The moment Abaeze gave permission, Ayita pressed the lioness' leg in. Hearing a loud pop, ears perked forward and the head huntress moved away. Now on all fours, she stood there watching her friend for a reaction. It pained her to see her friend in pain, but at least this would make it a tad bit better. "Find a place to lay, and stay. That is not an order, but a bit of advice." It was clear the powerful feline was worried. Her expression in those eyes and the way she held herself. Moving forward she pressed her nose to Abaeze's shoulder, another friendly gesture she hadn't done in the longest time. Before pulling away. Easily she would escort her friend where she wished to go. Probably away from other lioness'. Somewhere to spend time with her brother.

Abaeze shouted out, a small roar from the pain. She had planned on biting her tongue and waiting for the pain to pass, but she wasn't ready like she thought, so she roared. Staring at her throbbing leg, she absentmindedly nodded in response to Ayita's words. "I plan on to." She didn't like the idea though because that meant she couldn't be the one to care for her brother like she always did, but this situation did give her time to be bond with Musa.
Sitting up, and then struggling to her feet, the young lioness looked towards Ayita sheepishly. "A little help up the stones?" She asked, a toothy smile on her blood-stained muzzle. She knew where she would stay and rest, but she needed some help up to it. She'd stay in the spot where her parents had birthed her and Musa.

It was easy for Ayita to sympasize with Abaeze. No, the head huntress had never been injured to this extent, but pretty close. That and the sight was quite painful, making herself feel a bit of twinge to her own leg. Gladly moving to beside her friend, she would help head up to the stones. The fun part would be getting her UP them. Thoughts of how to do that entered her mind. Well, either pulling her up there or pushing her up there. One of the two would have to happen. Or get another lion to do one while Ayita did the other. Of course Abaeze would have to be willing and would have to help. It was an amusing thought. Though right now was getting to the point where she would be. "Of course." Emerald eyes seemed to help emphasize the wish to help her friend whenever. Was good enough to know she was alright. "I presume the place you favor usually to rest?" Quite obvious, knowing her for so long.

Abaeze grinned, looking at her huntress with an amused look. "It's like you read my mind, Ayita." She said, flicking her tail back and forth happily despite the pain still in her body. She glanced up at the rocks, wondering how they'll manage to get her up the steep height. She looked at her old friend with a smirk. "Now, if you push and I dug my claws into the stones, how long will it take to get us up to my spot?" An impish look on her face. Maybe she could get one of the warriors to help? She saw Jawara nearby returning from scanning the territory for any rogues or Outcasts. They could also ask Soyali to help, but she didn't want to impose on the king with her problems.

Ayita just mentally said screw it like anyone else would. Moving beside her friend the head huntress lowered her body, sort of crawling under Abaeze. Standing up, this caused the fellow lioness to be across Ayita's strong back. Much easier then going and getting someone to help. And much quicker not to mention easier on her leg. This was similar to the stories of a supposed son of evil carrying Simba's daughter out of a fire. Up the rocks large paws took them. Eyes staring straight foward as Ayita climbed the stones. It didn't take too long to get to the top. Good enough spot to lower herself and let the lioness get to her own paws. As odd as it had been to do that, it was much easier. And had a double good end, it popped Ayita's back. Felt great. Grinning in that odd way lions seemed to grin, she spoke. "Problem solved in an easier way." Well it was true. Now, getting Abaeze to the stones would be easy. Going to inform Soyali what was wrong and what happened, was next. Then going up to check out her brother. Maybe Manaba could do something for once. Maybe give Abaeze some pointers on being injured like that? He oughta know enough.

"Whoa!" Abaeze panicked for a brief moment, confused as to what her huntress was planning, and, before she could question her, she found herself on the back of Ayita. The head huntress had carried her to her favorite spot. Along the ride, she thought she felt the dark lioness' back crack. "Easier, right. Unexpected is more like it, but I shouldn't be complaining. Thanks, Ayita. I mean it." The lioness meowed, returning her friend's smile gratefully.

Laughing a little at the expression Abaeze gave, Ayita was quite proud at surprising the smaller lioness. It would hopefully continue to lighten the mood. Escorted her friend to that favorite spot in the world, green eyes would watch and wait until the other lioness was down and relaxing. Making it clear she was going to be staying right here, the multi chocolate colored head huntress sat down. Tail simply patting the ground as green eyes kept their gaze locked. "You are welcome friend." It was good to know that she could be there for the fellow lioness whenever she could be. Infact, she'd always be there. She'd be here for the whole pride. If there was a way to create another her, that would be great. It would mean there were be another helper to go around and see what she could do. Brought a cheery look to Ayita's face, thinking about it. Amusing truly it was. Thoughts were broken however to look back at Abaeze. This lioness however was the one needing help. She'd have to speak with Musa. She wouldn't have to tell the cub to take care of his sister. Ayita would just like to let the cub know she was't too mad at him for leaving Priderock and the Pridelands. She was also going to inform him that she would be proud of him if he did everything and anything for his sister. Or came to her for help.

Abaeze snorted when Ayita sat down and watched her. Not this babying. No, not for her. "All right. I'm relaxing." She sighed dramatically, laying on her side like the lazy males in their pride. She rested her cream-colored head on her paws, watching the head huntress with a raised eyebrow. Was she going to keep watching her all day and get in the way of her sun, or find her brother and the kings? A smirk appeared on her face. She could never express how glad she was to have this huge lioness, and how she wished she could be of more help. Another lioness like Ayita would be wonderful for her and the rest of the pride. It'd give the huntress some time to rest. Tail-tip resting on her back legs, the cream-furred lioness watched the chocolate-furred lioness with feigned annoyance. If the lioness was going to stay, it was fine by her, but she didn't want to take up her time.

An eyebrow lifted apon Ayita's large square head. What was the look she was getting from the living body of coffee cream? It was rather interesting but eventually she got the point. Laughing a little, the huntress got to her paws. "With you relaxing, I can put my mind at ease for the moment." Turning on her paws she started to head back down the rocks to get to the main part towards the other lionesses. Stopping she looked over her shoulder one last time to make sure everything would be okay, before jumping with those mighty back legs. Landing easily, she instead turned to head up to the peak of Pridesrock. It seemed Soyali was up there. And she'd need permission to enter the Kings resting area truly. That would be where Manaba would be. She wished to check up on her brother now. That was another bit of worry that needed to be rid of. wasn't so easy if you thought about. Ayita was always worrying and fretting over something. The thoughts of that male in the graveyard still haunted her mind. She'd have to investigate about him.

Abaeze watched her friend leave, giving a small snort at her worried expression. She'd make it up to her once she was fully healed. For now, the lioness would simply lie and bask in the warm sunlight warming her light pelt. She felt drowsy with the sun on her pelt and the day's events having worn her out. Soon, the lioness found herself sound asleep on the rocks.
Musa hopped over to his sister, having waited until Ayita had left and Abaeze to have fallen asleep to approached her. He watched her resting face, noticing the blood still on her fur. Inhaling a deep breath, he decided he'd clean her bloodied fur for her while she slept. He knew she wouldn't wake up in the state she was in right now.

Slowly heading up the length of the large rock, Ayita was often fond of coming up here. Gazing over the Pridelands. Seeing the beauty of the grass and the many animals. Scanning over the vast lands. Thinking of when she'd next be able to head out. Even in the years she's been alive, there were still parts of the pridelands that she had not stepped into. Far beyond towards the edge of their borders, opposite of the graveyard towards the forest. Never had she stepped out there. Towards the jungle that Simba himself had been lost in for years, being practically raised by a hog and meerkat. Eyes moved from the beauty of the lands to the top of the over hung rock. Sitting at the very top was a mass of white. The creation of a stormy night. A living storm himself. Soyali was by his lonesome. As usual. Sadly it was a frequent sight. "My Kind King, why are you up here alone?"
At first there was simply silence. No form of words. No expressions. Just blank staring out towards the horizon. Finally the large lion turned his head just a tad, looking at Ayita's brown form with his blind like eyes. Grey with white pupils narrowed before that head turned back in the original position. "Simply basking in the light of the sun. Missing the one that used to bask with me." The one he was speaking of had been a beautiful creature all in her own. Not the largest of lions nor the smallest. The lioness that drifted in his mind like a cloud of smoke, had the brightest of pelts. Matched the color of the setting sun. Out stood his clouded appearance. Together she brightened up his pasty coat. Oh how he missed the feel of her warmth. Now all he had left was this spot, and the warmth of the sun. Mixed with memories.

Jawara watched his pride's head huntress speak with her brother Soyali. He felt the Kind King's unhappiness from his spot a respectful distance away from them. The king always had that sad look about him, even if he hid it from his pride. It was a look only those that have lost their family and loved ones could understand, and the warrior just barely knew that feeling. He had lost his whole pride as a cub, but could barely remember them. All he could remember was his mother's bloody face, her amber eyes staring at him with fright. Everything about his past was hazy to him. He was so small when his family died. Couldn't even remember how they died, they just did. The king Soyali had lost his mate to a rhino, had killed that rhino because of it, and now walked around like the ghost of himself. He would have to speak with Ayita and Manaba, well, probably not Manaba, but Ayita for sure, about finding her brother a new mate. He needed to move on because staying stuck in that one painful place wasn't going to heal him.
Musa left his sleeping sister, having cleaned as much as he could stand of her blood and some hyena blood. He quietly padded down the steep rocks, choosing to stay hidden, to be a shadow, than a lion. He sat behind several warriors and hunters as they spoke to one another, laughter rumbling out of their fully developed chest. The cub zoned them out and focused on Ayita. He needed to speak with her soon, though she was preoccupied with speaking to Soyali, their kind king. He would also have to speak with him, tell them both how grateful he was that they saved his sister from the hyenas because of his foolish actions.

Everything about Soyali roared of unhappiness. Spoke out depression. Only when alone like this. The only thing that ever showed that distraught mind, was to blank expressive eyes. The eyes that should mean he was blind to the world. No quite the opposite. Ayita knew that those eyes of the Kind King saw anything and everything. It was sort of mythical with how much knowledge he knew. How he knew. Even that brain of his was a mystery. The huntress never questioned him however. The white giant was the one all of the pride went to for advice of all situations. Even if that certain lion was too proud to admit they asked. "In that case my king, I will leave you be. Though I wish to go speak to my brother." Sitting, waiting patiently for an answer that would mean her action.
Usually Soyali was open to any answer. Would allow pretty much anything if it meant answers would be given and things were resolved. But he did not grant Ayita the permission to enter the king's den. "I'm sorry I'm afraid. Your brother is resting himself with thoughts and slumber." It was well needed with his little fiasco with another lioness, who had earlier taken off to the lands. Taking a mental note, he'd have to go check on her. But his attention was caught at the corner of his gaze as the brown frame of the head huntress stood, and turned to head back down the slope of the over hung rock. There seemed to be no remorse of his answer. Good. Ayita was able to push aside such short things when she would realize things could happen later.

As soon as Ayita started walking away from Soyali, Musa was on his pawss and silently following her. He could barely hear his own footsteps, and he had no intention of keeping them silent. It was like his own paws were angry with him still. He mentally sighed at the thought. "Ayita," he spoke the head huntress' name in a quite and reserved voice, "may I speak with you?" He asked, his face blank and expressionless.

Eyes straight forward and keeping watch of the other lions lounging around, Ayita was least expecting to be followed. Hearing a low voice, paws stopped almost immediately and that large head turned. Emerald eyes now locked on the small mud colored cub that had gotten into a bit of trouble just earlier. Moving her body around the huntress was now facing the little one. So, he wished to speak with her. Many things went through that mind of possibilites of what Musa would say. However none of them could be correct or some of them may be. She couldn't read mind nors could she see the future. What the cub would say would be something she wasn't expecting. No matter how much she guessed. May be similar thought different. Confusing logic however. Point settled in mind Ayita kept her gaze on Musa. Waiting. "Yes little one?" Permission given to speak. Quite.
