As Udo listened to the conversation between the two he seemed to be in his own little world. When the elephant asked Siti if he was her child, he looked down at himself studding his features then her own. He could pass as her son, with the color of some of his markings, plus really he could pass more of his father if he wanted to say that was his real mother. He used to be very independant but now he really wasn't...
He broke out of his own world once more, he shifted back some on the branch then looked at the female and smiled. "Thank you for letting me know that." He looked toward the two, at Siti's question he nodded. HE looked down at his paws making sure that his claws weren't out. He causiously started to move foreward on the back, trying his hardest to keep his ballance as he did.

Siti made herself comfortable lying down on her old friends back. She remembered taking rides as they traveled when she was tired. She had seen so much of the lands this way, from the back of an elephant. It was only a lucky few who were able to do so.
She looked to Udo motioning for him to hang tight before she padded her paw on Alma, as she had down when she was young and Alma began to make her way toward the rest of the herd.
Alma walked slowly, but there was plently of room on her back for the two to move around without falling even if she was moving faster. Afterall she was much larger than both of them.
As she made it back into the herd she called out, "Look who I found. It Little Siti and she has a cub. Not to mention, by the looks of it is with cubs."
Other elephants starting to approach Alma, faces Siti now recognized a few she did not, all young one.
"Hello all," Siti called, "I have missed you dearly." Siti motioned to Udo. "This is Udo'Tao."

It took him a few seconds before he felt more comfurable with her moving before he slowly sat down. He smiled as he goted more used to the movement and feeling of the large creature moving under him. He looked with his grin growing more he was enjoying this, he still had a bit of nervousness in him but that was natural for your first time of something right?
He looked around at the other Elephants and then slunk a little closer to Siti. He smiled a little shyly before looking around once more. It was high up there. When he heard his name he turned back to the others. "Hello!" He smiled a little more as Siti introduced him. "Its nice to meet some of Siti's old friends." He said a little quietly.

The other elephants all greeted Siti and Udo, each offering up a small hug with their trunks and Alma stayed still for it all. Alma than knelt, "It should be easy for you to jump from my head Siti and remember to mind the claw."
Alma lifted her trunk and wrapped it around Udo, "It will be simpler if I just place you on the ground," she stated.
Siti hopped down from her perch and noticed that Alma intented to simply lift Udo down. She looked to the cub and nodded letting him know it was okay, just in case he was frightened.
Several elephants approached Siti ready to engage her in conversation and a few very young calves watched her with interest. Siti was more interested in making sure Udo was okay before she became reaquaintted. "I hope you do not mind playing with baby elephants because I think these three are eager to meet you. Siti motioned to the three calves off to the the side of the good, staring with such interest.

Udo'Tau smiled softly as he greeted all of the elephants that approched. He chuckled a bit as he watched them, looking over at Siti every now and again to see if he was doing anything wrong then would turn his attetion back toward all of the elephants. He was very much enjoying himself, he had never done anything lke this. But when a trunk was wrapped around him he stiffened then looked at Siti again, and at her nod he relaxed once more.
It took him a moment to catch his ballance again when she set him down. He grinned proud of himself before he wandered toward Siti's side. His tail egarly flicking behind him. Then when Siti mentioned the calves he looked toward them and then looked up at Siti once more. "Are you sure Siti?" He scrunched his brow before looking at the elephants again. "They are really big." He was afraid of getting hurt, he wasn't sure why but he was.

Siti was happy Udo seemed to be enjoying himself. When she was younger she had greatly enjoyed her time with them as well. Siti giggled at Udo statement about the elephant calves being big, but she knew they would be gently.
"Do not worry, they will be careful and they are gentle. The little ones are well aware of how big they are. Go on if you like, just watch out if you get near water you might get sprayed."
Siti turned to her old friend and engaged in conversation about how life had gone for her since she left and how life had change for Alma as well. It was typical catching up conversation.
(you can control the elephants if you like)

[[Kay. :3]]
Udo'Tau looked toward Siti then nodded, before looking forward again. He was slightly nervous about moving forward despite Siti's words he still was unsure about the creatures. It took him a moment before looking up at one that was getting closer to him. He stared at the trunk of the elephant before slinking forward slightly, leaving the comfort of Siti's side.
It didn’t take him that long before he was boldly walking up to a group of calves. A large grin spread on his face as he romped around with the elephants. Running around in-between their legs in games of tag, and even wandering up to the water with them and splashing around a bit. He was having a good time and was making good friends with the elephants.
He was grinning ear to ear as he rode on one of the calves’ backs after playing with them for a while. His fur slightly damp and his ‘mane’ all messed up from the water. He jumped off then nuzzled the elephant’s trunk. “Thank you Aed!” He grinned at the elephant before turning around with a small item in his jaws he wandered to Siti quickly and put a shell at Siti’s paws. “Look what I found!” He puffed out his chest proudly. “This is for you mom.” He nudged it forward before looking up at her. It was most likely the first time that he ever called her mom; a grin was still on his face as he looked between her and the shell.

Siti sat with all her old friends chatting talking about her future cubs. How many Siti would have and what they would look like. There was much congratulations from her old friends and it was such an odd site to see. A lion surrounded by elephants talking on such friendly terms.
"What of Udo?" Alma asked Siti, "will he be staying with you?"
Siti looked at Alma, she thought it was an odd question. He been with her so far and she did not see any reason for him to leave. "I just assumed her would continue to travel with me. I do not see any reason for him to leave."
Alma just gave Siti a look. She wondered where the cub had come from and if he would one day desire to go back but she did not voice her opinion.
Just than Udo came over, his mane was wet and his mane messy, but Siti thought it was the cutest thing she had ever seen. She looked at him curiously when he place an orange fan shaped calm at her paws. It was slightly open but had nothing inside it and Siti thought it was beautiful.
She was very surprised by the gift, but more surprised by Udo's words. He had called he mom and Siti heart swell with pride. "Thank you very much. It is beautiful. I love it."
Siti picked up the shell and nuzzled Udo's cheek. She was happy to have him, her 'son'.
Alma watched the scene and smiled. It looked like maybe Siti was right, maybe Udo would stay with her. Alma turned and grabbed a small, thin, new branch and stripped it.
"Siti, may I see your shell?"
Siti looked to Alma and handed over the shell.
Alma handed the shell to another elephant standing by and then pulled thin branch between the small space in the shell. Then the two tied the new necklace around Siti neck.
Siti smiled, "thank you."
"Your welcome," they said.
"I think we have had enough adventure for one day. It was lovely to see you all again and I hope to see you again someday soon, but I should get back to Jishin before she begins to wonder where we are."
Siti turned to Udo, "Are you ready?"

Udo'Tau grinned proudly as he watched the way his 'mother' reacted to the neckalace. He felt like maybe he could finally trust some one other than his now lost sister. He showed it in his own way... But he showed it. He was starting to open up and in the back of his mind he was wondering if he could tell Siti his past. He hadn't yet, but was it close to time. He nuzzled her back softly, a little surprised at that, something he wasn't used to.
He grinned ear to ear as he watched the elephant turn the shell he had given Siti into a neckalace. That made him proud. It reminded him of himself, he wanted her to think of him like a child of her own, like the others.
"Yes mom." He tried out the word again he didn't seem any harm in it. He flicked his hair out of his eyes before shifting on his paws. "It was nice meeting you Alma." He nodded to her with a large grin still on his face before he turned back toward Siti waiting for her to lead.

Siti smiled at Udo as he called her mom again. She felt really happy and excited. It seemed like the start of a new chapter in her life. Offically a mommy. It was the best feeling and better yet, her new cubs would have a great big brother.
She looked to her old friend who were waving, "Goodbye everyone."
She looked to Udo and Siti smiled, "Off we go then," she said leading the way back to the den.

Udo looked at Siti again his tail flicking around happily behind him as he did. He had so much fun this day. He wasn't too sure when was the last time he had that much fun. Or if he even ever had that much fun. That was something he never really thought about.
He grinned once more to his mom before walking forward, easily and happily keeping up with her, a growing grin on his face. Such a good day he was part of a family and now it was set in the back of his mind, he was going to be happy again.
And they were off back toward their home.
Fin.
