 Theluji made her way back to Mommy, following the soothing tone of her voice. Her adventures had left her . . . baffled, really. Boys were so odd and different. She knew that everyone was different. Look at her and her siblings. All different, but that was them. That was how they were. She kind of expected boys to be, well like Kosey. Or like the big fluffy males of the pride, just smaller and less fluffy. And they were, but they also weren't.
So far, she really couldn't see what made them all alike. Theluji had observed them often and they did tend to unite with each other. But Dege was nice and playfully fun, rolling around in mud and throwing it. They pounced each other and made things in the mud. Dugi was different from that. He liked to talk and pounce on bitey-bugs and give her said bitey-bug. And Kosey, well Kosey was just Kosey.
Theluji wondered if it had to do with families. Maybe Dege's family liked the mud just as much as him, and Dugi's family liked to talk and slain things. But then there was Kosey. Well, Theluji always knew he was weird. But still, if Kosey wasn't like them, then why would Dege and Dugi be like their families.
Maybe Mommy could explain it to her.((sorry, but I still don't have the official cert, so I using this one redface .))

Motherhood had been very strange for the lioness. After her young life had been full of confusion and hurt and then suddenly distain and distance, after all the things she'd hated about losing her parents, not having a father or mother, she had brought fatherless cubs into the world. It was odd to think she'd done what she'd been most miserable about to these four little others. But then, they didn't seem to be miserable. Unlike her, they seemed happy, they had their extended family and...well. Their father was alive, just not around. Once or twice she had considered whether or not she should go and find him, tell him. But their encounter...there was something strange about it. She could not place a paw upon it but...no matter.
She was home. And her family was here. Why would she leave them for a male she'd met but once, no matter how much on an impact he had had upon her life? To be sure, the lightfurred lioness had caused more to happen to her, if she was a lioness and not a vision gifted by the spirits. The lightfurred lioness had led her to her true name. The lion with his talk of prophecies...well. He had given her cubs, as many males would be happy to do.
And what cubs he'd given her. She had never been happier than she was now, with her beloved family scattered about her. Three little daughters, one little son. Some of them looked a bit like she remembered him to be. Some of them looked a bit like her. A few of the markings, she imagined, would have fit upon her mother, or her father. The parents she'd never known might be living memories within her little ones. Such a strange, strange thought...
"Theluji?" she called softly, spotting her oldest daughter with a smile. Mud games again today? Or exploring the swamps? Making new friends? Janan'Daya watched her cubs closely to be sure, but would not cage them. Within the swamplands, it was safe. It had not been when she was young, but now... surely now it was safe. She would not stop her cubs from playing and learning and living. It wouldn't be right. "What are you up to today my love?" the lioness asked, happy always when the youngsters wanted to spend some time with her.
((Don't worry about the cert, I'm not bothered <3 ))

Theluji rubbed herself along mommy's soft fur. A comfort when everything was confusing her. "Mommy." She said in greeting. She was home here with mommy. All the adventures and the new cubs she met, Theluji always found mommy the best person to be with. She knew everything that was important. If mommy didn't know it, it was worth knowing in Theluji's opinion.
"Mommy boys are weird. Why?" She looked up at mommy, frowning. Her tail swished in the dirt in irritation. It was frustrating her, not understanding boys. When it was just Kosey, she got it. He was her brother, so there really wasn't any need to understand him beyond what she already did. Dege she kinda got, at least when she kept the notion of him seperate. It was Dugi that made the whole lot of them so-so odd.
"Is it their families? Kosey is the way he is because of us. Maybe Dege's family really likes mud? And Dugi said his mommy saw the future like him. Oh, I wasn't supposed to tell you that, Mommy. Promise not to tell!" She told mommy everything, so it kinda slipped out. It took Dugi awhile to admit it to her, and then he had dashed off. Theluji was sure he wanted her to keep it a secret, but this was mommy. Mommy could keep secrets. Mommy could do anything. She swished her tail across the ground faster than before and bit her lip.

...boys?
Janan'Daya blinked in surprise. It was a conversation she was aware ight come up sometime, but Theluji still seemed a little young...wasn't she? True, she herself had hardly been a normal child. She had possessed no interest in boys until...well. Even after she'd found herself with cubs she'd had very little interest in males. She'd been too busy getting back in touch with her old relationships, things she never should have neglected as she had for all that time. She'd just been too self-absorbed in misery and hurt to notice it.
"Hmm well..." the lioness thought, trying to determine the right answers to her daughter's questions. "I...suppose...that boys might find girls to be a bit weird too." That was a normal sort of thing at this age, wasn't it? Her eyes widened with surprise at her cub's next words. Saw the future?
"Does he now?" she mused, her own tail swishing briefly behind her as she turned thoughtful. Their father had claimed to know things outside of the realm of the present as well, though she'd never really explained this to anyone. She'd thought it might be a gift from the spirits...and she hadn't cared enough to wonder otherwise at the time. As if her having his cubs was truely a matter of grave importance. Well...they'd certainly been a blessing upon her life. "Don't worry love, I'll keep your secret," Janan'Daya assured her cub, moving to nuzzle her soothingly. "So what is it about boys that you find especially strange?" she asked, "Is it the mud? Or the boy who says he can see the future? Or is it something else?"

Theluji looked up at her mother with a frown. Did the boys think she was weird? She was different than all the boys she had meet so far. And she did act shy, because she was shy and Theluji knew it. It didn't matter to her that others thought that part weird about her so Theluji accepted that as well as the possibility that Dugi, Dege and maybe even that Ande thought she was weird. Maybe boys did think girls were weird. Kosey certainly did.
She curled up into mommy's side and thought about what was really weird about the boys. "It wasn't the Mud or Dege." Theluji shook her head and swooshed her tail. "He was more normal than Kosey. And he showed me how to build mounds out of mud." She thought about Dugi and Ande. "Dugi said he loved me and then ran away. I think that's weird. I love mommy and I don't runaway after." Theluji tilted her head up to stare at her mother, the frown deepening. And then there was Ande. She still couldn't quite figure him out. "And Ande acted weird. He even thought that the blue lizard, Mr. Azure could talk when I told him I followed Mr. Azure into the swamps for an adventure. And then he told me he was going to check out the fishing puddle that I'd found as if telling not to try and stop him. As if I could move the fishing puddle with all the fishies. Maybe Mama Bawa, but not me."
