Nura smiled warmly at the male lion. "No problems" she responded softly; she gave Akina long lick on the cheek before beckoning to the den. "You heard Dakari. It'll be safe in there". Siri nuzzled her brother's leg, but both Siri and Akina weren't too keen in being cooped up in the den for ages.
However, they nodded and did as they were told; if it meant food, the cubs would probably do anything. Siri proposed a race. When they tumbled into the den, they both fought over who won.

Mjuvi watched as she stood. He finally found that it was her leg that was the problem, and he admired her pain threshold and her resilience. He began to navigate slowly through the area, checking behind him every now and again. He felt bad, not being able to help her. He had to at least ask. "Are you sure you don't want to lean on me or something?" he asked, sounding a little impatient. He still didn't even know her name, and he hadn't exactly introduced himself.
