The new danger in the land

[Adofo]

Nuru: .....you hate me.....I'm sorry cousin Kopa! I didn't want you to hate me!

Tua: You tell me!

[TheWhistlerify]

"No, no, I don't hate you." said Kopa reassuringly. "I just want you to know that it's important to not let your emotions get the better of you in such a way. It's a sign that you're starting to grow up and it might be difficult and confusing, but keep that in mind."

Marini grinned teasingly, running her paws down her mate's side. "Well... I suppose that's entirely up to you."

[Adofo]

Nuru: But....I think I love her...

Tua: then come here cutie pie!
He pulled her in for a deep kiss

"And that's wonderful." said Kopa with a smile. "Believe me, I'm thrilled to hear that. But what you did was wrong because you did it without Siari's permission." It was a little difficult to explain that to a cub so young. "Do you understand the difference?"

Marini allowed Tua to pull her closer.

[Adofo]

Nuru: Yeah.....but what if she won't ever feel the same?

[TheWhistlerify]

"I can't answer that." said Kopa as he poked the little cub with his nose and settled his head on the ground. "That's entirely up to her."

[Adofo]

Nuru: When did you and Vitani fall in love?

[TheWhistlerify]

(Ugh, you're going to go down that road again, aren't you?)

Kopa smiled. "It was only when I came back that I found out that she's been in love with me since we were cubs." he said. "So what you're feeling is perfectly normal."

[Adofo]

(Nah. Just a quick question)

Nuru: Really? Well....okay

[TheWhistlerify]

Kopa chuckled. "You're cute. Did I ever tell you that?" he asked, gently ruffling the cub's head with a paw.
