The handsome male glanced back at Pandora and gave a sweet smile. "You know, I do enjoy your company." He spoke gently, with no hints of flirting or sarcasm in his tone.

Pandora looked at Mansa as he spoke. "Well, it is nice not to be lonely. Being lonely is BORING" she joked. Pandora padded along him, turning her head side from side, looking.

Nyasi/Age:4 months/Rank:Chaos Pride, cub/Mentions:Chaos, Ivy

Nyasi smiled at Chaos.

'Woah, thanks!', he said, remembering that his mum told him that usually the dominant lions eat first. He bounded towards his mother.

'Mum, let's go and eat!', he said, pushing her with his front paws.

Ivy yawned and smiled down at him.

'I am not hungry, don't worry she said, but Nyasi knew she was lying. He faked a sad look.

'I don't want to go alone', he whined and pressed his ears to his head. Ivy chuckled and licked him on his head.

'Fine, I'll come. But I won't eat'. She stood up, her rough brown fur glinting faintly from the sun. 'Let's go'.

Both of them padded towards the food pile where all the cubs have gathered around.

Tara started to wake up and looked towards the food. She started to grow hungry, but didnt want to have the others wait for her to eat. She was a stubborn cub sometimes when it came to food. Her golden eyes looked at Nagasi before she nuzzled her mother and looked around at the others.

Mansa chuckled and narrowed his eyes as he noticed a surprisingly large cave in the distance. "Beat you there?" He asked with a sly smile before running off towards the structure.

The lioness sighed willfully and nuzzled her cub. "Go on and eat, love. Don't be picky." She said with the typical 'knowing' mother look. She sighed and looked at the male lions in the pride, she felt so lonely seeing everyone around her happy with someone else. Nagasi looked away, missing Tara's father, sometimes it felt as if she would never be loved again.

Tara nodded to Nagasi before she slowly walked over to the food. She ate a little bit before she looked at her torn claw. It was starting to hurt again and she started licking it, causing it to bleed.

Pandora watched as he ran for a split second, then went chasing after him with a burst of speed. He had gotten quite a headstart, and she had low stamina. By the time she had made it their, Mansa was already at the cave. "I would have cought you if it weren't for that headstart" she joked.

Indigo

The lioness began to maje her way back to the watering hole after blowing off some steam. A sigh escaped her lips. She shouldn't have responded like that. She needed to stop acting weak because of it. She was a warrior not.. Not a pretty little princess. A small growl escaped her lips as the others came into distance. Her broke her, that she was reminded of her curse. She was blessed with strength greater than a normal lioness but in return had a low chance of becoming a mother.

Astrid gestured to Nanook, "Let's go for the walk. Where do you want to walk?" She wondered if she was being to forward to ask Nanook to join them. Soon they were out of hearing range of the lions around the watering hole. "Nanook. You can't tell anyone what I'm going to tell you. Ajihad, Amara and I are leaving. I want to go with my sister, and they are worried about Ajihad being kicked out since he is a young lion. They are letting me invite you to come along." She paused trying to gather her thoughts, "I know we aren't very close, but I wanted you to know that you are welcome to come along. Just letting you know, I think Ajihad plans to be the dominant lion," she finished.
