Sylwanin had only been home a few days now, but it still made her happy to see how everything was going. There were many old friends still around and so many more new ones to get to know. It was both daunting and exhilarating to think on. There was going to be a very long path ahead of Sylwanin trying to get to know everyone that had been added to the pride, both born in and having come from outside. She wondered if it would have been easier if she had been here when they had arrived. But no, she doubted it would have been any easier.
She likely would have ended up siding with her brother that did not want outside blood in the pride if she had not gotten sense knocked into her from her time in the roguelands. She had wondered a few times since she had come home if the same might work for her brother. One brother was their sensible and wise king, the other was so anti-new blood it worried Sylwanin. As the lioness leaped along the high path near Home Tree she saw another lioness pressing her head to a tree. "Are you trying to move the tree or communicate with it? Either way I think you may not succeed."
