The new danger in the land

[Adofo]

Tua: Huh? ...Oh.....hey, beautiful!

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini appeared to be looking around a little wearily. "I... I thought I heard something..." It was already dark. Perhaps she'd just imagned things.

[Adofo]

Tua: Hey...it's okay! Your man will protect you!

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini managed a slight chuckle. Listening out, she couldn't hear anything unusual or smell it either. "Maybe I was just imagining things."

[Adofo]

Tua pulled her close.
Tua: It's okay. I've got you!

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini smiled. "Were you always this muscular?" she teased.

[Adofo]

Tua: Oh yeah! And I was born this good looking!

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini giggled. "I bet you were." she said. "It's a shame I wasn't there."

[Adofo]

Tua: Well then, you'd be the old one here! ....But I'm glad I'm your old one!

(Should we timeskip to when she tells Tua she's pregnant?)

(I was about to suggest the same thing)

About two weeks later, Simba and Tua were sitting outside the den and waiting for the hunting party to return. Marini had joined the other lionesses, saying she wanted to continue hunting for as long as she would be able to. Kiara herself was already unable to hunt.
