"Why? Are we related?" Alunta asked with all the innocence of a youngster. Kavuk had failed to share with his daughter any customs she should be aware of. It was likely he, himself, wasn't aware of any special customs. So the little cub could do nothing but wonder if she had family stationed within the pride. It would explain more to her why they were making their way towards it for days. Was it really the only place to find the blue lions to hide them?
Besides, if they were anything like this guy, they wouldn't be hiding very well at all. She still stood out like a sore thumb. His blue wasn't quite the same as hers. Prettier, actually, with the bits of white pattern splitting it up. Though he didn't have wings. If Alunta was proud of any part of her, it was the wing design on her back.
The blue cub cocked her head to one side when Brother Sata started to whistle. Or if not whistle, he sure uttered some strange sounds! She didn't know lions were capable of sounding like birds. Her tail swished back and forth, moving the dirt behind her to the sides.
"He....Looks like me. But dark where my fur is light. And with four light legs instead of my two." At this she raised a little on her hind legs to bat her front paws at him to emphasize her point before losing her balance. She landed in a sitting position, straightening her hind legs underneath her more comfortably. "And markings under his eyes. Right here." A paw was raised to her face, stretching the skin downwards from her own eyes.

The little cub's tail flicked back and forth as she listened, ears gone forwards at full attention. Though they had aimed for this pride from the start of their journey, nothing had been known about what to expect. At least nothing was told to Alunta about what to expect. All she knew was it was a pride mostly consisting of blue lions. That concept alone greatly interested her. What she was hearing about the close knit atmosphere of the place interested her, more. The life of a rogue was all she knew. While the freedom was nice, she enjoyed the close structure of a family more. Learning she was gaining a pridefull of new brothers and sisters was very appealing to the cub's ears.
The tail curled back around her hind legs as she watched the birds disappear into the sky, her dark eyes watching the ones that remained.
"I have a whole bunch of siblings, now?" she asked, the excitement quite clear in her voice and by the broad smile on her face.
It was short-lived as they were joined by a much more familiar male lion. Alunta's ears went back almost instantly in shame, her head drooping a little at the stern voice of her father.
"I'm sorry," she apologized quickly. "Staying still is hard with new things to see." Inching a little closer to her father on her butt, she glanced at the pride male with an almost apologetic look in her eyes. "I....Uh. Never got his name."

Kavuk stepped toward his daughter, "Remember as I've told you, you are not big enough quite yet for such a grand adventure." he teased the little one fondly. Kavuk gave his daughter a nuzzle before rubbing her head with his paw playfully. The turning his attention back to the other male and listened.
The blue male took note of the greeting it was unusual from what he'd heard before and it seemed very much a family greeting. Kavuk returned the greeting a bit stiffly, it would take a bit of getting used to, there would be so much to learn if they were welcomed into the pride. "We have Saagnar'Tarang," Kavuk confirmed we'd be honored to be accepted into the Iknimya pride if you'd have us." Kavuk shook his head at the mention of others "It's just us," he looked at the male with a hint of sadness.
"I apologize for the lack of introductions." the blue male shifted and stepped forward beside his daughter " I am Kavuk, and you've already met my daughter Alunta, I thank you for keeping her out of more trouble." he eyed his daughter fondly, she'd always been an adventurous one, most of the time it gave him a heart attack if she wasn't his his vision, after all she was her mother's favorite, but she was still his despite the argument he had with her mother. He had to protect her.

Looking back and forth between the two males as they spoke, Alunta's ears moved themselves forward, again, focused on the new male once more. The thought of customs intrigued her. One might think, with her adventurous streak, it would worry her. But adventure wasn't just in the physical. It was also in what you learned. The cub had always had an interest in learning about the prides near her and the other species that shared her world. She didn't always remember what she was told, but she listened and asked questions just the same.
Through her thoughts, the voice of her father broke through. Curling her tail closer to her body, she gave him a meek nod with a slightly saddened face to show she was sorry. It wasn't always on purpose. Her getting lost. It was just so difficult to sit still all the time. Such as if she woke up before him and didn't want to lay there to wait for him to get up. More times as not, she would wander around a bit.
Like now. Her concentration on being sad wasn't lasting very long. Pretty soon, she was looking back at Sata with curious and hopeful eyes.
"Are there many customs? What are they? Is everyone blue? Can everyone talk to birds?" Taking a deep breath, crossing her eyes, Alunta stopped, flicking the tip of her tail eagerly.

“Well met brother and welcome. Feel free to call me Sata. Most do.” Sata’s eyes dropped to the little cub. “It was no trouble. One of our warriors was bound to find her but the forest hides many dangers so it was a good thing she wasn't alone for too long. So no more running off on your own, alright?” Oh, the irony. It was good thing Sata was on his otherwise someone would certainly have snorted at his friendly warning as most pride members were aware of this particular heir’s tendency to disappear into the forest as a youth.
“Yes, there are many customs but you’ll learn them quickly, don’t worry. And most of us are blue or other cool colors in general. But there are a few exceptions.” At her last question though, Sata let out a heartily chuckle. “Anyone can talk to birds, little sister. The question is… will they listen?” He paused for a moment, smiling. Then he continued, taking a few steps forward. ”But it’s my job to know what they’re saying so I speak with them more than most, I suppose. Follow me, I’ll take you to your new home.”

“Alunta, Alunta!” called the large blue male had his former mate come and snatched her while she wandered off? How could he have been so careless? No that, there was so much to see she’d more likely wandered off to look while his back had been turned for only a moment “Alunta Daughter! Where have you gone!” the large blue male followed any sign he could of where she might have gone, the forest was so thick, and Alunta still light as she was left very small tracks.
