[PRIVATE: DGFone & Thewhistlerify]

Kasi's mother soon returned carrying some food for Delano and Muroki. She looked at the two sleeping young adults and then at her son, "You don't have to stay here all day. I'll be there in case they need anything." she put her kill down beside the two quietly and turned back to her son, knowing that he could get bored quickly, "Go on, they'll be fine." she was touched however by how he seemed to care about his cousins.

[DGFone]

Kasi nodded gratefully. Because truth be told, he was getting bored. "Thanks, mom!" He said. "I'll be back before nightfall!" He ran off, eager to get moving again. Maybe he can find his father when he will return and they can come back together.

(( I'm trying to bring all the characters in in case you haven't noticed. Unless you don't want the remaining two to come in yet? ))

Laini went ahead and lay down inside the den in case the two woke up and so that no other pride member would eat from the beast she hunted for them. She still had a hard time believing that her sister was dead.

[DGFone]

((that's why I was going to bring Kisa back with his father))

Even though Kisa planned to spend some time with his friends before returning, those plans were cut short when he ran across his dad, Dakari, who was dragging back some more prey. "Hey dad!" Kasi shouted and ran over. "Need any help?" Before Dakari can answer, Kasi picked up the other end of the prey and together, the two of them were able to get back to the den quicker.

They dropped off the prey next to the other one and went inside the den. "Hey mom!" Kasi called out, but not too loudly as to awake his cousins. "How are you doing?"

[TheWhistlerify]

Dakari smiled as his son came over and helped him drag the prey back. He was surprised to find his mate's nephews in the den when they arrive, and even more surprised when Laini told him everything that has happened. She looked at her son, "I'm fine."

[DGFone]

Kasi looked over at Delano and Muroki. The sleeping lions were oblivious to their presence in the den, getting some much needed rest. "So what are we going to do with them?" He asked. "They have nowhere else to go, so perhaps... they can stay here?" He suggested.

[TheWhistlerify]

Laini looked at her son, "Well, we're they're only family, that's why they came here." she was quiet for a moment, having already told the two that they could stay for as long as they wanted "Of course they can stay here." it looked like Kasi was more than just eager to get to know his cousins better. "I don't think they'll be waking up any time soon, you don't have to stay here."

[DGFone]

Kasi looked at the two brothers. "No, I'll stay," he said. "I want to be here when they wake up." He could only begin to imagine what they've been through. "They've been through a lot," he finally said, "I mean, just look at them." He was referring to the ragged and dirty look that Delano and Muroki had on them.

[TheWhistlerify]

Laini said, "Okay, but if you change your mind, you don't have to stay." who knew when the two would wake up. "The important thing is that they're safe. What they've been through doesn't matter now." that was something she hoped the two brothers would understand one day. If they kept thinking about the tragedy they've been through it would do them no good.

[DGFone]

Kasi didn't understand. "But what if it does matter?" He asked. "They told me that their parents were murdered... What if their next. They simply can't run for all their lives." He sighed. "They didn't tell me much else, so I guess that we'll have to wait for them to wake up, but it doesn't feel right." He said. "At least, not for me."
