"Y-yeah, I'm okay Mama..."
The trip scared him more then hurt him, but the corners of his eyes couldn't help but tear up a bit, nervous that he might of harmed his mother. He sniffled a bit, swallowing down his upset state, and blinking away the tears.
"I'll take good care of you Mama, if you ever get hurt." he breathed, clinging to his mother's leg. He loved his mother so much. Why didn't Shabaha act the same? He never understood his sister. But his unconditional love couldn't see through her and her actions.

Sitting with a relaxed posture, Mpenzi moved her leg to allow her child to burrow between it and the fluff of her ventral side. Leaning down to Jicho's level, the lioness licked the forming tears from her child's eyes, which bore her own marking, nuzzling his cheek.
"It is good to know I have a little warrior to look out for me." she purred at the cub's decree. However, something inside of her told her that she didn't wish for the child to grow up. It was her worse fear; for her young ones to grow up and no longer need her. At least it was the worse fear she could have.
Nose beside his small black ear, Mpenzi whispered; "and I will take care of you always, my little love." Her tone bore a bit of a purr in it's fringe. Adoring. Oh how she wanted so badly for Warithi to not taint the loving innocence of her child with the burden of the title of 'heir'. She worked so hard to make it such too!

If little Jicho could purr, he would, right at that moment. He loved nothing more then his mother's warm side. His silver eye's looked up her brown limbs to meet his mother's.
"'Cause I'm gunna be the best, that's why, Mama." He beamed, proud of his mother's praises, just like any child would love. Giving off a little growl to flaunt his bravery, he squeaked when his mother whispered in his ear. He knew his mother loved him, but he wanted to help her out, too!

The 'little love growl' was possibly the most adorable thing that she'd ever heard, only after the first mewls of her children when they were first born.
"I'm sure you will be the best, my little one." she supported proudly. However, she had a rather firm hope that he would have no solid basis in which he'd have to be a warrior. Not to say she didn't want him to have a chance; she just didn't want the pride to have enough problems for him to be a full-time little warrior.
"Just like your father."

With those words, little Jicho beamed. "Yeah, just like Papa!" He paraded around his mother, tail and head high. He admired his father, though he didn't get to be with him too much. His ideals of his father were high, though, and so his admeration was equally high.
"Only there's something different about me 'n Papa, Mama." He said, as serious as a little cub could. He sat in front of his mother, giving her a stern, serious look. "I love Mama more." He flashed her a smile, the ignorance of love that mates held for each other. He loved his mother so much, there was just no way his father could love her more, his little mind said. And with that, he'd win.
While his mind was ticking away with this, he gave a little grin, another small growl, and pounced on his mothers paw, as if claiming his territory.
A little protective, aren't we!

Watching the little parade with an admiring smile, she could recal similar displays from her own brothers to her mother. It wasn't uncommon, so she certainly wasn't boosting the child's ego -too- much, right?
"Oh?" she humored the statement with a great deal of interest, pondering what difference her child could come up with between himself and his father. The serious look on Jicho's face, however, made Mpenzi force a similar serious look onto her own face.
With the child's decree, the brown lioness quirked a brow. "Ah! I see." she replied, neither denying nor confirming the statement. Afterall, it wasn't her place to crush the child's thoughts, nor make any statements on her mate's love for her.
She watched the child make claim to her paw, holding it down in place when he was mid-pounce to prevent any cruel contact with the ground that would have come with it's moving.
"Well I love you both very much as well, your sister too."

Jicho's little heart was easy to see through his beaming eyes. He wouldn't catch how she didn't directly answer his statement. He got what he wanted out of her, and it made him very proud.
He jumped off his mother's paw, a little squeak as he tripped and flopped on his back. That wasn't what he meant to do! He rolled over onto his stomache, looking up at his mother with his silver eyes.
"Speakin' of Sis, I wonder if she's awake yet. Does Mama wanna go see?"

Indeed, the child's innocence was easy for her to feed without having to deceive him in any way, shape, or form. It pleased her to no end.
A slight mewl of concern escaped the lioness when she watched her child tumble, rising up to check over her baby, before he rolled over again. Purring, she nudged his side gently, with less force then when she'd knocked him over earlier.
Mention of Shabaha caused Mpenzi to look back towards the place where her daughter slept. "Ah. Perhaps she is awake now." she agreed, while she would like to go see her other child, she'd found that she was more concerned where another member of the family was.
"How about you go see your sister, and I'll go find your father. Does that sound like a plan?"

Jicho popped himself up from his laying position in a little blur of black, and nuzzled his mother's cheek while her head was still low enough to do so.
He scrambled back a bit when his mother glanced back at the cave where they lived. Perhaps they could all go get her now?
His tail swished as he listened to his mother. So he'd go get his sister, and Mama would get Papa! Sounded great to him. "Alright, Mama." He bounced a bit towards the cave, only just reaching her backside. "Then maybe we can eat. I'm huuungry." He laughed as he emphasised on his hungry, but he wouldn't mind waiting 'til they could all eat. That would be the bestest to him.
He scrambled towards the cave while his mother was still around, so that she could keep an eye on him if she wanted to. He hoped his sister was awake now, or else all his scampering might wake her up.

She closed her eyes and purred as the cub nuzzled her, before she lifted her head out of reach of the adoration.
She was pleased that her plan seemed to sound good with the child as well, and nodded. "Right, and then we can all meet up again and eat." she agreed, standing in place to watch as the dark cub went bounding off to find, and possibly wake, his sister, waiting until he was inside without a problem, before turning to head off to find the child's father.
Not that it would be that hard to find him.
