Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mbezi was roaming around, bored as he always was. Something needed to liven up this place, but no one seemed to want to do anything. What was wrong with stealing a lion cub? It wasn't like they didn't have enough. Then they could torture the thing, maybe keep it as a slave...yeah, then it could hunt for him, and he wouldn't have to do that stupid chore anymore. Mmm...

He was walking along when he noticed a female he hadn't seen before. And for some reason, this bothered him. No one had asked him how he felt about this, and so he stalked off after her, intent just to see if she was even worth anything.

Mbezi was feeling fine about it, even if he was normally a little grumpy, but the fact that she had breathed Tukutu's name made his mind snap. He growled at her, his back arched as he felt the hatred for that b*****d grow.

"Please," he snapped his jaws. "That old man knows nothing, it's why we're struggling to keep our heads afloat in this disaster of a pack."

Mbezi laughed, keeping his teeth showing. "Please. He's the laziest little snot ever. My mother was so disgusted by the son he gave her that she went to my father, and properly bore quite the litter." He huffed, still proud of that fact. Even if his sister...wasn't active, not as she should be. It was fine, he still felt like he had weight to swing around, even if Tukutu was still considered the consort, and in some sort of power.

"He couldn't do anything against me."

"Mbezi," he growled. "You shouldn't forget it, either. I'll be running this show soon, so watch how you talk." He did have the strength to beat anyone...except Tukutu. As the older hyena had somehow gotten the best of him, Mbezi knew that he wouldn't be mentally stable when fighting the old man. If he lost once, would he lose again?

"Ugh, shut up," Tukutu said, slowly walking his way up behing Mbezi to go next to Baki. "I can hear you screaming from across the graveyard. Get out of here before I have to whip you, Mbezi."

Mbezi only growled at the pair of them.

"Yes," he said, shaking his head. "He's an annoying one, that's certain."

Mbezi narrowed his eyes. "Oh, I get it. I get what you're doing. Just you wait 'til I find Ma, she's not going to like this." He snarled at the two of them, certain to make sure that the new female was not on his good list, and scurried off. Somehow, one of these days he was going to get Tukutu out of here. If only he could actually get it to happen sooner rather than later.

Tukutu watched him leave, shaking his head. "He is full of dreams of somehow taking his mother's spot, even though it will never happen. We need a new leader soon, certainly, but the time will come...one day."

Tuk shrugged. "I think he'd kill himself before really getting anything done. He's not smart, or he just doesn't think things through. I'd be careful though. He will attack when provoked. I still think I'm lucky that I beat him, but at least he hasn't challenged me again." Tuk didn't know if he could do it again.

"Anyway, is everything else good? No other problems besides that idiot?"

"Oh yeah?" He was a little surprised at that. Just because...well, no one usually was looking for him. He was a lazy fellow, did what he needed and spent the rest of the day relaxing for no real reason. "Was there something you needed? Obviously you can hold your own against Mbezi, so I don't need to worry about that anymore. He's really the worst of the bunch here, if someone doesn't care for you they'll ignore you. He just likes to get personal."
