Welcome to Gaia! ::

For Isra, it was a relatively exciting, sometimes stressful time of change and adaptation. She now belonged in the harem of someone who wasn't her father. His heavy-handedness and his easily triggered temper were things that she wasn't unfamiliar with, but she was new at being on the receiving end of those sorts of things. That didn't bother her so much. She could tread on eggshells if that was what was required of her. Besides, if she needed a reprieve, she could visit her family or find some other source of solace or relaxation, and there was Zuraya to share with, too. It seemed her new Pad didn't require them to remain within eyesight at all hours, so there was some freedom there, even if some of his other requests were a bit out of the norm from what she had come to understand. That too was okay. She was brought up to please her Pad and would do her best to keep him as happy as she could manage.

Her own sleeping schedule hadn't been too drastically affected by her harem change. She had always been a light sleeper and getting up early in the morning was practically a habit now. Returning to the den after having gotten a drink and a spot of hunting in, she returned with an average hare hanging lifelessly in her jaws. Isra had noticed that the Beybanu was seeming a bit worse for wear. Perhaps she was having trouble adjusting to this new life, she pondered as she paused in the entryway, lowering her head to set the hare down at her own feet. "Zuraya, how are you feeling?", She inquired softly. The other lioness obviously looked tired and more than a little jumpy. "I brought you a hare in case you were hungry either now or a little later." Noticing the freshly groomed damp patches of the other's coat, she offered a bit of a smile. "Mind if I join you? I had to do a bit of digging when this thing went to ground." She said, giving the hare a nudge with her paw.

That stiff, wobbly, hesitant walk was a bit worrisome. Perhaps she wasn't adjusting well. What if she wasn't feeling well? If that were the case then either she would have to bring the other lioness to visit her uncle Namir or go ask him to come check out the Beybanu. She understood that he couldn't actually touch her without Ouran's permission, but if she was indeed feeling under the weather, he could at least hear out her aches, pains, or complaints and give her something to help. However, if she wasn't sick, then Isra figured that she could see if she could be a help to her. It was her job after all and they were harem sisters now. They looked out for each other.

Isra smiled and shook her head. "It's okay, Zuraya. I don't mind." She lowered her voice to something just over a whisper. "Yes, I could tell. You have been seeming a little rough around the edges. Have you been feeling okay, I mean, besides not sleeping well? You haven't eaten anything bad or are coming down with something, I hope." The statement was somewhat of an inquiry.

She didn't make a move for the hare or the other lioness when it was claimed by the slightly retreating Beybanu. "Thank you," She said with a small, polite nod of her head. Isra waited until Zuraya settled down and started eating before moving a little deeper into the den, taking a seat a little ways from the other. Letting Zuraya eat for a few minutes, she took the opportunity to groom some of the dirt from her coat before speaking. "If you're still hungry, I could get you another of those. There's a small warren of them some ways off." She paused again, as if mulling a thought over. "Zuraya, if you need to talk or whatever, I'll always be here. If talking to our Pad isn't an option, I'm never far away if you need me..."
