TormentedAngie Pawing at Kitwana's nose in a calming manner, Dama responded to the older lion's questions as calmly as she had before. "The cub lives, Kit. Mwezi still bore the cub around, and herself as well, not that long ago. I saw them with my own two eyes, and whilst I didn't stay long, I believe Mwezi saw of me. Whether she was glad to see a former slave of hers or not is questionable, but I do know the cub was with her. The Pridelanders hadn't killed either of them, and ye Gods know Mwezi isn't as willing, or able to care for herself as we are, as she made us. So if they still live, why is it that they would take us as slaves?"
Below PrideRock, away from the activity going on within the den, the little lioness urged her companion, her former bondmate to listen, to hear what she was saying and take it for truth. She wouldn't lie to him, had no reason to. Gently, the mousy gray pelted Dama sidled up to her longtime companion, whether he wanted her to be or not, and nuzzled his shoulder. "Kitwana, I know things aren't always to be believed. I know as well as you what's at stake if we're taken as slaves again. But I honestly do not believe that this pride will do it. They would have done so long before this, if they'd planned to at all. Won't you believe me, just this once?"
At her mentioning Mwezi's current wanderings, the lion snorted.
"Just like a Firekin. No doubt the cub will pay the price for Mwezi's stupidity, her laziness."
That the cub was born a Firekin seemed not accepted by Kitwana. She was a helpless infant, bereft of pride, for eternity in his eyes.
Her comments on the pride he met with darkening eyes.
"If you are wrong, kid, you will pay the price, not me," he snarled. Never would he allow another to command his fate.

 -Well atleast she was happy about that. Maybe... maybe one day her sister could teach her to be a better huntress? She couldn't really be beyond hope..
As Kiuma's smile began to fade though, Kami stood again, looking to see if there was a way to escape from the prancing circle she'd be 'trapped' in. She knew the reasoning behind that expression. After all, she spent nearly the entirity of her life relitively close to her siblings. Offering a little bit of a worried smile, she stepped foward.- "M.. Maybe you should look. For Umi?"

 She watched her brother through wide eyes, moving a step forward and resting one of her small forepaws upon her mother's hindleg, glancing nervously at this lioness. Glassy vision swpet over the tan and cream coat of the adult female before her, taking note of the kindness in the other's red hued eyes.
A moment more and the little cub relaxed, this one wouldn't hurt them. She actually seemed to be quite nice. Small, pale ears perked up at the sound of her name being spoken, head tilting up once more to peer between her brother and the lioness named Sarabi.
"You mama's f-f-frend?" She asked quietly, struggling with the less familiar words. Then creeping forwards a little she came to sit behind her brother, being careful not to step on his tail. He wouldn't appreciate that.

As the large face of the Queen came up close to greet him Mchele's ears twitched back again, just a little unsure. But her eyes and expression were friendly and did indeed remind him of the look his mother had when she washed him. A friendly, kindly sort of face. His eared perked forward and his little nose twitched as he familiarised himself with her scent.
"Yup." He answered with a little squeak when she confirmed that was his name. "-ello Sa-sabi." Looking back when she mentioned his sister, he watched her come creep up behind him, flicking his tail out of the way of her paws just in case. "Uh huh, my sis."

Bakhti smiled at the queen as she looked at her cubs. Bakhti was ever so proud of them adn Sarabi seemed to like them aswell, always a good thing! She purred happily as she watched Mchele answer and Kiburi get the courage to walk a little nearer. It was nice to watch her cubs, how they reacted to different things. She loved both of them dearly and was slightly annoyed that Danzi and Mahiri weren't here to see this, a beautiful life. The cubs were adorable and young but they would soon make friends once she let them off to do what they wanted, this was nice, no it was more then nice, it was perfect.

 Kiuma sniffed, raising her nose into the air as her round ears fell back against her head. "I don't need to go look for him, I know right where he is." At least, she thought she did.... "Besides, He can go where he wants, its not like our tails are tied together." She flicked her tail and started to pad back towards Priderock. Maybe her brother was there, escaping from the heat of the day and resting....... Sarabi smiled softly, sitting back on her haunches. "Yes, I'm a friend." She said to the pale little female. "A very good friend. I'd like to be your friend too, you and your brother. What do you think?"

Kijito let out a soft mewl as he toddled through the tall grasses. Peering about at the strange lands and creatures, he was currently among. Having wandered into the midst of a herd of wildebeests. Staring at one of the creatures in front of him, he tentitivly reached out to try and grasp the swaying tail in his paws. A recipe for chaos as the wildebeest immediatly lashed out when it felt the paws on it's tail. It foot just barely catching the side of the Kijito's face. It hadn't been a very hard kick, in the way that kicks go. However to the cub, it had been sucessful in dislodging him from it's tail. Kijito lay on the ground unmoving for several seconds before letting out a painfilled mewl and scrambling to his feet. A gash now ran through his left eye, most likely blinding him in the eye.

She giggled quietly to herself as she watched her brother move his tail out of the way and reached out to try and tap at it with a paw. He was funny! Then bounding sideways and taking another few steps forward she moved to rub her side up against Sarabi's foreleg.
"Think it be 'kay." She agreed to Sarabi's question and turned to blink slate-blue eyes up at her mother. A picture of sweet innocence she was. "Mama say we safe here, be home now." She continued to the crimson-eyed lioness, taking great pride in her conversationalist skills.
"Sabi have nice fur." She ducked her head and moved to wind around the two large forepaws, catching sight of the lioness' tail and making to pounce it.

Mchele looked up at the queen, completely oblivious to the fact that the female head of the pride was asking to be his and his sister's friend. "Kay...." He gave a little nod. "Haven't got any fwends." He didn't think his family counted and he hadn't really met any other cubs yet. Plus, as he continued to flick his tail out of the way of his sister's paws, he wasn't sure if he wanted to be friends with Kiburi if all she wanted to do was pounce on him and wrestle.
Fortunatly she decided to leave him be for the moment and rub up to Sarabi. "Nice fur?" He asked, tilting his head and looking curiously as she wound herself around the other adult's legs. This he had to try too and so he stepped forward and nudged his head against the Queen's front leg. "It is!"

Bakhti purred happily at her cubs as they made there way into the world of meeting others. She smiled happily, her bright blue eyes looking into her daughters and flicking down to watch her son. She laid down making sure that Mchele wasn't in the way or anything.
"Kiburi and Mchele, I dont think I told you.. Sarabi and her mate, Mufasa are the leaders of the pride!" She continued to purr happily, "They have just had their own children so if you wish to run off and find some others to play with you can!" She licked at Mchele again as Kiburi was playing with Sarabi's tail. She couldn't help but giggle a little.

Sarabi purred as she stretched out on her stomach, flicking her tail for the pleasure of Kiburi. This was what she loved most about having cubs, the playfulness and nurturing. The sun beat down, warming and soothing her tired bodyand leaving her content and lazy. Bahkti's cubs were just wonderful, and would make good additions to the pride as they grew. A flash of red caught the Queen's eye and she perked her ears at the grass below Priderock. Her purr intensified as it seemed that at least one of her cubs was roaming a little closer to home today. Vaguely, she wondered where her mate had gotten to, as well as the other cubs.

Tail! And it was moving! Kibu's eyes widened with joy, the glassy vision swirling with excitement as she bounced forwards almost gracefully on her paws. However too eager to trap the tail she lost her footing and rolled sideways, legs flailing in the air and small body wriggling as she tried to right herself.
She gave a dissapointed mew, deciding to remain on her back and reach up to bat at the queen's tail as it swept past her nose.
It was then that her mother spoke and she paused just briefly in her play to glance in Bakhti's direction. "Leeeeed~ers." She repeated slowly, wrinkling her nose a touch. "What's that mama?"
She turned to glance to her brother who had moved forwards to 'Sabi' too, wondering if he had an ideas or if he was just as clueless as she.

((Muffy: *Napping under a tree somewhere* XD Nah, not really, if anyone wants him, just lemme know, and I'll send him your way. :3 ))
-Her sister's departure gave her a moment to step back, and Kami watched, uncertain of whether or not she should follow. Turning she glanced back out again, debating her thought before of going out to play again. However she was soon following after her sister once again, watching the large pride rocks expand up into the sky.
As she reached the bottom she began to climb the rocks slowly, deliberatly, to make sure a paw didn't slide away underneath her as she did, and when she finally reached the top she froze. She shouldn't be surprised that other's were hanging around the den.. but.. Creeping delicately the young heir tried to peek upon the small group.-
