"Tomo," Laio said warmly, swatting her affectionately and lightly with a bat of one black-dipped paw. "I was goin' to come back and see you after I'd scouted the borders prop'ly, but I heard that Colche was due... and you're right, a god an' all came to visit!"
She looked back at the three young cubs again, still uncertain for a moment, but shrugged expressively, tail still flicking happily. "Some friends for your girls t'play with, huh Tomo?" She smiled happily, and looked up at the sky, and then over to where the baobab sat comfortably on the savannah a ways away. This land really was for the cheetahs; and they were showing it the best way they could. But she still hadn't finished scouting out the edges... she would do the second half after staying here for a few days, she decided. No harm in an extra pair of eyes to keep younglings safe.

The gods presence had indeed been a blessing to the king marked femme and she smiled to herself, she hoped she would see him again. What a tale to tell ehr cubs when they were older that a god had visited them upon their day of creation.
Sighing gently her prefect blue gaze fell upon the other femme and she smiled, she understood how this felt this pure delight at knowing these tuiny creatures had been born in to the world. "It's strange I was so frightened before they were born but now, I feel nothing but happiness" she puurred softly licking the nearest cubs rear of some dust that had collected there. They were so beautiful to her, her three boys.
The blue eyed femme yawned though and looked up at Tomoyo with a smile "you must excuse me, Tomoyo is it? I'm afraid this whole ordeal is catching up to me." She whispers she was so tired her body was screaming for rest.
Laying her head upon ehr paws she closed her perfect blue eyes the smile never fading from her maw. A couple of hours sleep and she would be able to waken and feed the cubs again though no doubt they would let her know when they were hungry. Puuring the slender femme closed her eyes and sighed softly. It was time for rest and a wonderful dream she would have now that her worries had vanished.

The golden cheetah wasn't sure where she was heading but she was sure Adem had came this way. Her nose hadn't failed her before, though, there were so many others and she was slightly worried aout meeting them all.
Slowly she made her way to where the cubs had been born and quietly called out, "Adem, are you here?" She tilted her head listening to the other things that were said. She couldn't see the cubs or the mother, just the surrounding cheetahs and she suddenly felt rather vunerable.

Adem watched, turning his head to give the female her privacy as she birthed the first cub. Golden eyes peered at her, hearing her small mewls of pains cease. He...was beautiful! The sunspot had never seen a cub (newborn really) before, so this truely was a new expierence for him. He gazed around, wondering why Uri had stopped to stare at him for a moment, before shuffling towards Colche.
"He's beautiful," He said outloud, nuzzling the female he had grown fond of in a son-mother relation. Sure, to anyone it'd probably look they had been mates, but they weren't. He licked her inbetween the ears, like she had always down to him, just as the next cub was about to come. Politely turning his head away again, he waited the small form to emerge from Colche.
This new one was a bit...strange? He looked well...like Colche of course, but it sort of looked like him aswell. Oh noes, the other cheetahs here weren't getting the same ideas he was, were they? Adem gonked, gulping as he turned towards Colche. "Two little boys?" He asked curiously, turning away again just as the final cub had been brought into the world.
By that time, Adem saw Laio appear. He grinned slightly, waving a paw in the air at the captain figure before turning back to Colche. By that time, he had forgot about the leaving god, only to wide eye gasp as he spoke. "Fa..father?!" He asked, bewildered.
"..i...I..I'm not...their...father..." He gulped, gazing down towards the exhausted King Cheetah female. Could have fooled anyone, couldn't it?
When Colche had fallen asleep, the sunspot took time to admire the three lifeforms beside the female. All so cute, so small..so..vulnerable. Even though they weren't his, something told him why Colche would fear something about it. Taking care of newborns must have been a hard task, right?
His ears perked up, hearing Thanda call him. "Over here." He called out soft to the other female he had met not so long ago.

She slowly went past the other cheetahs to Adem and sat by his side. She could see the mother now clearly and her three sons. They were all adorable and she couldn't help smiling.
"They are beautiful..." She turned to Adem and nuzzled him playfully. She just smiled, content at seeing such small cubs but still anxious and nervous to be on anothers territory.

Laio stiffened at the scent of an unknown cheetah, and paced a few steps surreptitiously in front of the snoozing Colche and the little ones.
"Who's this, Ade?" She said bluntly, not particularly agressively, but her stance was strong. "Ain't seen much new blood around... you got a name, goldie?" And she didn't like the fact that she had managed to get so close to Colche. But Davu'Adem seemed to know her, so the hackles were not raised so much.

Thanda cowered slightly behind Adem. She didn't awnt to cause a problem and she was most definatly harmless, but then they weren't to know that. "I am called Thanda. I mean no harm to your fellow cheetahs nor the cubs, Adem left me to find someone and I was lost and vunerable in anothers land. I have been looking for him. I apologize for any problems..." She gulped and kept behind him, she was worried and scared, with good reason.

The sunspot gazed at Laio, watching her move slightly in front of Colche and her newborns, before flicking his gaze towards the now cowering female behind him. As she spoke her name, the adult nodded, confirming what she had said.
"I promised Colche I would be here for the cubs, but this was before I met Thanda. However, if you are weary of Thanda staying her while I help with Colche, then we'll both will leave." The orange male nodded slightly. He stood, his form much larger then what it had been the first time he had met Laio. The cheetah male didn't seem to skittish as much either, especially when speaking to another.

"You say she's alright, that's okay by me. You intendin' to stay here forever, Thanda?" Her eyes were still slightly narrowed but her voice was affable. "And Ade, if ya promised, then you have to stay. A promise is a promise, after all."
She nodded grudgingly. "You can hunt the area too, while you're here, but nothin' irresponsible, okay?"

Tomoyo gave Laio a purr in greeting, butting her head gently against the leader's shoulder with affection returned. "Yes, I'm sure that they'll be happy to make some new friends."
Her smile turned to the new mother understandingly, letting Colche doze off without complaint or offense taken. She looked forward to letting their children meet, it seemed that already the coalition had a great treasure of youths running about. Incredible, how far they'd come in such a short time. To think it started with just a small, small handful of them and now was up to this.
At the arrival of more unfamiliar faces and faintly familiar scents, the female took a step closer to Laio and the entrance, watching the other's arrive and subconciously guarding Colche's den a bit as well. She didn't know what was going on, but Laio was the captain, and as such, she should be allowed to be the one to handle it, not like Tomoyo was the "step up and take charge" type anyhow.

Thanda looked at the other and nodded, "I amonly staying with Adem is. We were to travel together. So I will wait for him, or stay if that is possible." She spoke softly in an unthreatening way. She wasn't too happy having this confrontation infront of the others, but it was bound to have happened, been better in a more private place though!

Adem nodded towards Laio, glancing at Thanda.
"Come on, Thanda." He said to her, before returning his gaze at Laio. "I'll come back to see Colche and her cubs when she is awake, and perhaps bring her something to eat." Even though another cheetah was probably going to do that, Adem would also. The male turned to leave, casting one last glance at the slumbering female before leaving the cave, willing Thanda to follow him out as well.

Laio looked at Adem and Thanda, and then nodded shortly, a smile returning to her face.
"Got nothin' against you, Than. Just might be nice ta introduce yourself to the lands before you come roaming." Her tone was cheerful. "Have fun."
She flickered her white striped tail absently towards Tomoyo, turning her head away from the departing pair idly. Her stance was less covertly protective, now.

"I apologize I only met Uri..." She smiled softly back though and turned to leave with Adem. She was happier with Adem, felt more safe and secure with him after all.
