Tau had returned to Alibaster, and the leopardess took her leave, returning back to her spot near Nuru. Adeleke had padded over, the little cub curious about the situation. The mother leaned down, returning her cub's nuzzle. "We're going to be moving, my dear. A place with much more room and less mud," she said, chuckling at the mention of mud. It had been quite messy living here in the Camp, and drier land would be a blessing for the cubs.

Adeleke frowned, happy about finding a new home that wasn't so muddy, but also afraid of leaving at all. The little cub was terrified of change, though she tried to take it all in stride. "I'll stay right by you, though, right?" She cuddled against Baneth's belly, then decided it was also a good time to nurse since she was hungry. Plus it just brought her comfort, even if she was getting just a tad bit too big to be nursing. She didn't care though, and once she was full she yawned and just snuggled into her mother's fur. "Where are we going?"

The mother leopardess smiled at her cub as the little strawberry lipard curled up on her belly. "Alright, Adeleke. I'll stay by you as well. Nothing will happen, I promise," she murmured, leaning down to give the cub a lick. As the cub nursed, Baneth's eyes flicked back to Tau and Alibaster. The two must still be discussing terms, and Baneth wondered what would happen if Alibaster was defeated.
She then turned to see Khalfani still sheepishly attempting conversation with his son. She chuckled softly to herself, but she was proud of her son for at least making an effort. Adeleke's voice popped up again, this time asking where they were going.
"We will be going to a place called the Clapperclaw lands. They are a lion pride, so they have lots of lions just like your daddy. That leopon that Daddy is talking to will be challenging the king. If he wins, we'll be living there with Daddy. Doesn't that sound fun?" she explained, giving the timid cub a warm smile.

Adeleke frowned, still uncertain. "I guess... but I dunno. Being around a bunch of strangers sounds scary! What if they're mean?" She nuzzled her face against her mother's paw, though she kept one eye peeking out. "Or what if they ARE nice but they just don't like me?" The thought made her want to whimper. It would be bad enough if they were mean and hostile, but if they were nice and just didn't want to be friends with Adeleke, that would break her heart! Of course, even if they were nice she would have a hell of a time working up the guts to even say hi to them. "Do you think there'll be other cubs there?"

"No, dear, don't be afraid! If Alibaster wins his challenge, your father and I will be highly ranked members of the pride alongside the new king. Which means you, my lovely cubs, will also be very high ranked," she explained. "And I am sure they will love all of you. You are especially sweet, my dearest Adeleke," she purred, nuzzling the nervous cub. Adeleke was a very anxious and timid cub, unlike either of her parents. However, it made the little female even more lovable.

Adeleke still wasn't convinced, but she supposed so long as she had her mother, it would be alright. Though at the idea of being high ranked, Adeleke didn't know how to feel. "I dunno if I'd like that. I just want to be like everyone else, if there are other cubs." After all, if she was higher ranked, that would intimidate them and make them not want to be her friend, right? As if Adeleke could be at all intimidating.

Baneth kept her smile, curling herself around her cub. "Dear, all the cubs can be your friend. They won't be afraid of you! Everyone likes the high ranks, Sweetie. Really, it's only your father and I who will be high ranked. Cubs are all equal and are equally loved and protected by the entire pride," she continued, nodding with her own words.

Alibaster grinned, glad to have their support against Tima. Even if Tau was a wuss, Bane looked like she could handle herself. And oh, it would be so good to have more animals like himself, with the spotted pelts of one world and the manes and muscle of another. None of them would ever fit in, they would always be the oddity, but in HIS pride, oddities would be cherished.
"Alright, then, let's head out now. I'm a great swimmer, so if you wanna have me carry anyone, I'd be happy to oblige."

Adeleke frowned, still very much unsure, but then the older leopon spoke and she squeaked in surprise. And then, just to show that she really was, in fact, half leopard, she suddenly jumped, latching onto her mother's leg and climbing up until she was on her back, snuggling into her fur. "I'm riding on Mommy's back!" But then she looked at her two brothers, frowning a little in thought. "Though I guess I could share with them, if they wanna ride, too... but I'm staying right here!" She wrapped her little arms around Bane's neck as much as she could, hugging her mother.

Tau nodded a little, and while he doubted his own swimming abilities, like hell he was going to let somebody else carry his children. Turning to Astennu, he grinned and leaned down, gently picking him up in his teeth before setting him down on his back. "How about I carry you?" He gently licked the top of his son's head then turned to Baneth, licking her cheek as well. He then turned to Alibaster, ready to head off.

Khalfani watched his mother and stepdad, or whatever he was supposed to call him, pick up two of his little siblings and he looked to Ambokile, thinking he should carry that cub. Of course either of his parents could and most likely would carry him, but still. Khalfani wanted to interact with his little siblings. But then, he also wanted to get to know his son. Torn, he shuffled around awkwardly, before laying down and grinning at the two cubs awkwardly. "So, uhh, all aboard?" A lame attempt at a joke, but at least he's trying.

Sollux was quiet, listening and watching. His father seemed pretty boring to him, everyone else was just so much more interesting to look at! But when it came time to leave again, he bounded back over to the leopon, completely ignoring Khalfani. "Can I ride wi' you again, Ali?" He asked, bouncing on his toes. Though he wasn't too familiar with him, this cat was still less of a stranger than anyone besides his mother. Not to mention he swam fast; the water looked so cool from up on his shoulders!

Nuru nodded as Baneth explained that they would be departing. "Alright. Sollux and I will be heading off once we get back to shore. I met this gril, I don't know if you remember Ayomide, Khal, but she's....She's really pretty, and FUCKLEing adorable. We're going to try and form a leopard clan. The Clan of the Hidden. If all goes to plan, we'll be recruiting members soon."
She watched Sollux run to Alibaster, feeling a bit bad for Khalfani. He was so awkward around Sol. "Hey Khal, you better swim by me, we all know the water isn't too kind when I'm around."

Ambokile was torn for a moment. He didn't want to leave! But it looked like he didn't have much choice, so now he needed to pick a ride. The young male wanted to race after his nephew and ride on the leopon, but at the same time his older brother was offering a ride! This was so difficult!
In the end, he grinned at his brother, deciding one cub a piece was enough. "Awesome!" He crowed, climbing up onto Khalfani's shoulders and settling there. "Let's go, let's go! I wanna see the lion lands!"
