.: About Sliabh :.Stoic and steady, Sliabh can sometimes be mistaken for being a little dim or slow. But in reality he is an intelligent and swift-minded individual. The main reason he is mistaken as less able than he is, is the fact that he has a reserved and quiet personality, rarely speaking outside of what is required, though when he does he is as polite and as soft-spoken as can be. A true gentle giant, his secret pleasure is watching the cubs at play, and when he gets a few hours off-duty, he will go down and sit among the cubs, letting them crawl all over him and chase his tail or bite his ears. Having his own cubs has fulfilled one of Sliabh’s biggest dreams, whether they are adopted, born of a rogue or when he eventually has his own litter with his to-be mate Eva’raja, he loves them all. Sliabh is devoted to his pride, but even more so to his secret love Eva'raja. Shy and adorably awkward around her he nevertheless would move the sun and the moon if she asked him to.
.: The situation :.Sliabh adopted three young cubs who had been abandoned by their mother on the boarder of the land. He met Haruma when he went to watch the cubs playing on one of his breaks and as the pair got to know each other and formed a bond, the young female decided he was to be their new father. She asked and he accepted. From that day forward he has considered all three youngsters as his own.
Shortly after he took the cubs under his wing, his Queen asked him to go out into the rogue lands and procure cubs for the pride. It was that night, as he was getting ready to leave the pride that his long-time crush, Eva’raja, told him that she loved him. Overjoyed he confessed his own feelings to her but their celebration was short and bitter sweet as Sliabh still had to leave for the rogue lands. He stayed long enough to settle his adopted children in with Eva, needing them to be together and safe before he could even think of leaving.
Sliabh set out with a heavy heart but a clear mind, despite the pain that the thought of being away from his new family gave him. He knew what he had to do and would not fail his Queen or his pride. His first rogue litter was something of an accident (Mix & match pairing) but resulted in three healthy and robust baby girls. His second litter with a lovely pale lioness named Zenobia who gave him 7 cubs, 4 boys and 3 girls. Six of the seven would return with him to the K’A.
Each time he stayed with the mother while she carried his cubs, hunted for her and protected her. Once the cubs were born he continued to do so, providing for the small family until the cubs were old enough to travail the long distance back with him. Each female had the option to keep one or two cub with her but the majority always returns with him.
He has been back to the K’A twice now, bringing back two litters to be brought up by the pride nannies. Each time he visits he checks up on his eldest cubs, spending as much time with them as he can, playing with them and making sure they are growing up as healthy and as happily as possible. However much of his time is spent with Eva, reaffirming their newly established bond and just spending what time they can together. He stays with his family for about a month each visit, and hates to leave but knows he has to. He has two more trips planned (two breedings oocly arranged) before he intends to go back home. He misses Eva, and Haruma and her siblings and worries desperately that he is missing out on the young cubs growing up.
Once home he fully intends to ask Eva to become his mate publicly, and to bring all his children together in one big family den, so long as Eva agrees. He will take up his elder cubs education and resume his duties as Guard to the pride.
