User ImageThe morning after the big reveal found Hamdan at his favourite spot, a cool watering hole, not big enough for any crocodiles or hippos to inhabit, surrounded by lush trees and perfectly shaded for when the hot African sun reached its zenith. He even had the perfect spot to lay, the grass and dirt there moulded to his shape after many an hour spent snoozing.

He was the lord of the watering hole, or so he liked to think, and he was awaiting his subjects (see also: friends), who would come before him and fill him in on all the juicy gossip they had available. And oh, there was plenty to talk about. Three new royal cubs had been announced and the pride had celebrated not just them but also the return of the king and queen.

Hamdan had been very busy, an artisan of his calibre was in high demand during such times. He had graciously provided his voice, creating ballads in honour of the three new cubs. But now, with the morning sun just beginning to climb, it was a time for rest and chitchat.

He hoped Kicheko and Ikarta would arrive soon.

Kicheko had been seething throughout the day. She hadn't been able to approach the King nor the Queen yet, because once their cubs had been spotted - with a disappointing amount of heads, if you asked her - they'd all been crowded so much that they'd stuck around long enough to get some things sorted before seemingly retiring again. She just hoped that their absence wouldn't be nearly as long as the first three days.

More to the point of her anger, she'd found out the names of the cubs and had been complaining to her beloved, and her brother the moment she found out.
"Surely she couldn't have been named after him! I didn't think he was so beloved by the Royalty - oh, Haha, what if he is favored by the King or Queen, then I go and complain about him? I don't want to be kicked out of the pride!" She had bemoaned to her brother the night before, for all that he would hear of it. On the flip side, she barely heard anything that he may have had to say to her in response. She'd gone to bed early that night, tucked between her loved ones, but slept fitfully, with dreams of an anger male lion barreling down at her.

By the time that she woke up, she looked dreadful. She went on a hunt, as was her dawn duty and stumbled through the patrol. By the time she'd been excused, she decided it was time to take Hamdan up on his offer to join him at his waterhole. Surely some time with her friends would perk her up, or maybe she could nap through the more boring parts of their conversation, or if they stared too deeply into each other's eyes...

Shaking herself when she spotted Hamdan's notable pelt, she headed straight toward him and plopped herself at the water's edge, her front two paws sloshing into the water.

"Hamdan, did you hear? One of the cubs has his name! If it turns out that dung-shaped lion is a favorite of the King or Queen, they'll never hear me out about my complaint and I'll be as good as dead the next time I see him!" She wailed, splashing her paws pitifully around in the water.

Hamdan was grooming his paws when Kicheko arrived and he paused mid-lick, eyes widening in delight and tail giving a flicker of welcome. There was no need for proper hello’s, they were diving straight into the meaty gossip and Hamdan was 100% here for it.

“I did hear!” He crowed, shifting himself enough to reach out and pat her shoulder consolingly, not that he looked all that bothered by the news. “Oh I wouldn’t be so concerned,” he tutted, with a shake of his head. “You should be delighted. It’s a female cub. Now he has to watch our new princess grow up with his name.”

Hamdan gave a loud laugh that startled some of the birds in the nearby trees.

“Besides, it’s a common enough name and I doubt that our king and queen care enough about him to name their daughter after him. In fact, with her birth, there will probably be 10 more Kiburi’s on the way and then he’s left being boring and common..”

His grin stretched cheekily. “Next time I see him, I’ll ask if he’s named after the princess. He’ll hate that, I’m sure.”

Ikarta finaly made it to the watering hole, her chest heaving from her doing another quick scouting and running her fuzzy tail off to get here. She came trotting over and did a flop in a classic Sphinx position beside Kicheko and huffed out “ what did I miss? “. She opened her jaws to pant for a moment, her heart rate was still high but she was missing all the juicy gossip and she came as fast as she could. Her eyes look between them with a subtle back and forth, she feels like she missed something really juicy, her ears were perked forward with interest as she splayed her paws out in front of her. She hadn’t heard what the names of the cubs were, just saw they had only one head each and none looked like Hamdan thankfully.

Makaa Had had her fill of the rambling of the pride from the earlier event. New cubs were here which bench-marked the future of the ruling family becoming ever so much more solid. She loves gossip and rumors even though she was a Guard much like her father and she had come for the spilling of the tea so to speak. She couldn't hear what they were talking about yet but she watched Ikarta do her flop, pant and took for the same thing she was going to go find out. What the latest buzz was.
She trotted her fore speckled self right on up, her frame was large, one of the biggest females in the pride and it was no wonder why she wanted to be a Guard and train with the males. She slowed her pace as she neared Hamdan's end of the group and grinned a wry smile at all of them speaking in her slightly deeper tone " Well well wweeelllll. Seems I am late for something if Ikarta is so interested. I had to help the Guards wrangle the pride into a more productive state." She had herself a seat next to Hamdan and her fiery eyes landed on Kicheko with a glimmer. "And what's this I heard that you were being mischievous Kicheko? " She chuckled out, Kicheko was a known for little things like this but she was also fun because of it and Makaa's face shone with amusement.
