Fadhili tried to control her sobbing, but it was too hard. The one she loved was dead, and even if there was a chance of ever falling in love with another lion, she couldn't do it because this murderer was going to take other's life if she didn't become his mate. Her life were pretty much destroyed, and would never be the same again; She would never find a loving mate, and she would have to lie to her pride in order to keep them safe.
She slowly followed the lion back towards Marini and the cubs. Marini saw the worried expression on the adolescent lioness' face, but she didn't suspect it had to do anything with the male Fadhili came back with because she thought that Fadhili was worried about Kujasiri. Fadhili slowly said, "Yeah, but we couldn't find him." she said, making her sadness look like it was coming from her worries about Kujasiri and not from the young male.
Marini then let out a sigh. She didn't expect them to find Kujasiri, because the chances of finding him were low anyways, but still hearing the young lioness say it hurt somehow. She looekd at the young lion, completely forgetting that he had bullied her brother a few minutes ago, "Thank you for your help. But I'll have to ask..." Mufalfa was their leader after all, but remembering what had happened before Kujasiri dissapeared caused Marini to snort, "Of course you can stay." she didn't really care whether Mufalfa approved or not.
