Chinyere walked into Softwood, panting like crazy and his legs covered in sand, ash, and dust. He laid down, catching his breath while looking around. Everything was okay for now. He laid there for quite a long time until he forced himself to get up and grab the lion pelts from earlier (plus 1 leopard pelt).
He trotted towards where Tau's family lived and found adolescents like himself and newborn cubs. He hadn't realized it before, but they looked....so much like him. He dumped the pelts inside the den, looking at them.

Desta had been having a nice nap when she felt a new pelt and a new scent. Her little eyes cracked open with a grumble to gaze on a white pelt with orange spots. She cried at first in surprise and fear, mostly because this person smelled like mom! Mom is scary....But she also smelled like daddy! Maybe she wasn't bad or good? She could just be....okay.
The little cub looked at her, her head tilted. Then, she heard a large thump. She squealed in surprise, staring at the large leopon. He looked like Daddy, but he smelled funny! She snuggled tighter against Adeleke, staring at him.

Adeleke had watched her parents leave, happy to see that they seemed to be on better terms now, and turned her attention to her little siblings. But then Desta seemed to react negatively to her presence and she frowned, making a move to comfort her little sister, when suddenly Alibaster's son appeared, dropping some pelts into the den. She eyed him warily, and though she wasn't at all aggressive, the girl definitely didn't trust him. Putting a paw around Desta and gently hugging her, trying to comfort her, she eyed the male leopon. "Thanks. But maybe you should go now. You're scaring her." She looked down at Desta, licking the top of her head, much like her mother or father would do.

Chinyere shook his head, out of his thoughts. "Oh...yeah, sorry" he backed away, padding off to a shady spot underneath a tree and laid down. He curled up, staring at his side that had a slight gash in it from getting bashed against a rock in the water. He sighed. He wished Alibaster was here.

Nuru chuckled, laying down beside Khalfani. "Yep, you just can't survive without us," she teased, smirking just a little. She looked around for Sollux, spotting him with the leopon's children. Honestly, she had no idea what to do about her eldest son. Alibaster had met him before his own father, and formed a quick bond. Yet he seemed to hate Khalfani. It was a terrible situation, one she couldn't deal with right now.
Well, since he seemed safe enough with the elder cubs, she began to clean her mate. Nuru was far from faithful, having flirted with both Kenosi and quite a few other leopards, but he was her first. Even if he was still bratty and annoying sometimes.

Khalfani didn't know that Nuru flirted with others, though. They had an odd relationship, to be sure, but it had never occurred to him that she could ever be anything less than faithful to him. Even if she had abandoned him to give birth. He was enjoying her company now, though, and even if he was still hurt over Solluxander not liking him, he hoped that maybe, just maybe, they could have another litter, and the new cub might actually be closed to him. "Well, I don't mind being with you. I just wish we had a cub that would actually enjoy being around me..."

Nuru looked to Sollux again, sighing. "I know, it's a bit frustrating. But give him time, I'm sure he'll warm up to you eventually," she replied, licking his cheek. "Sollux is still very young, I doubt he'll even remember Alibaster in a few days. And...once he gets a bit bigger, I wouldn't mind having another litter." She winked, rubbing her head along his neck and face.
"Sollux, come over here please!" She called, looking over at her son. Hopefully she was right, and he wouldn't be too hostile towards his father. She didn't need a cub acting like Khal had when they first met!

Astennu had been lost in a daze as all the arguing took place. His father was attempting to comfort him and his siblings, and eventually Tau's attention had been grabbed by the youngest cubs. Astennu simply watched the squirming, whining creatures with interest, hearing their first words and not thinking twice about them. After a few moments his mother returned, eyes ablaze, and at that point Astennu was beyond confused. Mommy was angry with Daddy, which caused Adeleke to leave. When his sister returned, Mommy was better and Daddy left with Mommy.
Now they were left to themselves, the older siblings made to watch the younger ones. Another cat, a leopon, had approached, dropping pelts near them. Adeleke sent him away, and Astennu tilted his head curiously. "I don't know what's going on... is Mommy still angry at Daddy?" he asked, not sure of how to feel about the situation.

Nephthys had been asleep while her father interacted with her siblings, and she had woken up to the sound of Adeleke's voice. The white lipard cub still hadn't opened her eyes, and now that it was still somewhat dark, she tried. The small amount of light burned her eyes, earning a squeak from the tiny female. Another try succeeded, her brown eyes squinting as she looked around.
Her siblings were already speaking, Nephthys had slept through their little lesson. She let out a tiny growl of protest, shakily crawling over towards her older brother, Astennu. She batted at his nose, confused about what was going on.

Desta had been both grateful and sad that Adeleke sent the leopon that looked like daddy away. Though, she heard a new voice and peeked over Adeleke's shoulder to see her big brother, Astennu. He looked like mommy, and that was a bad thing! But at the same time, he was white, like daddy!
Were all of her older siblings just okay? She crawled out of Adeleke's grasp and crawled over to her big brother, staring up at him.

Adeleke sighed in relief as Chinyere. It wasn't that she had anything against him, but she wanted to avoid any conflict before it could start. As Astennu asked about their parents, she shrugged but smiled. "I don't think so. I think they're better now."
She looked to her little sister then and grinned, leaning down to nuzzle her as she batted at their brother's nose. "Hey there, Nephthys." Considering she had been here the whole time, she knew the little cub had missed speaking lessons, and figured she would continue the lessons. "Hey little sister, can you say that? Nephthys?"

Ambokile was still very angry and very confused. But as his siblings woke up, he sighed. He couldn't really be mad at them, could he? It wasn't their fault Daddy and Mommy were fighting, as far as he could tell. His little sister, Nephthys, who resembled him in coloring, was finally awake. He decided that MAYBE he could try talking to them a little. "G'morning, Nephy," he said, giving the cub a nickname right of the bat.

"What'd you say to them?" he asked Adeleke, wondering what sort of sorcery she used to make their mother feel better. She had been absolutely enraged when she returned earlier, and somehow Adeleke had calmed her down. He briefly wondered what would have happened if Adeleke hadn't spoken with her.
His attention was garnered by the young white cub, Nephthys, smacking his nose with a tiny paw. "Nephthys, knock it off!" he laughed, pulling his head away. He watched curiously as Adeleke spoke to her, wondering if the little cub would be able to say her own name. Astennu had a hard enough time pronouncing it!

Nephthys was beginning to be overwhelmed by the sudden intake of information, many voices speaking at once. She whined quietly before hearing her sister's voice. Was Nephthys her name? Everyone was calling her 'Nephthys' so it must be her name! The white cub blinked a few times before furrowing her brows, concentrating on forming the right sounds.
"Nephhhh... Neeepppphhhhhhhh," she tried, squinting her eyes as she tried. It was taking all of her focus to get it right! "Thyyyys. Nephhh. Thysss. Nephhhthys. Nephthys?" she said, her tone turning to question her sister, as if asking if she had pronounced it correctly. Nephthys' tail twitched in confusion, wondering why she had such a confusing name!
