Captive's Struggle [PRIVATE: AC & SinChei]

[AustralianChaos]

Kulinda eventually found a spot by the enclosure fence that was a little out of the way, where she lay down and curled up, resting her head on her paws, staring out into the open winderness beyond. she felt bad for treating Daxis so harshly...but the cub was so stubborn that she knew she had to be harsh with him in order to make him learn his lesson...she had been raised in a similarly caring, but harsh environment, and even though she had hated her parents at times during it, she now realised that they had done everything because they cared for her, and wanted to raise her into someone who would not treat anyone harshly.

Thinking of her parents made her think of her brother, causing a heavy, shaky sigh to escape from her. "Mwamba, I miss you..." she whispered softly as she looked out into the wide plains. He was out there...somewhere...

----------

Tanga sighed, but just as he opened his mouth to reply, he too caught Daxis' scent, and sighed. "If you can smell that...he happened," he said, his voice filled with sadness instead of anger. "He attacked the human, but Kulinda managed to convince him to stop...he still hurt the creature, though, so he had to leave. He still seems to trust me, so I guess that's a good thing."

He decided to leave out that he already knew Daxis' name, and stopped from explaining further as the cub in question appeared, looking sad and nervous, a set of emotions Tanga thought he had never seen on the cub before. "Are you okay?" he asked, only a small amount of concern lacing his voice, as he watched the cub carefully. His previous attempt to attack him was still fresh in Tanga's mind, and as such, he was cautious, hoping that a repeat performance was not about to happen.

----------

Tyson nodded at Shane's words. "She seems to have almost taken the cub in as her own child..." he said, before deciding they could not put off their discussion any longer. "Now, what are we going to do about security in the enclosure. I don't want any more poachers getting in. This group we've collected have some interesting fur patterns, and I'm sure that poacher that got away will start spreading the word to find help. We need to make sure we're ready for them next time."

Makali now realised the scent of the cub and quickly looked at the approaching cub. The fact he had hurt the humans made makali mad as well but it seemed that the cub was unsure about something. Te only reason makali hadn't already given the cub a slap in his face was that he didn't look agressive anymore.

------------
Daxis lowered his head and turned it away from him still to cocky to just apologie at tanga for his offensive actions. Daxis turned away several times because his body didn't want to be there but then his mind called in and told him he couldn't go back to kulinda without apologising at the golden furred male. But finally he went closer to tanga and sat don in front of him.

Can.. you tell Kulinda i apologised at you?

Daxi waned to cuddle with Kulinda but didnt want to play the weaker lion and apologie to Tanga. Tanga and Makali were no real lions in his eyes until they had been so long in the enclosure

Shane was about to write something down and listened to his friend. His head were moving up and down constantly to show his firned that he still was listening to him about this serious subject. But when his friend finished shane turned his head to the side.

Yes that and the little one he wants to sell to a zoo or an illegal private owner. That is so disgusting.
But yeah more cameras and i think we need at least to watchers at the gates. Or how about a safe small dome in the middle of the enclosure. where two watchers can sit in.

He said while pointing on his screen of the laptop to show him a sketch he made earlier

[AustralianChaos]

Tanga's eyes Daxis with a curious, but cautious look. For a moment, he was tempted to agree to Daxis' request, but instead gave the cub a hard stare. "And why should I do that?" he asked simply, with no emotion in his voice. "You just attacked me before...why should I do you any favours?" His question was not meant to be harsh, but Tanga wanted to know exactly why Daxis expected him to just play along, so soon after coming inches away from killing him.

----------

Tyson took all this in. "Hmm...the cameras are an absolute must...maybe we could ask the gate operators to act as watchmen as well. We'll have to think on your idea about an observation dome inside the enclosure...but for now, the cameras, gate watchmen, and perhaps a couple of people to watch the footage from the cameras, so they can alert us whenever they see something odd."

He paused for a moment, noting all these suggestions on his laptop, before continuing. "We should also add more inward-facing cameras...the enclosure's full of blind spots where someone can hide, in the enclosure, without us noticing. Maybe, once we get time, we can set up your observation dome and put more cameras there?"

[SinChei]

Daxis was sure Tanga would agree and tell Kulinda he aplologied at tanga but that Tanga would react this way made daxs lift his head up to look at tanga to see his hard stare. Daxis noitced a growl rolling up his throught again but fought it back before it would escape his muzzle.

Because I.. Bcause you.. but Kulinda said i should apologie... but

Daxis just stuttered trying to find the right reason to convince Tanga. But the cub could not find one because there was no real reason why he had to apologie. Daxis had to accept it and made onee step closer to tanga.

Because Kulinda want that i do it. She don't want to see me before i did that... come on Tanga you can't pretend to be mad now... you are always the kind one... If you tell her i apologised then you can use my name.

Trying everything to avoid to say just the three words "I am sorry" Daxis checked the air everytime to make sure Kulinda was still not around to listen to his words.

------------------


Shane added some more ideas to his laptop as well and was satisfied with all the ideas his friend suggested.

Yes that sounds awesome. Maybe in a few days we can set up a dome. I don't think it will be to difficult to set it up. We just have to dig a hole. But which material we should use? I think cement would be enough for it and it is not to expensive. And that cameras are a must as well as you said we can't spot everyone if he has a good ambush
