Aspros pulled a fur over her head and tried to ignore the world. She did not like being alone in this big den anymore, she was unhappy about Kari not staying with her, and while she had agreed to carry cubs for him so that he and her father could have "children of their own," she was all the more sad that she could not have company in the big den she had taken. Why had she had to keep Kari when he showed up? She should have let her sisters and mother deal with him so that she didn't get attached.
Aspros knew she was badluck, and while she knew Kari would say otherwise, she was CERTAIN that his not staying anymore was because he had realized this as well. Why would one want to live with a badluck lioness? She was sure that had she not been the only one in the litter to look like her father, they would have been much more worried about her badluck passing to any potential cubs. They were taking a big risk by having HER be the chosen mother for Kari's cubs, but that was little comfort right now.
Right now, Aspros was willing the sun to go back down so she could hide in the dark peaceful bliss of night. She had been having a wonderful dream of being snuggled up to someone. She didn't know who, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was how nice it had felt, and how realistic. There was nothing in the world as nice as that feeling, so she wished to go back to sleep and recapture it. It never occurred to the lioness that Kari was likely coming to visit today. She was too busy burrowing under a fur to really think about much.

Aspros had not heard the male enter, and having forgotten that he was going to be visiting, she was not expecting it either. The lioness jumped a little and poked her head out from under the fur. Her nose ended up going up against Kari's own as he attempted to nuzzle her. She blinked into his eyes. "Hello, Kari. Have you come to chance bad luck again? One might think you have it in for yourself, you know." She gave him a cheeky grin to try to hide the fact that she had just woken up and forgotten his visit. He wouldn't notice, right? Okay so she knew otherwise, but she was trying not to be a complete embarrassment.
"I'll try not to share my luck... I am sure Fuu would not appreciate it if I did." Aspros sat up a bit and pulled the fur around herself a bit more. She normally was not cold, but right now she did not want to expose herself to the air outside her fur. It was toasty warm under here and she liked it. It rather reminded her of the feeling the dream had given her. Warm, safe, and loved was such a nice combination. She might not be able to get all of those, but she had the warm from the fur, and she was safe with Kari around.

Normally Aspros would have protested being covered so heavily, since she was accustomed to the cold. But it felt nice to be snuggled up to someone and extra warm today. "He is related to me, I am sure that affects his luck even when he is nowhere near me." She licked Kari's ear and nuzzled his cheek. "I am fine, really... I am warm now. I am sure the chill was just because of my dream." This, she was certain, would be the only way she got anywhere close to the feeling she had in the dream, and it was nice.
Aspros wondered how long it would be until she had cubs for Kari and her father to raise. They would do wonderfully with the litter, she was sure, and with two wonderful parents like them, the cubs certainly would not have to worry about having Aspros as a mother. She still doubted her own ability to be a good mother, and did not understand how her mother had done it alone with her and her siblings. It was a miracle Aspros' mother was still sane. "The warmth is nice, thank you."

He let a rumbling purr free at her licks, glad that she seemed to be alright but still secretly worried. Though he didn't repeat his query, not wanting to upset her and instead shifted closer, curling his tail about her body protectively. He wouldn't have minded Fuuen joining them, since the secure male had always helped Kri feel grounded and secure, and honestly he simply missed the bigger Tom when Fuu was away. But he had thought his mate had talked about hunting, especially since Aspros was now eating for several of them.
Instead he checked the blankets over her were secure and settled down, chin resting across his paws, gaze on the female beside him. She was still a miricle to him, and soon she would birth his and Fuu's cubs.
"Why don't you rest, Assi?" He murmured softly, using the nickname he had fondly dubbed her with.
