Simba gave Gumu a respectful nod in response to the beige maned lion's polite bow, speaking in a casual tone now as the presence of danger had all but vanished from the king's mind.
"I'm glad you have agreed to my terms Gumu and I will do whatever I can to make your stay here in The Pride Lands as comfortable and as welcoming as possible. Please, follow me and I will show you to your new den. I'll give you a quick run down of our Pride Members as well as the rules along the way."
Simba slowly turned around and started to retrace his steps back towards Pride Rock, looking back momentarily to make sure that the golden brown furred lion was trailing him before he spoke once more.
"Well, as you already know, I am Simba, king of these lands. My mate is a beautiful creamed colored lioness named Nala. She's vary sweet and caring. I'm sure you'll get along with her nicely. I honestly haven't met a creature to date that hasn't." Simba stated, letting a lighthearted chuckle leave his muzzle as he resumed speaking. "We have one cub, my daughter Kiara. She has golden fur and a smile that just makes you melt in your tracks. She is spoken for though Gumu, as her mate is also in our Pride. His name is Kovu and he's an ex-Outlander, so I'm sure you'll spot him with no troubles, that is, if you are familiar with The Outlanders at all. His sister Vitani is also a steady member in my pride. She's open to you, although she can be a bit much to handle. She's got the Outlanders spirit and personality to its fullest but if you're into that sort of thing, than you might find her to your likings. Then, we have Mila, a young lioness. At first glance, you might mistake her for being my daughter, but she's not, although my mate and I have raised her since she was a cub, so I view her as my daughter even if it isn't so. She's very feisty and lovable but just don't bring up the subject about her parents around her. It's not a pretty picture Gumu. There's a young cub named Amanda, who is really adventurous and I'm sure you'll stumble across her every now and then, probably literally since she loves to play around with everyone in the pride. Lastly, there are a few new members to our pride, much like yourself Gumu, although I don't know enough information about either of them to give you much detail about them and their personalities, but I'm sure you'll get a chance to mingle with everyone from my pride in due time. I'm just trying to give you a bit of insight into who they all are before you meet them for yourself. I find that it helps ease the tension of first encounters, but that's just me."
Simba paused for a moment, allowing Gumu to absorb all that he had told him, keeping his pace timed with the beige maned lion as not to get too far ahead of him. Once the king figured that Gumu had understood everything he told him, Simba continued to speak.
"As for the laws of my lands, they are pretty self explanitory. Treat your fellow pride members with the utmost respect, don't cause any trouble with any of your fellow pride members, pull your weight within the pride at all times, regardless what is asked of you and of course, my word is final around here.It's pretty much that simple Gumu. As long as you abide by those rules, you'll be just fine. Do you have any questions for me at this time?" Simba inquired as he spotted Vitani and Daxis, who seemed to be sitting together in the grass just ahead of him.
Meeting with Vitani's gaze for a second, Simba merely gave her a nod as to assure her that everything was okay, despite the strange lion following him. Unsure of how Daxis might react towards this new lion, Simba decided it best to avoid the two felines for the time being, wanting to get Gumu situated within his new den as soon as possible.
