 Taking the lead, Sarabi led the young lioness towards the pride's den. Tall grass brushed her sides, adding its dry sound to the click of the beads around her neck and the soft padding of her paws on the dry ground. The sun had reached midday by now, and Sarabi would be grateful when they finally reached the shade of Priderock. Her belly hung below her, gently curving out on the sides with the new life she bore. Cubs... the thought both excited and scared her. Motherhood, she felt, was both the most challenging and rewarding thing a lioness could ever do in her life. When they entered the shadow of the rock, Sarabi sighed and smiled at her walking companion. "Weclome to our home, Bahkti. You are quite welcome to stay a while, if you'd like. Here, the meat is over here from the last hunt." A mostly-eaten zebra lay in the coolest part of the cave and the golden queen tore at it hungrily. The multiple bodies to feed made her voracious and greedy, but she left some for the other lioness in case she was hungry too.

Bakhti had watched the Lioness as they had walked her own necklace thumping against her chest in the rythm that she moved. The bones around her paw made an awfully loud sound that annoyed her greatly. She however put up with it she knew she could make it quieter though she didn't care who heard her at the moment.
She walked quite a way back from the lioness and as they entered the shadow of Pride rock her eyes were focused more on the massive rock then where she was going and could have easily walked into sarabi several times though she was ok now and had managed to jump back just in time.
Entering the cave made Bakhti feel slightly uneasy. She was on anothers teritory and now in their home and it felt slightly wrong. She was a rouge and kept away from other lions but here she was in anothers home sharing their meal. She ate a little of the meat not really that hungry and she had noticed that Sarabi was looking a little um.. fat. She wanted to ask how long it would be till the cubs would make an appearance though she thought it best not to.

((Sorry about the wait guys. Vacation, trying to recover and catch up from everything I missed on vacation, and some rping 'issues' have kept me going REALLY slow these days. So Lessee... ))
-He watched silently as Sarabi and the young lioness made their way back towards the den, streching gently out, as he too stood. His direction however wasn't to follow, but instead, he glanced back across the grasses, searching again for the grey lioness.
Giving his large golden mass a small shake, helping to finish the sun soaked drying process from his swim, he called lightly, hoping not to scare the already skittish lioness.- "Young one, are you alright? Is there something I can help you with?"

((No problem, Iris. I understand completely xd ))
Dama's ears flattened against her head as she heard the great voice. Was he talking to her? Or had another wandered by while she was moping. Quickly, she swiped her face with a paw, dashing away the tears that somehow threatened to keep flowing. Her head was ducked low still, so she was unable to see who the great king was addressing.
Although she was sure the best idea would be to stay hidden amongst the grass, Dama chanced a look around. Raising her head so that the darker tips of her ears weren't the only things now exposed, the young lioness glanced across the expanse, back towards where she'd seen the golden lioness, then towards the sound of his voice. No one seemed to be around, besides him and her. Did that mean he was talking to her? Almost fearful of the answer, Dama's eyes locked upon Mufasa's, though she didn't mean to.
Frozen in a half state of fear, half of curiousness, the young lioness stood stock still. Her muzzle was still damp from the tears she'd just been crying, her ears were still flattened against her skull, more in a submissive fashion than aggressive. Her coat was dirt, though not as unkempt as it had been when she lived as the firekin's slave. All in all, she was definately in better condition than a couple of months ago. Her voice, however, was a different story. Ragged from little to no use, she had to clear her throat several times before she was able to get a real sound out.
"I-i-i--i..." was all she could say.

-Padding forwardly slowly he wondered softly where the little lioness had come from.. and where she was going? Rouges from the surrounding areas tended to be pretty calm, if a little timid around him. Rouges from the Firekin lands tended to be either violent and cocky, or simply solemn and quiet. But this little one seemed horrified beyond her mind, and it caused him to pause a little as he neared her, speaking again gently.-
"I won't hurt you dear... I'm just curious about those who come to rest in the Pridelands..."

Dama shrunk down slightly as he approached her, unsure of whether to flee, or whatnot. Surely anything he could do wouldn't be nearly as bad as when she'd lived in the firekin territory. A surge of strength coursed through her body, as she slowly realized what she was doing. She couldn't act like this anymore. No longer was she the slave of a brutal pride. No longer was she a slave to anyone, save herself.
Sitting up, and out of the submissive crouch she'd just been in, the gray lioness bowed her head in respect. It wasn't a complete change in her demeanor, more as a beginning of a change. Her eyes still reflected the fear, but it was ebbing now. His kind words seemed to help ease her to relaxation. "I.. am sorry for having...." Dama paused as she frantically fished for words. ".. Intruded upon your lands, great King. I truly hope the stories whispered across the desert are true, and that you'll be merciful." Glancing up towards him again, the small lioness paused again, unsure of what else to say.
((*Snuuuuugles Iris and curls up between her bunny ears XD*))

Sarabi groaned as she felt a pain through her middle. Now? No... meerly one of the cubs being rowdy. The queen smiled to herself. Perhaps one would be a troublemaker, a brave cub that got into all kinds of scrapes just to prove that they were the best. Perhaps it was yearning for the freedom of birth, impatient with the slow process of growing. Sarabi purred as she trotted out of the den and settled down on a sun-bathed rock. The warmth seemed to settle the cub, and its movements stopped.

((bah... I posted too soon confused I havn't been around the shop lately, so I didn't know Dusty is on semi-hiatus because of RL problems. That explains why I never got a reply from Mkodi... We'll have to play it by ear and see what happens. We might need to postpone the birth till we hear some news.))

Remove ((do you need to have the cubs when she has birth? or she could just have a slow birth...)) ((yeah, that's what I mean. It might be an extended birth, if we don't get the cubs. She can't actually have them, until we have the pics. bah... oh well.))

((Not that my opinion counts for much, but I vote to strike the last two rp posts from the record, and continue on with rp. An extended birth would screw with our minds, and I'm sure the rest of us would like to keep on with the rp, instead of leaving it hanging like it is... Dusty's got RL going on, and won't be on for a while yet, so working more indepth on some rp might be a good thing. I for one, would like to continue work on the rp between Muffy and Dama.))
