You wander into the cave filled with younger lions and mothers after having met the pride's king and her wife. You glance around, searching for the strange short tailed cub from earlier, or one of the broodmothers at least. Perhaps you just wish to share small talk with some more of this pride's lions, or you wish to follow up on the offer of picking up some new pride mates. Well, whatever you're here for, you suddenly find yourself struggling to keep your balance. You either almost fall flat on the ground, or you do and end up with a mouthful of sand. If it's the latter option, bleurgh. You sort yourself out and look for what had knocked into you with such momentum. You see a group of cubs playing roughly with one of the apprentices who had not yet lost their cub-like playfulness. They look to be having fun, which brings a smile to your muzzle.

You feel something brush against your front paws and look down, seeing the strange cub you'd been looking for - Halftail, right ? She had her paws placed on top of yours. Awww. "Hello there, again." She tilts her head to the side, "Are you here to look for someone to take with you ?" You take note of one of the broodmothers sauntering over to the two of you as Halftail asked you the question. The lioness did not say anything, only choosing to supervise for now. Perhaps she just wanted to see how the cub would handle the interaction and jump in if the cub needed guidance. You think to yourself for a moment and answer.

If you answer by shaking your head sideways and explaining that you just wanted to have some company and to socialise, the cub and her broodmother introduce you to some of their pride mates and leave you to it.

However, if you answer by nodding and saying you are indeed interested in taking in some lions, the cub pauses and fixes her posture a bit. "Alrighty then. I'll go gather some of the ones looking for a new home," the cub says and trots off. The broodmother inches over to you and dips her head in greeting. "I am Guardian Rust, though you may just call me Rust. I am the one in charge of young Halftail's care. You see, she is our little advisor to be. She is doing well, but still has much to get a grasp of." The lioness offers you a kind smile, though she is sitting a little too awfully close to you. You chose not to say anything about it. "It will take her some time to find everyone as there is a fair amount amongst us looking to move on to the next thing life offers them. We do attract a good number of free spirits here. Some even have cubs they plan to take with them." She looks around to check on how Halftail is doing. "It is hard to part ways with lions you are used to seeing often, especially when they are so valuable to the pride itself. But who are we to stop those that are adventurous from leaving." Her shoulder brushes slightly against yours. She lifts her paw and points to a lioness carrying around a small stone marked with a symbol of the sun. "To make things simple for our guests, the lions and lioness' wishing to find new home carry around those stones. Feel free to introduce yourself to any of those lions and see if they catch your interest." Soon enough, Halftail approaches you and Rust with some of the lions with the marked stones. You begin to talk with some of them.

1) I prefer it if you don't chase/kill/send to reserve/portal etc the lions you end up taking. Please intend to keep the lions you claim, thank you.
2) Only those marked with symbol (☼) are up for grabs.
3) I would prefer it if you stick to the rp style of claiming a lion. I will reserve lions according to the name/link you have in your reply and then send them to you once I reply. I can also do it through pms if you don't want to reply in the form or if you don't want to do it in an rp style.
4) The claim limit is 3 individual lions per day or just one nursing mother and her cubs. Really it depends on the mood/hunger levels of your pride.
5) Finally, please by patient and have enough space for the lions you wish to claim. Thank you for checking out this cave.
