Bhumi was a tad bit overwhelmed at the moment. Her life wasn't exactly going as planned, not only had she been wooed by some passing stranger but now she had ten cubs to raise on her own. Not three, or six but ten. TEN. When she, with the help of Sienna, had given birth she wasn't expecting quite this many. Sienna had two young ones of her own, but there was only two. She envied the female for that now. Despite the massive number of children she had she was honestly quite pleased overall. She had never known she could feel like this for another living soul, this was different.
It was Maternal.
Gaze focused on the cubs that were now old enough to venture forth and move freely about the pride with at least minimal supervision. Of course someone would always be watching just to make sure they didn't leave the boundaries but the pride was fairly safe for them to go and explore in. Milas was currently gnawing on Slivka's tail and she had turned to swat at him, her paw catching him across the muzzle. Shrinking back he prepared himself to pounce on it again and chew once more. Her swats did little more than irritate him, they didn't hurt. Ciruela wasn't too far away either so he pondered pouncing on her instead. Bhumi watched the cubs as most laid sleeping for a moment and then decided to let them know.
"You can go outside." She said and waited.
Milas was instantly distracted by his mothers voice and he turned and looked towards her and then the entrance. Had she said they could leave? Like, go outside? Instantly he was running for the entrance with Slivka in quick pursuit. "Wait up you!" She called after him. "Are you coming Ciruela?" Milas called back after their triplet. Sienna was outside already, she was sort of a monitor right now. She knew Bhumi was exhausted and needed an extra pair of legs around for when the cubs wanted to go adventuring. Her ears stood erect as she watched two of the cubs come barreling out into the sunlight and she waited for the rest to follow suit. Bhumi slowly walked outside and joined her friend and gave her a weary smile. "I'm glad you're here. I'd go crazy if it was just me alone." She said to her.
Sano was curious to see all the new life in the lands, but still it was all hard for him to swallow. She had been one of his best friends and they hadn't spoken in so long it seemed. Moving closer to the growing crowd he swallowed a lump.
