Naja

Ibris through herself in her snow leopard form, growling and snarling loudly at the glowing red eyes. Once entered into the vines light, it was a massive king cobra. The scales were lit in multiple colors, possible an effect from living in the caves for far too long. Cyan and red ran down his front scales with black and gold surrounding his body. The both of them were in defensive potions, both of them equally in power.

His eyes met over the human girl, zoomed in sight seeing the mating mark of this warrior. That explains the sounds he heard throughout the night. Of course it was from someone with three stripes, the same as him. Naja slithered around with his tongue splitting out. If he attempts to kill this warrior, there is a good chance this female would dare leave him. There was no win win in combat, even if Ibris seeked out blood from his presence.

He began to take on his human form, a loincloth covered over his private bits. He was slightly pal from lack of sun. His hair blacked with streaks of red. Three stripes marked his face with numerous tattoos marking his firm frame. He didn't appear to be some husky warrior like those in most tribes.

This prompt Ibris to do the same, out of pride and honor. She still looked pissed off, hand twitching for a fight.

"Woah woah, calm down kitty! I didn't mean to set you and your mate off. Merely spectating those whom entered my home is all! Now, be a good kitty and put those claws down."

Naja joked around slightly, waving his hands. No weapons.

"Bullshit! Stay the hell back if you know what's good for you!"

She snarled out in reply. Tensions were high, all Ibris want is to protect Aki and her litter.

Naja saw the mate symbol, along with the possible pregnancy mark on the girl. He couldn't risk just jumping in the frey. Now if the girl wasn't pregnant, it might just be a different story.

"Kitty has a mouth too, eh. Hey female, is this woman troubling you? Surely she acts like the feral she is around you."

He muttered out. The tribes mark on Ibris was visibly erased, indicating she rebelled against her elders and was subjected to being banished. In Naja's eyes, she was no better than him. But those words only angered Ibris off even more.
