She softly smiled and handed the wealthest female lion the cub before checking on the other. The female took a while to get through all of the injured or coughing lions. She had given them all herbs amd as for her tribe, they brought them back to where her tribe is, not really caring if they refused.

Yuki softly sighed once it was all done. "Come on. Let's head back and discuss on how we can rebuild yout building with my cheif. If not, there maybe another attack." She said to those who are remaning, then left, hearing some following her.

(it's fine. What it means is that she helped with the injured lions then sent them back to her tribe even if they didn't want to with the people that she asked to come. Hopefully that helped!)

(so the lions are going to the leopards village, right? I am sorry, I feel stupid xD)

The old leader's distrust increased when he saw his fellow tribe members following the strangers, sometimes being forced to go with them. Not sure about how to act, the dark lion was walking back and forth, looking at the coughing lions and some lame females, at the leopards that were surrounding them, and then looking back at his son that were just quietly watching and doing nothing. He went back to him, asking him if he is sure they can trust this unknown spotted girl. The young heir thought for a few seconds before acquiescing silently.
Among the remaining lions, the opinions were divided as well. Some of them decided to follow their wives and children to be able to keep an eye on them. Among those who stayed to hear Yuki's words, some accepted to trust her and followed her, while some others were just looking at each other, questioning, and looking for their leader to be sure of what they were supposed to do.

Elijah decided to follow the female. He could not accept the idea that this girl may be vicious enough to act as an ally to get rid of the whole pride. He wanted to trust her and believe in her generous help.

(Yes and its fine.)

Yuki was actually at the back of the group, making sure that no one would actually stray. She helped those who did strey get lost until one of her tribe's people to go up ahead and tell the cheif what was happening. Though she hated to do that, but she did, after she told the cheif of the lions' pride where she was going.

The hardest part was for him to understand what happened before the group gets there. Thankfully when she got there they had been mostly prepared. She quickly explaned what had happened and what needed to be done before the cheif of her tribe came out and helped them. Her ears twitched suprised he was going along with this. He sometimes was stuborn, but usually he helps the weak.

[[Hello, this is Seiden. Replying from side because I do not want to rollover my main account for today. I am really sorry for having been so long to reply! Have been really busy and tired ;___;]]

The lion chief was staring at his people while they were leaving the village's area. His tail was shaking nervously behind his back, and his anxious frown was accentued by the position of his ears, lying down against his dark mane. The more he was thinking about it, the more suspicious he felt about the spotted people. There may be several reasons for them to actually be the ennemy, and acting like allies to make the lions trust them may be the best way to erradicate them.
He leaped toward and caught the crown in a few strides, stopping his son that were staying at the end of the group. He told him they should at least keep some warriors to watch over the village in case some enenmy warriors went for another attack. Elijah stopped and looked back at what was remaining from his village. Destroyed buildings, ashes, broken tools, and no food at all. The storehouse probably was the start of the fire, as it was totally destroyed, including all of the food, tools and medicines stored by the pride. Addressing a sad look to his father, Elijah answered : there is nothing left to guard any more, then why worry? A new attack to the village can not do more damages to what is already destroyed.
Hearing her cheif's suspicion and anxiety, a nearby female started to doubt as well. What if the spotted strangers were actually leading them to an ambush, and the naive lions were stupidly following them to be slaughtered ? Walking close to her cheif and his heir, she whispered to them, suggesting to stay at the village or maybe to bring some weapons. The dark-maned lion agreed and some of the lions started to slown down, unsure of what to do.
But another young male, a relatively thin boy with a light and short mane merging into his creamy pelage, came close to his chief and, talking with a voice loud enough for the lions around to hear him, but low enough for the leopards not to ear, admitted to his chief he actually know the leopard people, being in touch with one of their young females. He ensured they would never do such a vicious thing, being genuinly helping and open-handed. He argued so well in favor of the leopard tribe that he managed to convince all of them. Probably because most of them were to tired to worry any more any way and prefered to let their mind go and just follow their supposed helpers. The chief frowned, still being unsure about it, but accepted to let his people go to the neighbor village, staying with them however, to be able to keep an eye on all of them.

They ended up arriving to the leopard's village. They waited at the fringe between the wood and the clearing while the white leopard went away to talk to her chief, unsure about what they were supposed to do now.

(Its okay. Times are getting hard.)

She came back to see some of the lions uncertain and she knew the only one that would start that was either a child or the tribe's leader. The female smiled as she started to divide the pride into three different lines. One line was for boya, the seconds was for girls and the third were of those who needed the proper medicine the most.

"Okay." The female said in a louder voice so the lions could hear her. "My tribe is emptying out and cleaning up some houses for you guys to stay in. It may be a bit crowded in there, but we are going to build a few more houses for you so it won't be as crowded." She explained. "Any questions?"

Still unsure about what was going on, the lions let the leopard order them in line without opposing much resistance or asking much questions, while they were still looking anxiously at each other, wondering about the use of the manoeuvre or what they would have to do next. A torrent of words raised from the crowd after the white female explained her they would stay in there for a while, punctuated by some "hush!!" from some random lions. They ended up keeping quiet, and a single voice raised to answer the female : "Yes. Why are we separated from our ladies ?"

"It helps with counting the population. You will be set with your families after we know how many of each gender there are." She answered the questioned that had answered hers. A couple of her people had started to count the lines as she went to the third line and led them to her hut for healing. It was big and smelled of multiple herbs. The white leopard went and created some tea as she started to make a leaf bundle then crushing them.

The lion who asked the question silently acquiesced, seeming to accept the answer. Couples usually live together and he hate being separated from his wife, but he knows the females of his pride would never accept to share a room with a male that is not their husband, then he assumed they would just be sorted into non-mix dormitories for more convenience.
The hurt lions quietly followed the white leopard, accepting the treatment and beverage.

In the meantime, Cherinee, the lion chief, went to the leopard's chief. He saluted him respectfully, raising his open hand.
- I express you the profound gratitude of my people for your generous help.

His ears twitched as he stood up with a smile. "Greetings, and welcome to our village. I'm sorry your village burned down and we will gladly help building it up." The leopard said before a female, supposively his wife, came in and smiled.

"You're welcome, we hate seeing others in danger, expecially when its the same... Group of species... as ours." She said with a polite bow to the higher standing feline.

"I hope you find your stay comfortable until everything is okay to head back to your clearing." He said as his tail lightly swayed behind him.

The lion chief bowed respectfully in front of the leopard lady. He first saw them as different, but he now have to admit the both prides are pretty much made of the same people, being different only from some spots and some more or less hairs on males.
- Your help is very welcome. Not only to rebuild our village, but also to rebuild my people's faith. Our god have not answered our prayers since the fire and some of us felt abandoned. It is nice to know we can still count on generous neighbours when we cannot count on our protector any more.

The leader smiled. "We like to help who ever we can if they are in need, and I hope you have contact with your god soon. What about your healer? Where are they?" He asked curiously. The male guestured that they could sit down at a nicely carven wooden table and chairs.

The female went and left, saying she's go help with the preperations for the lion's pride.

The lion sit down at the place that were offered to him, silently admiring the well-made pieces of furniture before putting his eyes back on the spotted leader.
- Unfortunately, our healer left a short time ago for a pilgrimage. He felt like his powers were slowly leaving him and he had to find the help of the deities. Not sure he found any help, though, as Diey seems to be absent... What if something happened to Them...
His last sentence got lost in his mane, like if he was murmuring it to himself, like a sudden realization, and his eyes got lost in some anxious thoughts.

"Huh...." He mumbled before he let out a sigh. "We've been feeling like that too, but we stay hopeful that what ever is happening them that they will return into their natural, healthy, state." The male said as he seemed to be thinking. "Our healer hasn't felt like that at all. She never seems to far away from our ancestors, but that doesn't mean others haven't."

Just then the white healer came in and pollitely bowed. "I am sorry chiefs, I hope I have not interupted something. I just have some information and questions to as chief Cherinee if he is okay with that."
