Ajihad relaxed slightly. He was still concerned, but it wasn't immediate problems that he could deal with. He entered the den, and looked around for the dominants. He was curious if she would talk to him first or they would wing it as the meeting went on. He was surprised to see that Shani had a claw mark, and he didn't see some of the lionesses. Specifically, Delilah. After a moment, he realized that Aslan and Khaleesi were closer together than usual, but he wasn't sure if that was his imagination. Khaleesi blinked at him gratefully. She supposed they had better go in. They could probably start the meeting now.

Aslan made his way into the cave as Aria looked around to speak. "First off, Delilah has been exiled from the pride. Her foolishness has put the pride in danger for FAR too long. She spoke to a nomad and rather than keeping her mouth shut, she told him about the pride! Rather than telling a DOMINANT about the issue, she went to a subordinate about it! If there is an issue with nomads or anything, you are to come to a dominant. NOT someone of a lower rank since they have no say in what happens. She knew nothing about him and still acted like nothing was wrong. If she is seen in the territory, she is to be chased off or killed. I will not allow her to keep putting the pride in danger and blame others for her mistakes" she said as she held her head high. "We now have at least one nomad out there, and who knows how many more now know about us and the cubs. We must be prepared if her actions have caused them to come here." She looked around and saw a few looking concerned, mostly Midnight growling and pulling Fae closely. She nodded to Amara to speak next. "It's been brought to my attention that some Lionesses are foolish enough to fight over the same male. Due to this, there has been squabbles and even clawing at one another. This is far from acceptab" she said. "From here on, if Lionesses are fighting over a male, the male will be exiled to eliminate the issue!" Her blue eyes scanned the pride and she watched the look of horror form on Aslan's face as his ears lowered nervously. "In addition, the next time someone disobeys orders, they will be exiled as well. Storm has once again taken off without permission when we've told her to stay put to heal. I suggest if any of you are close to her, you warn her before she's chased off." Amara looked rather annoyed to know the issues Delilah and a few of the others caused that day alone. "We need to work together, and if you cannot obey orders to keep yourself safe, then we cannot trust you to be in the pride to keep us safe." She looked at Ajihad, wondering if he had anything to add, or Siku.

Delilah/ Lioness

The lioness limps under a shady area of a tree after trying to fight off a hyena group, the lioness yawned before laying down and then she dozed off not knowing she was close to the male lion and his two cubs.

Ajihad was surprised to hear about this, but he supposed it had been coming. He considered lions more dominant than the lioness, but they appeared to have totally taken control over the situation. While she may have been right to exile Delilah, did they really need to kill her? He reasoned that subordinates should obey their leaders. They had to respect authority or the whole pride could descend into Chaos. He wasn't sure if he wanted a lion kicked out every time to lionesses fought over a lion. It seemed extreme. At the same time, it was supposed to only be lions who physically fought. Lionesses just flirted with those they would consider for mates. He would talk to her more about the exiling lions.

Amara looked at the pride. "If nobody has anything else to say, I need to speak with Shani and Khaleesi alone" she said as she stood up. She waited to see if Ajihad or Siku had something to add, especially about the threat of the nomads possibility.

Shani nodded her head in agreement with what Amara was saying. It may seem a little extreme to some, but Amara was very wise and striving to do what was best for the pride, they all were. And if this is what it took to live safely and in harmony with one another, Shani would do her best to observe and obey the rules and guidelines being laid down. She heard what Amara said about meeting privately with her and Khaleesi and rose to follow Amara. She had noticed how close Aslan and Khaleesi had been when they both returned to the cave. At least something good had come out of that mess.

Nevaeh lay down in the cave watching the meeting take place. She heard what Amara had said and shook her head. It may be somewhat of a good idea to a point, but the older lioness hoped that Amara wasn't getting to big of a head with being in a higher position. The new rules seemed slightly...well, dictorial in nature. Had Amara even discussed things over with the other dominants before calling this meeting? Not that Nevaeh had seen. Oh well, it will work itself out. It always has...Nevaeh thought.

Ivy

Ivy's amber eyes brightened up.

"Did you see some nearby?", she asked, "I do enjoy their tender meat". She now half-wished that the today's hunt wasn't as successful as it is, because now that means she'll have to wait around 2 weeks to hunt with Chaos, after the pride will consume the zebras.

She too flicked her ear towards the commotion, and widened her eyes as she witnessed Aria pounce on Delilah. Drama on the first day, and yet between the formal pridemates themselves. She also saw a brown lioness (Khaleesi, she thinks) storm out of the cave.

Was she so engrossed in talking with Chaos that she missed a whole part of a drama?

She glaced at her son Nyasi, and saw him talking with Tara, as well as spectating the drama before him with interest. She'll have to bring him out hunting some day, away from all the pride squabble.

Jasiri

Jasiri felt surprised that Ajihad did not request for the nomad lioness to join their pride, but then that is maybe because there are already a lot of lions. He narrowed his eyes at the lioness.

Why didn't Ajihad bother to drive the lioness further from their territory? He was tempted to do the job himself, but found himself weak. He can't just bully a mother of 3 cubs into moving away. That is just... cruel. But why would he care?

As he was heading away with Ajihad, the lioness's roar startled him and he swivelled his head around. To his surprise, Delilah was there. What was she doing here? Wasn't she supposed to be back in the pride? Did something happen back there????

But she left before he was able to ask any questions to her.

He looked at the lioness once more, and gave an awkward nod at her and jogged away, running after him.

He entered the cave, right at the end as Amara finished talking. Looking at his pride, he knew that whatever she was saying, it was important.

"Drat, what did I miss?", he mumbled, and walked towards Chaos and Ivy, with who he was the most comfortable in this pride. Ever since the disappearnace of Lilacia, he stopped being social, just following numbly the orders of pride.

"Chaos? Say, what was said by Amara?", he asked the former dominant, bowing his head apologetically at the both of them as it seems he interrupted their talk.

Ukuta

Ukuta saw Khaleesi come back, and seeing the lioness uncomfortable, she groaned and was about to leave, but to her relief the youngsters left themselves. It would've been too much effort for her to mov away.

Ukuta was worried. Why did she feel even more tired? This is bullcrap. Azrael is the oldest, and yet he moves almost with ease. He is 6 years or so older than her. Why does she start have this problems? Is this a bad omen of some sort??

Shani noticed Khaleesi and gestured for her to follow Amara first. She hoped the other lioness would see it for what it was, a sign of submission. She paused a waited for Khaleesi's next move.

Amara nodded to Ajihad. *Perhaps that one was a little harsh* she thought before she lead Khaleesi and Shani out of the cave. She sat down and looked between them. "Care to explain what happened" she asked. Her tone was still short as she sat tall looking between the two Lionesses.
