Sabasi's Fascination with Shenzi
(Rephrased from Lilymud with greater clarity and more detail...)


Sabasi is obsessed with Shenzi in an adolescent/teenage "I'm too disassociative and sullen to deign to care about normal people, but whoa hormones, so lets channel them at the most powerful, un-normal female hyena in the clan" sort of way. o_o The overall effect of this on him is for the worst, it just solidifies for him tendencies that were brewing but could possibly have been minimized if they weren't re-inforced by what he saw in her, the hyenas around her, and Scar's "court". The obsession does loose some of it's edge eventually, but vestiges of it cling--that's probably the first thing he and Kasiri fall out over, Kasiri starts feeling the sad state of affairs and wondering how competent Shenzi is and Sabasi jumps down his throat,) ...He just gets older and once the Pridelands stint is done and Shenzi exits the sentiment is...retired from active service. The experience remains with him however and in a small way contributes to his eventual exile from the clan.


Did anything ever come of it? No. He was a teen, and short of being included in the odd mission/assignment as a willing participant, he never makes it into that inner circle of the clan, Shenzi doesn't really know him beyond a name and a face or give him any thought.
