Lavallia looked to see if Distani was out of the cave. She knew she was, but she was stalling. Trying to collect her words. "Veran...Remember he always has been a great boy. We raised him that way. He's not just a boy anymore. He has grown into an adult. I believe he has found a mate. Now don't ask questions because you will understand everything. And don't do anything rash." She nuzzled his neck.* He has found another hyena. She's a female. Before you run out there to hunt her down. Listen to me. Our son has grown up. He stood up to me today because I was mad myself. He knows what he is doing, and we need to let him. Now, I'm not saying give her judgment. I'm saying give her a chance. And if you don't give it to her for her, do it for our son. He deserves that. I think he can turn her into a real pride lander, and he would be the first to know if she did anything wrong, and she would face the consequence's before you or I have a chance to stop her.

Vivi listened to every word and walked with him in silence. She had a lot to chew over in her mind. If he thought she was going to stay here, and be treated like an outcast, he had another thing coming. She would leave in the dead of night if she had to. Although she had never met another hyena, and it would suck to leave him behind. She had roamed all her life. But she would give this place a chance for a while first. Getting to know him. He stood between her and a mouth full of angry lioness teeth earlier. When he led her into his den and lay down, she pretty much knew he was laying down to sleep, so, she was laying down to sleep as well. She lay next to him, the den being kind of small, so that forced her to lay curled up against him.
