Santos turned his head when he heard Floria and furrowed his brows. He'd noticed her not in the den last night... "Where were you last night.. You're to be around the den at night, you know that." He'd finally started to fully wake up, listening to the sounds of other's murmurs as they began to rise.

Adia's ears perked at the sound of her daughter and mate talking. A bit of irritation stirred in her veins. She wanted to hear the reason her daughter hadn't come home last night. Stadning up carefully Adia looked at Settia and smiled. "Can you excuse me for just one moment darling? I'll be right back." She said giving Settia one more smile before she started out of the den and came to sit next to Santos, her belly pooching out from the cubs within. She said nothing as she sat down and simply waited for Floria to reply to her father.

Lithium peacefully woke up, smilling to the red tinted rays that picked through the den opening. A small yawn and a good stretch got her alert and on her toes. She had became used to the voices on her head, aside the other two. Actinium had finally made them understand what it was. At least, now she knew how to avoid the worst of it...
The morning was her favorite time of the day, when most were asleep. It was calm, and she could stay around others without it getting too chaotic on her head. Or simply because they were all too sleepy to even think. She glanced at Adia and Tia with a smile, their thoughts of tenderness towards her cousin. Lithium's ears quirked at others though, as Floria approached the den. Curious, she sneaked behind a rock nearby the pink lioness, Santos and her grandmother as she came, watching without being watched.

Floria raised a brow trying her best not to let off the little bit of fright she had in her out. "Cool your se-" The little confidence she had stirring up melted away seeing her pregnant mother. To think, she'd not see her little sibling born. Oh well, not her fault! If they would have been more accepting..
Holding her head high she remembered why she was doing this.
"I was within the pride boarders. That should be good enough. Be lucky you got even that. I was planning on doing this a lot differently when I was a teen." Before they had a chance to speak again she continued. "I'm leaving the pride."

Santos growled at her attitude. "You will not speak to me like that, and you will not be leaving the pride." He replied without giving it thought. The way he saw it she was hardly fit mentally to be allowed out of the den on a regular basis. Her attitude was sure to get her killed... or worse... How could he trust her outside of the pride?

Adia's eyes widened in shock and moments later they narrowed into a glare. "No. You're no where near ready to leave. If you had been you would have asked to leave like a mature adult." Adia stated with a huff. She was shocked and angered by her daughters behavior. How could she come before them and disrespect them so?!

Floria furrowed her brows at her father, giving him much the same expression he gave her when she first approached him. "Unfortunatly, you do no longer have that choice. I am an adult and I am leaving." She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, there was no way in hell a simple 'no' was going to stop her now. "I'm sorry... I'm not asking premission, I know neither of you could stand to let me go. But I am. I'm barely a part of the pride anyways." She looked over at her mother with a disappointed look. "I am very thankful for the confidence you both have in me.. But I am ready and I am going."

After leaving the den early for a morning walk/patrol, Yukio made his way to where Daveigh was laying above the den, saw her swat Adieu lightly and the teen left to...well, he didn't know what the teen had left to do, honestly. Carefully climbing up, he nuzzled his mate a greeting in silence just as Floria approached and let loose the news to her parents that she was leaving. He looked at Davey, an eyebrow raised in question as he settled himself carefully down, Kama asleep in his mane.

Karounos was snoozing slightly in the morning sun away from the bulk of the pride and a little east of the entrance, slightly back. Nomis didn't return to the den last night, and he wanted to know where she had gone off to in such a hurry. When he was sure she hadn't left the pride borders, he had returned back to the den, but wanted to avoid waking any one else, so fell asleep there.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Nomis, but just wanted her to be safe. He wanted to make sure that no unruly males were going to ambush her, or something of the like.
Nomis yawned and shook off the water from her morning swim. Her dad had folowed her last night, so she made sure not to go to the secret oasis, but to the general swimming pond instead. She wasn't angry at him - it's not like he didn't trust her. But she had always wandered off, and it was his right to make sure she was okay. But now that he knew, she was well assured he wouldn't do it again, so why bring it up?
She returned to the pride, catching ear that there was some disagreement within the king's family, so steered clear of it and made a broad circle around the cave before coming upon Zenry.
"You're back!" Zenry squealed in glee. She ha dwatched her sister disappear into the night. "You went swimming?"
Nomis shook her head, "I went somewhere else to sleep. That's all."
Zenry furrowed her brow, "Santos wouldn't like that. Neither would dad."
Nomis huffed, "I don't care. I'll sleep where I'm comfortable. It's not like I'm going very far from here anyway." Not really true. where she usually went was a good half day away from the den, but that knowledge was only hers and Mikhail's.
Zenry frowned, "If you're sure..." She wasn't sure if it was really ok... But Nomis had been doing it ever since she herself was born. She'd even disappear for days at a time. If she didn't get in trouble for that... Well, then she probably wouldn't get in trouble for sleep just a little ways away from everyone else.

Naida appeared from the cave entrance to see Adia and Santos in heated discussion with Floria, and her snoozing mate over to the side. Smiling, (and deciding it was best to keep out of the royal family's way at the moment) was about to nuzzle him awake when she saw Nomis going around the side of the entrance to followed her for a moment. She'd been growing steadily concerned about her daughter's disappearances, and had voiced her concerns over the months to Karounos. She's been glad to feel like she wasn't merely just being an overprotective mother when his fears seemed to be the same. but how do you keep tabs on a grown lioness without them feeling like you're treating them like a cub? It was such a hard line for a mother to walk...and now that she was pregnant once more, she couldn't help but wonder if part of it was due to overactive hormones as well.
Coming up, she chuffed gently in greeting so as not to surprise them, before giving her older daughter a concerned look. "Good morning you two...Nomis, my dear, just remember to be careful. Just because you are within the pride borders doesn't mean complete safety. There are still dangers that await unwary lions even if a pride is patrolled as heavily as this one is."

Zenry made to pounce her mother, but caught herself, remembering she was carrying more siblings, "Morning!" she chimed instead.
Nomis nodded and nuzzled her mother, "I'm always careful... I check out the whole area before settling in." It annoyed her that her parents still felt the need to warn her, but understodd... somewhat. They didn't know that her retreat was as secretive and safe as a place in the pride could get - possibly even more so than the den. "I'll be fine," she said reassuringly.

"Good...as long as you keep your guard up, then I'm sure you'll be okay," Naida said, giving her older daughter a nuzzle in return, feeling much better than she had a minute ago. "You just have to forgive your father and I...we'll always be worried about each of you, no matter how big or old you are."
Nuzzling Zenry, she chuckled and said, "Speaking of your father...would you like to wake him up? Or should we let him sleep..?"

Santos narrowed his eyes. "As I recall, I remember that a king has all the power in saying whether female come into or leave the pride." He growled. "Oh, guess I'm king, huh?" He snorted. "Maybe if you made an effort you would be a part of the pride. Stop leaving to visit that a*****e and maybe you'd gain respect as the rightful princess you are suppose to be."

Zenry giggled, "Aw, let him sleep... Who knows when he got to last night."
Nomis nodded, but didn't say anything in response. He was late. I know that much...
