The new danger in the land

[Adofo]

Tua: I found an old log. ANd I carved it with my claws. But....I'm sure if you took it up to her, she'd just throw it outside. I upset her. I upset the only one I'll ever love.....and now.....she'll probably never love me again.
Tua laid his hean on his paws.

Obviously taking Tua's words seriously, Siari picked the little statue in her mouth and ran back over to the adults. Marini looked at it and smiled before taking it from the cub and walking over to her mate. She lay down next to him without saying a word.

[Adofo]

Tua: YOu hate it.....don't you? .....you don't have to say it. You can go ahead and smash it or whatever you want to do with it.

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini rolled her eyes playfully. "I don't hate it, Tua."

[Adofo]

Tua: .....Right.....you just hate the one who made it.

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini sighed. Tua really needed to work on his self esteem. "I don't hate you either, you silly buffoon..." she said, licking his cheek.

[Adofo]

Shocked, he turned towards her.
Tua: You........you don't?!

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini giggled. "Of course not." Sheesh...

[Adofo]

Tua: Baby.....I am so sorry! I wasn't thinking straight! Losing you....is a worse punishment than death! I love you with all my heart and soul! .....I never meant to hurt you!

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini slowly stood up. "Come on, let's talk somewhere else." Picking up the statue, she left the den and began walking to the top of Pride Rock.
