[Open] The Unexpected Happens

[NightyByeSparrow]

Kovu finally stopped licking his mate's cheeks, and now simply looked admirably at her. He realized that Kiara really was making sense right now; with two fully grown lions to cuddle next to, his son might not freeze.

"You're probably right Hon. You can obviously come up with me and Tero of course. Problem is, I'm not all that familiar with the very top, so you could even lead the way fir me, huh?" Kovu gave his mate one last loving lick on the cheeks before he left the den to tell Tero what would to on.

"Allright, Tero, you're gonna go to the top of Pride Rock, but your mother's coming too, okay?" Kovu knew that whether Kiara was coming or not, Tero was thrilled to take a trip to the top today.

Tero saw his dad come out of the cave and ran up to him. "Daddy!" As Tero listened to Kovu's words, Tero grew a smile. "Okay! I'd love for mommy to come!" Then, Tero sat down and waited for his mother to come out. He loved both his parents, but had a special connection to Kovu. For no reason though.

Kiara smiled happily at her mate, unable to hold back a fit of giggles upon hearing his statement about not knowing his way around the top areas of their home. Trailing behind him as the future royal couple left the warmth of the main den, Kiara playfully berated her mate about his previous comment.

”Oh Love, you’ve been here for four seasons now and you still haven’t learned your way around Pride Rock? What am I going to do with you Silly.”

Hanging back momentarily as Kovu spoke to their son, Kiara waited for everything to be explained to the youngster, before the golden furred princess moved in, speaking in a motherly tone to Nero.

”Good morning my little Nero. How did you sleep Sweetie?”

Kiara knew that Nero and Kovu had formed a strong bond to one another, although she also knew that Nero loved her just as much as she loved him. He was their first cub after all and meant the world to her. Standing next to her beloved mate and precious cub, Kiara spoke up in an adventurous tone.

”So, shall we head up to the top now?”

As sarabi layed in the cold quiet den. Hungry, tired and unhappy she couldn't help but to over hear kovu and kiara conversate. She smiled at the fact remembering when mufasa took simba to the top of pride rock and showed him the whole kingdom. Getting up sarabi streched out flexing her claws and mouth open wide with a great yawn. Sarabi made her way to the chilling out doors looked to the sky and said "Mufasa" confused and bowed her head. "what has happened to us." Sarabi sighed of lonlyness and depression.

Tero saw his mom and his dad come out. "Mommy!" Tero ran up to Kiara. "Hi mommy!" Then, Tero hugged her. Then, he kissed her leg. "How was your sleep?" What dreams did you have? What kind of dreams were they? Any nightmares?" Tero loved to ask questions, it was his favorite passtime.

[NightyByeSparrow]

Kovu was once again watching Tero intently, but didn't chuckle this time when his son asked about nightmares. The young prince kept this to himself, and turned to face Tero and Kiara.

"Seems like we're all ready now to go to the top now. Remember, Tero, if you get cold, just feel free to snuggle to either me or your mother." Kovu gave his son an encouraging nuzzle.

Kovu motioned for the family to follow him around Pride Rock, before looking worriedly at Sarabi before he left her sight. He was looking around for an easy way to climb to the top, and it seemed like he soon found one.

"So, I think we can go up this way. Any questions, Tero?"

OOC: Sorry to block this up with OOC again, but could we try and get another perspective going? I know it's barely on the second page of the plot, but I'd really like something else to start up. ^^

[KiarasMate]

Smiling warmly at Nero, being used to his questioning nature, Kiara spoke in a motherly tone as she leaned down to give her son a loving nuzzle and soft lick over his cheek.

”I slept fine Nero Sweetie and I don’t think I had any dreams though.”

Looking up to her mate now, Kiara nodded as she fell in line next to him, leaving enough room for their little cub to meander in between the both of them as they walked.

[LilTiger]

Tero looked up at his mom with an angry look. "It's Tero mom, not Nero." Tero looked at his mother with a stern look. Tero was being called Nero all the time. And he didn't like it. But he forgot about that. "Well, what does it look like at the top?"Tero said as he responded to his father's question.

[KiarasMate]

Kiara frowned slightly as she replied in an apologetic voice.

"I'm sorry Tero. Mommy has just been really tired lately. Please forgive me Sweetie."

Leaning down to give her son a loving nuzzle to show that there were no hard feelings, Kiara returned her gaze back to her mate, waiting for their adventure to get underway.

[NightyByeSparrow]

Kovu tried to push the small disagreement off their minds. "We're all tired, Tero, with this weather." Quickly nuzzling his son, he looked up to the top of Pride Rock. "Let's go now, then."

The young lion placed one front paw on the majestic rock, then his whole body followed him, his claws out a bit so he wouldn't slip and fall or bump into Kiara and Tero. The climb got slightly more difficult as the rock became to be quite steep, but Kovu was sure he could manage it. Kovu stopped now in his tracks, waiting for his beautiful mate and energetic son could catch up.
