Abioye smiled at the two boys "Hi." She said in a gentle tone. "Alright now first off I am Abioye, I hope one day you will call me mother but that is up to you." She said in a kind tone. She didn't want to push them since she didn't know what they had faced. Or if they had family somewhere. Something must have happened to their mother, she couldn't imagine they had been abandoned. They were such beautiful, healthy cubs. There was no reason she could imagine that a lion would willingly let them go. "Tell me your names, please."

Otieno looked at his brother first and then to Abioye and he nodded. "Perhaps, I remember our family. " He looked to his brother "Do you remember?" He asked to see what his brother remembered of their past. Their history was dark and sad. His older sister had left to find her own path as soon as she could. He didn't know where she was so had no way to tell Khalima of any lion who could take care of them. He wasn't sure his sister would anyway. If she even wanted cubs. He didn't blame her. Still he would take his time trusting this lioness. He was no fool.
