[PRIVATE: DGFone & Thewhistlerify]

[DGFone]

Umeme spotted the den, and frowned. She was no longer able to deny the fact the Muroki had carried the kill all the way back. Without her help. Meaning that she had lost the bet. "No, you see, I don't think I'm going to lose," she said, "you see, I am also carrying some of the kill, so really, you needed my help." She wondered if he would accept that excuse or not, but still used it.

Moto also chuckled. "I don't have any regrets either," he told Fadhili. "Lina and Umeme are a gift for me, no matter how much trouble they sometimes got into." He thought about how Muroki and Umeme were now mates, and what that might mean. "You think we should stay close to the den?" He asked Fadhili, "so that we can be there for Umeme and Muroki if they ever need us for help."

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki held back a chuckle at what Umeme said first, becoming slightly confused at what she said afterwards. "What?" he looked at her, raising an eyebrow as he noticed that he was the only one with the kill on his back. "No you're not." he stopped and stared at her for a few moments, realising what she meant after a few seconds, "Oh, that?" he asked in disbelief. "You know what," he asked grinning, knowing that the den wasn't but a minute or two away from them, "Get on." he gestured towards the kill on his back, "Sit, or lie down, whatever makes you comfortable." he would extra prove himself if her carried the part Umeme ate plus her own weight.

Fadhili chuckled, "I still remember how they used to get into trouble. It was a daily part of their schedule." she said, chuckling once more. "You mean stay close to the den like right now?" she asked, a little confused, "Or..." she understood what he meant after a few moments. "Oh, I see..." there wasn't any reason for Muroki and Umeme to need there help, and there probably wouldn't be for a few months now. "I don't think they need our help with something in that regard yet..." she said with yet another chuckle.

[DGFone]

Umeme shook her head. "No, I'm not going to do that," she replied. But she knew that Muroki wouldn't let her get away with this, so she had to have a new winning condition for him. "Tell you what, now that you have that on your back," she said, "I will admit that I was wrong only, and only if, you can catch me before the den." She waited only long enough to see that he understood before taking off. "Bye." Not wanting to admit defeat, Umeme ran as fast as she could towards the den, Muroki hot on her heels.

Moto chuckled again. "No, I meant about the future," he said, "we can stay in the den for now. But when we leave again, what about locating someplace closer?" He nuzzled his mate again. "Because they don't really need our help now, and won't for the nearest while, but eventually they will."

[TheWhistlerify]

Dropping the carcass on the floor, Muroki took off after Umeme in full speed. He knew that she was only doing this because she thought that she lost, and even if he wouldn't be able to catch her in time he could always hold her down until she admitted her defeat, and maybe also add a few teasing sessions while he was at it. He continued running at her at full speed, not really caring about whether he would be able to catch her before reaching the den. Eventually he was close enough so he pounced at her, tackling them both and sending them rolling over as a result of how fast they were both running. Muroki put his legs around Umeme, not letting her go anywhere. "What do you have to say to yourself?"

Fadhili thought about it for a moment, "Sounds like a plan." it would allow them to continue traveling as they wished while still being in reach of their daughters, and she liked that idea. "I bet Lina and Umeme will really like that idea as well." she said, nuzzling her mate happily. She couldn't see any reason for their daughters to not like what Moto just suggested.

[DGFone]

Umeme glared playfully up at Muroki when he tackled her to the ground. "You dropped the kill," she pointed out. "Before you got back to the den. So technically that makes me the winner." She doubted that Muroki would let her win, not this easily, but she didn't want to admit defeat yet, not without a fight. Not to mention that she was interested at what Muroki would say on his behalf. "So you gonna let me up?" She teased, "After all, I won."

Moto nuzzled Fadhili back, glad that they reached the agreement. "I think all of us will like the idea," he corrected her though, "not just Lina and Umeme." He then got up and began walking again. "So why did we stop?" He asked, grinning, "What happened to our adventure?"

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki chuckled, "You can't expect me to catch you with a kill on my back." he looked at her with a grin telling that he wasn't letting her go anywhere until she admitted that she lost the bet. "Beside, you changed the bet's condition into me catching you before we reached the den, which I did." if she hadn't realized it yet from his expression, then his tone was also hinting the exact same thing. She wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon, and Muroki wouldn't mind lying there all day.

Fadhili smiled, "Yeah, I doubt Delano or Muroki will have a problem with that either." she said, returning her mate's nuzzle before getting up and following him. "I don't know why we stopped." she admitted, rather sheepishly, "But it's not that bad... Any time with you is an adventure." she said, giving him a fat lick across his muzzle to emphasize her point.

[DGFone]

Umeme grinned up at Muroki. "Alright, so I did change the conditions. And you did win." She tested Muroki's hold over her and saw that she wouldn't be able to run. "But I still won't say anything," she added defiantly. "Not until... ever." The bet now turned into a battle of wills, and Umeme had no intention of letting Muroki win again.

Moto blushed after Fadhili licked him. "Yeah, well, the adventure's going," he joked, walking away, but not before licking her back, "and I think you would prefer to go with the adventure than stay behind." He grinned. "So come and get it!"

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki grinned, "That's right, I did win." he listened to what she said next and chuckled with amusement. "Well then, let the waiting, begin." in his point of view, he already won. But if he had a chance of winning again, why not go for it? "Beside, this is a good opportunity to spend some time together..." with this, he looked back at his mate with amusement. "So, anything you want to talk about? We're gonna be here for a while..."

Fadhili giggled at the way Moto blushed. They both might be fully grown adults, but sometimes it was easy to imagine as if they were both young teens again who had just discovered their love for each other. "Alright, I'm right behind you." she said, catching up to him and, after giving him a short nuzzle, beginning to walk with him through the savannah.

[DGFone]

Umeme grinned back and Muroki. "I will win the wait," she answered, "because after the hunt, I wouldn't mind resting, and with you on top of me..." She closed her eyes, showing off how she wouldn't mind sleeping the wait until Muroki would give up and move away. "And you make it so comfy here," she muttered.

Opening her eyes slightly, Umeme saw at the edge of her vision Lina with Delano, still together and unknown to Umeme, still where Moto and Fadhili had left them. "Hey, look at them two," Umeme told Muroki, not being able to point because he was still pinning her. "They look so happy now."

Moto grinned as Fadhili took her spot next to him. "So what do you reckon we will find when we come back to the den today?" He asked. "Will Delano and Lina finally move or will they still be there?"

[TheWhistlerify]

Muroki couldn't help but grin rather proudly, "Yeah, I do have that talent of making you comfortable don't I?" he asked, leaning closer and kissing her. This didn't look like a bet anymore, but more like an opportunity to hold his dear mate close. He wouldn't mind staying there until tomorrow. He looked at Lina and Delano, who were still in their tight embrace. "Well, I'm glad to know that they've made up and all of that." he said, turning his gaze back to Umeme and kissing her again.

Fadhili chuckled, "You know, they just might be at the exact same spot and in the exact same position as we left them." she said, smiling at her mate, "But it's obviously nothing we have to worry about, so let's just enjoy ourselves shall we?"
