Even as she returned to the rock, Lothril's keen ears caught Nkira's reply, though she said nothing. Now examining the family again, she quickly noticed that the lioness ate very little of the bird, causing a frown to cross her face. Whether Nkira was hungry or not, she needed to eat. But the new mother had already fallen asleep, and Lothril had not the heart to wake her. Casting her gaze to Deimos, it made her happier to see that at least he knew when he needed food.
Golden eyes then rested on the young female, Nikita. Although her father also watched her, it would do well to have at least one other adult keeping an eye out. The cub was a part of the pride now, and all pride members must be protected. But...would they stay a part of the pride? Ah, now that was a question that needed answering, and soon.
Although not wishing to get up yet again, Lothril did not want to wake Nkira. So once again pushing to her feet, the Queen neared the male, stride slow but purposeful. Splashing through water without a care, she halted a few feet from him, shifting her weight to her haunches as they met the earth. Gaze cool, she spoke softly, though with power. So do you know what you will do now? I assume you know that I will not allow you to be king again--but will your family stay as members of the pride?
