"Hey, I'm just as lost as you are, 'Tani," Santiago said with a chuckle before giving the lioness a reassuring grin. "I'm just glad you're alright."
Santiago knew that Vitani could take care of herself, and yet he wanted to protect her as well. He wondered who the newcomers were, but that thought went to the backburner as Santiago did something completely impulsive.
"You had me worried there," Santiago started before nuzzling Vitani. Despite how impulsive his actions were, they felt so right. There was something about being with Vitani that just seemed to lift his spirits and make him feel content. "I...I don't know what I'd have done if something happened to you."

"I'm fine, daddy," Kiara replied sweetly as Kago bounded out of the den and up to his parents, laughing as he did so.
"Hey Grandpa. Are the hyenas gone?" Kago asked as he sat down and leaned up against Kovu.
"So, what was eating Santiago, Kovu?" Kiara asked as she turned her attention to her mate.

"So, do mind filling me in on how all of this started Santiago, or are you just as lost as I am here? Who are those new-comers too? You know, the leopard and, uh, I think I saw a cheetah there, but those things are always so tough to spot." Vitani exclaimed, as she rested for a brief moment to catch her breath. "I'M OKAY!!!" Bri yelled, voice cracking as she dragged herself to her feet. Still partially crosseyed, with Tourian's help, she stumbled back into the clearing, promptly and uncerimoniously collapsing into a loose sitting position. "Wha happaned?" She asked, shaking her head.

Kovu continued on to proceed forth, suddenly hearing Santiago's voice coming out of nowhere, immediately stopping dead in his tracks. Curious to know what was this about, Kovu was about to say something until he heard Santiago mention about he'll go look for Vitani. "You? Alright... Well, never mind, you can." Kovu didn't want to get in the bad side of his friend as he heard a familiar voice. It was none other than Vitani. Kovu was about to heed forward until he kept quiet and still, watching both Vitani and Santiago go about their chatter. Kovu felt quite uneasy about the situation, wanting to step forth to address what was going on. However, deep down, Kovu didn't want to ruin their reunion as he casually turned around, spotting a hyena in front of him. Kovu sighed, "Great... Just what I need too." He muttered, growling lowly before coming restless, lunging forward at the hyena in one swift motion, knocking it out with a large fore paw. Kovu grinned big, enjoying the feel of battle once more as he glanced behind him, looking at both Vitani and Santiago one last time before heading off where Kiara was at in the den.
Kovu noticed Simba coming, glancing over at the king with a smile as he felt Kago leaning up against him, listening to the two talk. Kovu didn't want Kago to feel any nervous or anything, gently placing a large fore paw over the cub's furry head, gently caressing those tiny ears of his. "Hey Simba, I haven't seen you in awhile. How is the hyena process coming along?" Kovu asked, sitting there quietly now.

"I was in the den, Dad," Kago said as he started to laugh. Kovu, in the cub's opinion, could be clueless sometimes. That being said, so could Kago, but nobody seemed to really call him out on it. Then again the same could be said for Kovu.
"Did you find Vitani?" Kiara asked as she nuzzled Kovu briefly. She had a feeling that the moment Kovu realized Vitani was gone, he'd go and find his sister to make sure she's okay. Since she didn't see Santiago with them she figured he was helping Vitani as usual. She didn't say anything be the princess had recently started to think that Santiago had a crush on her mate's sister.

Laini jumped at Arsalan's voice. She didn't quite know what to do. "I-I'm g-going to see Kago." she stuttered, just wanting an excuse to leave. Since he was watching her, she had to head back to the his den. She didn't want to enter, though she did, with practically everyone there. She sat close to the wall, in a corner so the risk of being addressed was at a minimum.

Ravenna walked a little closer and sighed. Trinket sighed and trotted next to her mother. "Mama, is this going to be somewhere to stay?" Ravenna nodded and licked her daughters head. "Its okay baby. Mama will find someone." she said softly. She loked around more. She could hear talking, but she didnt want to enter the land anymore then what she needed. She sighed and stopped. Her eyes glared around the area. Her slim body gently stood abover her daughter. She wanted to mew lightly, but she kept her muzzle shut. She didnt need anyone attckingher.

"Well, that was fun..... NAWT...." Bri snorted indignantly, as they were left by these lions so quickly, whom they'd tried to help before. "Hush Bri." Tourian gently and quietly reprimanded. "We'll just keep moving on then." He said. Their course exit-ward lead them (unwittingly) right to a likewise new mother and cub. They did not see her until they'd stumbled right into the clearing they were staying in.

Vitani smiled at Santiago, listening to her friend's words with perked up ears.
"Pfft, you think I was in any sort of danger Santiago? Heh, I thought you knew me better than that. It'd take a LOT more than a buch of dim-witted hyenas to bring me down." She snickered as she sudeenly felt Santiago's affectionate nuzzle.
Vitani always felt comfortable around Santiago, as they had been friends for quite some time now, but she was never reallyg ood with expressing her true feelings, and feeling Santiago's unexpected display of affection, Vitani was taken aback momentarily.
"Erm...well, I'm okay Santiago. Thanks for thinking about me though. You know I've..." Vitani started to say, but was cut short, as her eyes darted to the side, catching sight of yet another unfamiliar sight.
"Hey Santiago, you see that?" Vitani whispered, pointing a paw towards a younger looking lioness and a cub, off in the distance, not too far from where they were positioned.
Vitani wasn't the type to think before acting, as she quickly stood up on all four paws, making her way towards to two strange looking lions.
"Hey you two. What business do you have here in The Pride Lands?" She spoke in a stern tone.

Bri and Tourian turned, huddling a tiny bit closer, also feeling strongly ostricized. "We dunno ourselves, actually...." Bri said, the only one to speak for them so far. "Even though ya'll have SUCH good visitor's benefits..." She said, ready to run again. Tourian simply sat behind her, mouthing "She's a little cranky. Hasn't slept or ate for almost a day."

Santiago bit his lip and resisted the urge to sigh as he stood up. Based on the way that Vitani had reacted to his nuzzle, she didn't seem to feel the same way he did. Then again, maybe she was bottling her emotions up again. He put that aside as he turned and looked to the two newcomers, giving them a stern look as he waited to see what their response was.
Again, his impulse side-tracked him. "Look, I, uh, I'm sorry. I...shouldn't have done that," He whispered as he looked away. Ever since his former mate's tragic death, Santiago had been slow to really get close to another lioness and now, just when he seemed to be opening up, he ended up going too fast. Figures.

Ravennas ears perked up and she felt Trinket fall from the nervousness. She licked the cubs head and looked back at the lioness who spoke. She opened her mouth the first time and her nerves took over and nothing came out. She looked at her and took a deep breath. "My name is Ravenna, and my cubs name is Trinket." she looked down at her and then at Vitani. "She needs a place to stay. IO do to but...but im more worried about her to have somewhere. If theres room for both then thats fine. If not please take her." she said worridly. She hated talking about leaving her daughter. but she would. She smiled softly and looked back at Trinket who huddled against her leg.

Bri was about to cry, from such good parenting. "So kind. So devoted." She whimpered; Tourian agreed. "We'll go, if it means they can stay, and together..." He said, standing to leave them all. Bri did as well, eager to keep them together.

Laini argued with herself whether or not to attract Kago's attention. She finally decided to tap him, just to see if he wanted to try talking to her again. If he didn't, she'd probably leave. What else was there for her?

Kovu sat there quietly, looking over at Kiara, listening in to what she was saying as he looked down a bit, not wanting to express how he truly felt. "No, I didn't find Vitani. Santiago went off to find her, I'm sure he did however." Kovu forced a smile, nuzzling Kiara back briefly as he glanced down at Kago, continuing to massage the cub's little ears before running one large fore paw down his fragile, tiny back. "I'm glad you're all safe. I need some time alone at the moment. I'll be by the waterhole, I'm thirty anyway." Kovu said softly, giving Kiara a quick nuzzle, along with Kago as he purred.
Kovu shook out his blackish mane, beginning to pad off towards where the waterhole's location is. He hadn't felt so weird lately until the situation with Vitani and Santiago, along with Santiago's actions. Kovu couldn't lay a paw finger on what the whole thing is about but he had some idea. Kovu continued on padding, finally reaching where the waterhole is, taking a seat near the edge, leaning down to take a few laps with his raspy, wet, pink, feline tongue. Purring in delight, Kovu quenched his thirst and sat there momentarily, licking over his muzzle lips.

"Oh, hey Laini, there you are," Kago said as he whirled around and came face-to-face with the cub. He gave her a warm smile as he sat down, "What's up?"

Vitani kept a sharp eye on the young lioness and her cub. She also spotted the two other big cats that had aided them in the previous fight. She called out to those two, not wanting them to think that no one had noticed their kind efforts.
"Hey, um, you two, leopard and cheetah. Sorry, I didn't catch your names, but thanks for your help with the hyenas, not as if we were in any desperate need of assistance, but none-the-less, thanks for helping us out. I'm sure, if you need a place to stay for the night, you'd be best to ask Simba, the head-hancho here in The Pride Lands. He's most likely over at that huge pointy rock, he calls a home. If you want, you can go ask him to stay here for a bit." Vitani said, as she turned her attention back to her old friend, Santiago.
Vitani's ears picked up Santiago's faint whispers. She frowned slightly, thinking that she had upset him in some way or another.
"Um, there's no need to apologize Santiago. You didn't do anything wrong." Vitani said, shifting her paws in the dirt below her nervously. She really wanted to get closer to Santiago, but due to her rough past as an Outlander, she always seemed to have trouble expressing herself. Despite this fact though, she did her best to reassure her friend that she wasn't upset by his actions.
"Hey, you know Santiago, we haven't had a good fight like that in a while now, huh? Kinda makes the day seem more fulfilling in a way, huh?" Vitani said, trying to lift the situation in a more positive nature.
Vitani heard the voice of the young lioness, quickly adding in.
"Well, same goes for you too then as well. Go ask Simba if you can stay here. Jeez, what's with today and new-comers to The Pride Lands" Vitani grumbled, quickly changing her tone, as not to upset any of them
"Sorry, please ignore my rudeness. My name is Vitani, and this here, is my friend Santiago." Vitani retorted as she gently nudged Santiago with a paw.
