Mika'il had been following Na'ilah's scent for some time. He hadn't seen the lioness since their talk many months ago. He had traveled for some time and began to notice that he was feeling at ease, like this could be his home. In the distance was a gathering of lions and lionesses around a single female. He then noticed Na'ilah and smiled. He had found her at last! Making his way over, he wondered if she was going to stay here because by the looks of it, it seemed like it. In a clear voice, he called out, "Hello."
((Just putting Mika'il here to be accepted into the pride since he follows Na'ilah wherever she goes. whee ))

With so many new faces about, all struggling to get the queen's attention, it was a huge relief to finally see someone Mchele knew. There! Just beside his mother Mchele spotted the silent young lion he knew to be her son. And he knew his name now too! Uumi had told him it before the red twin had disappeared from the pride just like his sister.
He looked about to take a step forward but hung his paw midstep, suddenly realising he didn't want to join in the commotion. Instead he called out hopefully. "Kijito?"

 Sarabi flicked her tail, a purr rumbling deep in her chest as her missing son returned to her side. She hadn't seen him in far to long, and some of the tension left her lean body. Even relaxed as she might seem, there was always that worry she had when her cubs were gone from her. It was the lifting of a great weight to see one of them again. "It if very nice to meet you, Chinara, Adanna, Nukta, and Na'ilah. My name is Sarabi, and its seems you all already know that I'm the queen of the Pridelanders. And it also seems that you've all come here for the same reason, to join our pride." The creamy lioness shifted on her haunches, her smile warm and welcoming. "Its a very good feeling to know that tales of our growing pride have traveled so far, and that so many see the good things we have and wish to share them.... But."Here the Queen paused, and it was indeed as the Queen that Sarabi spoke next, drawing her frail body up to its full sitting-height, her kind, motherly face stern as any mother's will be when faced with cubs that may or may not have been getting into trouble. Little Ezeoha she pulled back against her stomach with her large paw, effectively keeping the cub from making any more appeals on behalf of his new friends. "Some lions would take advantage of the easy life we live here. Our blessings are so bountiful because we take care of them, not just those creatures that are part of the pride. If you wish to stay, I ask only that you respect the delicate balance of these beautiful lands. If some creatre needs help, give it. Only take what you need, and don't waste it. Those of you old enough to hunt, you may feed yourselves as you wish, but any extra should be brought back to the den so everyone may share it." Her bright crimson eyes, her legacy to her children and grandchildren, softened. "We have many cubs, and those like myself who can't hunt on our own. It'll be your job to bring back enough food to feed us, and yourselves. If you can agree to that... I'd personally like to welcome you to our Pride, and thank you for coming to us." The sleek golden head dipped in respect and thanks to the lions gathered around her. It was their choice now, if they hadn't already made it.

Listening to the queen's words, Na'ilah would do her hardest to help in making this pride get what they needed. Nodding her head, "I can agree to that, Queen Sarabi. I am grateful for this chance to be apart of a pride such as this." She smiled before turning to Mika'il who had finally shown his appearance among the group. "Mika'il! You've made it, it's good to see you." Turning back to Sarabi, "This lion is my best friend, Mika'il. I hope he can join in on this pride as well."

Mika'il came close to the group and listened to everything that the queen had said, or the last part of it at least. He smiled to Na'ilah before bowing his head to the queen, "Since I have been beaten to the introductions, I am Mika'il and it is a pleasure to meet you, Queen," He paused before speaking again, "Na'ilah has also spoke of what I have already came here for, and I can agree to the terms you have put down." He waited for an answer and hoped the queen would accept him as well.

Chinara listened to the queen tell herself and the newcomers of their burdens if they wished to join the pride. "I can hunt bugs an' stuff!" she chirped up, smiling innocently. And just to show her willingness, a beetle had managed to poke up from the dirt, and scurry by the cub.
Immediately China scrambled after it. It circled the rock which the queen lay on, and she stumbled after it. Then it dodged underneath Ezeoha, and the cub leapt for it, diving underneath the cub, flopping onto her tender belly. Alas, the beetle spread it's wings and flew off. This left Chinara grinning sheepishly at Sarabi. "Weww.. I'm just tiwed, is aww.." she scoffed, and crawled up from underneath Ezeoha.

Ezeoha was pulled against his grandmother's stomach, and the little cub opened his mouth to immediately protest against her actions. But the little cub clamped his mouth down and only managed to try and give his grandmother a pleading look. That was all he could do now on the behalf of his friends. Grandmother fell into a long speech that Ezeoha swore he was going to fall asleep during it not merely from it's length, but because it seemed less enthusiastic, as if she had prepared it over and over again to give to every lion wanting to join in their pride.
He practically screamed as Chinara leapt for the bug, and inevitably towards him. "Heeeeyyyy! Watch where you're goin' Chi!" The little cub scrambled on top of his new friend, trying to get off of her so he could properly chase her around and scold her for chasing a beetle from under him. "You're not only tired, but silly crazy!" He said with a firm nod of his head.

Nukta listened through all of Sarabi's greeting, his ears receeding to rest atop his skull as her look turned stern. It reminded him so much of the mother that he'd left behind and the trouble that he and his brother used to get into, he couldn't help it!
At the latter half of the initiation speech Nukta listened while chewing over the words spoken. Huh... this place sounded like it was going to be a lot about respect and balance. Waste not, helping other creatures in need, not just of the pride? For a moment the adolescent gave a shamed frown as if the Queen had read his mind, he thought back to the cheetah he'd had that spat of a misunderstanding with. He wondered idly if she and that mate of hers were doing alright now. At least he'd only been out to give her a little scare, he'd been in a bad mood.... He'd just have to try harder now that they were within the Pridelands. Hunting and bringing back the excess, he could do that. He'd also actually be glad to help out here and there with the hunting, as asked. He was able, so why not?
"Thanks... I'll do whatever I can." He offered, his inexperience in this area clearly showing. Manners... just not something he'd had much teachings in. The fact that he could sense that he should be using them just made him seem unsure of himself amongst the group. He was glad Adanna was there to speak for the both of them.

Adanna listened with respectful attention to Sarabi as she talked, telling them of how they had to do their part. They had to be a member of the society and live by what was best for the whole, not only for themselves.
Despite having been a wanderer for so long, it all made sense to Ada. They couldn't just come and live here and take and take without trying to give anything back. It was a fair trade, wasn't it?
She didn't think she'd have any problems with this sort of requirement. Wasting was something she had never really been able to do, since travelers often did not know when their next meal was. Since this was no longer a problem, sharing was something Ada was willing to do without a problem.
"Thank you for being so welcoming," Ada said with a smile and a dip of her head in a nod, "We'll be sure to abide by your rules and expectations."

(( xd *jumps on the Arch Bandwagon!*
Nukta Meaning: Second. Title: Youth Parents: Bahktu x Ilaria Siblings: ??? First [Brother] Half-siblings: -- Mate: Adanna Offspring: Pending 2 Played by: Tahja Estes Description: Nukta is one of the more broody lions you'll come across. He comes off as irritable and introverted, and doesn't open up easily to others. He witnessed his brother's murder by the fangs of a rogue Hyena when he was just a cub, too scared to move or go for help. The incident has left him with deep seeded feelings of guilt and a bit of self loathing buried beneath the surface. He traveled to the Pridelands with Adanna, first an aquaintance, then friend, then sister, then best friend, and now his mate. She's the only lion that knows of Nukta's past. He's very protective and territorial of her, for she doesn't judge him for the things he has or hasn't done.
XD *RAMBLE*))
