[PRIVATE] Taming the Lioness's Heart

[VitanisMate]

Mzuri started to come to seeing that she was in Kujasuri's jaw. "Uhhhhh...where am I?"

===

Kujasuri looked at her and said, "You are in the Outlands and I am taking you back to Adeola so that she will not miss you." Mzuri looked and said, "I ran away. I do not want to go back there." Kujasuri looked shocked and said, "Well uh you cannot survive on your own out here since you are just a cub." Mzuri rolled her eyes and said, "I have survived months on my own. I do not need Adeola to 'protect me' or to watch over me." Kujasuri was in a bind however he eventually said, "You can tell Adeola about this when you get there." Mzuri was fascinated about being a loner like Kujasuri.

Kamy just stay close to Adeola as the other lions and lioness were walking to them, then Kamy ask to her "Are they going to help us to get food?", but Kamy knew that if it was meat, she couldn't eat it, so Kamy tell her "but still I have to drink milk"

@Nakisisa: "I won't be two for a few months" she wailed. "Please don't leave me" she cried, putting her face in his chest.

Adeola watched for a while as her sister was acting just like the cub she was, and sighed out, and put her head back down on her paws.
===========================
@SilverSimba01: "Good morning, Adeola" Tendai greeted. Adeola looked at him and then away and at Kamy, "good morning, father" she bitterly replied.

"Does Kamy need some milk?" Zuri asked.

Adeola nodded, and Zuri went on her side to let the child drink.

[VitanisMate]

Kujasuri kept the cub behind him and went to get Adeola. Knowing her foul mood she would not be glad to see him. "Hey Your Highnessness look who I found." He shoved Mzuri from behind him and let them have a moment. He then started to walk away looking forward to a blessing coming soon.

===

Mzuri cursed knowing she would go back here. "Adeola while I am glad to see you I wish to be a loner like Kujasuri if that is not any trouble."

[SilverSimba01]

Kamy lay down and started to drink the milk with calm, while she was drinking, Kmay though why Adeola had milk, then she just go back to keep drinking the milk

[Nakisisa]

"shhhhh" Naki calmed "Im still a pridelander, I'll be back I prommise" hebsail as he started to purr to calm her. "I prommise"

@Nakisisa: Malaika's eyes closed and she arched her head to look at the ground. She then opened them and looked over to her sister, "why are you so quiet?". Adeola looked from the stars to her sister's sudden change of attitude. The youngest lioness got to her feet and turned around to look at her older sister, "you're not the least bit upset that he's leaving?"

Adeola looked at Naki and then back at her sister. What was she talking about? Why would she be upset about him leaving? One, she didn't have 'feelings' like her sister did for Naki, and two, she was leaving with him. She was old enough to make her own decisions as a young adult as compared to her who was going to be two in a few months. She kept silent. "Can't you make him stay?" Malaika walked over to her sister with the same look in her eyes she gave Naki.

"I don't control what he does. The only one I can control is myself". Adeola's face was expressionless and she was firm with her words, letting her sister know that her act wasn't going to fool the one who taught her the act in the first place.

"You don't care that my heart is breaking?". The older sister stayed silent once more. She loved Malaika beyond all reason and she wanted her sister to have a good life, but her sister got on her nerves sometimes with the fact that she was always the sibling who got what she wanted. Now, she was just learning how it felt to be like the others, including Adeola.

"Of course I care. But you have to learn sooner or later that you have to make life work with what life throws at you". The sisters looked at each other for a long period of time before Malaika turned her head back to Naki and walked over to him. She gazed up into his ruby hues and nuzzled her head under his chin, licking his neck.

"I'll miss you, Naki. Please come back for me some day". Adeola turned her head away from them once more and tried her best to ignore them and give them some time. She wasn't quite sure what Naki's feelings were towards Malaika, but she was sure that he would be a nice enough lion to let her know he was her friend.
=============================
@VitanisMate: Adeola looked from where the male walked off and then back down at the cub. What she said, it drew the line in her mind. She got to her fours, "actually Mzuri, I wanted to apologize". The lioness walked past the cub slowly, "I'm sorry for letting this pride care about you, and I'm sorry I put so much effort in to keep you safe. I should really have asked you first before I attempted to be a decent lioness, but I can see I failed miserably. I tried to be a mother that loved you and wanted to see a brighter future for you when you saw everything as dark". She looked back at the cub, her face not showing anything, but her eyes were miserable, "so, walk the path you wish to walk. Whatever it is, I hope you find happiness" she gave a smile and walked off, out to the fields, leaving the cub behind to make her own decision.

If Mzuri wanted to be an adult, she was able to have that choice. Regardless of Adeola's love for the child.
=============================
@SilverSimba01: Tendai looked from the weaning cub over to his oldest daughter. "Adeola, something you're not telling me about the cub?". Adeola looked up at her father and gave him a narrowed look. She knew what he was getting at.

"She didn't have a family, so I'm looking after her". Once it was said, she saw the relief on his face and she rolled her eyes. He thought she would get pregnant without having a proper, devoted mate by her side as the father? She thought he had more faith in his eldest daughter's ability to pick 'em.

"Well...I'm proud of you". Her hazel hues looked into his matching ones, and she looked away.

"Thank you". Her voice couldn't have been more bitter, and he obviously caught it because he sighed out and looked away from her and back down to Zuri.

[VitanisMate]

Mzuri looked at Adeola just shocked at what she said. "But Adeola it has nothing to do with that. All I am asking is do you think I can move on now?" She looked ahead and said to her, "Although I said I wanted to be a loner I meant that is it alright if I go off with Kujasuri?" Mzuri knew Adeola would take great concern with this question. She looked ahead trying to show her confidence in her decision. She tried to tell Adeola, "Look don't be concerned I will be fine." She went up and tried to hug Adeola to show her appreciation for all of her love and protection. "Don't worry one day when I am older I will return maybe having a mate of my own someday." She smiled and told her, "My past was this. I was abandoned by my mother and my father gave me the wounds you see now I just wanted to let you know before I left."

===

Kujasuri felt like he swallowed a lemon. "Go with me? Kid I dunno if that is such a good idea!"

[SilverSimba01]

After Kamy finish drinking the milk, she just stood up, and goes to Adeola, then Kamy ask her "are you going to eat something?", she ask her the way as a curious child will do

[Nakisisa]

Naki looked towards Adeola, trying to catch her eyes, he wanted to know what she would do about what he was going to say, he was about to speak, when he felt the lick at his neck, he blushed deeply, it had been many a moon since that last happenned, but after he stopped blushing he broke away from her, noticing the saddness in Mala's eyes his voice became even more persuasive, "Mal, look at me" he said, "I promise, with all my heart, that I will return once more before your 2nd birthday, and again on the day you turn two..." he said looking into her eyes "...Then you can make your own decissions, Live your own life" he said "When you can choose, I will be there waiting for you if you want to come" he almost finished "I Prommise"
