't even know his name, it made her feel even more awkward about being claimed by a male she didn't know til just now. almost holding her breath she realized she probably shouldn't be asking any questions of him but she couldn't help but ask since she needed to know what to say when addressing him.

Already so exasperated at himself, when she asked his question he attempted to explode. He spun around, baring his fangs, and snarled, "I should make you call me Master!" But even as he tried to glare balefully at her, he was completely disarmed by her meek and submissive manner. He felt that flash of shame at himself for treating such a pretty and demure female in such a churlish way. This time he could practically hear his mother gasp his name in shock.
He choked out an odd sound that was part snarl, part whine, part huffing sigh. This was impossible. But overlaid across this lioness' face was his mother's, giving him a reproachful look. Would she not leave him alone? Had she perhaps died and was coming to haunt him now? He shuddered his pride, eyes widening at the thought. Surely not! This... this might bear looking into. It might get him out of the den long enough to regain his masculinity in the presence of this female! But first things first... perhaps there were other ways of doing so.
"But you may call me Damu," he finished gruffly, tail lashing displeasure. "No cute nicknames, no saying it with a tone." He flashed a look of warning at her on that last word. Females had a way of talking sometimes so that their words were not defiant or out of place, but their intention was sneeringly clear regardless. "Just Damu."
He plunged into a den without any warning to her that they had arrived, clearly expecting her to follow him. Cracked bones, bits of fur, and trinkets of all sorts were scattered about randomly. He just kicked through them to the back of a cave to where a single, scruffy prey-beast hide lay. "You sleep here." He glanced around the den and waved a paw towards an inner chamber. "I sleep in there. This is where I want you to clean."

Arii went wide eye with fear and dropped to the ground with a tiny squeak when he spun around and bared his fangs at her with a snarl with sudden real anger without being just grumpy. she had not expected him to explode like that at her when she tried her best not to so it freaked her out a little bit even though this whole time he had been a bit irritable. "i promise i wont do anything to displease you." she quickly got to her feet though and almost ended up crawling after him to make sure not to anger him by being slow. " i will begin cleaning right away Damu. " having made sure to pay very close attention to where he wanted her to have her sleeping area, she started to clean without further direction from him.

He told himself stubbornly that this was the kind of behavior he wanted from her. Subservient, immediate compliance, right? But the conscience he had believed no longer existed twinged at him. He'd been too rough with her already, and it wasn't even her fault. He chuffed to show his approval of her applying herself to the task right away, then beetled his brow in concern. Was he being too soft again? Not soft enough? Augh, this was ridiculous!
"Keep the skulls. And any pelts that are useful. Or pretty." His voice was gruff again, but without any heat. He was simply going to have to find and establish a balance, clearly. If he could just get the right amount of distance and restraint, maybe this could work... somehow. "I'm gonna go... patrol something." He rolled his eyes at his own inept explanation and then fled the den. He'd deal with her again later, of course... but for now, he had endured as much confusion as was lionly possible.
