Attack of Zuberi

[Adofo]

Adofo: How about we have a big party! With a huge feast! After all, since Zahra and Sanaa there hasn't been any more healers being trained. And.......well since she came I'd say close to death with her old sleeping habit, she beat death away. What do you say?

[Iri]

Gonai: Sounds great! And I noticed that she doesn't sleep so much any more. As a matter of fact, she's starting to LOSE sleep because she's staying up late reciting herbs and their uses!

[Adofo]

Simba: Yeah! You two must be so proud!
Adofo: We sure are!

[Iri]

Hondo: I am too.
Adofo: Speaking of which, you never visit your cubs or your mate.
Hondo: Sorry, I'm just busy.
Adofo: Are you too busy to make time to visit your family?
Hondo: Er...

[Adofo]

Adofo: What's your excuse?!
Hondo: Listen can I talk to you for a sec? Please!
Adofo: ......fine.
The two go a ways away to talk.
Adofo: What is it?
Hondo: Listen the reason I haven't been around lately is.......I have a surprise for her! It's so big and it's taken a LOT of time! Can you please not tell her?! It's for her 10th birthday! It's almost done. And her birthday is next week. I really want to surprise her. Please Adofo can you not tell?!
Adofo: Alright, I won't tell. And Hondo......call me Dad.
Hondo: Okay....Dad.

[Iri]

[Is the surprise for Gonai or for Arida?]
*They head back*
Arida: Hi, Dad!
Hondo: Hey, Arida! I'm so proud that you're becoming an Osain! Can you recite a few of the herb uses?
Arida: Sure. Thyme is to soothe anxiety or nervousness. Juniper and mallow are both used for bellyache. If a lion has ingested something harmful or poisonous, yarrow can be used so they regurgitate it. Willow bark eases pain. Tormentil is for soothing pain and extracting poison, and sweet-sedge eases infections.
Hondo: You're doing very well!

[Adofo]

(Gonai.)
Adofo: We are all really proud of you Arida!
Arida: Thanks Grandpa! Tomorrow night my training will officially be complete!

[Iri]

Adofo: Soon we'll have three talented Osains in our pride!
Zahra: Arida! Come help us sort the herbs!
Arida: Coming!
Hondo: I was hoping for her to become a huntress. But eh, she can do what she desires.

[Adofo]

Adofo: You should be proud of her. Besides, we need a young healer. It never hurts.
Hondo: I guess you're right. And I am proud!
Adofo: And it's not like she WON'T hunt. She still will for fun.

[Iri]

*A few hours later*
Arida:
Gonai: *Purrs* Don't tell you hat you've gotten on your old sleeping habit again!
Arida: No, I'm not, I'm exhausted. I've been sorting and reciting herbs all day.
Gonai: You know I'm only teasing you. It is late. Mind if I sleep next to you?
Arida: Do what you want.
