Mvita looked at Tui and smiled. "Yay! New friends!" She ran towards them and touched Tui on the shoulder. "You're it!" Mvita ran as fast as she could around her parents, hiding from the other cubs. She knew she wasn't allowed to leave the area around the den, so she didn't. Instead she could use her parents as shields.

Kichea watched the large family interact. It would definitely take some time learning names. Finally feeling she should interact too. She stood and began moving over to where Tana and Kif sat. Gracefully coming to a slow stop before them she looked around casually before speaking. "It looks to me like they plan on staying for a while... You wouldn't mind if we stayed would you?" She looked to them and then gestured to her mate and cubs who still mingled among the others.
Nakawa glanced up at his sister as she invited him to play and nodded, taking a quick glance back to the pale cub. It still hadn't occurred to him that Paki was different from the others. Smiling warmly at him he motioned Paki to follow before catching up to his sister. When he caught up with Tui, he was a bit lost. "Tag?" He questioned softly tilting his head with wonder. Had we played that before?

Tui smiled as her brother joined them, and the noticed that she had been marked it. "If someone tocuhes you you're it, and then you have to chase the others around and tag them!" Tui said with a giggle as she explained. She bonked him on teh head with her paw, something she seemed to do often. "You're it!" She squeaked, running as fast as her tiny legs could carry her, following after Mvita.

Looking over the strangers appraisingly, Nitesh crinkled his nose a bit, eyeing the other cubs, then looking up at the larger pair. Hmm.. they were about as large as Bakari and Moyo were.
Just about, not same as. Pshh.
Sneaking out from behind his sister, the little brown cub snuck up behind daddy, peering out at his unknown sibling and sibling-in-mate units, then looking up at Kifijo, pouting cutely, and obliviously.
"Daaaaaaddddddyyyyyyyyyyyy.." he complained, obviously wanting his own amount of attention as well.

Mvita laughed when she saw Tui tag Nakawa. "That's right! And now it's your turn to chase us!" she said to Nakawa, still standing behind her parents, ready to run as soon as he got closer. She had a big smile in her face when Tui caught up with her. "Nice bonk back there!" Mvita giggled and turned her head around to see where Nakawa was again, making sure he wasn't close enough to tag her.

Tag, he'd heard that word before and every time it involved one of his siblings running at him and slamming into him. It just wasn't a game that Paki was good at playing, though try as he might he wanted to.
Slowly he backed up away from all of his siblings, away from all of the fun. Something inside of him twitched in loneliness and he turned, walking away rather than backing away. He missed his older sister quite suddenly, but he trotted away all the same.

Kifijo chuckled again, watching the youngsters playing happily. It was amusing and a bit odd to think that Nitesh, Mvita, Paki, and Johari were aunts and uncles of Nakawa and Tui. Strange.
He only glanced at a beaming Tana once before replying to Kichea's humble request.
"You are family, and family lives together. You are always welcome, here," he replied warmly with a smile. A genuine smile, too. "In fact, I believe there are another set of caves not far from here; perhaps on the other side of ours, if you ever get tired of so many cubs and would like privacy." He winked. "I'd be happy to show you and Riku them. He probably remembers them well enough. He, Bakari, and Moyo would always go exploring and play games in them often enough."
Nitesh's whine came from his left, the opposite side from the other cubs.
"Niteeeeeeeeeeeeesh," he drawled out, nosing the cub's head. Paki's pale body trotting away appeared in the corner of Kif's eye but he paid his son no mind.
Before Moyo had left with Kiwi a few weeks ago, she and Paki had spent a lot of time together. Moyo had treated her younger brother like a normal lion, ignoring the fact that he could not see. And, because of that, Kif thought that the two had bonded in a way no one else could. And Paki missed her.

Eyeing the stranger again, Nitesh continued to stare at him for a moment, before turning all his attention to his father, flopping his little paws against Kifijo's nose when it nudged him, pouting a bit, leaning in to whisper a quick question to him.
"Who are these people?" he asked hushedly, seeming a bit concerned about their presence, mostly due to the fact he'd decided to sleep in while the introductions had gone down.
Flopping onto his stomach, he eyed the larger lion, whom was the same brown-shade as he was, though not as extravegently as himself, before pouting and hiding behind his father's leg.
These people didn't smell familiar to him.

Kichea smiled, her eyes sparkling with delight at Kif's reply. After all the trouble they had gone though it was a joy to have some things work out the way they planned. "Oh, thank you. Maybe you can show us around after everything settles down." She smiled and casually sat down, "And if you and Tana ever want time alone I'm sure we could watch the cubs for ya." Growing more comfortable, she giggled softly as she finished wondering if they could ever trust two adolescents with... let's see... six cubs?
Nakawa's eyes grew wide for an instant, surprised by the sudden bonk on the head. "Hey." He giggled rubbing his head with one paw as if it had hurt more than what it did. With a smirk he made a few quick bounds in their direction before, pausing a moment and looking back.
Why hadn't Paki followed? Was it something I said? Nakawa watched for a moment with disappointment, wishing he had another boy to play games with. Giving a soft sigh he shook his head and returned his attention to Mvita and Tui. Sprinting after them as quickly as he could without tripping.

Mvita giggled when Nakawa ran towards her and she got ready to run too, as soon as he got closer. She noticed him stop, which made her wonder why, but then he began to run again and Mvita quickly got to her feet and ran around her parents, escaping from Nakawa. She got an idea and ran towards her nother, stopping when she was under her mother's belly.
Mvita laid down and watched as the others ran past her hideout. Once they had she got out of there and looked at them run. "Nakawa, here I am!" she called and stuck her tongue out playfully, before running in the opposite direction.

Riku smiled as the cubs played. He nuzzled Kichea lovingly before nudging her to the den across from his parents. "Let's rest for the night love." He said with a smile, calling out to the two cubs as well.
The new family made their way to the den, a long new road ahead of them.
