Jamall hopped off Nala the moment he saw Sky. He walked up to his little sister and nuzzled her lovingly. She giggled and playfully tapped his nose with her forepaw. Her way of silently telling him that she's fine. Jamall smiled, laughed, then turned and looked up at Nala. "OK..." He replied, turning to head outside the den. He was a independent fellow, he liked doing things on his own. In fact, given a little time, he could probably even heal most of his own wounds. But he knew it was best to follow Nala's instructions, so he waited for her to pick him up once more. [For one of his legs hurt just a little when he jumped or ran, so it was better to just be picked up.]
Simba smiled and nodded at Nala, then as Sky and Jamall 'spoke' without any words. He had to wonder what Jamall would be like. He wanted to get to know the boy.

Nala watched the cubs and smiled at Simba. She licked his nose and stod up. "We'll be back." she said softly. She walked over to Jamall and picked him up. She placed him gently on her back and made sure that he was comfortable. She walked to the healers and showed them Jamall. They looked at his eyes and then his body. The one that would be ther forever would be the scratch. They layed him down, while Nala kept him occupied. They put berries and leaved over his cuts. 'It should heal in about two to three days.' they told both of them. Nala smiled and licked his head. She picked him up and started to head back for the den. When in the den, she took him and placed him with Sky. She looked at Simba and smiled. She looked at Jamall and gave him a small grin.

Jamall smiled faintly and remained quite as the healers went to work on him. Secretly, he was wishing it was his father healing him. His dad could have had the wounds patched up and healed in two hours flat. But... He liked Nala and the healers here just as much. Nala was kind and gentle, and so were the healers. When he was set down by Sky, he snuggled up against her, then looked up at Nala and Simba. "Thanks." He said softly, smiling warmly at the two.
Simba smiled and nuzzled Nala, then Jamall and Sky. He liked both the cubs, and he sensed that Jamall had a kind heart and strong mind. Perhaps, he thought, one day Jamall would make a fine ally for Kiara... Possibly even a mate. He had to admit, he liked the sound of that far better than her falling for a Rogue or that Outlander, Kovu. But that was years ahead. For now, he only had to worry about raising Kiara, and now Jamall and Sky.

Nala smiled and looked at Jamall. "Your Welcome." She then smiled and looked at Sky. She wondered when the last time theyhad actualy eaten was. She looked at Simba and then the cubs. "Are you two hungry?" she asked softly. She then raised an eye brow and looked around. "Simba, wheres our daughter?" she asked softly. She looked down at Jamall and Sky and licked both of their heads. She wondered if Kiara was going to care if they adopted Jamall and Sky.

Sky nodded and mewed happily. Jamall laughed and smiled. "Loosely translated, that's a yes." He replied, smiling at Nala. "I'm fine, though. I caught a fish at a river. I gave some to Sky, but she only stays full for three or four hours. She's weird." He laughed, playfully nudging his little sister. Sky mewed again, then shoved him back. She giggled, then hopped out of Simba's paws and waddled over to Nala.
Simba slightly raised one eyebrow at Sky. What a adorable girl. And she was probably going to be a very strong and beautiful lioness when she grew up. But he was thinking... Maybe Swafi would take in Jamall, while they took in his sister. That way the door was still open for him to arrange for Kiara to 'fall' for Jamall when they became adults. But would it be right to set that up? He didn't know... He didn't really like planning out people's lives, but... In this case, maybe he'd have to make an exception.

Nala smiled at Jamall and licked his head. "Okay..If you want something just tell us ok?" she said smiling. She looked down at Sky and smiled. "Sky...do you want Milk? or Meat?" she asked softly. Sky was probably just starting meat. She would let the youngster choose. Her eyes then darted over to Simba. What was he up to? She cleared her throat to get his attention. She then looked down at Sky and smiled.

Sky blushed a little, then replied "Milk." She was apparently a little embarressed to ask for it. Probably because her mother had been working really hard to get Sky used to meat, but... Sky still loved milk.
Jamall smiled and nodded. "Sure." He replied, laying down a few feet in front of Simba and a few feet away from Nala. He noticed that Simba seemed distant... He was thinking about something, but what?
Simba snapped out of it for a moment to smile at Nala, but otherwise he was still thinking about how to set this little plot of his up... It'd require Swafi's full co-operation. But that wouldn't be a problem, she had always wanted a son. And Jamall looked so much like her. She would undoubtedly leap at the chance to take him in.

Nala smiled and licked Skys head. She laughed softly and lifted Sky up. Nala gentky rolled half way on her side and layed Sky by her stomache. She nudged her slightly and licked her head. She then looked at Simba and sighed. What was he up to? He was starting to bug her a little. "Simba..." she said softly. She needed to seriously needed to talk to him later. She looked down at Jamall and smiled. "How are you feeling, Jamall?" she asked softly. She was going to ignore Simba for a while. Later on, they were going ot have a serious discussion.

Sky laid down by Nala's belly, smiled once up at the lioness, then she began to suckle milk from Nala.
Jamall smiled at Nala and shrugged a little. "Good." He replied, being completly honest. He was still shaken up over what happened to his parents, but... He was trying very hard to put his past behind him. "But... I gotta question. Does a older lioness named Jasmine live here?"
Simba glanced over at Nala again and smiled a little at her. He was still thinking... Maybe they could take Sky and Jamall in, but not officially adopt them. Or something like that. He just needed to find a way to... Wait, what was that about Jasmine? "Uh... Yes, she lives by herself in the den next to ours. Why do you ask?" Simba wondered if Jasmine was related to Jamall and Sky... Come to think of it, Sky did look a little like Jasmine. But then again, Sky also looked almost exactly like Nala did back when she was a cub.

Nala looked down at Jamall and raised an eyebrow but smiled. "Yes. I am very close to her." she said softly. She looked at SKy and smiled. She had forgotten how wonderful it felt to have a cub at your side. She smiled and licked her head. She then looked over down at Jamall. "Why do you ask?" she said softly. She looked out of the den and then back down to little Jamall. Dang...he was adorable.

Jamall smiled, then replied "Jasmine is our grandmother. Mom said that if... If anything ever happened, to come here and find her, or Aunt Swafi." He replied, smiling a little more. Sky stopped her suckling for a moment to look up at Jamall. "But I wanna stay with Na-la!" She mewed, snuggling up against Nala's belly and hiding her head in the Queen's soft fur.
Simba was amazed. No plotting needed! Jamall wanted to stay with Jasmine, or Swafi! And Sky wanted to stay here with Nala. Maybe this would work out perfectly... And maybe not...

Nala looked at Jamall then Simba. How come Simba seemed happy about that? She wasgetting angry with him now. She looked down at Sky and licked her head. "But I cant go against your mothers Wishes..." she said softly. She looked at Jamall and nodded. "Well...if thats what she wanted, then I guess we should go see them. You want your Aunt or Grandmother?" she asked softly. Her heart was being broken and she culdnt do anything about it. She looked down at Sky and picked her up. SHe placed her in her forepaws and licked her head. "You can comevisit when you want...I promise.." she sai smiling. "I never break a promise." she said sofltly. She licked her head again and purred softly. This was horrible.

Sky snuggled deep into Nala's chest and cried. "No, I not gonna leave you!" She whimpered, hugging her close. "Momma always said to live with who is best for us! And you is best for me!" She cried, wrapping her forelegs as best she could around Nala's chest and hugging herself close. Jamall smiled a little, then spoke up again. "Mom did say that if someone wanted to take us in, and we liked them, then to live with them..." He said softly. Secretly, he wanted badly to live with his godfather, Kell. Kell was amazing and cool, plus, Kell promised he would train Jamall how to be a strong warrior.

Nala looked at the cub. She sighed and looked at Jamall. "She might have said that....But the thing is...Jamall, do you want to stay with us?" she asked softly. She was afraid to hear the answer, but she wuld have to fix it either way. She sighed and licked SKys head. "Sky...Baby its okay." she said softly. She didnt know what she was going to do. She didnt bother asking Simba...who knew what he was going ot say.

Jamall took a moment, then he slowly nodded. "Please don't take offence, Nala... I like you and Simba both, but I just need to be with someone I've known my whole life for a while. But Sky I think is happier with you... Really though, what's the big deal? If I stay with Grandma, I'll just be sleeping one den down, that's it. I'll still be here every morning." He replied, smiling. Sky closed her eyes, snuggled up against Nala's warm chest. Her belly rumbled, but she absolutely refused to go somewhere that someone could move her, not until she was sure that she wouldn't have to leave Nala. She loved her too much!

Nala nodded and smiled. Well she knew that Sky wasmnt going to leave. Her dream for a son was once again gone. She nodded and licked Skyw head. "Well then, come one. Lets go see Gram. " she licked Skys head again. "You can stay with me." she said softly. She stood up and Lifted Sky and Jamall on her back. She looked at Simba and glred at him. She then turned and walked out of the den and to the entrance of Jasmines. "Jasmine?" she called out lightly.

Inside the den, one could hear something moving about. A crash sounded, then some rapid-fire, comical muttering about something invovling vases, a shelf, and a monkey. "I'm coming!" A soft voice called out. About thirty seconds later, a old but still beautiful and elegant-looking lioness came padding out, a smile on her face. "Hello Nala! What can I do fo... Jamall? Sky?"
Jamall smiled as his grandma cut herself off. "Hi!" He purred, hopping off Nala's back and padding up to Jasmine and weaving around her legs once, then nuzzling one of her forelegs. Sky nuzzled deep into Nala's shoulders, preferring to hide there, lest she be taken away from Nala. But after a while, she did peek out over Nala's head to smile at Jasmine. "Hiya!!" She giggled, barely poking her head out from around Nala's head.

(Sorry it's taken me so long)
"Of course" Eric said with sincerity but he didn't mean it. Then he struck. He knew that she didn't feel a thing because he had made it so she would not feel any pain. He sipped and sipped. Once Eric had had his fill and back off. He looked the lioness in the eyes. "You had a wonderful time to night" He said. "You stared had the stars and relaxed then you went back to your den and went to sleep.". This is the memory of the night that he gave her. Eric then decided to go and find Malum.

Nala smiled as he saw Jamall run to Jasmine. Nala felt Sky hide. She smiled slightly and looked back at Jasmine. "Hi....Listen. Jamall and Sky want to stay in the Pridelands. Jamall wants to go with you...Sky, doesn't want to leave me. " she said softly. She looed over and smiled at Sky. She gently grabbed her and placed her on the ground by her paws. She sat down and looked at Jamall. She smiled lightly and turned her head towards her den. She sighed and looked down at Sky. Shhe licked her head and smiled a small smiled towards Jasmine.

Swafi, when Eric had struck, didn't struggle or attempt to cast a spell on him to ward off his attack. In her view, she didn't care that he was drinking her lifeblood. She only thought of the warmth and peace she would be able to enjoy once he was finished. But she never got a chance to. When he finished, her memories were gone. "Ohh... Ye-yeah..." She mumbled, slowly staggering to her paws. With that, Swafi stumbled back to her den, outside Pride rock, where she collapsed atop a sleeping pelt and fell fast asleep.
Jasmine sighed and smiled. That was probably a good thing, in a way. She doubted that she could care for two cubs anymore. Kings know that taking care of her two daughters was hard enough when she was young. "Well... I will gladly help with Sky whenever you need it. But... Jamall, come here, I'd like to have a word with you in private." She replied, smiling. She then padded back into her den, and Jamall followed her. About ten mintues later, the two came out. Jamall had a small smile on his face, which blossomed into a overjoyed grin when he saw Nala. He padded up to her, and nuzzled her shoulder. Jasmine smiled at the sight, then padded up to Nala and whispered to her. "He needs a good, loving mother in his life. And only you fit the bill, Nala. And he knows that." She whispered, smiling warmly at her. In other words, Jasmine talked Jamall into living with Nala, and just coming to visit every now and then. She knew that would make Nala and Jamall both happy.
