Life was good, of that there was no doubt. Sure things outside the safety of the pride's lands, outside the forest, were becoming weird. The spirits were restless and gods walked among mortals, but here in the cool shade of their home, the people were safe.
Mapiya yawned lazily, stretching as she got out of her hammock to begin her rounds. It was time to check in on the eveng'nariyu under her as well as seeing if there was anything that needed to be cleaned or straightened up. She loved her job and her place within the pride but sometimes she felt lonely as she had yet to make many close bonds

Mapiya was one of their oldest members and had well deserved the rank of Kelku Sa'nok (Home Mother). Devoted was she to the care of the future of their pride as well as the home tree itself, it was a notable rank to have. Smiling the Leader of the pride walked forward, a smile on his face.
"Mapiya, I see you sister. Have you been well?" The common greeting that was often shared among pride members echoed through the dense jungle as he grew closer to her. He hoped all was well with her, he'd have to hear she wasn't doing well

Black stripped ears perked as she heard a voice hailing her. A warm smile broke across her muzzle as Ila joined her, "And I see you brother. I am well. A bit restless perhaps but that is not a bad thing. For so long we were all exhausted from sun up till sun down. To have the energy to even feel restless is a blessing in and of itself."
She tilted her head a bit, "I was just about to go check in with eveng'nariyu before seeing to mother. Would you like to join me?

It was true, there had been much to do in the past year, having to rebuild their home after the disaster that had struck it, still it was nice to see things had begun to settle back to almost normal. There was change upon the wind and he wasn't entirely sure the pride would be so accepting, but only time would tell. While most of everything was staying the same there was going to be a couple of changes, nothing major, or so he hoped. "I would be honored to join you." Moving into step beside her his golden eyes danced as he watched the figure's of creatures moving in the shadows of the jungle.
"You needed work yourself to exhaustion every day you know. Take some time and enjoy yourself as well." His pride should know that it wasn't always about working, but living as well

"Pssh" Came the playful laugh as she swatted at the younger male her smile fond of the boy, well no he wasn't a boy anymore was he? He was well grown and would one day soon lead their family. "You sound like my ladies. They all fuss at me so. You'd think I was a doddering ancient they way they carry on instead of being in the prime of my life."
It amused her how the younger females looked up to her almost in awe. Half seemed to think of her as their own mother and half seemed to think of her as the strict teacher when in truth she wanted nothing more than to guide them to grow to their full potential.
"So tell me Ila, are you excited to be wed soon?

"WELL," he started with a laugh as he danced away from her playful swat. "If I sound like your ladies perhaps you DO need a little break." Giving a wink he made sure to keep out of reach in case she wanted to swat at him again.
The closeness he felt to his other pride mates was nice and it helped him to relax and fall into his roll among them so much easier. It was always a good thing when you could approach another member without too much worry about how they might respond to you.
At her words he swallowed and looked over towards her. "I am, though I am also nervous. As most soon to be newly weds are it would seem." Usually he was one of the one's overseeing the ceremony, not actually participating in it himself! Still, he was excited to make his vows before the Great Mother. "Once I see her standing before me I know all of that will go away I'm sure." @Keanth
