Xanthus sat staring at the determined cub at his feet. Where was his protogue when he needed him? This would have been a perfect example of how to deal with insulence or possibly a wonderful disection lesson. How to kill a cub with minimal effort. But there was an air about the cub that caught him off guard, he did not fear the white giant. Something was familiar.
"Shoo fly, don't bother me. I have bigger and better things to kill."
Brutus would not take no for an answer however. "Has your speech thrown off you hearing old lion? I said I know who you work for and I want you to take me to him NOW!" This was getting redundant, folks at the watering hole told him where to find this white assasin of the day, but not the secret word to get what he wanted.
A snarl followed by a raised paw emerged from Xanthus. As he was about to strike, the secret words were said.
"I'm the only son of Geniva!" Brutus yelled out right before the paw struck him.
This meant that Xanthus had failed Lancelot... Which would only mean punishment. However, if he got rid of the cub before anyone else saw, then perhaps...
"What did he say, Xanthus?" Asked Valiant as he came out of his hiding place. "Why does this spook you?"

Lancelot had been brooding. Terribly. Something had been nagging at him, it was that time of year again....
Gineva. Had it honestly been that long? Had his first love that would have born one of his many litters, one that he would actually took to heart. But then, he found out the wench was cheating on him...ugh! So, to punish her, he raped her savagely, never letting it up. Then, he beat her senseless. Then, he ordered the wench and the seed that had blemished her womb dead, by Xanthus's hand of course...
But he couldn't help but feel like something was incomplete. Something that wasn't taken care of. Maybe he just needed a walk. Getting up from his brooding cave, he stepped out into the light feeling refreshed and feeling a new...if only for a moment.
Lancelot gave a small scoff. "Xanthus, I didn't know you were taking in more minions for little Valiant. Don't you think he has enough already? And he's not gay, bring him more females next time, if you do."

Xanthus shook his had lightly with his face stone cold, he knew he was in trouble. He had done something very wrong and may very well loose his other eye as punishment. The way he was holding the red and white cub had made it difficult for him to breath, speaking was impossible but that didn't stop him from trying.
Valiant pulled up and parked beside his father chuckling, though not too close for he felt his father was in one of those moods. If it were possible for Val to speak out of term, he would suggest that Lancelot was going through some type of mid-life crisis. However such a suggestion would not be taken kindly. "Father, I don't believe this one's for me... He was adamant about seeing you. Said his mother was some whore named Gineva."
Since the cub could not speak, he nodded furiously, motioning to his eyes which were dead on his deceased mothers.
At all of this, Xanthus winced, waiting for it.

Lancelot looked slightly confused over at Xanthus and then his son. He was about to comment before he stood frozen. "G-Gineva?!" Growling, he glared over at Xanthus and then down at the cub.
"Well, I'd be damned..." Stepping lightly over to him, he looked the cub up and down. He had mostly red and white, but his eyes were definitely Gineva's...
Looking over at Xanthus, he excused himself from the cubs biting Xanthus on the tail and practically dragging him over to the side. When they were out of hearing distance, he snarled over at his lackey, smacking the hell out of him with a paw. "Damn it, Xanthus! I gave you one simple order, and you're too incompetent to finish it!!"
Snarling, he backed away from the beaten lion, his claws unsheathed at this point slightly tainted in Xanthus' blood.

Valiant was certainly as confused as ever, none of this made any sense to him, well... Alright in a way it did because he knew his father but until the words came out of his mouth, he refused to believe what his gut told him. Until that point, he stared the kitten down with a malicious look.
Brutus may have been younger than his brother but by no means was he afraid of him. Standin up straight now released from the oaf's mouth he cleared his voice, hoping he wouldn't squeek as he said his first words to his father. Now he must put his plan into action which meant being nice.
Xanthus knew what was coming and did not speak nor fight back, just took his punishment. "I'm sorry Boss.." Was all that he said over and over again. He beat the lioness within an inch of her life... How did he survive? Now would be a great time to prove himself once again by taking the cub out for sure.

Lancelot had to compose himself now. Take time to think, to breathe it all in. So, he had two heirs now. Two ways he could pass himself on. Two chances...Two was definitely better than one. Of course, Valiant was the chosen one, but if something were to happen...well, it wouldn't hurt to have a back up. Besides, young ones could be trained easily.
With a smirk, he looked over at Brutus. "So, Brutus...." He began, pacing in front of the two cubs. "What do you hope to accomplish? To become part of the family? Or, are you trying to worm your way in to avenge your dead mother, hmm?" Arching his brows, he stared down at Gineva's cub....his cub. Gineva was nothing more than a memory now.
