Badieh: (11:35:38 PM): She was different, not too small or too large but she wasn't brightly pelted like her father, she retained most of her pelt color from her mother but the marking on her forearm she was proud of. A symbol of her blood, her heritage, her family's royalty. Flicking her tail she huffed, attempting to hop onto a rock that was obviously too large for her to handle, tiny claw markings in the surface, and she made a pitiful snarl as she was still too young to come close to a proper one. She wanted to make her father nad mother proud, she wanted to have them be roud of everything she did. Glancing towards the 'others' the traitors' land she spat.
Badieh: (11:37:02 PM): "They don't know what will come," she said softly. She was young, but had dreams of rain and fire, and her father and mother being happy in their old home, rightful home. She was still too young to understand completely, she only knew that they were in the wrong spot, and she wanted to be where everything was rightly hers's and her family's. "I wonder how big I have to get to have dady take me there," she wondered, and tried again at climbing the stone, failing each time. (end)
Sinbad: (11:48:45 PM): It was a lot to belly... for one, he didn't even much like Jua. She was amusing enough in her own right, something he liked to have around to occupy his time and demonstrate his expertise in the art of being a pain in the a**. That and he needed someone to brag to about his lineage, his now very full mane, and his thick body. It was almost a game to him. But now...
She was the mother of his children. He should have known, having spent that one day in her cave... it was her own fault for falling into heat when she did. For luring him into her cave. That was his story and he was sticking to it.
However...he couldn't turn his cubs away. They were his afterall, a part of a proud lineage. Despite his disliking of their mother, he couldn't be prouder in his little bundles of fur. And just like his father before him, he'd forge them into warriors just like himself...and one day they'd patrol -their- rightful terriory once more.
The male smirked to his reflection- which stared proudly back up at him from the small puddle much of the pride came to for water. The cubs would be old enough to leave the den by now... old enough to begin their training. "Oye." He reached up to comb back some of his mane. Where to start? That was the question.
Badieh: (11:52:28 PM): Badieh fell again and again onto the sand with a thump and then she was over it. She crouched down and tried to have a rumble erupt from her throat loud and proud, but something tiny came out instead. She was embarrassed, and angry, she needed to be better, get better. But how? Peering around she rolled her shoulders, glanced towards hte sun and then towards her forearm, yes, she was firekin true blood, she wore it proudly. If her pelt did not tell everyone of her blood, she surely would. Her voice would be heard.
Badieh: (11:53:40 PM): Stalking around along several stones and dunes she spotted a familiar red mass the pool of water, and she grinned. Ducking down she maneruvered herself to move behind the rocks, her eye on the prize. Crimson hues were focused on a stone she would climb upon, jump from, and pounce on her father...her daddy. She wanted to be strong, formal, btu she also could not deny the love she felt for her father. (end)
Sinbad: (12:01:36 AM): A tiny rustle, a pathetic squeek, and the clumsy stumble-walk of a cub. He smirked a bit. He knew those sounds all too well...he was a master of those sounds as a youth. Clumsy, dirty, and....perhaps a little over-eager. Even for a cub. Kenna often spent hours grooming him back into shape, Afzal spent hours teaching him the fine mechanics of stealth. Though he'd never admit to it.
A dark ear rolled back slowly, listening as she approached him. A quiet smirk played accross his maw. She was sneaking up on him eh? Well...might as well play along.
"AHHHH. Such a nice day! Just look at those..." Something, something. His mind picked around for a moment. "...weeds."
Sinbad: (12:01:39 AM): ((end))
Badieh: (12:03:30 AM): Badieh was sneaking in for the 'kill', in a manner of speaking. She was climbing atop the shorter rock that she could handle, crouched down, was at the ready, and heard her father's voice and nearly fell off the rock she was perched upon. "Daddyyyy!" she whined, sliding down the side of the rock and halting with a thuimp and a small cloud of dust, "you could hear me, couldn't you daddy?" she asked with the most pathetic look upon her maw.
Badieh: (12:04:32 AM): "I can't do it right," she was going to say daddy again, but she figured after two he knew how muchs he adored him, after two, every time she saw him. Father in front of others of the pride, but when alone, he was her daddy. "I couldn't even climb a stupid rock," she said batting at the ground with a paw angrily, "Why can't I do it right?" (end)
Sinbad: (12:19:33 AM): "Well yeah." He smirked a bit as he turned smothly and paced over to the now dust-coated cub. "But I've had a lot of experience. C'mere." He reached his paw out and scooped her over towards him, "You know when I was your size I couldn't even catch bugs? I caught -dead- bugs. Even those were few and far between, heh."
The lion dropped down onto his belly and began running his tongue over her back. Dust...blech. He'd never groomed anyone else other than himself up to this point- it was different. Something he'd have to get used to eventually. "You'll learn. I'll teach'ya. Don't take any advice from your mom either- lioness couldn't sneak up on her own shadow if she tried....heh."
Badieh: (12:21:53 AM): "Dadddyyy!" she said with a giggle, batting at his paw and then the underside of his chin, "No," she whined. She was a female but she didn't mind getting dirty at all, but she was always caught and cleaned at one time or another. As her father's tongue rolled over her back she pouted, eyes half open, and then she flailed and tried to roll from his grasp. "I can't catch any type of bug, I can't find anything, and I can't climb this stupid rock, I'm too small," she was overly ambitious.
Badieh: (12:22:52 AM): "I want to be better at it all daddy," she said in all seriousness in a childlikd tone, "I want to be strong like you," she said with a smile. "teach me something daddy, please?"(end)
Sinbad: (12:26:57 AM): "Hmm...teach you something?" He leaned back, allowing the cub her freedom for the moment. His mouth was feeling dry anyway. Might as well. Of course, the eager cub had to slap him back to the very problem he'd been struggling with before her arrival- where to start.
"Well uh..." He tapped the bottom of his chin a bit, then glanced over to his paw. "Hm. How about learning to throw out some blows hm? It'll be useful if one of your siblings gets the jump on you."

Sinbad: (5:18:49 PM): Badieh: (12:21:53 AM): "Dadddyyy!" she said with a giggle, batting at his paw and then the underside of his chin, "No," she whined. She was a female but she didn't mind getting dirty at all, but she was always caught and cleaned at one time or another.

"Well uh..." He tapped the bottom of his chin a bit, then glanced over to his paw. "Hm. How about learning to throw out some blows hm? It'll be useful if one of your siblings gets the jump on you."
Badieh: (5:21:01 PM): "Okay!" Badieh exclaimed loudly, hopping onto her paws. Although, the tempation of jumping onto her father's back and trying to burrow into his mane was also a possibility, but perhaps that would be for another day. "What should we do, is here good, should we go somewhere else where they wouldn't be able to watch? I don't want them to interfere daddy, it should be just yu and me."
Badieh: (5:21:47 PM): Thats how she always wanted it, her and her father, and one day, she would find a way for her and her father to go over to the rebels and take back was rightyly belonged to their family, to their blood, "What do I do first daddy, huh?" she was getting excited, too ovbious by her anxious movements.(end)
Sinbad: (5:27:11 PM): Sinbad chuckled and plopped his hind quarters down. "They won't. Just you and me- besides-" He glanced around shortly, "I don't see anyone coming. They're likely still sleeping or playing around the den."
He reached out one of his paws, exposing the thick, dark pad. "Now, don't use your claws just yet. You gotta get your swing right first. Do that and you can snap a gazelle's leg like a twig- which works better than a few cuts." He smirked, "Let's see what you got."
Badieh: (5:29:27 PM): Badieh huffed at his comment, "They shouldn' be sleeping or playing they should be trainging!" she said matter of factly. PLaying without training was of no use, least in her eyes, they needed to be strong nad fast and inlligent, how else were they going to go over to the rebels and get them out of their lands anyway?!
Badieh: (5:30:49 PM): Badieh watched her father move, and looked towards his pad, she looked at her own and her claws, and resheathed them as to not hurt her father. She moved to make her stance as strong and balance as she could, it was close to her father, because she had no yet tested singing while moving. This would be her first chance. "RRrrmph!" was the noise she made through gritted teeth and she swung her tiny paw into her father's massive one, and nearly lost her balance in the movement.(end)
Sinbad: (5:35:05 PM): "Alright, you gotta correct your posture first." He reached his other paw out and shifted her paws around a bit. "Find your footing. If you lose your footing before your opponent or prey-you'll be at the disadvantage."
"Next-", he tapped Badieh's shoulder, "This is where you swing from. The shoulder. Roll it forward, throw your power in from the shoulder out to your paw. If you use your wrist- it'll be the one to snap."
He settled back and offered his pad once more. "Try again."
Badieh: (5:36:51 PM): badieh felt her father push and press on her tiny body to maniuplate how she was standing and where she should create her movements from so that their would be more of a fliud motion, not a forced one. "I'll try," she listened to his comments on her stance, and rubbed her paws into the sand a little bit to suite her footing. There she had a ground root, and wouldn't topple over if she missed.
Badieh: (5:38:07 PM): She watched his paw, and tried again, eyes half closed with determination flickering in the crimson orbs, she swept out her tiny arm again, this time, with a bit more force, and in the movement, she did not faulter. her little paw hit her father's, obviously, not hard enough to hurt him, maybe create pressure, but her mind made her believe that she could have just created a death blow! "I did it!" she exclaimed in glee, a smile on her maw. ((end))
Sinbad: (5:39:32 PM): "That's right." He rubbed the top of her head with with side of his paw. "Now you keep practicin' that, then I'll show you how to throw your claws into the mix. They're not always used for cutting- but for holding." He stretched his claws out, "You get them with a blow like that- then sink these bad boys into their skin- it hooks in. Holds 'em while you finish the job with your teeth."
Badieh: (5:45:46 PM): "Okay," Badieh said while listening, intent n absorbing everything her father had to say. "Ill practice the swing a bit more though I think, I want that to be really good before I try to add something onto it. I don't want to move too fast and not do it right, beause then I might have to start all over!" she said with a smile. She was always enhusiastic about learning new things, moreso when her father and her spent time alone together.
Badieh: (5:46:30 PM): Badieh then purred and rubbed ehr form against her father forearm, since she wasn't large enough to try and hop onto his back in thisposition just yet. "Thank you daddy" she said softly, licking the fur on his leg as a sign of appreciation, and love. (end)
Sinbad: (5:49:38 PM): Sinbad took a short glance around. It wouldn't do to have Jua suddenly poke her head out of the brush. That was the last thing he needed. The coast was clear enough...
He settled back down and brought a large paw around to scoop his daughter up. "C'mere you!"
Badieh: (5:54:27 PM): Badieh giggled and as she was scooped up she snuggle against his chest and mane and purred softly, "I'm going to be the best warrior ever daddy, you'll see, your gonna be so proud of me," she said with a snuggle of her chin under his. "i love you daddy, "(end)
Sinbad: (6:03:38 PM): "...uh..well I...uh..." He cleared his throat a bit, "You too kid. And don't worry about it, you got a long way to go before you'll need to think about fighting. Just don't go looking for trouble."
Badieh: (6:05:51 PM): "I won't daddy, I'll be good," she looked up at her father and knew he didn't say it back, but he was also her father, a male, and a warrior, and perhaps emotions could get in teh way of obtainging strength and stature. "Do you think, daddy, when I get better, we could go over to the borders? Huh?" she pleaded with large crimson hues.(end)
Sinbad: (6:07:06 PM): "...maybe." He frowned slightly, "The rebels have a lot of fighters on their side...even some from the outside joined in. We've got a lot of enemies. The only lions in the world we can trust are ourselves. Anyone else will dig their claws in your back the moment you turn it."
Badieh: (6:08:42 PM): "Oh, I see," Badieh pondered for a moent, biting her lip in the process, "Well, could you take me to see it? I want to see where we came from, where we're supposed to be, I want to know..." she said trailing off. "Even if someone see's us, I'll probably be bigger by then, and you'll be there, and we can take 'em on otgether daddy”
Sinbad: (6:12:45 PM): "Not yet.... and yes- together." He flicked the end of his tail, his gaze trailing off slowly. Where they belonged... it was hard to say. He was removed from the territory early on in life. All he'd known was war. "Just... promise you won't go alone alright? And don't listen to a thing your old lady says. She's nuts."
Badieh: (6:15:37 PM): "Alright, I won't go alone," she said with a nod. But someday, she might venture near to the borders, but not cross the, just so she could have a look on her own. "You and mom are so silly together," she said with a bat of her paw against his chest, and again she snuggled her head against hte fur of his mane. She yawned though, and curled against him, "we're going to be an awesome team one day daddy, and everyone will see it," she yawned again, closing her eyes and letting her paws grasp against the fur on his mane. She loved her father, and one day, would hopefully be the apple of his eye. (end)
Sinbad: (6:31:25 PM): He smirked a bit, "Yeah yeah...." To both statements really...
Jua couldn't even refuse the notion of their family taking the desert by storm, ruling over the inferior lions....maybe he'd find a place for -his- old man to settle down.
"You getting tired there?"
Badieh: (6:35:00 PM): Badieh: "Maybe a little" she saif softly, curling against him a little bit more, "Do we have to go back to the den? Can we stay here a little bit longer?" she asked. She knew if they went back her father would probably not be as attentive and open as when they were alone away from it all, so these moments she liked to have them linger a little bit longer, "Please daddy?"
Sinbad: (6:36:16 PM): "...I suppose." He glanced up towards the sky. It was kind of warm...but he was used to it. if that's what the kid wanted- he wasn't going to argue. He'd never had anyone...treat him this way. He really didn't know how to respond.
Badieh: (6:38:07 PM): "Thank you daddy," she said softly and purred again, she rolled out of the grasp of his paw and sat beside him, but grapsed his paw in her own and place it on her back as she laid down and curled up beside him. She let herself snuggle and curl into the warmth of his side nad sighed in content, this was how it should always be.
