The new danger in the land

[Adofo]

Vitani: Do you.....want to split a pedal?

[TheWhistlerify]

"Yeah!" exclaimed Siari. "You have to."
"Her father smiled a weak smile. "Alright..."

[Adofo]

Vitani plucked a pedal with her teeth and held the other up with her mouth for Kopa to bite off.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kopa slowly brought his head closer and bit off a part of the petal, keeping his eyes fixed om Vitani's as he did.

[Adofo]

Vitani swallowed her piece as they kept eye contact.
Vitani: I love you!

[TheWhistlerify]

Kopa also swallowed his piece. "I love you too..."
"Yay!" Siari giggled, settling down against her father's mane again.
Just then, one of the lionesses came back with some water. She placed the empty fruit shell next to Kopa. "Thank you..." he said hoarsely as he started to drink slowly.

[Adofo]

Vitani then jumped a little.
Vitani: ....I felt a kick! Their first kick!
She laid down close so Kopa and Siari could rub her tummy.
Vitani: Feel! Quick!

[TheWhistlerify]

A small smile appeared on Kopa's muzzle as he gently placed a paw on his mate's stomach. "Why are they kicking, mommy?" asked Siari. "Do they hate you?"
"No, sweetheart." said Kopa as he held his daughter close to his chest with his other paw. It was one of his hind legs that was injured. "It just means they're healthy."

[Adofo]

Vitani: You feel them?

[TheWhistlerify]

Kopa nodded. "I do."
