Harakhty nodded and sat down, deciding that this was a conversation best had sitting. He gave a soft smile as she seemed to curl further around the cubs, and then started, "Partially. It also had to do with that pride that our desert friends were looking for - the Nergui." He frowned, "Scouts have come back saying that they've, for lack of a better word, vanished. Strange timing, considering some of our own have disappeared as well."
He sighed and curled his tail around his leg, "The Firekin have returned, and they're going to send a group of our own along with them to search the desert across the mountain. Perhaps we'll find our missing lions along with whatever happened to the Nergui."
Then he paused, debating how to break this next part gently, "Senka...." May as well just spit it out, he supposed. "I've volunteered to go as well."
He stumbled over his words quickly to explain, "I want to find out what could be causing the disappearances, find our missing members and...." The lion looked down at his paws, "... and I know that desert like the back of my paws. The place they took up residence is my old home, my old pridelands."

Well, death threat aside, she seemed to at least understand why he was going, though his ears pulled back slightly at her grumpiness. He wasn't terribly surprised that she didn't want him to go; they had cubs and should anything happen to him while he was gone....
But he'd made up his mind, and if this meant the cubs would be safer in the future, he was willing to do it. Plus, he knew how to handle himself in that terrain. Where some of the other Mwezi might not know how to fight on sand, he did, and that could come to his advantage.
Hopefully it wouldn't come to that though.
Nodding, Har gave a soft smile, "I'll come back as soon as I can, I promise." And then he butted his head affectionately against Senka's gently, "Try to get some rest when you can."

He hummed, "I will, I promise. I'd fight tooth and nail to get back." Har curled his paws under him as he settled down beside her, head flopped down next to one of their cubs and letting the little one poke at his nose. He wanted to enjoy being with his family before getting ready to leave.
With a sigh, the lion glanced back over at Senka, "You're going to be a great mother, you know that?" Maybe a little protective, but what mother wasn't? Sometimes he wondered what had become of his own parents as he gazed at his cubs, but such thoughts were moot now. Wherever they were, he hoped they were happy.
He curled his tail around the little group, content in the knowledge that he was with his new family.
