Uumikaji, surprisingly, tottered through the grass from the opposite direction. He'd fallen back from Kiuma a bit ago, and had made a large arc around this area, where he'd encountered that copper cub, whatever his name was. He'd been /ignored/ by the other! He sniffed lightly, panting still. He did not have that cute chubbiness a cub should have, rather a sickly skin and bones look. He swallowed when his crimson gaze fell on Kiuma.. and what's this? Kamilika as well. His lip slightly curled at that and he just stood there, breathing heavily and watching the two.
"S..sorry I took so long.. to catch up.." He huffed, gaze flicking to his twins. Hopefully she wouldn't say anything about him not coming in the same direction she had.
edit: guh.. this post doesnt make sense >_< mrr. uuhm. Ill fix it when i get home today, i spose.

 Mchele stopped his nudging against Sarabi as the two adult lionesses made to lay down on the hard rocky floor. Even though both took care not to squash him, he still darted a little out of the way to be safe. He didn't fancy being squished at all!
Once they were down and any risk was gone, he came back up to his mother again. Sitting himself down between her front paws he mewed a little and begged for more licks and affection. "Moofafa?" He questioned as he bumped his head against Bakhti's chin. Like Kiburi he didn't have any clue what a leader was. But the pride was their home, or so he'd heard his mother mention. This place was their home, their pride was their home. "And chill-dren? Sabi have cubs too?" He looked over at her, although she seemed a little preoccupied, not noticing one of aforementioned cubs come creeping up to see them.

A large chocolate and ivory figured padded into the Pridelands, each massive paw touching the ground with a loud thump. His long chocolate mane flew behind him as he ran towards the group of lions, slowing slightly as he moved foward and licked Bakhti on the nose affectionately, before reaching down to the two cubs. "Hello," He grinned, licking each of them in turn, pawing playfully at them both, his grin growing wider.
Mahiri looked to Sarabi, bowing his head gracefully. "Hello," He began, trying to think
"I am the father of these two beautys, and the mate of the lovely Bakhti." He remained bowed. "May I ask your permission to reside here with my family?" He knew he would have to ask the king also, but Sarabi was the one who had to give her permission. It was actually rather intimidating, being infront of a queen. He paused again, smiling. "Congratulations on your litter."

Bakhti smiled at her daughter, "Leader, she is Queen, ruler of the pride. We do as she asks." She purred happily as her son deciding to rub against her chin. "Mchele its Mufasa. He is the king. Yes she has cubs, you can become friends with them or something!" She smiled happily, continuing to purr.
She however raised rather quickly when her mate arrived, "Mahiri!" She smiled as she nuzzled him and licked at his face. "i didn't realise you would follow so quickly!" Her face had lit up and her eyes stared lovingly at Mahiri. She was happy to have her family together. Happily.

 Kiuma brightened instantly when her twin appeared. "No problem, Uumi. I was talking to Kami, so it wasn't a big deal." Her expression grew stern. "But you'll need to learn to keep up. It's dangerous for you to fall so far behind." She turned and continued past him, headed back to Priderock..... Sarabi smiled down at the male cub. "Yes, I have five wonderful little cubs." She looked up as the male came up to them, rising onto her haunches. The queen faced the male squarely, her glance probing. "You are Bakhti's mate? I don't believe we've been introduced, though you seem to know who I am. As for joining the pride, that is entire up to Mufasa, the king."

He smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Sarabi." He paused for a moment. "My name is Mahiri." He bowed one more, raising his large chocolatey maned head as he pulled himself back up again. He licked Bakhti again, looking down to the two cubs and nudging his son with a grin. "How have you been, love?" He asked Bakthi. "I couldnt leave you alone, so I toko a small walk and made it my duty to find you..." His grin widened, as he sat down and wound his big paws around his son with a masculine purr.

 She paused to glance up at her mother and Mchele, glassy eyes tracing over them. It seemed her brother didn't know what it meant either, but it wasn't too long before mama explained.
"Qwween." She said, moving to glance up at Sarabi once more. So this lioness was in charge of them too? Like a second mama? Oh so it made sense! They would be safer now because they had more parents to take care of them, this did mean no more sneaking away...but perhaps she could use the opportunity to hone her stealth skills.
Her eyes then snapped up at the sounds of approaching footsteps, her body momentarily finding a hideaway behind 'Sabi's' hind leg until she realised who it was. "Daddy!" She squeaked cheerfully, scrambling over to sit between his forepaws and turned to beam up at the others. However she caught the more serious look in Sarabi's face and lowered herself a little, ears and tail drooping. "D-daddy not part of pride?" She looked almost tearful.

Mahiri licked the top of her head, the soft smile remaining on his face as he watched her sweet reaction. She was so cute, and so adorable. He was blessed with the most beautiful family, and it was the most precious think to him, the best thing that had ever happened in his life, was Bakhti and the cubs birth.
He lowered his head to meet hers. "Awww, dont worry Kiburi..." His tone was soft and delicate, quite an acheivement from a male of course, who was usually heard roaring and speaking in his usual deep voice. "Hopefully Daddy will be part of the pride soon, If Mufasa lets him stay." He touched her nose with his. "I will never leave you, I promise."

Bakhti smiled happily at her mate and watched her two little cubs, they were so small and innocent. She purred happily. She listened to Sarabi as she said the same thing to Mahiri as she had said to her. "Dont worry Mahiri, I am sure Mufasa will be around somewhere!" She smiled and laid back down again pulling Kiburi towards her to give her a bath.
She was however slightly sad that neither of Sarabi's cubs were around. She wanted her children to make friends while young so they could grow up with them, have friends for life sort of thing! She had so many dreams for her cubs, some may have been a little ambitious!

Uumi made a sour face at his siters back, following behind. He quickly masked that look, gaze flicking to his home. "Oh, of course. Im sorry, I will learn to keep up." He muttered softly. His tail flicked behind him, irritated. Why wasn't something wrong with Kiuma? Why was he the sickly one? His gaze could see tiny figures up on the rock, though that was all he could make out. "Pfft, it looks busy today." He murmered, generally showing dislike for crowds.

Mchele only paused in his nuzzling and pawing for his mother's attention when he saw his father arrive. The sight of a large adult male lion would normally be enough to send him cowering, or at least a pair of flattened ears, but he recognised his father immediately. "Daaad!" He squeaked, happily, although he was put out when Bakhti got to her feet and disturbed his spot between her front paws.
He ploped back on his hunches and listened to the adults. Five cubs huh? He didn't know how many five was... but it sounded like lots. Wonder what they were like? Hmmm... and Sa-sabi was a queen so they had to do as she said? Even his dad had to bob at her and ask to stay. That was kinda mean... how come his mum and sister and him could stay without asking? Or maybe they had to as well. Hopping out from his father's paws, which had been wrapped around him as Mahiri had laid down, he creeped up with a new cautiousness. Pausing, he mimiced his dad and dipped his head, looking up at the queen. "Can I ask Moofasah too? I want to stay as well..."

She purred as her father gave her some attention and the small smile returned to her maw as she glanced up into his dark eyes. She trusted him with no question and it never occurred to her joyfully, her cheering cut off as her mother pulled her aside to wash her.
She gave a small squeak of surprise and wriggled, trying to get away from the attentions her mother was giving her. There was no time for a bath. Mchele was right! They all needed permission! "Me too!" She chirped up between wriggling, "me want stay too, see Moosie lion." She gave them another small smile. Eyes leaving their little group to locate the said one. Was he the one who was going to be their second daddy?
Her eyes caught sight of two reddish cubs sort of close by, but not close enough so that they could speak. She recognised one of them instantly however. Rocky! The one who had been all grumpy and liked to kick pebbles about. She covered her muzzle with a paw to smother a giggle. That fiery cub had been weird.

Bakhti noticed the two red cubs also and smiled, "They your two aswell then Sarabi?" she spoke softly looking at the two red cubs. She then turned to her children, "Kiburi and Mchele neither of you need to ask to join as I am part of the pride, your father isn't so he needs to!" She smiled happily at them and then picked Kiburi up to wash her again. She smiled wondering if Kiburi was getting embarressed and that was why she didn't want a wash.

 -Kami slipped ahead of her two red siblings, ears falling gently as she heard the soft sisterly scoldings that came from Kiuma. It must be neat to have a twin?
From her hiding place amongts the rocks, which happened to blend very well with her bland golden coat, she listened softly to the going on's of the small group, eyes flicking from her mother to the new comer. Spotting the full grown male approach she froze. It wasn't often you saw one coming along the pride rocks other then her daddy... what did he want?
As the conversation traveled onto her dad, she continued to peer, watching the two lively and sweet cubs, before her eyes drifted to her red hued siblings in the distance.-

Not understanding why dad needed permission and he and Kiburi didn't, the little mottled male looked back at Sarabi with a questioning gaze. Well... if mum said so. But still, he wanted to be sure. This pride thing sounded good if mum was in it and dad wanted to be too. "Kay...." He said, sounding unsure still.
At the sound of his sister's solf giggling, he tilted his head. Mchele hadn't met the red cub that Kiburi had. But looking round, since everyone else was glancing in that direction, he spotted the two reddish figures. Sa-sabi's five cubs? He pondered, listening to his mother ask about them. Oh wait she said two, so five must mean more than that many. Were they coming this way? He decided to wait near his parents and see.
Flicking his tail back and forth a little, he waited impatiently for Bakhti to finish washing Kiburi. Why his pale sibling wriggled and fought to get away he didn't know. Bath time was nice and if Kiburi would just sit still it would be his turn quicker!
