The large light blue gray male prowled through his lands. The recruitment had gone well, a few members joining the ranks of the Ironfang cats. He could well say sabers since lions and other cats were allowed in as well. Large paws barely made any sound as he pressed on wards, head lifted to the sky slightly as he sniffed at the scents that hung in the immediate area. A sigh escaped his jaws. Everything was quiet and peaceful. Some would take it as a bad omen and he kept his ears perked but for now the leader could use some relaxation. But, some company would make it even better. Being alone did have its perks but also it's disadvantages.
Ziku sat down, large muscles rippling under his striped coat as he did so. Short cut tail flicked as he lifted his powerful head to the star dotted skies. The moon was out and half full, casting a semi-eerie glow across the lands he grew up in. No clouds floated on the sky this evening. Pale yellow eyes scanned for the clusters of skies he had familiarized himself with over the years.
The moon seemed to transfix the large leader as he stared at it, spotting the small rabbit on the moon. A smile shifted onto his maw as he let out a small laugh. what would the others tell him if he told them there was a rabbit on the moon? The laugh grew to a small roar. If anyone was near they would hear. He didn't mind if they came to see where the roar came from. It would mean company for him.

Ximera left her perch of watching the Ironfang lead for some time now, pretending she just got here, to have herself a little visit to Ziku. ( Ha ha. ) A smirk played her maw. Night had been fallen for some time now, and most Roumeg were asleep. While Ximera went on prowls. Planting her rear opon the fluffy silk emerald blades beneath her paws, she turned her head at Ziku. She knew she was not on the best of terms with Ironfang, but not exactly enemies. A paw lifted, arching as claws extended. A brow arched slowly.
"Why, hello there Ziku." Brows narrowed. She hated Ironfang with passion, but she gave Ziku a visit sooner or later, sometimes just to annoy him. Yet Ziku was probably relaxed now, she guessed she could cross his borders care free and just walk in on him like it was her business, anyways, Ironfang members would be asleep other than prowling.
Yet, there was a cold angst for Ximera to go back to her pride lands. Whitebacks were mostly known to prowl around Roumeg, but more to Ironfang. Ximera was noticing a lot of two leggers and mutts pushing them back though, although Falchion had kills with Maho and Zeek, to show the mutts who were boss.

His pale eyes narrowed at the Roumeg leader. Claws unsheathed from their place in his massive paws and ears flicked backwards for other Roumeg that might have come with her. Short tail flicked in annoyance. And just when he was having fine day too. Still, Ximera might have something of importance to say to him.
"Ximera." he replied with short nod. "What brings you to my territory? Something you would like to share? Or are you here to annoy me? I was having such a fine day too."
He knew the female saber wouldn't come here without some sort of excuse even if it was to annoy the hell out of him. He remained here he was, rump to the ground as he watched her carefully.

Ximera yawned slowly, staring at the scarred Ziku. "Oh my, did I annoy you, big cat?" A laugh from her throat spilled from her maw. "Oh dear, I wouldn't want that now would I?" Risking being attacked, she was yet to be attacked. Any ways, she could sick Roumeg on him any day. A paw lifted as she pulled it down her cheek. "I just came to visit." The smirk turning into frown. "Aw, did kitty not like my presence?" Fluttering her eyelashes pitiless.
Sarcasm had gotten the best of her, yet she was having fun. If he did, she could hurt him bad, and sick Roumeg on him, but that'd prove what a fool she was. Tapping her bladed digits upon the grassy perch. "I wouldn't want to get you angry . . . So I 'll just be on my way." Turning around and lifted to her paws, and pranced to the perch she had lifted herself on to stalk Ziku.
"You old buffoon," She mumbled in addition to her last words. Of course, Ziku did have permission to beat her ass while she was turned, yet with the power of both Ironfang and Roumeg there was half a chance for Ziku, despite the height differences.

A small snort escaped the IronFang leader's nostrils. Pale yellow eyes narrowed slightly as the Roumeg spoke. Lips lifted slightly in a small growl. Still, he knew the power Ximera held and one flase move would mean a war between the prides. Black tipped tail flicked slightly and the powerful leader stood. His eyes remained locked as he stalked after her.
No matter what went on he did not trust this other saber in his lands unsupervised. He was King and had a pride to protect. That plus he wanted to make sure she didn't cause any trouble on her way back to her lands.
"Cross the border again and I cannot garentee your safety, Ximera. You may have gotten out unharmed here but next time someone else might catch you here." It wasn't like he was worried about Ximera it was his pride. The saber was strong even for him and the big cat didn't want to start a war. Not now.

Ximera turned her head to face the bulky scarred male, body still facing Roumeg borders, but head faced and turned to Ziku. "Ziku, there is change. You should know that to be a leader." Lids covered her pale blue eyes, then re opened themselves. "I trust you not to attack me, and I promise you no war. But I can't promise you I won't cross your borders, but I can promise I will slaughter any of your members that attack me." Lifting her brows in a concerned matter for a moment, then narrowed, as maw lifted to bare a growl and fangs.
"I will show no mercy to the cubs you call a pride. You maybe are not my enemy, but you aren't my ally, either. Which I hope one day will become an alliance between you and I, and Ironfang and Roumeg. I'd rather not stay on neutral terms with you any longer. Roumeg is growing short, you know it." Brows lifted, as she fully turned and stepped back a bit and planted her rear onto the grassy land like she had business here. A soft snort lowered from her nostrils.

a sigh escaped his jaws. slowly, he sat down across from Ximera. "I know this. Everyone can tell the wolves are getting restless. Ironfang and Roumeg would make a great alliance but for what? We would still have our borders and each have separate rules. No one form the other pride would be able to cross without a good reason. It would put more pressure on us when there is a shift in alliances. I cannot be sure that someone will not try to attack if our prides were to join alliances." Large head lowered slightly.
"I know we do not wish to attack each other. I would rather leave bloodshed out of the lands of both Ironfang and Roumeg but I cannot guarantee that will happen. Ximera, all the lands are short of members but slowly our ranks will grow. Patience is something we must have for now."

Turning her head to glare at the Ironfang valley. "Ziku, you are old as I but you still do not know a lot." An angry look crossed her face. "I know a war will soon start out with you and Whiteback, including Roumeg and Youkol. A course of relaxation went through her bulky body, then released to anger. Staring up to the sky, noticing large gray clouds crossed the sky. ( Sorry for the short, trying to reply to PMs and roleplay. )

Slowly Ziku nodded his head. Ximera may be a past but even he knew to think over what she said at times. His gaze also went to the sky. "I know. Sabers will die in the war but even so I cannot bring myself to make allis with you. Not yet. Now, I ask you to please leave the borders of my land behind you. I will think about what you said but I cannot promise anything, Ximera. This is a tough time and things, expecially alliances, need to be thought over carefully. For what use is an allaince with ones you do not trust in your own lands alone?"
((I understand. Hope you get caught up))

A dramatic pause, listening to what Ziku said. Looking back down, she nodded. "I will go, Ziku. I can't promise you any mercy, and I will take caution when I cross your borders once again." A smirk crossed her maw as she leaped over to her perch, lunging down the mountains to her borders.

With a small nod at her words Ziku stayed where he was for another brief moment. His eyes stayed where the Roumeg saber had disappeared before getting to his paws again. Maybe someone would come who he could tak to about the offer Ximera made. He knew it would be a long time until he could trust Roumeg but what she said made sence.

Swamp
Swamp wandered around, maybe taking the advice to "leave" from a common Ironfang member. However, Swamp would not take leave so easily. Slowly stopping, large maw dropped to see the gray male. Watching a cream tail slip over the mountain. A glare was given to the dissapearing female. Looking to the male, ducking slowly to stare at him.
Slowly leaping to her paws, she walked up and pawed at the ground. "I'd like to join . . " Growling slowly with the spitting words. "Ironfang." Biting her lower lip to make it bleed to make it as if she was strong. Forgetting, a little bit of blood trickled down her lip. "Ow!" She whispered to herself, lapping at it with her oral appendage.
Small but bulky body slammed her rear opon the ground.

Ziku stopped and blinked at the female that had made herself known to him. Confusion was on his face but it slowly faded. "Join my pride, huh? Well, what could you bring to us? Surely, you have some skill to help us." He say down again, pushing the conversation with Ximera from his mind and focused all his attention on the female at hand.
Tail twitched slightly and the male waited for a responce. She didn't look like a Roumeg and that eased some of the worries in his mind. But there was also the fact that he didn't know this female or of her background. For all Ziku knew, he could be bringing a cold blooded murderer in his pride at the moment.

Swamp blinked. Sitting down. Lifting a paw up, flashing the blades. "Fighting, killing, spying, running," And continued chatting on sarcastically and show offly to the gray male. Though this was a simple humor joke, she hoped the gray male would laugh at this. Yet it was a joke, she could do all these things.

With a small roll of his eyes and a small smile and chuckle Ziku shook his head. "How about your name? I am Ziku." Ears flicked slightly in curiosity as he gave his own name to the saber. The smile remained on his jaws as he sat.
