Tishan perked her ears up hoping to hear a sound of a fellow lion to help her to where the pride has gone of to. She blinked her eyes even though it was meaningless to . She had not heard any sound at all. She sat in the spot she was standing at sighing a heavy sigh. "I guess I took the wrong way." Her tail swayed in annoyance with herself and her terrible navigating.

Abeni looked up, hearing a familiar voice. Oh, thank god, not all of the other lionesses had died. Perhaps she had just been staying away for fear of the constant changing leadership. "Hello," she called, giving her clingy cub a quick lick on the head before sitting up. "If you were looking for Softwood, you ended up in the right place."
The queen wasn't exactly familiar with this lioness. She had seen her a few times, but for the moment knew little about her. She had been so involved with her own family and with Tau that she had neglected to find all the others. And she didn't yet realize that Tishan was blind.
"It's very quiet around here now; Tau and his spawn have finally moved off," she added. Despite her cruel nature, Abeni was determined to inspire loyalty in her pride. "Look, Adanna, Ikenna. This is one of your pride-mates. She's a good cat, our friend."

Tishan tilted her head towards the voice. "Good! I didn't get lost good!" She almost smiled a bit. "Oh they did?" She fixed herself up sitting up all the right. "Well nice to meet you all. I haven't really seen all of the pride yet, but it is good that I ran into one of the members instead of a hungry presence. I kinda of got lost at first but so what all happened here?"
Tishan smelt two little cubs, she for a moment got lost in memories of her cub days. Her tail stop swaying into a sway here and there.

Abeni had gotten distracted quickly, and though she had licked her head, Adanna was upset to suddenly have the attention turned away from her. She had been enjoying receiving more attention then her silent brother, and wanted it to continue. But despite that, she kept her displeasure quiet, and simply followed after her mother to the new lioness. She looked up at her with wide eyes, head tilted to the side in curiosity. "What's your name?"

"Tishan." Tishan replied in a quiet manner. She did not know what to make of this new little family she ran into. Her eyes moved with her response in a ghostly way though. She tilted her head towards the tiny female cub trying to make of her personalty from what she could tell from how the cub asked the question.

Abeni studied Tishan quietly, eyes narrowed as she watched the way the lioness' eyes moved without seeing. Dammit, was she blind?! Ugh, how was she supposed to turn a pride of herself, her softie brother, two newborn cubs, Holly, and this crippled female into an army?!
She swallowed her frustrations silently. It would be a challenge, but her father had thought this pride worthy of them, and so she would turn it into the thing of beauty she knew it was destined to be. "Well, I'm glad you made your way back. It's rather empty around here right now. Though hopefully that'll be remedied soon. Tishan, these are my cubs, Adanna and Ikenna. Ikenna is my son, and he's very quiet, but Adanna seems to be getting the hang of her tongue, aren't you?" she purred, giving the small female a nuzzle.
Honestly, she had higher hopes for her next litter. They would be part leopard, after all. But she would do what she could to make these two into strong pride members.

Tishan listened to the way the voices rolled out over into her ears. "What all happened? I heard something about the pride was attacked by some kind of enemy."
She heard the silent frustration in the older lioness's voice. How can everyone think my blindness holds me back? Do they not think I can't hold my own? Am i really that of a injury?
"Good to meet you two little cats. May your futures hold brighter days then this one."

Chinyere had been sticking to the background until he thought that Tau's family had completely left the territory. That is, until he noticed a lioness he had not seen very often. She seemed nice, her coat color was good too. Though...her eyes moved..differently. They moved like the previous queen's blind eye.
The one before Bane, that is. His head tilted to the side slightly, observing her eye with curiosity. He couldn't quite pinpoint it yet, though. He stuck with his tree, his long tail slightly flicking every now and then.

Tishan kept to her spot near the female and her cubs. Her tail moved in a pace that seemed like she was ready to pounce on something. She kept her ears perked up in case of anything coming at her.
The rest of this pride seems rather a small group. What happened to the rest of the pride ? She forgot how many originally there were in the pride but she suspected the pride used to be bigger than this.

Adanna nodded a little to Tishan, as if to show that she approved, then grinned up at her mother and nodded eagerly. "Yup! I can talk really good, can't I? Ikenna can't say anything." She looked to her silent brother, who had hardly even moved, and stuck her tongue out at him. "Lazy butt." She knew her mother favored Ikenna, so it made her rather pleased that she was doing so well already while Ikenna hadn't even moved an inch.

Tishan tilted her head in a puzzlement."Is Ikenna the only male left in the pride? If so then that would mean he is the future king,I think." Her eyes twitched a bit as she laughed at the young female's remark. Maybe she could get along with the young cub or maybe even make a friend.

Abeni's smile turned to a glare as the cub insulted her brother, but she swallowed it down. It was all in good fun, and she would rather have them both toughen up than shelter them. "Indeed; perhaps later today you two can come on a tour of the territory," she mused. At Tishan's question, she shook her head, though she knew the lioness couldn't see it. "No, my brother Chinyere is the eldest male. He's not king, I don't believe he really has a head for leadership, but he is quite strong. He has been my closest friend since cubhood. Speaking of," she glanced around, spotting her brother in a nearby tree.
"Chi, come introduce yourself. This is Tishan," she called, tail flicking. Her brother seemed to be keeping to himself; not exactly the behavior of a king. Charisma was what a leader needed, like their father had. In the end he had made some fatal mistakes, but he was quite charming. Now that her grief had passed she was beginning to recognize where he went wrong, and realize that he hadn't been the perfect leopon she had made him out to be. She would learn from his mistakes, and hopefully do a better job than he had.

"Isn't a pride supposed to be led by some kind of male?" Tishan let out a light yawn. She flicked her tail in a tempo all her own. "I have so many questions. Like how I got here with out getting myself terribly injured, what happened to the old king. And what this new kind of cat i've heard so much of. The offspring of the spotted cat that I've been told that is called a Leopard and a lion."

"The previous king, before Tau and his spawn grabbed the throne, was my father. He was slaughtered by our rival pride while on a mission to eliminate a solitary enemy," Abeni said, choosing to answer that question first. "He himself was a leopon, the child of a leopard and a lioness. As am I. We currently have no king; I am queen. I lead the pride. As for how you found your way home, I've no idea."
She was beginning to think that this Tishan wasn't exactly the brightest lioness around, but she'd take what she could get for now. And perhaps with a little mentoring the blind female could be useful, in her own way. Abeni herself was the runt of her litter, she was going to do her best to turn weaknesses into strengths.
"And I have some questions as well. Do you have experience with hunting and fighting, and were you born into the pride? Or did you just happen to find your way here?"

Adanna wasn't too happy to hear her mother insult Uncle like that, but she kept quiet for now. And now that the adults were talking about boring things, she sighed and turned away, trotting over to her brother, who still hadn't moved. She poked at him a bit, before gently biting his ear and tugging it. When there was still no movement, she snorted. "Don't know why Momma likes you so much. You're worthless." She kept her voice quiet, so that hopefully Abeni wouldn't hear, though really, what child can keep that squeaky little voice silent?
Snorting, she sat down and looked back to the adults, waiting for them to finish talking so that she could go attempt to cuddle her mother again.
