this was funny to make ngl
Neteyam, Lo'ak, Jake, and Tonowari reacting to their female mate practicing to be intimidating
(and maybe failing miserably rip)

Neteyam walks towards your hut, coming home from a hunt and the first thing he wanted to do was to hang out with you, to have his head on your lap as you sing to him.
But as he was a few steps away, he could hear a faint hiss, followed by an almost strangled growl. Neteyam's protective manner jumped out as he thinks you were in danger as he swiftly moves faster to reach you.
Coming in the entrance, his movement halts as your back was faced to him, his face contort into confusion as there wasn't any sign of danger, there was no one there.
But you were stood, hissing and growling, more attempt has your voice straining, making your growl more grumbled.
Neteyam almost seemed amused as he watched, but he wanted to know why were you doing this.
"My love-" Neteyam's hands raised as you snap towards him. Then your eyes widened as you shout. "Neteyam!"
Neteyam can't help the smile and laugh that erupts from him. "My love, what were you doing?" He walks up to you.
You then pout as your mate was laughing at you. "I mean what you were doing is great... But why?" He asked, hands going to hold your arms.
"I thought I'd try to be more intimidating..." You admitted. Neteyam chuckled before he pulls you to him, hugging you. "You don't need that, yawne."
"Yes, I do!" You muttered from his chest.
"What if I need to protect you or when those girls were taking too long looking at y-"
"Hey, hey, what?" Neteyam looks down at you. You shut up and shake your head. "Nothing."
"Girls staring at me, huh?" Neteyam smirked.
This time you finally let out a threatening hiss at Neteyam at the mention of those girls looking at him.
Neteyam's eyes widened as he slowly nods, face leaning down to meet yours.
"That'll scare them my love, but that was hot."

"What- hold on!" Lo'ak laughed as he caught you trying to practice your hissing and growling and Lo'ak had mistaken it for a stray viperwolf pup.
"I hate you!" You pout. Lo'ak shakes his head, going over to you as he clutches his stomach from laughing. "Wait truly I did not think that was you. Give- give me a second."
You playfully shoved Lo'ak away as you frowned. After Lo'ak had finally composed himself, he looks at you.
"Why were you hissing and growling out here in the middle of the forest? You know someone could mistake you for a predator."
"I wanted to do it where no one could see me." You answered, frown still evident on your face as Lo'ak leaned in to place a light kiss on your forehead, making you feel better.
"It was intimidating, I'll give you that, I thought you were a wolf. But I need you to promise me to teach me sometime. My siblings say I need someone to teach me how to hiss."
You laugh, leaning onto his touch.
"Okay, lessons start tomorrow, mister."
ೃ⁀➷ J a k e
You draw your bow, hissing for the nth time that day, trying to look intimidating. Then you switch to your dagger, growling at the empty air, imagining the Sky People were attacking you.
"Baby, have you seen my- woah." Jake stops in his tracks hands raised in surrender as you faced him, your dagger in hand as your fangs were bared at him.
"Uh... What's... What's this?" Jake asked, walking closer to you. You stood straight, sheathing your dagger back in its holster as you blushed.
"Nothing.." You answer. Jake tilts his head at you.
"Were you the one making noises from earlier?"
"Probably...?" You say. "What're you doing this for? Are you planning to murder me in my sleep?" Jake jokingly says making you roll your eyes.
"If I had maybe I wouldn't be your mate now, would I?" You retaliate, but you sigh. "I was just.. Trying to be intimidating if the time comes when... they come back."
"Aw, baby." Jake said, cupping your neck to crane it to him as he leaves a kiss on your forehead.
"You don't gotta worry about that now, okay?" Jake looked at you as you nodded closing your eyes for a brief second before opening them to look at him again.
Then his famous smirk creeps up onto his face.
"Now, come have fun with your husband."

Tonowari had his free time in the afternoon, having completed his duties today as olo'eyktan.
He was walking toward your shared marui when he spots your familiar figure in the sand by the shore.
He figured he was going to see you in your marui, but he was now making his way towards you.
He was about to greet you when he heard you hiss. He was about to open his mouth again when you hissed, this time a lot... Meaner than the last one that has him squinting.
"What is troubling you, my dear?" Tonowari's voice sounded from behind you, making you jump and look up at him. "Tonowari." You greet, feeling embarrassment at getting caught.
"Nothing- nothing is troubling me..."
Tonowari doesn't believe it for a second. You knew lying was no use, he could read you like an open book as you did him.
With a sigh, you tell the truth. "I overheard people saying that they haven't seen me hiss... I figured I had to try it out for myself and maybe I looked mean."
Tonowari chuckles, shaking his head at you but you begin to pout. His eyes blinked before he reached out to you.
"No such thing, I think your hiss is pretty scary."
Your eyes lit up, then you growled at him, catching him by surprise as he looks at you bewildered.
Tonowari nervously chuckles, wrapping an arm around you. "I think that is enough for today, my dear."
