Tafari let out a small chuckle. He couldn't help but try to picture Hasidi trying to look after a bunch of cubs. No, that probably wouldn't work too well. "Maybe for a bit," he said, moving next to his brother. He probably should go see if there was anything else for him to do around the lands. They could always use more for patrolling...
Mismatched eyes blinked at Hasidi's questions, completely missing his mutterings, "Of course we caught something," he said in mock shock that his brother would ask such a thing, "And you know quite well that you're not old enough to go on any hunts. They're not just fun and games. It's very dangerous," he added rather seriously. Hasidi was thinking of hunting already? They grow up so fast... Tafari frowned, glancing to the side, "Maybe when you're older."

"You won't call me Ta--??" he started, but quickly trailed off. A lot of the pride called him Taffy, and being him, he always corrected them thinking they just forgot his name. Well... Did that mean Hasidi did it on purpose? Tafari blinked, trying to piece together everything... He didn't get it... But still, he smiled lightly at his brother, "Sure, when you're older."
"Nephthys?" he asked, trying to look at his brother around his fluffy white mane. The wind kept blowing the darn thing into his line of sight... "I hope she isn't too much of a burden on mother. That's where you and I come in, got it? You should help mother whenever you see the chance to," he said with a nod. And Nephthys was only little, so she shouldn't be too hard on poor Tisha. She had enough to worry about. "I'm sure they would like to see you more too," Tafari grinned, lifting a paw to ruffle his kid brother's wannabe-mane.

Hasidi batted away Tafari's paws and looked over at him, sighing. "I met a cheetah a bit ago and spilled my soul to her, yeah it was really odd. But I think some of the things I told her I should tell you. Will you listen?" Hasidi didn't wait for a response, he started to spill his guts, " With the new one, Nephthys, I feel out of place, will mom still want me? Afterall, I'm not your blood. I mean I love you guys so much, and what if by having her, mom doesn't see a need for me. I know it's crazy."
Hasidi looked away, tears had started forming in the corner of his red eyes. He thought his alligations were stupid, so why did he feel that way? He knew Tisha loved him like a son. She hadn't given birth to him though, and that's something to think about, what if he did look like his mother, brother, and sister?
"it's stupid, nevermind. I'll go see her soon," his voice wavered and cracked as he spoke.

The older male placed his paws back in front of him as he raised his head to stare off at the land. A small grin stuck to his maw, not being able to help it. Hasidi was one interesting kid. And now he was talking about spilling his soul to a cheetah? Tafari blinked, trying to remember if he had actually met a cheetah himself. Probably not. He didn't know very many others, much less others outside the pride. Hasidi wanted to talk to him? Tafari opened his mouth to say 'sure' but was cut off.
He glanced over at his brother as he spoke. Blue and grey hues widened a bit as Hasidi looked away. He didn't really think that Tisha wouldn't want him any more, did he? "H-hey," Tafari said, a bit nervous about what to do, "Don't think that way. You're part of our family now. There's no way we would ever not want you. Especially mother. She found you and brought you here, right?" he questioned, not knowing if he was getting through to the younger male or not. "D-don't worry about stuff like that. It's okay," he mumbled, his cheeks flushing pink as he spoke. How was he supposed to know how to cheer someone up? It wasn't like he'd had many chances before.

"It was a stupid thought, I just feel awkward that's all," he rolled back over pretending to smile, "You're a good big brother, and I'm sure that you're right. I'll go see mom later, and tell her about my thoughts, is that wise?"
"Feeling guilty for not doing some work?" He teased playfully, knowing Tafari was probably stewing over something he COULD be doing. "Oh I have another question, but that one's more embarrassing, would you still answer questions about girls?"
Tafari WAS an adult by technical standards, and a male that Hasidi could confide in so maybe he'd answer some of those embarrassing questions that had been stirring around in his little brain. Hasidi blew up trying to push the wannabe mane form his eyes.

Tafari blinked at Hasidi, "Where do babies come from? What is sex?" he repeated, wanting to make sure he got the questions right. He frowned a little, having thought he would have been asked much more complicated questions. "Babies come from their mother," he said bluntly, not knowing what else to say on the subject, "The mother gets a really large belly to hold the baby until it is big enough to appear on its own." How babies suddenly appeared and why the mothers got so large, he had no idea. He wasn't exactly there when his sister was born... Much less when Hasidi was born. "I think it's because the baby's mother wanted the baby, so they just... appear." Yeah, he had no idea.
"Sex?" he asked, rather casually, "I'm not sure. I've never heard that before." He was sheltered... "Sorry, I'm not much help..." Well, at least it wasn't as bad as he thought it was going to be!
