Amaree looked towards the noise and nodded. "We'll talk later." Amaree went over to the two and stood up, the hair on her back frizzing out and looking menacing. "WHAT... ARE YOU DOING?" She yelled at the other cub, upset at seeing her little friend hurt. She growled angrily and snatche dBrooke underneath her with a paw. She licked Brooke's cheek. "Rellick will take care of this..." She said, taking care of the cub.

Rellick ignored her, placing a paw on the cub's tail in the event he would try to escape. "Tell me how you came to be in my Pride Lands, and why. If I do not like your answers, you will be punished. No tresspassing allowed, and NO harming of my Pride... Speak."
His tail lashed about angrily, and he eyed the blood on Brooke's coat.
((Someone made the mistake of messing with Rell's Girls... *cowers* ))

((-pets Jax- Poor thing, he must be frightened half to death xD))
Brooke reluctantly allowed Amaree to lead her away slightly, wincing at Rellick's angry words.
Jax swallowed. He pulled himself cautiously into a sitting position, his mind whirring.
'Jax... Jax been wand'ring fer long long time!' He launched into his explanation. 'An'... an' Jax be'd hungry, so he smelt foods and come to... to see de birds!' He said, tripping over the words in his haste to get them out. 'An' Jax not know dis be Sir Rell'ck lands. Been wand'ring fer long long time!'

Rell growled.
"Did you not know when you crossed the border? My scent is there.. You should not have crossed into my territory, especially not without announcing yourself.. Nor should you be lurking in my lands."
He bit back more harsh words, fighting to calm. "And you never, never, EVER should have harmed Brooke. I don't care how much she scared you..."
A shudder passed over his coat. "Come to my den... We will feed you, and then decide your fate."
He turned back to Amaree.
"Help me?" He asked in a soft voice, then picked up the young gazelle by its neck and trotted toward home.

Jax shrugged apologetically.
'Momma neva tol' me.' He said simply. But then, his momma had told him one thing. Jax dipped his head in grateful acknowledgement of Rellick's words, and then stood and faced Brooke. 'Jax's sorry.' He told her promptly, a light shining in her eyes that radiated genuine thankfullness for her attempt to step in.
Brooke felt touched. A moment ago, this little cub had seemed like the most uncontrollable little oaf she had ever laid eyes on, and now, he seemed like the most well-mannered little prince there was. She leaned her head closer to the cub's, and gently lifted him.
'I got you.'

Amaree stood tall and firm while Rellick handed out the order to the cub. He really was becoming a strong and wise leader. She nodded when he gave the order and walked over towards the gazelle. She grabbed the smaller one that she knew she could manage and began to drag it. She didn't want to bring up the earlier conversation for fear of what Rellick would say. "What will you do with the cub?" Amaree asked Rellick as she flung the gazelle carcass over her back. "What will his fate be?"

Rellick dragged the carcass a few paces and let it lie, resting his jaw for a moment.
"I don't know what shall be done with him yet." The young King murmured. "He has harmed one of you, and he as tresspassed.. I would be within my rights to hurt him.. But we all know I won't. I think I shall consider him.. And in time, maybe even let him join the Pride."
He gave a little shrug. "At least I can teach him what not to do..."

Amaree nodded to Rellick. "He doesn't seem like he was very close to his parents, or that they didn't teach him much... maybe.. you could teach him right?" Amaree asked, flicking her tail. "Could make a good member to the pride... he seems like he's strong enough, even if he is just a cub..." Amaree looked at Rellick thoughtfully. He would make a good decision no matter what. She nodded to herself and picked up the gazelle again in her mouth, heading closer. Then she stopped again and set the gazelle down. She looked at her kind and then at the ground. "Rellick... I'm sorry about my behavior earlier.. I just... wasn't thinking... I'm sorry..." Amaree felt a pang of guilt and couldn't look back into the lion's eyes.

Brooke had not paid much attention to what Amaree and Rellick had said. Little Jax had wriggled and squirmed, desperately trying to escape her grip. Obviously, no one had ever told him it was a nice thing to be carried.
Jax kept his claws in check. He didn't want the scary red lion yelling at him again. Then he felt a quick bob from Brooke's paw and her hissing. 'Be quiet, y'liddle demon!'
Jax stopped moving for a second.
'Don' like dis!' He complained softly, twisting again.
'Oh come on...' Brooke grumbled through all his fur, and grabbed his muzzle. 'Shush! Unless, of course, you want Rellick to yell at you again.' That shut him up.
((Editted to put this in: Hey, you guys, I was just carefully re-reading what had happened, and I just wanted to say that whenever you guys decide to arpee altogether and I'm not here, it'd be great if you guys could kinda 'take control' of Brooke with just a little line, just so she won't get left behind. It would be weird if there were two pages of RP and she was still just standing next to the gazelle, in theory. xD))

((Sometimes it isn't really necessary to take control of her unless we need her to do something Moon.. But Ok.. Will do! *forgot she was suppossed to do that* Seems kinda like GodModing.. *wince*))
Rellick nodded. "Its... Its fine Amaree, no need to apologize. No need at all."
He leaned over and licked her cheek. "Come, let's go home."
With a sigh he picked up the kill and dragged it on, eyeing Jax and Brooke. 'Odd little thing.. To be sure.'
((To the Updating Member list I go!))

((Ahh, don't worry, you have permission xDDD))
It seemed as if Jax had no fond memory of being carried by another lions. It was only moments after he had decided to shut up that he began to squirm again.
'Led go-a me!' He said. 'Jax c'n walk alone!'
Brooke sighed as the little cub struggled in her grasp.
'You are so not worth all this, kid!' She muttered, setting him down onto the ground. 'Now come along then, if you can walk on your own!' She said, somewhat huffily. What a little brat! 'And I suppose your mother taught you all about how to behave around other lions, too!'
Jax didn't understand sarcasm.
'Noo, momma nebber tol' me!' He said defensively. His relationship with his mother had been a stormy and distant one at best, and he barely remembered her face anymore.

Rell dropped the gazelle within the mouth of the den, tired of their senseless squabbling. He turned with a dark expression on his face that hinted a storm was about to break.
"Cease your whining at once." Rell growled in a low voice. "What Brooke was doing was carrying you, as all cubs should be carried when so young. You will thank her, not be a rude monstrosity, or it shall go ill for you."
His claws unsheathed and resheathed themselves, leaving shallow grooves in the sand.
"We will teach you what lions should act like if you use half a brain and start to act like one. No more whining, no more rude behavior. Do you understand? Aplogize to Brooke and thank her for her help."
((Jaz is an Appaloosa isn't he Moon? XD *horsefan*))

((Lol, yea xDD The actual Jax is about the prettiest horse I have ever seen in my life))
Jax felt a shudder run down his spine as Rellick's words hit him. He dodged behind Brookes foreleg, peeping out as she stopped walking to avoid stepping on him. His eyes followed the king's big claws. The cub looked up at Brooke and tapped her leg.
'Sorry!' He squeaked, terrified of the king.

Jay yawned, once again in his usual sleeping position. On his back with all his legs sticking straight up. He could leave now and make it home by noon. Why didn't he? A red and gold face floated by in his mind's eye. Oh yea...that's why.
The bushes near him rustled and he glanced at them. Was there something there? He rolled onto his feet and investigated. "Hello?" He sniffed at the twigs and leaves cautiously, catching the scent of lions. Two little bundles tumbled out of the shrubs, yowling.
Jay yelped in surprise and leapt back, fur standing on end. Dus purple eyes narrowed and then widened in surprise. They were male cubs, one black with a variety of designs and the other teal and dark purple.
"Ow!" Revyn rubbed his head. He had tripped over a branch, falling into Aygra, which sent them tumbling down a small incline. Somewhere along the trip he had hit his head. "Am I bleeding?"
"No you're not." The teal male scrambled to his feet. He cuffed his friend and growled. "I'm going to get you for that!" Turning away from the black cub he stopped and gulped. "Uh..." Wide eyes took in the large black male.

((Mom used to have a grey app stallion.. Horse was the love of her life.. So I've been staring at that cub goin "I know he's an appy.. I know it" I is a total horse buff.. <333 ))
Rell nodded. "Better... Now stand up and walk if you will."
He shook his head and paced into the den, leaping from pedestal to pedestal. When he reached his own bed, he looked down.
"This is my place." He said as he sat, this perch being the highest and the one nearly above the opening. "To my right is Amaree's.. And I do not know if the girls have claimed any others. You may choose a pedestal, and you will sleep there."
