"You're welcome," the lioness replied smoothly, the ultimate figure of graciousness as she smiled down gently at the little cub. Perfect. Children were so easy to mold, at this age, so readily impressionable ... the goddess simply hoped this child would continue to be so as she grew older. "And thank you, little one." It was a bit irksome to be called 'grandma,' a very casual title, but she decided to allow it, for the moment. After all, if she was coming back into the pride, it would only be natural for 'Karama' to be called such things by her grandchildren. Eventually, she hoped they'd call her something else once more: Goddess.
She leaned down and nudged the crimson-pelted cub with her nose, eyes flawlessly innocent, gentle, and sweet. "Come, little one. It's been a long time since I was home - would you please show me around?"
