Aquos paused to think about her question...It had been so long ago." They were saddened but they understood...They'll be happy to see you once again. Their family is getting quiet large now..." How many cubs had they had since Sienna left? Too many...Two or three litters...His attention shifted briefly...Someone...Someone was coming down from the river. The unannounced female seemingly tip toed around the waters edge. It was only natural for her to be by the water, their pride had been a river pride, her father the last king.
Zinerva stopped at the scent of a strange female. She knew the scents of the pride, this was like her second home. It was also why she was unannocent. She was at the pride so ofter that she and her family, were quiet well known. "Aquos?" She called out for her brother. Maybe he knew something she didn't.

Sienna felt better to know they weren't angry, and with a large family, they were quite occupied now, she was sure. She gazed out across the empty lands wondering what it'd be like to have that sort of family...she could only imagine how big her own was now, let alone Santos's...
She was surprised out of her thoughts (having missed Aquos's shift of attention) by a female voice calling her love's name. Jumping slightly in surprise, she looked around quickly before spying the pretty lioness approaching along the river. Immediately, Sienna felt self-conscious at her beauty, the way she carried herself...even though she could tell she was a relation of Aquos's (it was a hard to miss that blatant fact), or perhaps it was also because of it, that Sienna pressed herself as close to Aquos as she could. Man, she felt so plain and ugly now...
"Who is she?", she finally asked softly, with a edge of fright to her voice. She wasn't exactly terrified, she just wasn't sure how to react, and had too many emotions running through her at that precise moment that it might of boiled down to that....

"Errm..." He sighed slightly. "I was hoping to ease you into this Sienna, but it seems fate has chosen to rush this." Aquos didn't full want to explain his family to her..Not now..But it wasn't much of a chose now was it? She was hear after all..."Zin! Zin, over here!" Aquos called out, who caugh his sister's attention right away. A sight puzzled look flashed upon the females face as she approached. There was no easy way for him to explain this to the both of them.
"Sienna, this is my sister Zinerva, Zinerva, this is my mate Sienna."
Zinerva slightly canted her head. Mate? Something had happened here...But she'd question her brother later about it. "So your Sienna! Aquos has done nothing but speak so highly of you to us! It's a pleasure to meet you." With a smile the female bowed to Sienna like the former princess she was.

Sienna flashed a look at Aquos that echoed his sister's puzzled look, stood and bowed back to what was now her sister-in-law, she supposed, giving her an apologetic smile. "I...I truly wish I could same the same of you, Zinerva, but if your anything like Aquos, then I have no doubts of your merit. I have to say it is my pleasure to meet you." Turning to nuzzle Aquos, she added, "And it's okay...seems today is going to be one full of surprises for everyone..."

Aquos smiled weakly. This was just his sister...There were so many more members of his family now..."Ya...And there's my brother..And my dad...And my half siblings....And Stryker had more cubs and....You messed a lot." He looked away sheepishly..This was...Embarrassing...
"We can have a family get together! I'd love to meet your family Sienna! I'm sure daddy would want to meet you too!" Zinerva was getting excited! Their'd be tones of lions! Like back at the pride! She'd have to track down Anibus for this! Daddy could meet him then!

Sienna was starting to feel even more out of place at the idea of meeting all the lions she would sure would like to meet her or even see her once again...not just of Aquos's family, but if she suspected was true, she knew her own mother had been using Lilac at least to keep tabs on her well-being. Knowing her own children, at least Lilac and Cosmo as Rosa seems to have disappeared into oblivion (which worried her greatly), the get-together would become a mass party of not only Aquos's family, but her family, her extended family, Santos's family, Nimbus's family (which, admittedly, she was related to both through Yukio, so one could call them family as well), then you got Styker's family, THEIR extended families even maybe....The list just kept growing, and she started to have a panic attack.
Sitting down once more, she buried her face in his mane till she'd calmed down once more, breathing his scent till she stopped hyperventilating. It'd been so long since she'd been around others, having spent the months mostly wandering completely alone ('cept for the kids of course, popping up now and then) the idea of being around a whole mess of lions clamoring for her attention was too much to handle.
Embarrassed at her own reaction, but now firmly back (mostly) in control of her emotions, she looked between Aquos and Zinerva with a pleading look. "Can we...take it slow? I'd like to meet your family first...." She wondered what Zinerva thought of her having run off, and was terrified of what the others would think of her as well....would they like her? Would they talk about her behind their back? Probably suspect her of running off again on the least provocation.... She leaned against Aquos for comfort....she wouldn't be able to handle this on her own.
