Lulu felt this females where her family. It pained her that she felt they were more so than her mothers and her brother. Poor Shai. She missed him so and she missed the scents of her mothers. Together they smelled of flowers. She tried to keep happy and cheerful when she could and some nights, she had to snuggle against whom ever would allow and seek comfort. She looked too the two girls and felt proud of them. Proud like a mom would.
At some point she felt Soro's eyes upon her and she glanced his way, her purple eyes a bit confused. He was starting to frighten her and she knew not why. She felt nervous around him. Afraid. She was afraid of him perhaps.
But she wouldn't show it. No sir. "It was a fine catch. Now just to teach you how to kill it swift so it won't get away! Just a good chomp on a mouse'll do it!"

Grendel listened to his father in awe. He never knew females could do all that if they didn't have males around to correct them. Of course, he was always sure to tell his father when his mother wasn't doing her motherly duties or when his sisters were acting out. He liked to keep his father informed, like daddy's little helper. He also loved to watch his father punish the females. One day he would have a female who respected him just like Lorelei respected Soro.
He grinned and sat up on his back paws, using his fore paws to catch the skull as his father rolled it toward him. He turned it around and peered into the eye sockets. Another cub might have felt frightened by Soro's skull, but to Grendel it was just another of his father's treasures. Because it belonged to his father, the skull was magical.
"Someday I want to have a skull just like this one, only I'm going to wear it around my neck. It would be bad to cover up my scorpion."

Mihr felt disappointment but it only lasted a minute. With not just Lulu giving her gentle reassurance but even her beloved mother padding over, truly life couldn't be better. Her red eyes sparkled with renewed warmth and affection, and she quickly rubbed against Lulu and walked between her mother's paws, rubbing up against her legs as well. A soft purr entered her throat and she lost her fear of getting in trouble.
"Mihr'll do better next time, oh yes she well!" She added proudly, ears flattening only a minute before she added a little more softly. "Er. . I will do better. Bite its head off, one good chomp before I talk! Then your gift won't run away," she giggled, rolling to her side and batting up at the pair affectionately.
She still didn't know if playing rough like the boys was better than being soft and snuggly, but Mihr enjoyed the snuggles. Something told her now was not a time to bite or hurt. . . .though it seemed that's how her brothers liked to show their love. Poor innocent thing. . . . A shame she wouldn't be innocent forever.
"Lulu is a very good hunter," she added earnestly, truly believing in her older sisters talents. Even if she'd never really seen them in action. Just being bigger meant she was better, right? "Is Mommy a good hunter too? Mihr' knows she hunts the best plants, oh yes she does!" She giggled lightly, ignoring her brothers and father for the time being. She knew Daddy didn't like to be bothered unless he called and tried hard to give him time with her brothers.

Lulu was happy at the cubs response. They loved their mother so much and it sort of made Lulu envious, of how her mothers were. How they were fairing. How her single brother was... and how the new cubs her Mother Moray had birthed were... she knew there were girls. It was exciting and sad at hte same time, considering she probably wouldn't get to meet them.
"Att'a girl Mihr! Give them a chomp and the kill is yours!" She said, laying down so she could get closer to the cub and give her a good washing. "Come here and let Lesa clean your ears sweety!" She said softly. It sort of pained her as well, calling herself Lesa... that horrid name that Soro had given her in replacement for Lulu. She hated him for that too.

Mihr'senka wasn't very fussy about getting cleaned. In fact, she rather cherished the baths her mother or Lesa gave her. It meant she got to be in their distinct company for a few cherished moments; there were no bites or snarls or growls. . . .just pure and utter affection.
Yes, Mihr loved baths and any chance to get one she was there! Giggling lightly as her black and white older sister beckoned her over, the little one ran over. She stood up on her hind paws, resting her own little front legs on Lesa's chest as she greeted her with licks and little purrs. Honestly, the day was a good day even if her gift ran away and escaped. . . .
"Baths! Lesa gives the nicest baths," she crooned happily, her crimson gaze bright with delight. She wormed her way between the older lionesses paws, cuddling close and looking genuinely blissful at the affection and attention. It wasn't hard pleasing Mihr. . . . though just how long she'd keep such a happy exterior was uncertain. There was a lot of drama within her little family and even a gentle and pure heart of hers was easily molded but just as easily broken. . . .
Her optimism could only take so much. The clock, unfortunately, was ticking and one day her breezy smile might very well be lost on them all.

Soro watched his son, and while he played with the skull, he felt a sick pride in hearing the boy say he would have a skull like his someday. If that was the case, Lesu would be the skull he would go after, but that could be for later. Right now, it was best that Lesu raised the children until they were no longer young, and he could fully have them depend on him. For now, he made sure that they did not get too close to their mother, but only used her for what little she was still good for. If that did not work, he could kill her and take the skull, giving it to his son, and let Lulu take over as the mother.
"Around your neck would be best. Never cover your marking. Be proud of it. It is something I and the gods gave to you." He rose up, back arching down as he stretched and then settled back down, resting his head on his paws and closing his eyes. It was a good day, and he felt ready for a nap. "You are in charge of my skull, boy. Do not let anyone else touch it and do not break it." He would cut the boy if he did.

Lulu pulled the little one close and thourally cleaned her ears for a moment before sighing, her odd paw tossed over her 'younger siblings' back. She eyed soro quietly, her nevousness about him still growing. And she was starting to hate the boy cubs slowly but surely. They were just like him. She pressed her pink nose against Mihr's cheek and blew. "How about a nap with Me? Want to take a nap Mihr?" She asked laying her head down, not waiting for an answer. She was tired and with Soro constantly watching over everyone, she was weary of it.
She shut her eyes and waited to feel the warmth of the cub beside her.
Fin for me.

Mihr cuddled close to Lulu, curling up tight between her paws and nestled close to her head. She gave her older sister a few affectionate licks, absolutely beaming under such tenderness. Oh how she loved her sister, oh yes, yes she did! She was always nice and never cross or mean or snappy and she never ever hurt Mihr or left scars.
"Mihr likes naps with Lessa, oh yes, yes she does!" Purring, she nuzzled close feeling strangely protected. Though Father sometimes grew angry and frightened Mihr, though her brothers frequently bullied her, being close with the black and white lioness was something that Mihr'senka cherished. Part of her wished Lorelei might have more patience and might let her snuggle like this too, but . . . . Mother was busy, and often angry.
At least with her sister she could be soft and snuggly. But someday with Father and Mother too. Purring quietly, she cuddled against her sister and let happy dreams come. A rare escape in such a . . . strange little family.
"Mihr loves Lessa. . . oh yes. . ." And with that, she was out.
[.fin for me.]

Grendel felt so proud and excited that he thought his heart would explode. His father was trusting him with his skull! He was so amazed and humbled by this new responsibility that he could hardly breathe. He nodded and wrapped his little arms around the skull protectively, though the skull was so large and his arms so little that he could hardly embrace it. "I will, dad. Don't worry. Nobody's going to put a scratch on this skull as long as I'm around!" And he meant that with all of his heart.
While Lulu and Mihr bonded, Lorelei watched from a distance. At least Lulu could give her cubs a good life. There were times when Lorelei's cubs felt so alien to her, as if they belonged not just to a different lioness but to another species. She knew it was because they reminded her of Soro.
Strangely, a part of her felt jealous of Mihr's affection for Lulu. She knew she wasn't being a very good mother to her cubs but she was trying damnit. Maybe when her girls were older they would be able to forgive her.
With Lulu and Mihr settled down, Lorelei padded over and lay down against Lulu's side, opposite of her daughter. She looked over at the tiny form of Mihr and lay her head down with a quiet sigh. In spite of what she told herself, Lorelei found it hard to imagine that life would ever get better for any of them.
((Fin for me, too))

Soro gave a throaty chuckle at his son, and shuffled to get more comfortable. The women were finally settling down, making sleeping possible. All the children were becoming tired, a time he preferred, as they were not as loud. As it went still, he opened an eye, looking out to the bundle of females sleeping farther off. Unmoving, he could almost imagine that they were all dead, their bodies simply laying there in his den. That was until one of them breathed, their bodies rising, and he frowned. If the cave walls fell down to crash on all the woman, he wouldn’t have shed a tear. Still, he would have been slightly annoyed as it ruined some plans, and he kept his eyes on Lulu. The little white female was motherly, more than Lorelei had ever been. She would make a good mother.
Yawning, he curled his claws in and for once, relaxed and feel asleep. In this silence, he almost passed as a normal, caring father in a den with a happy family. Almost.
Eldrid has stayed on the sidelines, not wanting to get in trouble or attack the attention of her brothers. The best way she found out was to stay quiet and whatever trouble came her way, taking it until it passed. Instead, she watched her sister Mihr play and talk, being louder than anyone else, and seeming to enjoy herself. Her carefree nature spurred Eldrid to try and do something new and fun, but she only took a step before she curled down and watched again, chickening out. It was better to be asked or ordered, and it didn’t seem like she was needed right now. It wasn’t safe to interrupt or else she might get in trouble.
Instead, she waited, and then she watched as everyone started to go to sleep, snuggling up to someone. Even her father was resting beside her brother, and she felt envious of everyone. She didn’t want to sleep alone and be left out. Hesitantly, she started to sneak her way over, hoping that no one would notice her. While she liked sleeping with Mihr, her mother’s side was free and open. It could earn her a shove away or a bat of her paw, but if she could manage, maybe she could sleep next to her mother for once.
The idea caused her to dare and try, and she crawled on her belly until she was just barely touching the lioness. She didn’t press into her in fear she would ruin such a prized and grand spot, and then with just the faintest of touches from her mother’s side, she smiled and closed her eyes.
Fin for me.
