Adulthood

"No. No. No!" Jaini says rolling his eyes.

(Yeah, looks really cool! :cool: )

Kryken laughs smearing some leaf extract on his cheek playfully as he pounces him "Hehe, just thought I'd have some fun," he stuck his tongue out playfully.

"It's no problem," she gave a light smile and a short nuzzle before walking off slowly to her waterhole again. On the way, her memories and thoughts became occupied of Leo.
----
"What are you two doing now?" Kenyi smiled, padding up to Klowd and Kryken.

"Oh, just having some fun with Klowd," Kryken laughs, smearing more syrupy extract on him.

"Wait...aren't those my medicinal items, you're fiddling with?" he gave a stern look at his son.

"I don't know...are they?"

Kenyi sighed, but smiled "To me...you're still a cub, but a playful one."

"Except older...and more mature. An adult," he smiled.

" No....I don't want to be a nuisance for anybody..." he said " It's my problem....my mission..." he sighed.

Leo sighs and looks up to the sky, "Duties of being a king...um...the duties..." he tries to think before getting up and looking up to the sky. He looks for an answer, he doesn't get one.

"Yeah but dad is..." Jaini sighs.

Leo lowers his head walking out into the fields. His memories and thoughts occupied of Aysha.

Klowd was surprised seeing his father pouncing him " Ack! Dad....what are you doing??" said laughing.
"Heya Kenyi" he said to his grandfather smiling, then he said to his Kryken " A bad cubby you are Dad!!" he said laughing loud.

"Hey! I am not!" Kryken laughs "I just thought I'd have a little fun is all," he smirked.

Kenyi rolled his eyes "Sure..."

"Anyways, I was just going to put your stuff back," he smiled, nuzzling his son, Klowd.
----
Aysha stopped for a small moment, glancing back at Leo as she drooped her ears sadly, watching as he pads off. She turned back around and continued off slowly.

Leo lays down on a rock in the fields and looks around.

"Not really...he's squashing me. He and Reth..." Jaini tries to get away again.

Klowd nuzzles back his father. " And Kenyi......i think maybe you should have some fun too..." he laughed running towards his grandfather fastly and pounced onto him playfully, trying not to annoy him. " Come on Dad come you too!!"

"Of course I know fun," Kenyi laughs, giving his grandson a noogie "Did you do anything fun today?" he smiles, giving him a nuzzle.

"So...where did you go all day?"

" Not really..." he said rolling his eyes " Nothing fun happens here never.." he sighed "Just....that new tiger...but i haven't talked to him a lot yet.... he's finding his father, he knows that he's alive but he doesn't know where is him..." he lowered his head sadly " I wouldn't like even to imagin... what would do in his situation.....with you two...." he said nuzzling lovingly his father and grandfather.

Leo begins to get thirsty so he decides to go for a drink himself.

"Darn..." Jaini slaps his paw on the ground. "Someone needs a bath..." Jaini uses his paw to wift away the smell.

"No...it's gotta be you or dad." Jaini puts his paw over his mouth.
"It's definitely not me...I had a bath earlier." Katai growls a bit... "You haven't had a bath in like...days."

Jaini realises... "Oops..."

Aysha walked up behind Leo quietly "I have something for you..." she smiles.

Leo turns around, he smiles. "Like what?"

"This," she gently bent over with a slow poise, giving Leo a tender lick on his soft cheek "And...I wanted to show you this..." Aysha wistfully handed him a small, delicate bellflower "It was what my mother gave me before she passed on," she half-smiled.

Leo smiles happily, "Thank you so much. This made me feel so better." Leo smiles again, a tear dropping from his eye.
