None of what this male said made any sense. He knew barely, if not nothing about the Sigrun. It wasn't about a name, or a family. Alexander was determined to get any prisoners from his grasp - if not before, most certainly now. Eisa and Thella's escape caused relief, allowing him to continue on with this fight without any worry. A snarl ripped from his gullet, anger rolling off of him in waves. Who did this boy think he was? Alexander would remain on his high horse - or the perceived image of one, it's where he belonged.

As Luther met his charge, he felt his body collide with the solid force of his shoulder. This would cause bruising on his own body, but he was determined. A skull came soaring toward him and Alexander's head turned just slightly in time to avoid the collision with his chin, but it did dissuade his teeth - if only for a moment. They flash angrily, his voice bellowing out in a growl, "You take something - someone, that doesn't belong to you and have the audacity to be offended by a trespass? How AMUSING!" The King scoffs, laughing as his jaws attempt to now rear back and attempt to snap toward Luther's cheek in this close proximity.

Red. He was seeing red. Alexander’s words mattered little, his sole purpose at this very moment was self-preservation and punishment of the old man that dared tread into his land and snatch his prisoners. His forehead collided with Alexander’s chin, dissuading his teeth from their course momentarily. A bruise promised to bloom from the pain that came with this bone-on-bone crash, but Luther redirected his skull regardless, gritting past the pain. He’d felt much fucking worse, this felt like a walk in the park.

His jaw snap forward in an attempt to grab onto Alexander’s tender eye. As a result, the Obsidian man’s teeth leave deep slashes across Luther’s cheek that sting like a bitch and bleed.

He's unable to avoid the sudden teeth going for his eye. They collide with the top of his brow and just below the eye itself. Instinct kicks in and Alexander abruptly attempts to jerk his head away before those teeth can try to pierce the orb itself.

Blood began to trickle over his eyesight, causing a sting and a bubble of irritation. Only able to fully see out of one eye, the King lets out a snarl of frustration before attempting to retaliate. Jaws whip back toward Luther's own face, wanting to do more damage to that same cheek and possibly near that tender nose.

+5 - Observe a fight (Luther vs Alexander)

It didn't take long for more of the pride to pile in, the young prince included. Naturally, he immediately demanded to know what was going on, and Akuji wondered if he really couldn't figure that out from the scene before him. Still, he backed away from the fight, uninterested in getting involved with the colossal male (for obvious reasons given he could get stepped on and his spine broken quite easily), and turned to offer an explanation.

Some woman from the Hollow came and broke out the prisoner. Luther tried to claim her but she slipped away and the red behemoth decided to throw his weight around, he said. Speaking of which, he'd done so quite effectively and even he could see how that had ended up. The man was a formidable opponent.

Now that the main event was over with, he decided to slip away and see if their other prisoners were still where they were supposed to be, and if anyone else was lingering on the pride's territory when they didn't belong there.

He's won. He knows it and he knows Luther knows it. Alexander has proved his point. Had shown he was not someone to be pushed around, nor would anyone in his pride. Jaws snapped closed as the red behemoth shifts back after pushing @Luther ♔ away. Teeth are bloodied, his body cut up in various spots, but he felt strong. The Hollows King felt accomplished. "Should you and yours find yourself anywhere near my home, you will find yourselves facing the same force." He mutters in a low, raspy threat. The Mire could come after his home, and those within it if he truly wanted to, but the Savante would not simply cower and whimper. He turns and abruptly leaves, his flowing tail flicking with irritation as he does.

She practically shrunk to the side when she heard the vocals of the man alongside her, immediately her mind scrambled, trying to figure out what the correct answer would be as she wasn't entirely sure herself. All she knew was that it was a prison break, and that it was certainly a power struggle on whether the prisoners would be staying or leaving. But ultimately, it became clear that the red man would overcome her father. The information settled like lead in her gut and she shuffled nervously on her feet. "Well.. looks like they won't be staying." She offers quietly, glancing downward at her half-brother before she'd make her way back through the Mire.
