Kifa was going about her normal duties, trying not to think about Kwea or Amara. She was head back to the den when she caught Kwea's scent. She traveled towards it and was stopped in her tracks by what she saw. She watched the cubs play as Kwea and Amara watched. Kwea and Amara cuddled sweetly while Amara played with Kwea's mane. Her ears perked to hear them speaking. Kwea was talking sweetly to Amara. He wasn't demanding things of her he was just talking. Kifa drooped she really was trying to get used to this situation, but seeing this made her heart ache. She wanted him to speak like that to her...but he never would and she was sure of this. Kifa backed away from the sight, tears coming to her eyes. How could he always treat her this way? She moved quickly towards her favorite siting spot. She curled under the tree and tried to ignore what she had seen.
