"....one's named after me?" Uri's grin changed into a proud smile and he held his head just a wee bit higher. That was just...sweet. Horribly revoltingly sweet. But he liked it.
That was a point. Names. Oh. Those'd be fun to pick. Uri couldn't remember his original name as a cub, vaguely though it'd been something vile 'to match his fur'...but his cubs' would have real names. Lovely names.

"I was surprised when I first learned it was possible, Hasidi is the one who found out. An old friend of his had become pregnant by a lion, and he made sure I knew," she smiled, remembering her own surprise at the idea. It was hard to imagine it could ever be considered impossible, especially with how much she loved Hasidi. It was a blessing to them, though they would surely have loved any cubs just as much.
"Tafasuri is named after his uncle, my good friend and you," Kari explained brightly, "His name was the only one we were certain of when we realized we'd be having cubs."

Dimu smiled and looked to Uri. "I wonder what we shall name ours?" She stated more then asked. She was sure they'd pick names that fit the cubs when they were born. Dimu hadn't met alot of others, so she hadn't been close enough to any others to name her cubs after them. She smiled and wondered what exactly they'd look like... how many boys, how many girl... She was egar to see them, but knew she'd have to wait.

"I have one idea." He nodded towards Kari, in high spirits. Names...maybe after mother? No, no. That old hag didn't deserve it. Kari yes. Their mother maybe. Even Uri realised naming any possible boys after himself was far too vain. Or maybe they'd describe the cubs looks and youthful personalities?
"But too soon to tell, really."

"We only had one name picked out before they were born," she added with a small smile as they started to wonder about names for their little ones, "The others names just.. came to us." Kari thought fondly of the night her four babies were born, and how easily their names had been chosen. Perhaps Hasidi simply has a gift with it.
"Will you all be staying here?" she asked curiously, knowing how she felt about having her cubs around here- wondering if perhaps Laio had come around and agreed to let Dimu stay here.

Dimu nodded as she listened to Uri and Kari. She agreed, better to let the names come to them when the cubs where born. The thought was exciting, Dimu could not wait until the cubs came. Then she heard Kari ask if they were staying. Dimu would probably leave in the mornign and return when she thought she was close to giving birth, or meet Uri somewhere. "I think I'll depart tomarrow morning. But honestly, my travels depend on my star." She said easily. Yes, Dimu was a star following. She had been born under a star, and every night she followed it.

"If you're nearby, feel free to stop in whenever as always, my dear." It was the same offer he'd made countless times to Dimu, ever since they'd met, all the way through their brief love affair, and afterwards too. As always he bowed his head with a smile. Uri'd half hoped she'd stay during her term, but he knew about her star. Wouldn't ask her stop following it - was part of who she was.
"And when it comes to having the cubs - well, this stretch of land is guarded and I'd let you have your privacy if you wanted it."

Kari looked curiously to Dimu when she said she was thinking about leaving the next morning, and then said something about her star. The cheetah didn't know what that meant, and looked to Uri for some kind of explanation- but decided it wasn't important to figure it all out. It seemed they would not be all staying together.
"Do you both know how to find the Kusini'mwezi pride lands?" she asked with a small smile, "You must visit sometimes.."
