The females eyes lit up at the sight of her brother. "You are super brave! Just like dad." She gave a wide grin and rubbed up against him. "Don't worry, you're always gonna be my hero!"

The lioness stirred slightly as she felt something fluffy curl up next to her, her head rise to see the young cub, Tara, instead of chaos. She was confused for a few seconds but that soon turned into affection as she picked the Cubs head.

Nanook padded along and thought for s moment."I figure look ad we walk to the watering hole then dens. If the stampede was close enough for anyone else they may have rushed to the dens." He said. As they continued on the finally spotted Amara and Ajihad with what looked yo be s new lioness, probably a nomad. Ad they rnwred he could see she was very thin and had a wounded shoulder, scared as she pushed herself flat against the ground. His ears perked at the mention of Chaos finding out and noticed her motions."congratulations you two." He said and felt his face heat up slightly as it happened to make him consider the possibility of his own cubs which made him think of Astrid being that she was his interest."mm yes, you two are my friends and I want to get to know Astrid, I like her. I won't let her leave without me. Besides, I'm almost 3 and even though I'm not huge and string I'm agile and smart. I can pose enough of a threat to challenge Chaos, he's sure to want me out." He said as he sat down, tail flicking. He glanced over at the lioness and gave a goofy smile so she wasn't so intimidated by him.

At the males boastful words, the young cub stuck her tongue out. “Cheerleader? Yeah right! I’m gonna be your queen.” She bent down and playfully tackled Jaytone with a large grin.

Rage, that’s all the lioness felt while watching her own daughter choose Indigo over her. Nagasi snarled but quickly calmed herself, she loved Tara and would tolerate Indigo as long as Tara held a liking for the dominant. Her gaze softened as she padded into the rulers den, careful not to wake the pair. Nagasi gently tapped Tara, whispering into her ear. “If you feel well rested we can go hunting.” She spoke with a soft smile before moving back outside, waiting for her cub to join her.

The male nodded and thankfully took the rabbit. He ate it with ferocity, digging into the much needed meat. “I haven’t eaten in days!” He remarked.

Tara slowly opened her eyes and looked at Nagasi. She was too tired to try to hunt and ended up closing her eyes again. Before she could try to say anything, she was asleep once more.

Amara/ Chaos Pride

Amara looked at Nanook. "Thank you" she said when he mentioned the congratulations. She saw him trying to help keep the nomad calm, but she just kept flattening herself farther and farther into the ground. "Some lions as long as they keep scaring the younger ones don't get challenged for a while."

Chaos returned to the den and found Indigo was awake. He was relieved, because he needed to talk to her. "Indigo. Two things. One Amara is pregnant. She probably has Ajihad's cubs. Second there is a beaten, hungry, frightened nomad lioness that has been found on her territory. I don't know what to do with either of them," he spewed.

Siku/Age:5/Rank:Karaz Pride, lion 2

Siku held back a snarl at the cub. Of course it was his fault! He literally pounced at the full grown zebra! With disgust, he watched how Jaytone showed off to Kesi with his "bravery". Hopefully Naita or Karaz will scold him somehow.

He limped heavily to where Ukuta, Kenya and Khaleesi were. He couldn't hold back his wincing. His paw has worsened. Something was wrong with it now. He doesn't even step on it, and yet there is pain throbbing in the paw. With a sigh he lied down between Kenya and Ukuta. Will he be able to hut still? Or will Karaz ban him from the pride as he is not able to hunt anymore?
