Akatta kept considering the current problem in her head even as Aruná changed the subject. It was something that she would like to see resolved as quickly as possible before anything tragic occurred or before the situation became even more complicated – like Aruná’s sister being claimed.
“Both, I suppose. It depends on the mother or the family. When cubs are very little, their mothers will have a more active role in their lives but as they grow, they will be increasingly supervised by the thralls. A good Reaver will provide his wife with one or more thralls for that purpose but unclaimed thralls can also be used for babysitting.” A good husband, Njal had already given her a perfect thrall for the task and they didn’t even have cubs yet. “When I have cubs, I will want to put all my time into raising them… especially considering Njal will be so busy with his Warlord duties from now on.”
The dark lioness paused, straightening herself up as if she was getting ready to stand.
“I think… we should handle your problem as soon as possible, dear. We could go get your sister now and then I can introduce you to some of the older families. It will be good for you to meet them and if your sister is with you, the fact that she is yours will quickly become known.” The whole matter was weighing heavily on her mind. “Whether or not you wish to tell anyone she is your sister is entirely up to you, of course.”
-------------------------------
Norolim had given up on having a nice quiet day. It seemed clear Akatta was going to waste as much time as she deemed necessary with this stranger’s problems. A trip around the pride would probably involved her as well and she wasn’t exactly thrilled by the idea of running around the pride being evaluated or rudely ignored by these inferior felines.
She had also had grown bored of this whole subject throughout the brief conversation. It was interesting, yes, but not exactly an isolated incident as Norolim remembered one white thrall with patches who had a Reaver brother. So yes, bored now.

Mogami I wonder why I get stuck on last posts so often. Very annoying... Sorry!
Having cubs felt foreign to her. She could see that it was an important part of the life of a freeborn lioness, but she wasn't ready. For now it was more important to help Udongo than to think about cubs or males. She still intended to try to get in touch with Cythraul as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but he knew that she had an important task ahead of her.
"That would be great," Aruná said, "You're too kind!"
She was already on her feet. Aruná wondered if it would have been more polite to wait for Akatta to rise, but a huge weight had lifted from her chest and it was hard to remain sitting. She had all four paws on the ground, but it felt as if she was floating in the air.
"Do you want me to lead the way?"

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.” Akatta said with a smile, pleased that Aruná looked so greatful. She couldn’t even say no to her question even though she felt it would be best for her to lead the way. “If you could, dear, that’d be lovely.”
He hesitated only a moment as she eyed her thrall, wondering what to do about it.
“You will come with us, Norolim.” She said at last before catching up with the other lioness. “Let us go, my friend.”
-----------------------------------
Oh, great. Now they really going to run around the pride like a bunch of idiots with Akatta still not feeling well. Honestly, lion were just beasts.
“Of course, ma’am.” She said obediently –well, as obediently as Norolim could that is – but her showed hints of disapproval that Akatta seemed to ignore. She sighed quietly and followed after the lionesses. - FIN -
