Lara snapped around. " Dika, get behind me". The lioness stared at the male lion " What do you want, Ravel!" she growled " Just go back to your meeting. We were just leaving!"

Ravel raised his eyebrows. ''Alright then,'' he said, sternly, and was just going to leave, when he thought of something, '' what were you doing around these parts anyway?" he asked.

Dika stepped away from Lara " Um...Sir, it was my fault. I just wanted to see what it was like on the other side. I didn't know you were having a meeting " She looked at the ground in fear." Dika!" Lara put her paw over the cubs mouth " We don't need to apologies to him ".

Ravel frowned, then looked down at Dika. ''You are forgiven,'' he said, ignoring Lara's words, ''are you hungry?" Ravel asked Dika, kindly.

The cub bounced up and pushed away Lara's paw. " I'm very hungry!" she purred and rubbed her belly " But you have to get back! and Lara can feed me ". Dika looked up at the lion.

Ravel laughed. ''Very well then,'' he said, then turned and walked back to the meeting. Occasionally looking back at the two.

Dika waved goodbye. Lara quickly snapped at the cub " What was that!" the lioness shook her head in disappointment " He's the leader of another prid-" " Lara, I know that. But were alone. We have no one to lead us. It's just us two. Don't you want to be protected instead of being the protector" Dika sighed and pawed at the her arm.

Ravel had got back to the meeting, but did not speak a word, as he was deep in thought.

" I don't want freedom I want to be ruled " Dika padded Lara " Now about being hungry" she smirked " Do you have anything?". " Well I do have a bone. I could go out and hunt" You know what it will be my gift to you". The orange lion rubbed her face against the cub before taking off " I'll be back".

Obbler and Romy had meanwhile gone to seat themselves by a palm tree until the meeting was over. Romy, feeling very hot and rather bothered (the palm did not offer much shade), lay down on her father's forepaws and looked up at his hard-looking face questioningly.

'Daddy?'
'Yes, Romes?'
'Why are we here?'

Obbler nudged his daughter fondly. 'Business. Our pride needs more lions. I'm planning on making Ravel an offer - ask him whether his own pride is too full. If so, some of Ravel's lions might join our pride.'

'Ah,' said Romy. She was quiet for a while. 'Can I go play with Kelly - quietly?' she asked at length.

'Go on.'

Romy jumped up and toddled over to her friend.

Dika flicked her half tail. " So bored " she sighed as her eyes moved towards Romy " What's a cub doing over here? I've never seen another cub. Besides fo- she stopped talking as she saw the cub start walking over to another cub " Friends?"

( May I join with The Creep and Lagiza? They both will be cubs here =))

Pawface: Sure! )

''Well then!'' said Ravel,''that's it I guess. Any questions?," he asked the Superior Pride members.

Obbler spoke up.

'If nobody has any, I have,' he said, nodding to Ravel.

'Come back' I!' came a sharp and worried voice. Pelting towards Obbler at full speed was a tiny black cub with large chestnut eyes, and running and calling behind him, was a larger cub with dusty brown fur. Then brown cub, whom had cried out to the tiny one, tried to snatch the black cub, but it was too quick, with one big bound the little cub landed infront of Obbler, sending dust into the big lion's face.

'Hawo,' said the black cub, beaming at Obbler.

(Thanks, sis!)
