![User Image](https://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac280/CoffeSoA/Certs/cedderwynjuvecert.jpg) The sun was really bright on her eyes today. Squinting hard, Cedderwyn wandered out of her den for the first time this morning and stretched herself out. Her father seemed to be gone today and her den mothers weren't anywhere in sight. A frown appeared on the girl's face as her unmatching eyes scanned the areas she could see. Red paws moved forward until she came up on a big rock, in which she climbed and perched herself on it to see what Banu's did through out the day. She was supposed to be learning for when she was old enough to have a Pad of her own that wasn't her father... But since her mother was always gone, even at night, and she wasn't comfortable asking one of the other Banu in the den, it would seem she needed to find a Banu she was comfortable with.
Jumping down from the rock, the girl moved through the pride silently, pausing to stop to watch mothers interact with their cubs. These scenes often put a pang in her heart. Why wouldn't mommy play with her and her siblings like that? Why was mom always gone? Another frown came to her face.
No one seemed to notice her. Or if they did they gave her a strange sort of look and then paid no more attention to her. "Am I supposed to be wandering by myself?" She asked herself out loud. Her voice was high pitched, like every cubs was, and laced with doubt and sadness.

Pavi "Not really, little one, but you're not by yourself now," came a soft, kind, almost motherly voice from behind the cub. Parvana was a large lioness, daughter of a vizier, Bey to the son of the other vizier, niece to the sultan. There was a veil over her maw, as it always was when she wasn't leading her harem-sisters in a hunt, as she wasn't now. The little banu had wandered her way into Obi's part of the pridelands, Pavi coming across the cub while she was stretching her legs. She didn't recognize the little girl's coat, but then there were so many lions in the pride, she could hardly keep track. "What's your name?" she asked, lowering herself closer to the cub's level, a smile on her face.

The voice caught her by surprise. Her fur stood up on end and she let out a yelp as she pressed herself closer to the ground. Now she was in trouble! That wasn't supposed to happen! Clearing her throat, she opened her purple eye first, then her silver to see a very pretty blue lioness with a veil on her muzzle. Oh, she wanted something like that, too! Her ears flicked this way and that way before she sighed and hung her head. She was in trouble. Cedderwyn just knew it! Well, maybe not. She didn't know she couldn't wander by herself, no one had told her that!
"I'm.. Cedderwyn. My parents are Elam and Mirima..." She listend off her parents because, for some reason, she always heard the others ask cubs about who their parents were. To keep track of things, she supposed. "I didn't know I couldn't wander... Momma isn't home, ever, and my daddy does... whatever he does all the time.. So I'm sorry! Don't punish me!" Her voice wavered, as if on the verge of tears.

Pavi The cub moved away and Pavi smiled while she dried her eyes, waiting to see what she was doing out here. "Oh, well, that really is something your mothers should teach you, but it wouldn't be uncommon if they were too busy, a banu's life is, after all," she replied in that soft tone. She was often the role of mother, her Obi had a several cubs, though none hers yet. She spent most of her time with her duties and when the day was over she was perfectly content to curl up with the love of her life and sleep. Not that they hadn't tried, she just knew that the time just wasn't right. When it was, the gods would bless them with cubs. "There are a lot of things banu do. We make sure our pad is happy, that the den is clean and the cubs taken care of. I think the most important thing, though, is that we're the huntresses. We go out and get the food to feed our families. And Beybanu," she puffed up there, looking very proud of her role, "We are the ones who organize the hunts, if it is singular or in groups, who takes what position, who stays at home to look after you cubs. And if it's a group hunt, we lead."

"Oh, well, then... Yeah, it would probably be good to work with your siblings on it. Practice sneaking up on them and pouncing them. Chase each other around, things like that. I don't know what your brothers are like, so if they're a little touchy, just practice with your sisters. My brothers didn't much care for us girls pretending to hunt them, so we just worked with each other," Pavi replied with a nod.
And they hadn't, not really. Her father didn't care, he'd gotten his tail pounced several hundred times by her sisters in their cub years. But then, her mothers were also there to help her and her sisters learn how to hunt. She couldn't imagine how lax this girl's mothers were, if they weren't going to teach their daughters how to hunt.
