Aoife was feeling a little bit....too stressed lately. She was doing her best to not let her distrust of Vitha drive her towards hatred, but she was getting very close to it. Aoife was a social butterfly, always happy and helpful to anyone that needed it. She felt like Vitha was the opposite, and the little shouting match they got into a couple months ago still made the creamy lioness flush with shame. How could she let herself lose her composure like that?
So, she decided to search out her mother. Perhaps she could offer some advice....but a large part of Aoife just wanted to lean on her mother, like she was a cub again. Being an adult was exciting and full of potential, but it was also a bit overwhelming. Sometimes she envied the cubs, scurrying around with only friendships and play being in the forefront of their minds.
Minds.....Tau came to mind the moment she thought of cubs. She knew that the young king seemed fond of her, but Aoife wasn't sure how she felt about anything, except knowing that Vitha was just wrong about everything. She felt her stomach flip a bit, and tried her best to push her thoughts aside while on the lookout for her mother. The last thing she wanted to do was burst into tears when she saw Otea; she would prefer to just greet her mother with a warm smile.

Otea had just come from JB's home after watching the eight children. They were not so little anymore, the lioness mused. The boys had just started growing tidbits of what would be their manes, and the girls were growing lankier, soon they would be groomed to be perfect little huntresses.
The older lioness walked through the paths of the pride, heading home. Her mind drifted to her parents, expecting (or perhaps they had already had them) the newest litter of cubs. She frowned. She did miss seeing the young ones roam around the den, and even contemplated having cubs again in the future. Right now, with what she heard from the council member, it probably wasn't the best idea. Nonetheless, she'd get her cub fill when she would visit her parents.
Her blue eyes scanned the terrain, noticing a familiar form before her. Otea liked to think she was close to all her children, even if she didn't see them on a daily or weekly basis. They were all adults, and could do with their lives as they wished. But it never failed to put a smile on her face when she saw one.
"Aoife?" She called out, approaching her daughter from her first litter. |

Aoife instantly felt herself relax when her mother began grooming the top of her head. It gave her...a deeper sense of safety, like her mother could fix any of her problems with just an ear and smart words. It was a bit foolish, as Aoife wasn't that young and naive anymore....but she wanted to believe in her instincts, as her stupid rival so claimed to do. Perhaps that would be better than to lean on her visions so much.
"I know its not everyone, but why does it feel like everyone is so stupid here?" the cream lion whined, her tail twitching in frustration as she continued to lean into her mother. "I can get some lions to listen to me, but they're all listening to her as well." Aoife voice cut venomously, not even really wanted to say her name, but the seer wasn't sure how much her mother knew, either.
"I just want....I want life to be the same, quiet, dull, happy life it is here. Why does it feel like its changing?"

Otea paused, blinking at the abrupt statement. She continued to groom her daughter, listening, processing her words before she decided to speak.
"What do you mean, Aoife?" She stopped her grooming to straighten up, looking her daughter in the eyes. "Who is her?" Otea was at a bit of a loss with the words. She needed to rewind the situation. Maybe Soren had spoken with his sister more recently and knew the situation at hand?
"That's just life, dear. It's always changing. What was the norm for you growing up wasn't the same for me. Just like what was the norm for me, wasn't the same as your grandparents. Sometimes it is a quick change, other times it is gradual, so you don't notice it as much."
"Change isn't easy though." Otea added, frowning slightly. |

Otea nodded, listening as her daughter spoke. "Some aren't happy with the way of life how it can be. So they think they can change it, by doing things to cause chaos. I feel it was bound to happen eventually in this pride, although I hate to admit it." The pale lioness said with a small sigh.
"There's enough crazy out in the world. It's a shame others thought they had to disrupt the lives of other just to get a reaction." Otea had lived part of her younger life in the rogue lands before she returned home for good.
"You can try," Otea stated. "But you know him, he can be pretty hard headed listening to family sometimes." The lioness found herself sighing, shaking her head. "I worry too. I wish you all," she started, in reference to all her cubs, "could be coddled forever. That would make me one very happy mother." She purred, leaning in to nuzzle Aoife.
"If you do talk to him though, let me know what his thoughts are, since he won't talk to me much about it." |
