The new danger in the land

[Adofo]

Vitani: Keep whining and I'll make you wear it for a month!

Tua: I'm sorry. I only want you to be happy. With me or not. Your happiness means everything to me!

[TheWhistlerify]

Kopa shrugged his shoulders. "You can't do that."

"Thank you, Tua." said Marini quietly. "But that's still not very pleasant to talk about..."

[Adofo]

Vitani: Try me.

Tua: I'm sorry, honey. I'm still fighting this thing. But...I'll stop talking

[TheWhistlerify]

"Oh, I will." said Kopa. He then looked at the three cubs with a smile. "For the time being, may I talk to you alone for a moment, Nuru?"

"It's as peaceful as always here." said Marini with a smile. "Try to relax."

[Adofo]

Niru: Sure.

Tua: Okay. And baby...I'm sorry for all the times I've upset you.....I didn't mean too...

[TheWhistlerify]

Kopa walked aside with Nuru before lying down (with some effort). "Siari told me about what happened earlier." he said, gesturing for the cub to sit down between his paws.

Marini let out a sigh of content as she huddled more closely to Tua. "That's alright..." she grabbed one of his paws with her own, purring as she did.

[Adofo]

Nuru laid down in his cousins paws.
Nuru: yeah.....I just.....I don't know what came over me!

Tua: I love you, cuddle bug!

[TheWhistlerify]

"Is that so?" asked Kopa quietly.

Marini giggled. "I love you too, snuggle bear!"

[Adofo]

Nuru: Yeah...

Tua: Hehehe...you think we need another celebration?

[TheWhistlerify]

"You see, Nuru..." said Kopa, "I understand that it can be difficult to control your emotions, but I want you to know that it doesn't justify what you did without permission." He didn't sound angry with the cub. "I'd like you to keep that in mind in the future. Losing control of yourself can have severe conseauences." Sure, it was just a harmless kiss at the end of the day and they were just cubs, but, if they were older, the way Nuru got carried away by the heat of the moment or whatever it was could have lead to something far worse. The Prince was a male as well; he was more than aware of that.

"Do we?" asked Marini with a smile.
