Tabansi and Anu bowed respectivly to the female while Vasilios just sort of stood their by his mother's side. The cub stood behind Kila, afraid of these territories. Her past knowledge of these lions were negative, always had been negative.
Tabansi glared at Vasilios, "Excuse my nephew's rudeness, he is not used to the prescence of a lady...I do not think." his voice rumbled and at the sound, Vasilios made a short bow hesitantly.
Kila looked to the female and smiled softly, "Your King and Queen invited us, I do hope they haven't forgotten about us?" she made a slight joke. She looked to Anu, whose eyes still seemed to be heart broken. She still didn't know how he would take living in the same lands as his previous love.

Amarantha giggled at her nephew and Tabansi, and then at Kila. "Certainly not. Daddy reminded us just recently." She turned her heard to look in the direction of the Den. "Here he is now." She trotted a little ways to meet Santos with a nuzzle and walked by his side back to the boarder.
Santos slowed as he neared his daughter and the boarder, smiling at Tequila and her family, especially Vasilios. "Hello, Kila. Glad to see you made it." He sounded genuinely kind, his smile bright and lighthearted despite the hurt he felt because of his sister. He had been looking forward to these lions joining the pride.

Kila watched the King and noticed something perhaps the others hadn't, "Is something wrong King Santos?" she felt the slightest tremble fall through, this wasn't a set up though. She thoguht their might be ones who disapproved, but she hadn't hoped it was bad enough to pain the king if that was the reason at all. "You know I just want the best for my family." she smiled softly.
She bowed to the King, "Forgive my rudeness," she smiled. All of the other lions besides the small cub followed her lead. They respected her, fortunate for her. She had kept them together, "I have a friend I have met, Tic Tac..." she looked to him. "He should be coming shortly, if it is alright with you. I know I said four others besides myself...he doesn't have anyone to stay with so I offered him our company when we were in the bad lands..." she hoped he would be an accepting king as she had heard.

Santos shook his head. "It has nothing to do with you. It's a subject for a later time. Perhaps you'd be able to help me with it, even." He gave a silent nod before watching them bow and listening to Kila's words. "It's perfectly fine with me. The more the merrier." He chuckled softly. "While we wait, I could show you about the pride."
Amarantha shifted her paws a little, watching the new family that was merging with hers. She knew the black spotted male to be her nephew, Vasilios, and the black and orange male to be her sister's ex mate, but she could not say she recalled ever hearing of this handsome grey male, or the young cub. This family really must've been as large as her own.

Tabansi smiled at the female who seemed to be analyzing his family but he stood in wait while his mother talked with King Santos. Anu just kept his eyes on the King and just passed the borders, while Vasilios tried to look as masculine as possible.
Kila nodded, "That would be lovely. Oh..." she laughed. "I think I'm losing my mind. This is Daiquiri, my youngest." she nudged the ruby colored cub to the floor. You know Anu and Vasilios...this is my other son Tabansi."
Tabansi smiled, his mother could be comical in the silliest of ways.

Please stab my heart...
Santos smiled at the cub, bending down to be eye level with her. "Hello Daquiri. I'm sure you could make some friends here." He stood back up and looked at the males. "Anu, Vasilios; pleasure to see you again, and it's nice to meet you Tabansi."
Amarantha blushed as Tabansi smiled at her and looked away quickly, trying to seem like she wasn't feeling slightly embarrassed.
...The time has come for me

Large paws followed on the ground lightly. His wings were held tight on his body, his bird famillar stood on his shoulder. He was a bit late but he was getting closer to the smell of Kila and the borders of the lands. He looked up and squinted a bit. Then flew to the borders where he saw her.
"Kila..." He rummbled as he reached the borders refusing to go farther with out the kings premission.

Tabansi couldn't help but grin and look down, he too had been in love once. Though she had left...he hadn't known where she went. But he hoped that she was happy.
Kila smiled as Daiquiri's eyes widened and scurried back behind her mother. Daiquiri missed her father, wet tears welled in her eyes but she fought them back she wasn't weak. Tic Tac wasn't her father but she didn't dislike him either. He had feathers too!!
Anu's voice came out raspy as if he hadn't had a drink in a long while. Truth be told he was nervous, "Pleasure to see you too King Santos." His son stood silent. He didn't have any control over his son, now as an adult. They were more like brothers.

Tic Tac smiled at the young female that fled behind Kila. She had wings like himself, maybe he could help her with flying. He looked up at Kila and smiled a bit spreading his wings before tucking them in. He flicked his tail and looked around.
He looked at the male with the roses and gave a deep bow assuming he was the king. "Sir, do I have premssion to enter your lands?" He asked as his flakes twitched. "And may I ask for your name sir." He lead his gaze to Kila for a moment and her family before turning back to the king.

Santos eyed the male at his boarders. And angelic... He seemed respectable enough. "I take it you are Tic Tac?" He asked, the familiar tone he used with Kila and her family leaving his voice ever so slightly. "You have permission. I am Santos."

Tic Tac smiled and bowed again. "Thank you very much King Santos, I am very gratful to be welcomed into your pride." He stepped foreward going toward Kila's direction. He kept quiet waiting, and watching, hoping to find out what was going on and if they were going to go some where.

Kila nosed Tic Tac's cheek as he approached as she would do with anyone she cared for. She smiled softly, "King Santos, would you mind showing me where my daughter can take a nap...her feet are getting restless as well as my maw." she winked as she picked her daughter up and Daiquiri's tail curled under as her eyes fluttered open and closed.
Tabansi just smiled at his little sister, kids...most of his siblings were pregnant..the ones that were old enough or had some. He just needed another female that could start with him where Mariposa left off. He wanted to be happy.
Anu however stood by his son. who was almost as big as he now. Lost eyes searched for something that he could calm himself, he too did not know how he would react even still. He wondered where his daughter was, "Where is my little Adieu?" he questioned.

Preston returned his purr and fell into her favorite place in the world, her mate's arms. "Ohh, I see." With the sounding roar her ear tugged a bit followed reluctantly by her eyes to the boarders as her father-in-law rushed past. "Who's that coming?" Her question was answered soon enough.
Valiant had just nodded to his grandfather and then ditched the bucket when out of eyesight. This pride was swarming with lions, he'd have to be extra sneaky to get out without being seen, but when he saw a new family coming through the urge to leave was gone. Now he wanted to learn of these newcomers, espically the new cub. Perhaps they could become allies? Though he waited, listened and was all in all shocked at seeing the abundance of wings. What the hell was goin' on?
Floria heard the rustle that only new members could bring to the pride. Getting to her feet she wiggled free of Kabili and picked up Jayden in her mouth, some sun would do the cub good. Coming to the mouth of the cave she set her gray cub down and smiled seeing her father. Was that her nephew? The rest of the family she did not know, and her nephew she had only seen once or twice when he was a cub.

Life was good. Her mother was together with Mankato and they were having a family (finally), she had moved into Rose Petal with Arsenic (finally), and, best of all, she had three little bundles revolving on her womb. Lithium was keeping brakes on her mother though, so she wouldn't abuse her luck despite Kerryn's sighs and eye rolls, but it was nothing the Twilight Fang couldn't live with. On a normal day, she'd be already out and about, hunting on the dawn of day. However, now she stirred lightly as she woke up lazily, blinking her silver eyes at Arsenic.
Lithium, however, had been the first out and about, to enjoy the peace of the land before the tangle of thoughts was unleashed from the waking ones. Even the unborn added to the clutter... Still, it didn't bother as much as it had in the past, obviously, no longer the forever sleeping kit coiled in a corner of the den. Her almost pathological shyness was still there though, even if translated mostly into silence. She just didn't think she had it in her to overcome it... the one meeting with that black lion, Anu, had been a drop of ease on her ocean of insecurity...
Returning from her morning walk, something thugged on her mind. New, unknown voices, coursed through her mind, soon to her ears as well. What a colorful bunch, she thought... the newcomers who were to join... One seemed familiar though... Lithium a little ways away from her grandfather and aunt, not daring to go closer. She'd just be in the way like that. Her black and white eyes peered out to them though, eager to pinpoint that which was familiar, until it hit her, eyes widening, her jaw dropping a bit. "A-Anu?" she muttered to herself. That was the oddest of coincidences...

Tic Tac's eyes wandered to Kila for a moment as she nosed him. He was very much over whemled with all the scents of the pride. There must have been alot of members. He relaxed some as he wandered to Kila's side looking out into the distance the best he could. "Do you want me to take her Kila?" He nudged her side just slightly and moved even closer incase she wanted to lean on him. He extended one of his large wings slighty shading her and the cub off.
