"I'm fine," Abeni growled, glare following Anan as he left. A moment later she turned away, heading for the den. She didn't go inside it, instead launching herself up into the branches above. She padded out onto one of the long hanging branches, laying down and letting one paw dangle off. Her stomach was growing steadily, and she was beginning to sense the life growing inside her.
She couldn't help but smirk to herself, thinking of the time when they would be born. Tau would pay for his sins against them with the lives of his children. Unlike most mothers, she didn't see these cubs as her own. As far as she was concerned her body was only an incubator for revenge.

Chinyere nodded at Abeni before watching her launch up a tree. He sighed quietly, breathing deeply before padding under a tree and jumping up it. He laid on a low hanging branch, his paws tucked neatly underneath his chest and his tail wrapped around his hind legs.
He watched everybody from above and noticed one of Baneth's cubs running away from a leopard and the one that looked similar to him. Plus Baneth.

Sollux nodded, feeling a little less angry at his father. "Oh, okay," he said simply. "I'm gonna go play," he declared, scrambling off Nuru's back and heading for the den. Abeni and Chinyere were mad, so he decided that the three cubs he had met earlier would be his best playmates.
The little bicolored cub scrambled back towards the den, tripping straight into Adeleke in his eagerness. He let out a soft 'oof!' before scooting back and looking up at her. She was older than him, of course, but she had some of the same colors he did. She was kinda pretty!
"'M Sollux," he said, introducing himself shyly. He hadn't actually gotten to speak to her in their first meeting, so he was a little shy. Lucky for her he was in one of his good moods.

Khalfani had been watching Alibaster's children argue, and was half tempted to bring up that Abeni had told him to hit her. But he kept quiet, turning back to his son again, just in time for him to rush off. Well, at least he wasn't angry at him now. Sighing, he turned back to Nuru and smiled tiredly. "It's really noisy around here, isn't it?" Being a leopard, Khalfani loved peace and quiet, but sadly, it seemed he wasn't going to get any of that around here. Ah well. Not like he really had a choice, being as injured as he was.

Nuru nodded, watching her son run off. "Yeah it is," She had the same inclination as Khalfani, it was FAR too loud for her taste. "If you feel up to it, maybe we could go to Lake Keto in a bit? I just need to eat something first." She stood up, padding over to Tima's corpse. Hopefully her stomach would cooperate and allow her to eat without throwing up in front of everyone. She ripped off a large chunk, chewing and swallowing slowly.

Apparently her stomach was feeling merciful today. She usually ate alone for fear of revealing her internal sickness, but she was so hungry that finding a secluded spot wasn't really an option right now.

Adeleke gasped when Desta squirmed away and started running, but before she could do anything about it, suddenly Solluxander ran into her, and she looked back at him with a frown. So many cubs running around! As much as she loved her siblings, she really hoped Mom and Dad would wait a while before having any more. She couldn't handle this!
But despite her inner panic, Adeleke remained outwardly calm. "Hey there. Where's your mom and dad?" She looked around for them, and saw them sitting a ways off, but they weren't going after him. Sighing, she looked at her parents apologetically. They'd have to get Desta while she made sure Solluxander wasn't getting into any trouble, since Khalfani and Nuru weren't watching him. "I'm Adeleke. What are you up to?"

Baneth snorted at Abeni's reply. "Such 'loyalty' to your pride... just like how Alibaster killed his own pride leader... shame," she said sarcastically, scowling at the young leopon. It sickened the leopardess to think of her mate's cubs growing in such a disgusting creature. Baneth knew Abeni was up to something, but she hadn't figured out what yet.
She sighed as Desta protested returning to the den, the mother not stopping to coerce her child into following the others. Her ears flicked up as an argument filled the air; the leopons were arguing. Abeni had been yelling at Anan, and when she struck out, Baneth rushed over. "MUSOKE!" she called, growling at the young female. "Keep watch over this beast until she learns manners and respect for her pridemates!" she bellowed, before turning tail and walking back to her children.
Finally, Baneth padded back into the den, pulling her cubs close. Desta still wouldn't come near her, and the leopardess sighed. "Desta, I will not harm you. There have been things going on that a cub as young as yourself would not understand... please, come inside," she said quietly, looking to her daughter with sympathetic eyes. "You need to eat, my dear, please," she murmured, her voice nearly pleading. Baneth was beginning to feel hopeless with Desta.

Tau saw his mate and daughter having trouble with Adeleke, and with a sigh he got up to fetch her, very gently picking the cub up in his teeth before carrying her back toward the den, near Baneth. Once he was there, he very gently set her down, but pulled her close with his paw so that while she was near her mother, she might still feel protected in her father's presence. "Sweetheart, I know you're scared of Mommy, but I promise you, she's not going to harm you. She loves you, just as much as I do. Mommy and I were having... problems earlier, but it's over now, I promise." He leaned down, nuzzling his daughter gently. "Just walk up to her, okay? You need to eat, anyway."

Sollux only shrugged, watching Desta run away. "'m bored. Chinyere said Ali wasn't comin' back, and everybody else is mad," he finally said, looking up at Abeni were she was laying in the tree branches. Chinyere had followed her up there, so he couldn't play with either of them, and Khalfani was hurt, and Nuru was being boring.

Desta was about to hiss some more at mother before daddy came over and set her in the den. She shook her head "No, she's mean and loud! When I first saw her, she had that weird red stuff on her paws that made her look scary!" She pouted
The little cub huffed "And I don't need to eat! I don't want to eat from mum!" she cried, scooting as far away from Baneth as possible.

Astennu frowned as Desta rejected their mother. She had been through a lot, and while the cub was still confused, he at least understood that they were trying to fix things. "Desta, please! She's the only way you can eat, you have to. Mom's not bad, I promise," he said quietly, approaching her cautiously. He wasn't sure if Desta would attack or not, so he kept a safe distance from her.

Desta started growling at Astennu, a burning hatred growing deep inside her stomach. She looked around in anger, slowly backing up into a corner. Why was everybody telling her to go to mom when she was obviously bad?!
She unsheathed her tiny claws, even though she wouldn't hit, she was hoping just to get them away!

Nephthys scurried back to her mother on wobbly legs, nearly falling on top of her mother's belly. She began to nurse, unaware of the argument between her sister and her mother. She didn't understand, but she knew they were angry. At least, Desta was angry. Why was she angry at Mom? Mom gave them milk! And warmth! Nephthys tried to ignore the fighting.

Tau sighed, pulling Desta closer to him again. "You have to eat, Desta. You don't have a choice." He looked at Baneth apologetically. "Come on. Mommy loves you so much, Desta. She and I both made mistakes, but it's over now." To be honest, Tau was getting rather annoyed. At the very least, perhaps Baneth would have a little more experience with a bratty child. She did raise Khalfani, after all.

"C'mon Desta, I'll go with you. Mom isn't scary! She's trying to apologize," he said quietly, glancing to his mother. He stood on his paws, waving a tiny paw towards her, motioning for her to come with him. He then looked to his father, who was also trying very hard. "Dad, when we get Desta to eat, I want food too, but... I don't want milk anymore," he said, confused by his own words. "Can I eat other stuff too?" he asked finally, wondering what he could eat.
