Melinoe,
Lioness of Junior Member
Played by vae
The other lioness' response to her was promising. It was in Melinoe's nature to want to assess the potential threat in every lion she met, and so watching this stranger's behavior came as second nature. She was mindful of every small mannerism; her lavender eyes could easily be watched as they tracked across Evanthia's form, though she focused heavily on her face. At the mention of 'things' in the pools surrounding them, she averted her gaze only briefly. She looked away just long enough to note flashes of color in a pool nearest her. She had never heard of such a practice before.

"Where I am from, we only hunt the beasts from the land," she stated the words, again, simply as a fact. "Do these sea creatures really satisfy you?" Melinoe queried with muted albeit genuine interest. She had never tasted fish before her, or crab. The practice wasn't unheard of, but she personally had preferred the hot flesh and blood of a freshly felled land animal. She struggled to see the appeal in something that was likely cold and slimy.

"Melinoe," her name was given as trade; although, she had never been the sort to deny it to others, even enemies. She wore it like a title. "Are you native to this place?" The warrior went on to ask as she took a step toward one of the pools near enough Evanthia that they wouldn't have to talk, but far enough away that she wouldn't encroach on the unfamiliar lioness' space. If she wanted to move closer, that would be her choice.
