Another Private RP with Adofo/Iri

[Iri]

"Hey," Nuru chimed in, "I'm not sure I want to be adopted, but I'd like to get to trust you." She shuffled her paws and flicked her tail shyly, her ears still folded back against her head. Were there any other cubs, she wondered? There hadn't been many cubs in her pride, except for Zahra, who had grown to dislike her for her beliefs, and Tarishi, who had never paid much attention to anyone.

[Adofo]

Enzi: Well.......I suppose if you would like to get to know Chaltuu and Hamadou more......then you can come stay with us!
Hamadou remained quiet and expressionless

[Iri]

Chaltuu critically scrutinized the little child, her lip curled, but finally breathed a hefty huff. "Fine," she said exasperatedly. She supposed if she got to know the small white cub at least a little better, maybe, just maybe, she'd be able to grow to like her, at least a little bit. It was wrong to judge on first glance, anyhow- and Chaltuu knew far too well how that really felt.

[Adofo]

They all started their walk back home. Hamadou stayed a few steps away from his mate, not saying a word and just looking at the ground the entire way back

[Iri]

"What's with you this time?" Chaltuu sighed exasperatedly, and though she sounded brusque, she wasn't as terse or harsh as before. "I swear, I've lost count of how many times you've given me the silent treatment."

[Adofo]

Hamadou: I only give you the silent treatment because everytime I open my mouth to try to make a nice suggestion...I make you mad. I don't like upsetting you.

[Iri]

"All I was saying was that you were assuming she wanted to be adopted," Chaltuu said in her defense, "without her really saying so, is all. I'm not mad, okay? Not every time I disagree with you, I'm 'mad' at you."

[Adofo]

Hamadou: I said she maybe wanted to be adopted. You always take what I say as me wanting to force it to happen.

[Iri]

Chaltuu sighed. "Look, I'm sorry, all right? I may be temperamental, but I'm tired of every single day getting the silent treatment."

[Adofo]

Hamadou: ...Okay. ...I'm sorry too, baby!
