[Open] A New Pride

[Queen Elsa]

Vitani had awaken and already walked up to Hakara and the new lioness. She agreed with everything Hakara was saying. "Yes. All the poor cub does is chase butterflies and look at clouds all the time." she replied. "Oh, my name's Vitani by the way. If you want to go meet the king and queen, I could show you the way."

[LeopardessGracie]

Safi smiled at Vitani, she could see she was a mother, she had that look in her eyes,
"Hello Vitani, I'm Safi. And you wouldn't mind me resting for a while? I've been travelling all night".

[Queen Elsa]

Vitani bowed her head in respect and greeting to Safi. "Of course not. Go right ahead. Just let me know whenever you want to meet the king and queen, check out the territory, or whatever else you might want to see or know about."

[LeopardessGracie]

Safi smiled and lay down, legs stretched out in a comfortable position.
"Thank you, as a mother yourself, you should know how tired you get when your pregnant", she chuckled.

[Queen Elsa]

Vitani smiled, but knew inside that Renee was not her own daughter. She decided not to tell Safi this, however. At least, not at the moment.

[LeopardessGracie]

Safi yawned slightly, but then gave an 'ooft'. She giggled,
"This one's a little kicker", she patted her belly softly. She was surprised that they hadn't raised questions about it's father, it was complicated and she'd rather not explain. At least, not for a while.

[Princess Renee]

Renee opened her eyes, she could hear all the grown ups talking. The cub leaped to her paws as the lioness stranger came in, Renee ran over to her. "Is it a boy or a girl" she asked. Her real parents were going to have another cub before they were killed so Renee a lot about it.

[Queen Elsa]

Vitani gazed over at Renee. Why did she sound excited? She pushed the thought away and looked at Safi, but didn't say anything.

[Princess Renee]

Renee could see the lioness wanted to rest so she ran out the den before she got in trouble for bothering her. Her mothers tale caught Renees attention she slid over on her belly trying to claw at it.

[LeopardessGracie]

Safi was about to answer the cub before she ran off. She chuckled and smiled up at Vitani,
"She's a lively one, and if she wants to know the answer to her question, then it's a surprise. I don't know what gender it is, all I know is that there's only one there". She put her head down, and began to sleep.
