"Reeeeaaally? There are LOTS of frogs there?" Whoa, what kind of place was it? An underwater place? It must be a really wet place... She sue hoped they didn't eat frogs! She didn't really think they would taste that good - they looked kinda slimy and smelled funny too. "We're gonna moove! We're gonna find frogs!" Siyara started prancing, speaking in a sing-song voice. "Away, to a new place! We're gonna --"
Wait.
Siyara froze, thought for a moment, then stared up at her mother.
"We're gonna move somewhere else? WHO is? Just you an' me an' Noki? What about Pepo and Kichea and the others? We can't just leave them! Right, Noki? We just CAN'T!"
Siyara wasn't going ANYWHERE without her whole family! She would plant her feet right here in the mud and make them dig her out if they wanted her to leave her other siblings, frogs or no frogs!

Noki perked up at the mention of there being lots of frogs, the idea of moving not even striking her at first. She was more concerned about how excited Siyara would be about the frogs- they could definitely find more together if there were a lot of them around, there was just no question to it at that point. She smiled and looked over to Siyara as she pranced around happily.
It hadn't even occurred to Noki that the three of them could separate from each other. Sure, daddy hadn't been around from the very start, but other than that they were always together. No one could leave, it was just impossible!
"Don't be silly, Siyara! We're not going anywhere without everyone else," Noki squeaked, then anxiously looked at their mother, "R-right?"
Amadet laughed, watching Siyara excitedly dance around and sing about how they were going somewhere where there would be a lot of frogs. She wasn't too surprised that the cubs easily figured out this was moving and not just a visit, they'd always stayed in one general area so moving made a bit more sense than just wandering around forever. Hopefully they would like it in the swamps.
"Everyone is coming," she assured them, "Pepo, Kichea, Moyo, Shemshi and daddy too. It's where daddy is from, I bet he could help you find all kinds of frogs."

"Oh, well then that's okay!" Siyara exclaimed. "As long as we're all going, it's okay!" After all, she'd learned some things from all of her observations of nature. One of those things was the importance of family! At least with some creatures. Others ate each other, but they didn't count, Siyara decided.
"I guess I was bein' silly, huh Noki?" She laughed and nuzzled her sister on the cheek. "Now we'll have to show EVERYONE the frog things when we find them in our new home, huh?"
Wow! How exciting! She wondered how far away the new home was. It was probably far far away - she bet they'd walk a day at least! Such an adventure couldn't be taken lightly, of course.
"Do we hafta do somethin' to get ready for it?" She asked, peering up at her mother excitedly.

Despite Noki's confident words, she was relieved to hear her mother's reassurance about everyone. Siyara really was just being silly! It'd have been bad if she'd picked up on something that no one else did, something like that.. they couldn't be separated from everyone, that would just be so sad. She leaned against Siyara happily, nodding at the idea of showing everyone some frogs.
"Yeah!" she beamed.
"Yes, you silly girls," Amadet laughed, more than happy to go along with it if it meant focusing on something other than how it would not be quite as she described. They would be all right, in the long run. She beamed at them as they planned what to do with all of the frogs.
"I'm sure everyone will love seeing frogs, you two can make sure everyone gets a chance to see," she said, "There's nothing to do to get ready, we're just waiting until we're sure we're all ready. What do you think? Should we go soon?"

Siyara purred and nuzzled her sister, and her heart seemed warm and happier than ever before. What would she do without her family around her? Her gaze transfered to her mother and she smiled, unable to contain her contentedness.
"Yeah! We should leave today!" Siyara beamed, her heart pounding now in excitement. A journey! A new land to explore, filled with hoppers and all sorts of great things! She wondered if there many lions where they were going, but the thought was a passing one. Who needed anything but family? Her, Noki, Kichea, Pepo... all of them were always going to be together.
Life was good, and bound to only get better!
"You n' me, Noki, we'll stick together huh?" She leaned against her sister's warm side. "We'll all always be together, right Mama?"

Noki purred delightedly and nuzzled back against Siyara, but seemed almost to panic when suddenly Siyara suggested leaving right that very day. She wasn't sure how she felt about sudden changes, but then.. the idea was really exciting! As long as they were all together, then what would the problem be. The small yellow cub nodded, beaming at Siyara when she said they would always be together. That was exactly how Noki wanted things to be!
"Today!" Amadet repeated after her youngest daughter with a laugh, "I don't know, do you think we could get everyone together and get going before today is finished?" She beamed at the girls, glad to see them as enthusiastic as Pepo had been. It made her feel better about what she was about to do, but the next comments were quite the opposite. However, they came up a lot, it was almost as if they could sense what was about to happen. She had become very good at hiding her worries about it, though.
"Of course," she said reassuringly, changing the subject rather quickly "Let's go see if we can find everyone else, maybe we can get everyone together today."
(Good place to end, I think. <3)
