A Private RP for Labatis

[Iri]

Kapuki had lunged back into battle, and though the two sisters were weakened, they were still struggling. Kivuli, despite him being outnumbered three to one, was still stronger. He had injured his two daughters and they were both bleeding a bit heavily. Not bleeding so much that they were about to keel over and die, but they were weakened a good deal.
Chaltuu felt anger bubble up in her belly as she heard more of the questions from the lions.
"If that is Chaltuu, why is a rogue with her?"
"Why's Kivuli attacking his own daughters?"
"Why's Kapuki attacking her father?"
"Wasn't Chaltuu exiled?"
Of course I was exiled, you dopes! she wanted to shout. But of course, with a wounded sister and a father that never seemed to tire out, she had other things to worry about, she assumed.

[Not that Kivuli's like some power-monster who is oh-so strong. But he's weakened them. Plus he's just naturally stronger than them. xD]

[Labatis]

Oh, shut up! He growled inwardly, getting tired of their stupid questions. It only stressed Angus out, and distracted him. They had better things to do than watch a fight, didn't they? His eyes blazed with anger as Kivuli continued to attack them. You're the king! Why do you waste your time trying to kill your daughters? Yes, it is true one was exiled and dared to enter here again, but she wasn't exiled for doing anything bad, now was she? Even I would have resisted brutally beating up my own kin. These offensive thoughts in his head made him more desperate to land a hard attack on him, but he had to find the right opportunity.

[Well, I was going to describe how much I want to murder hug Kivuli.]

[Iri]

[Yes, just a... hug.]

Chaltuu and Kivuli continued to grapple and snarl, baring their teeth and clawing at each other's flanks and shoulders. Kivuli often pinned his daughter down on her back and landed a few strikes on her chest or stomach, before Chaltuu would kick at his face and regain balance.
Finally Kapuki hid in the grass, but not by cowardice- trying to find a way to knock Kivuli over. Her father was admittedly very strong, and though the injuries on his shoulders and back looked painful, they wouldn't stop him unless he was bitten or slashed on his stomach or chest, like he was doing to Chaltuu. Not wanting to kill Kivuli, however, Kapuki made sure she didn't claw him fatally. Though he had been absolutely horrendous towards her and Chaltuu and terribly negligent towards Shujaa, she wouldn't be able to inflict serious damage on her father, no matter how horribly he had treated all his cubs.

[Labatis]

Angus observed how Kivuli attacked her, looking for where he made himself vulnerable. He noticed Kapuki, too, was crouched in the grass, trying to find a time to attack. Knowing that Kivuli would most likely keep his attention towards Chaltuu, Angus moved to where he was behind him. Now he could go for the back, and hopefully throw him off guard. After readying himself, he lunged forward, claws unsheathed.

[Iri]

Kivuli roared in shock and anger as he tried to buck Angus off, snarling.
Kapuki attacked from the side, hanging on to her father's flanks with her claws. She spat and hissed, trying to throw her father off balance. She heard the continued murmurs of the lions around them, and she even witnessed a few stepping forward as if to help Kivuli fight the three off. The pride trusted Kivuli. After all, he had "ridden the pride of the curse", and now they were all eternally grateful to him or something. They didn't like Kapuki much, for the young lioness often asked the pride questions about Chaltuu which they were unwilling to answer. Besides, Kivuli was a terrible father, but he was a good leader to his pride.

[Labatis]

[Angus is going to tame that horse >:c]

Angus sunk his claws into his back while his teeth held onto his shoulder blades. It wasn't necessarily so he could injure him, more to keep balance while Kivuli attempted to throw him off. With Kapuki at his side, and Angus grasping onto his back, hopefully they were going to knock him over. Angus didn't plan to let go until then. He had to admit, it was a struggle, he was clearly very strong, and had a possibility to keep himself standing.

[Iri]

[Yes, Angus.. -Sinister grin-]

After being overpowered by three lions obviously not about to give up, Kivuli tripped and stumbled onto his side, exposing his belly. Kapuki growled and hissed, not trying to inflict horrendous pain on her father, but she wanted him to know what he had done to her, how he had hurt her. Over the time that had passed, Kapuki had grown up with- anyone could guess it- a mother who hardly realized she had cubs, and a father who scolded her harshly when she messed up. Kapuki wanted Kivuli, even though he was her father, to understand the pain that she had gone through. She wanted him to understand how much he had hurt her.

[Labatis]

[Angus: This is my moment of glory! ]

Angus fell with him, but quickly squirmed to his paws. He looked towards his stomach, snarling. He raked his claws there, but not as hard as he truly wanted to. Angus would've gone harder enough to severely injure him, but held back. He couldn't kill again, even if it was his enemy. Yes, his stomach was beginning to bleed from the cut, but it couldn't be enough to kill him. It was, however, going to startle him a bit at the searing pain. Not once did Angus regret it, he rather enjoyed what he did the second it happened.

[I hope I am not seeming like a power-player.]

[Iri]

[Oh, no. Powerplaying is like "He slashed Kivuli's stomach and watched him writhe and shriek in pain". That sort of thing.]

Kivuli yowled. The cut in his stomach hurt like the great Spirits, but he knew it wasn't enough to kill him. If it had been a huge gash in his chest, stomach, or throat, then he wouldn't stand a chance.
Kapuki backed up, surprised, but not angry, at the stranger's movements of overpowering Kivuli. She was a bit shocked at how strong the lion was. She assumed Chaltuu knew, though. It seemed as if the two had been travelling together for at least a few days. She knew her father wasn't suffering terrible anguish, but that wound did look like it hurt at least a little bit. Perhaps Kivuli would just exile her? But the thoughts of Shujaa returned to her head, flooding her mind. If she was exiled- which she probably would be, no doubt about it- what would happen to the tiny cub? Would Kivuli just let Shujaa suffer a painful death?

[Labatis]

Angus was glad that he hadn't attacked him too lightly. At least it was assured that Kivuli wouldn't somehow be able to get back up. If he did, Angus would be in great pain rather quickly. It had been a while since he felt this much warm, stinging blood from his opponent and himself. True, the fight with the lions back at that water hole caused blood, but it wasn't near as much as this huge fight had. Angus looked around, hoping the other lions of the pride didn't go attacking Chaltuu, Kapuki, or himself.
