"Of course Tamu would go after him." Tiifu sighed dreamily. "They'd be perfect for eachother." She hummed, sitting down and curling her tail up around her paws. "I don't really have anything else." She sighed, tilting her head for a moment. Then she grinned over at Zuri. "Anything on your side?" She hummed, tucking her paws neatly in front of her, and her tail curled over them.

Kila sighed gently as she watched Koja. Then her eyes flickered toward a leopardess that was making her way toward the lion, and the stab in her chest was surprising. But she shook it off and turned away, though her ears folded halfway against her head and stayed like that. She listened as Vexy and Jelani spoke to eachother, but stayed completely silent, her whiskers twitching. She couldn't like Koja, anyway. He was just another lion. He didn't matter. Besides, she didn't even know him. She couldn't like someone she didn't know, right?

Vexy grinned cheerfully at Jelani, ears pricked happily. "Great to hear! Oh - I'm doing wonderful, thank you." She purred gently, glancing at Kila for a moment. Her ears flicked. "Something wrong, 'La?"

"Hm?" Kila blinked, snapped from her thoughts. "Oh, no. I'm fine." She assured. Vexy raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.

"Okay." The lioness cub smiled suddenly, her eyes sparkling brilliantly. "Vincent and Chaka were arguing again - I decided I needed some girl time! So, what are you two up to?"


~~~O3O~~~


For a few long moments, nobody spoke. Nigel's gaze locked with Kion's, and Sam silently slipped forward, circling around to stand beside the cub. Kion noticed, and his shoulders twitched momentarily, a tortured look flashing across his face as his gazed darted once behind him, then back to Nigel. His amber eyes narrowed, glancing at his brother for a second as Kopa spoke. Why would he be excited? At all? His gaze shifted back to the remaining two, and a hiss slid through his teeth as Nigel took a small step forward. "Why don't you striped rats go back where you belong?"

Ouch, that came out a little harsher than he intended. No matter. This was a tiger.

"Why don't you...." Sam took the chance while Kion's attention was focused on Nigel, sliding up beside the cub now. The older tiger's fur brushed against Kion's, and the cub visibly flinched, jerking away instinctively, but he didn't get too far, his unsheathed claws holding him to the ground. Sam's lips tugged into a slightest of smiles, leaning in close. "Show a little respect, Runt."

"Yeah." Nigel chided, and Kion's gaze shifted toward him immediately. "What would Lucifer think of this new attitude? Wouldn't wanna let him down." Lissie stayed silent, but nodded her agreement, smiling brilliantly.

Kion felt a shiver run down his spine as soon as Nigel said Lucifer's name, his ears flattening down against his skull. The anger faded all at once from his expression, leaving behind only horror and fear. His gaze flickered up to Sam, then Nigel again, before he squeezed his eyes shut. If his heart was pounding fast before, it was nothing compared to the way it beat now. He didn't like this. He didn't like being surrounded by tigers. Wait. No. He wasn't the only one. Kopa's here too. Kion's eyes snapped open, his amber gaze darting toward his brother again. They were both surrounded by tigers. Hevi kabisa.. Kion's tail flicked nervously, glancing at the tigers before his gaze turned back to his brother again. "So - Ah - Why did you bring these three here?"
