Another "cub" joins the pride!

[Adofo]

Adofo: ......Okay.

[Iri]

"Shall we go train your daughter?" Nala asked.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Sure!
By the end of the day, Adofo noticed his daughter was exhausted. He picked her up and carried her in his arms back to the den

(I did not want to have to do the boring training crap)

[Iri]

[I second that. Because that would have been dull and blech.]

Ekanem curled up once she was set down on the floor. "Good night, Daddy," she murmured.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Night, night, baby!
He gave her a quick kiss on the lips
Adofo: I love you!

[Iri]

Ekanem had already fallen asleep.
"Is she all right?" Myrrh asked, padding in. She was no longer a cub, but a young adult. She had been rather fond of Ekanem and was often overprotective of her.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Yeah...she's just tired.
Adofo took off his hoodie and draped it over his daughter.
Adofo: Sweet dreams, Daddy's little princess!

[Iri]

"Good." Myrrh curled up next to Ekanem. "You have a great daughter, you know."

[Adofo]

Adofo: I do not!!! .....I have the best daughter! Actually....two of them!

[Iri]

"And the best son," Myrrh said. But because his two older children were not youngsters anymore, she felt a certain protectiveness towards Ekanem.
