She gazed down at the female of the 2 cubs..her playfull manner not helping to put a smile Across Cova's face. The smile quickly moving to a solem one, standing still still watching the small Female.

" I'm very sorry to hear of your loss"

Looking to Alex and dipping her head in respect

"I hope it has not affected these ones to much"

Her gaze watching across the male now hicked up on his farthers back, his head andchin in Alex's large mane tuft, her solem expression still on her face. Scritching one pawtoe over the complaining girl on the floor in an attempt to keep her entertained for a moment whilst they spoke.
