Welcome to Gaia! ::

As a Vizier's daughter, Mitra had every right to the prideful walk she exhibited, and yet, as a new Banu, she felt that she had finally earned it. She fell a half-step behind Kame'bufuu, her light paws kicking up dust with each step.

Where most Banu had displayed fear upon entering an already established harem, Mitra flashed confidence. They just had to like her. Kame wouldn't have brought her in if there had been any doubts. Of that she was sure of. "So...are we surprising them, or was this preconceived?" Mitra teased.

Her girlish side was squeeing. Could it have been possible that he'd been thinking of her when she had been thinking of him? And even have shared some if it with his Banu? She hoped that was the case. It would be so much more pleasant to already have them expecting her then the 'Surprise!' option.

Kinaya had heard very little of the female her mate was considering bringing into their home. Kame was a little fuzzy, excuse the pun, on whether or not he had really wanted to do it. He was getting older and adding a third female to their slightly established family would be a huge change on both sides.

Their youngest cubs - a litter of 8 - were barely three months old and might not understand why there was a new female living with them, even if they were told it, the full meaning might not become clear till they were older. But they were also more likely to be accepting of change now. The older cubs, another litter of 8, would have a tougher time, but they were a good bunch and would probably accept this new female decently well if she were brought home. And Kinaya had every confidence that should Kame'bufuu decide to go after another mate, he would most likely bring her home and happily so.

The little ones were napping, having spent a good part of the morning running all over and playing and doing cub things. Tai had gone out with some of their older siblings to arrange the family's dinner and whatnot, while Kinaya dealt with corralling the babies. They had finally all gone down, for the time being, but they would be up again later. Still, this left the pink lioness at least a little time to go wait at the mouth of the cave for Kame to come home.

When she spotted a lovely blue lioness behind him, her face lit up and she darted out to say hello. "Welcome home!" she called in that cheery voice of hers, waving to Mitra, "Hello there!"
