It starts...

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Simba, what do you think?" asks Namabi picking Asante up.

Fuja lays down close to the waterhole and sighs watching the water ripple as he breaths

Namabi puts Asante in to the water hole letting him bath himself. He goes and has a drink.

Asante hardly noticed his small form being juggled between the lions and not in the water. He had become numb. He sat silently in the water wanting to get out. He brought a blood stained paw to his mouth and liked it clean. After finishing with his paw he left to water and walked away from the water hole, past the elder lions.

Fuja sits up and starts running through the savannah a bit needing to stretch his legs, he suddenly stops seeing a wildebeast grazing a bit outside the herd, he closes in to look closer if he got a chance

Namabi continues to drink more water, he gets up and looks at poor Asante. He is very worried about him, he goes and sits next to Simba. "Don't worry, we all know what you're going through." says Namabi to Asante.

Valkiria smiles politely to Asha and Simba.
"I... I'm Ok, i think" :alone:
She tried to go, but her paws were still too week, and the tigress has fallen. :zzz:

Asante's expression hardened and he nodded. "Thanks..." he whispered sucking up his tears. "She wouldn't want me crying over her." Asante laughed a little, whiping his paws over his face.

Asante smiled moving close to her suckling. He started purring when the warm milk hit his belly. He was very greatful, but wondered if what his mother said was true 'We don't belong here' her voice ran across his mind until he fell asleep close to his saragent mother

Asante woke his large green eyes opening sleepily. He yawnd widely. "Morning..." he said still in a doze state. he stretched standing up but soon topled over hitting his head off a rock. He growled at it an d backed into Sapphire. He looked up to her and smiled, feeling safe infront of her.

Namabi wakes up and sees that Asante is a bit happier now. "Nice to see you smiling a bit, Asante." says Namabi yawning and giving Asante a warm, friendly smile.

Asante pawed at Sapphire before starting to drink. It all reminded him of when he was very young when his father was alive and with his family. It all seemed like a dream to him now. Soon he finished eating and burped with a hic-up. He shook his head and jumped onto Sapphire's side, playfully.

Namabi looks at his two cubs "How about you two play with Asante?" he suggests.
Leo and Leana walk over to Asante seeing if he wants to play.

Asante never felt this before. His mother would hug him and cuddle him, but never really talked like this to him. he purred feeling warm. Asante bit at one of Kimi's feet nervious of the elder male, but wanted to break himself of that...

Leo and Leana look at eachother. They decide to snuggle with Kimi.

Asante snuggle Kimi back and nuzzled Sapphire. "Thanks..." he whispered settling down again. "Sapphire...may I call you mom?" he asked wanting to forget the greif of loosing his mother soon.

Valkiria purred. Asha's medicine began to help, the shoulder wasn't sick any more.

Asante liked the idea of playing. He jumped as high as he could bapping Leana with his small white paw. He fell back to the ground on his feet glad he didn?t fall again. His tail swished playfully looking up at the three, eyes shinning.

Leo and Leana look up at Tipa thinking that he is a bit old to play but they decide to play with Tipa and Asante.

Leo jumps on top of Tipa. He was starting to enjoy hiself. Leana follows.
