Shani trotted over to Khaleesi and Aria. She caught the last part of their conversation. "Hey! I don't mean to interupt you two, but I think introductions would be fun and a great idea. My name's Shani, I am the one that the leaders found staying here. Who are you two?" Shani could hardly keep her excitement to herself. Her tail twitched and her eyes shone like two pieces of glass.

Aria looked at the new Lioness. "I'm Aria. One of the dominant females" she replied as Amara raised her eyebrow almost seeing the new lioness that walked up. She glanced at Ajihad before she looked at Shani aga.

"Oh, so like should I bow or something. I'm sorry if I offend anyone. I was just raised by my mom who was also a nomad. I don't really know how to treat other pride members, but I am a quick learner and would love to do something helpful for the pride...err...prides, however you guys put it. I'm sorry...again...when I am excited I tend to talk alot. My mom said she could never get me to shut up." Shani practically did a little dance in place.

Khaleesi smiled and nodded, "My name is Khaleesi. I was Karaz Pride's dominant, but I stepped down when Siku took over. I was the only one who was able to put up with him." She looked at Aria skeptically, because she was a little put off by Shani's friendliness. "What do you think of the pride so far?" she said something to start a conversation.

"I don't really know, I haven't talked to anyone but the males. Aslan seems super nice! Do you know anything about him?" Shani ducked her head to Aria and smiled at Khaleesi.

Amara shook her head. "No need to bow. Just simple respect is enough for us" she said as Aria nodded. "Most of the time we just ask that when another walks up, it's respectful of there is already a conversation going, much like any other lions" Amara continued.

Aslan looked around the pride. He felt, relieved, almost that they merged without issue, without a fight. He shook out his mane before he walked out of the cave. He was growing hungry and remember where he could find at least something for the Cubs. He knew the dominant would want to eat, but he wasn't sure who was dominant anymore. He didn't know that Aria, Amara, Siku and Ajihad were all dominants together.

Khaleesi shot a glance between Shani and Aslan. She felt an unfamiliar pang of feeling shoot up through her, but she ignored it. "He is one of my closer friends. We both left the pride because of Karaz, and we lived with Ajihad's pride for a time. I returned to my pride, when Ajihad returned to Chaos'. I thought Aslan was dead." She smiled at Shani, "You should be fine. Just don't be particularly rude."

"Okay, I can do that!" Totally forgetting the reason why she had gone over to Khaleesi and Aria, Shani bounded out of the cave after Aslan. Not watching where she was going, she ran right into him so hard it sat her back on her haunches. She shook her head dazed.

Amara watched Shani take off before she shook her head. "Well, hopefully the night goes well. Do we want to have a few take turns watching the cave through the night" she asked as Aria nodded. "That might be a good idea" she said as she looked at the others. "What do you think?"

Aslan winced when he was bumped into and gave a small warning growl when he hadn't recognized the scent right away. His side strung when he had been hit. It was still sore from the hyena attack not long ago. He stumbled a bit before he saw Shani. "You might want to watch where you are going" he said, not being harsh.

Khaleesi could feel a bit of anger as Shani dashed off without another word. She seemed young and scatterbrained. She heard a dull clunk as she exited the cave. Khaleesi was curious what she had run into, but she didn't feel like investigating. She decided that sleep was more important, and she didn't feel like she should leave Delilah here alone. She curled up and soon fell asleep.
