Mchele looked over him, relief evident on his face as Kota' assured him he was ok. And it turned into a beam of pride when his cub showed such adoration. It was never something he ever expected receiving before he'd had cubs.

"Weeellll.... I couldn't let them mess with us huh? But I think that is a wise idea - not going so far in. It is dangerous in there." His expression looked serious for a moment and he leaned down to nudge the boy's head. "I'm sorry if I scared you Kota'... I truely didn't mean for that to happen."

He blinked when the black juvenile offered to help him with his injury though. Indeed the wound had begun searing now that he was no longer in a fight or flight situation and the blood seeping from it was staining his golden fur. But his cub was so concerned for him it warmed the heart.
"Thank you Kota'. Perhaps you could led the way to the closest waterhole?" Mchele smiled, dispite his pain, thinking his adventurous cub would have a good idea of the layout of the Pridelands by now.

He twisted round and began to lick at the bleeding flesh. He had little idea about treating wounds except that they needed to be cleaned. Licking it seemed to help slow the bleeding too.

Rasuli gave a 'hmph!' of satisfation. "Good work. Maybe not the best result but at least they've gone. And I reckon we gave them something to think about. If they've any sense they'll not come back and will tell others not to try anything with us hyenas either." He nodded again and look back towards Fritt.

"Yeah, I reckon you did. If it hadn't turned tail back to the adult..." Rasuli added. Was he trying to give her some sort of support? It kinda seemed like it.... but she did look worried, even though she tried to cover it. And he had called out to warn her during the fight. It was odd, after so long with just himself to take care of (Mafa certainly didn't need him for that).

"I'm alright. I don't plan on dying anytime soon. Bothered or not." The older hyena replied. "It'll take more..." He started, testing out his jaw again but stopping with a wince. "...than that."
