Adit frowned softly at his sister's comment about being left alone. He thought he had the situation compleatly taken care of, but he understood how she felt to a small degree.... He nuzzled warmly to her fur and purred lightly as a smile curled upon his lips. "I'm still sorry though..... I guess I didn't want them to know what they didn't need to know at the time sis...." he sighed lightly.
"And Sala.. I am sorry I wasn't there sooner...." Sabastian stated while laying down next to his children to snuggle up next to the two of them. "I should have been out there waiting for Benton seeing I knew he was comming. I am the only one to blame for what happened." he lightly sighed as he nudged his daughter's side softly. "But you two were very brave no matter what happened.

Sala purred in response and nuzzled her father. "We weren't brave... we were..." She paused, searching for the right word. "Cautious. Yeah... cautious. I don't know about Adit, but I would have run if he had attacked us." She nodded her head before laying her head over her brothers back and closing her eyes.

Akitana watched her mate handle her daughter and Adit's troubles with a small smile, deciding it was best to leave him to it. Moving back toward the mouth of the cave, she nosed Issaria, and smiled. Her Solar daughter was already asleep, and her mother was watching the stars appear.
Illitashia smiled, sensing her daughter's presence. "I thought it best if I stepped outside.. Safer it seemed.. Family troubles, should be kept between those who would understand it.. And I am sure I am too much of an outsider still..."
She winked at Akitana. "Besides. Even the stars need company once in awhile."
"And I'm sure they miss their Roaming Rose." Akitana teased, sitting at her mother's side. "Their First Companion?"
"Elli.." Illitashia corrected. "My first and truest friend.. Elli found me, she had been wandering for months, and I was just a kit, she was a cub. We grew up trekking the plains beneath these stars... And I have never forgotten."

Sabastian smiled while resting his cheek against his daughter's head as he listened to his mate and his mother speaking. Softly he purred as Adit also slowly drifted off to sleep. "Both of you were brave.." he softly whispered and then very slowly he moved to draw away from his children to join two lionesses to sit at the other side of his mate. "I thank you mother for comming to our pride. Have you been enjoying your time here?" he asked warmly while smiling his usual carefree smile.

The day had been long for Sir Benton and his mate Anastacia. The two of them were extremly tired and practically leaning on each other so they stayed awake as they walked. The burly black male had a little white cub, passed out ontop of his head. Looking over to Ana he whispered for her to yell off that they were comming back home. Home... There's something new...

Drawing in her breath, she roared out loudly to the others. Her belly had gotten swollen with cubs and it would be a while before she gave birth. She was extremely tired however almost tripping over her paws once or twice. Anastacia licked Benton's ear gently to keep him awake, her tail flicking against his rump everynow and then. "Almost there, huh?" She questioned, her ears flicking gently.

Benton felt the little one twitching atop his head at the roar but it soon stopped as she went back to sleep. "Yeah, we're almost there..." With the lick he was a little more awake and able to guide her where they had been before. He wasn't sure where they were going to sleep, but he was certain that Sabastian would inform him. There was also his role in the pride for them to speak about..

Illitashia smiled at Sabastian and nodded. "Yes.. You have a nice Pride here... And a good family.. It has been a pleasant visit.."
((*blinks at Myst and Monkey's post* Erm.. I dunno if she has had cubs or not.. Because one is saying one thing, and the other, the opposite..))
Akitana noted the roar and let out one of her own. Smiling to the rest of the Pride, she trotted to the border to see if she could aid the newest members, Benton and Anastacia.
"You've returned." She murmured and then paced to the lioness. "Let me help you."

(( She hasn't had the cubs yet. Benton is just bringing an adopted kit 3nodding ))
Anastacia stared at the other lioness thankfully feeling as if she was about to fall flat on her face. She managed to keep herself up, however, making her way with Benton into the pride boarders. "Thank you." She managed to say, flakes waving gently at her ears flicked.

((Yeah, Benton and Anastacia adopted This little cutie )) Benton smiled appreciativly at the lioness and whispered over at her. "Where are we going to be staying? A spare cave anywhere?" He asked with a little smile. Having always been by himself, minus his random traveling buddies, Benton was mostly a private lion.

Aki smiled. "I believe there are a few smaller caves scattered about the Pride Lands.. Most not far from the den.. You are welcome to use any one of those..."
She nudged Anastacia gently and aided the lioness along. "No trouble at all dear... Welcome to the Pride."
((Okies.. I see.. Thanks.. *not so confused now*))

Benton smiled a little and headed towards one of the caves close to their den. Once they got to the mouth of one of them he looked around it. "This'll do for tonight. Lay down, Ana.." He spoke softly to his half-asleep and pregnant mate.

Leaving them to get settled, Akitana backed away with a final smile and moved toward her own Den, checking on her cubs before returning to speak to her mother. They discussed Ana's swollen form and the cubs that would soon be running around the Pride Lands, and had each other smiling and laughing before long.
"I hope they aren't as troublesome as my darlings were." Aki murmured. "Ana wouldn't survive."
"Its a wonder you did.. With four trouble-making little ones." Illitashia teased, and they laughed again. Dawn's First Light was growing in numbers.

She looked over at the lioness and smiled again. "Thank you." She managed to drag herself into the cave and collapse gently on her side. Anastacia yawned, clearly tired. She curled up slightly, her head resting gently upon her forepaws. She didn't even say anything more, her eyes just simply closed as she let sleep overtake her.

Benton layed his head down near Ana and nosed Phaedra over after she slid off his head. "Go on.. Lay down. Sleep. Sweet dreams little one." He gave them both a little nuzzle then walked back over to the Queen. "That you so much again... Tomorrow.. I'd very much like to..." The black lion was cut off by a wide and loud yawn. "See the lands and such..."
