Just as Kairav was going to grin smugly at the older juvenile, he was quickly caught by surprise. As Sewelo had the advantage now, with bigger and slightly stronger than the little cub. With the leopon's paws curled around his body in the semblence of a hug, he wiggled and squirmed, "You don't have me...you just think you do!" He stuck out his tongue playfully at the older juvenile.
The white lioness smiled gently at Sen, "It's understandable. Both Ravi and I are of Firekin blood." Sevati nodded to the lioness before she spoke again, "Our den is always open to friends and family. Plus, I think Kairav and Sewelo get along great!" She was happy that her son didn't have any problems making friends, as she snuck a glance in their direction.
With a slight nod, Ravi was pleased at the lioness' words. "It would be a pleasure then, to show you the ropes. I can show you all of the good spots that Kota showed me. Some of the places have amazing views of the pridelands!" There was one place that he loved to go and watch the sunrise or sunset, depending on the time of day, with his family. "Plus, I can help introduce you to any other members that you haven't already met." He nodded, the pair knew the whole pride now so if Sen needed any assistance, they would be more than willing to help out.

The gentle smile eased the red lioness, though the knowledge of their blood made her ears fall. It wasn't fright or ill feelings, but embarrassment, she had spoken badly of a group she knew so little about and inadvertently insulted her new friends. The fact they weren't angry with her was slightly puzzling but a greater relief. Paying closer attention to both, she had no idea they were the creatures she was taught to fear, how could one tell? While curious now about the pride of dark nightmares, of stories that might be truth or lies, it was not the Firekin she was trying to join. Thanks be to the sea, the pride that welcomed her and her brood was the one she was more curious about.
Smiling she looked to her cub, "It is so nice, as well, to see Sewelo with friends outside of his siblings. I look forward to them all making new friends." She adored her cubs more than life itself, but wanted them to have the chance to make the connections with others for one day they would surely wish to have families of their own, though she wouldn't complain one bit if they stayed with her forever, though the den would need to be moved around a bit.
Excited about the prospect of being shown the ropes and see the whole of the pridal lands, she could barely contain her excitement. Front paws raised a few inches and dropped in a small dance like movement she thought over her words before she blurted out as had been the intention. Just blurting had being an insult to their Firekin heritage, she was going to try and learn from that mistake. "I am ready anytime you are, perhaps when you go on your next patrol?" She didn't want to take him away from time with his family and intrude.
Sewelo grinned broadly, proud of his turn-of-play. With witty reply in hand, he started, as something caught his attention, "I so have..bird!" A sea bird was pecking at something of interest to it. Plan in mind, he released his hugging hold on the younger cub and asked, "Have you ever tried to catch one of those? We sometimes try to play tag with them, but they generally fly away." We meaning his siblings, it was a game they attempted, but a well coordinated hunting pride they were not. If it wasn't one argument over how to go about it while they were already going after the bird, or someone bolting forward to take the bragging rights, it always failed. Most of the time, it was still fun.

Once Sewelo mentioned the bird, Kairav turned his attention to the bird. His gaze followed the bird's movements curiously. At the leopon's question, he shook his head. "No, I haven't. I don't think any of my brothers or sisters would even want to try with me." He stuck out his tongue. "That sounds like fun though!" He nodded.
With a nod, Ravi replied. "Alright. My next patrol tomorrow is during the morning right before the sun rises. We can meet here on the shore before I take you around." He looked at Sevi before he chuckled softly, "I think we should head back to collect the rest of our cubs. I wouldn't want them to completely take over Siya and Zarin now!"
At her mate's words, Sevati laughed softly, "I'm sure Siya can handle them, but I don't know about Zarin!" She turned towards Sewelo and Kairav before she called her son, "Kairav, we need to get going!" Once she knew that her son had heard her, she turned back towards Sen and smiled, "I hope we see each other real soon. I know you'll more than likely see some of our cubs running aorund. Thanks for letting Kairav play with Sewelo."

Before sunrise, that would be no problem. Committing the time and place to memory, a few seconds was diverted so she could look around and ensure the bearings were correct. With a nod, she verbally affirmed as well, "I'll be here, and thank you." This was a great chance, holding herself in check was hard.
Hearing they were leaving, she knew it was best she got herself home as well, so she could get the hunting done for her family and be ready for the next day and its incredible adventure. The names spoken by the lioness were put to memory as well. Assuming she had ever gotten the nerve to actually ask for cub sitters, it would be good to know who would be good to turn to and who would not be. Watching her own cub, she could see he was a bit confused why his new playmate had to leave, so she tried to make it easier, "Its time for us to go as well, Sewelo, I know you are hungry and I am sure your siblings would like to eat as well." Holding off the debate on if she should bring her cubs with her or not for the walk home, her attention turned back to the adults.
Smiling she commented, "I hope to see you again soon as well, Sevati. I know Sewelo will be very eager to see Kairav." She hoped they would see her cubs, as she would continue to encourage them to go and meet friends in their pride. Even if she wasn't a full official member, this was her pride and the only one her cubs had ever known.
Sewelo pouted to all adults that happened to be looking at him. That wasn't fair, they were just about to play a new game and they had to go home. Play came before food, but obedience to his mother was above all else. Sighing, he looked to his new friend and said, "Good bye." Turning, he bound to his mother's side and waited for her to start the walk home.
Sen looked to her son, giving him a nuzzle before looking up and sending her farewell, "Good day." With a slight head bow, she started to turn and then waited.

Just as Kairav was standing up, his mother's voice called him. Darn, they had to go. His ears lowered slightly, they just had to get going didn't they? He looked at Sewelo and smiled, "Bye Sewelo! I will see you soon!" As he bade his friend farewell, he wandered back towards his mother and father.
With a nod, Ravi replied, "That's settled then. I will see you bright and early!" He gave her a lopsided grin before he turned his attention back towards his son wandering over to them. There would be plenty of other times to play. He then glanced at Sen and Sewelo, "Don't be a stranger." He added lightly before heading off with his mate and son to collect the rest of their litter.
As her son wandered over, Sevati licked his cheek affectionately, "Don't worry, you'll get to play with Sewelo soon enough, Kairav." She looked back at Sen and Sewelo as she smiled brightly, "Have a great day!" After bading them a farewell, she turned towards Siya and Zarin's den to go and collect the rest of her cubs.
Fin.
