Description

    Lilitu had not expected to see her eldest brother come back into the recesses of the shaded cave so soon, normally not returning until darkness due to his insatiable instincts to feed in terms of females, reproduction, and slaughter--sadly, in that order. Still, she perked as per usual from the sight of the sibling that she loved so even if he stood for everything she tried to renounce. Ears rounding, she purred some as she kept her tone low while making sure to not wake the pale blonde liger cub balled between her paws as his father relinquished his child to his friend's care of sorts.
    "Lilu," she chirped sweetly, her orange irises flaring in their sea of yellow as she looked upon the looming figure of the towering male drawing deeper into the hovel, "You're back so soon, Brother. Have you feed we--"
    She cut herself short as her sibling rumbled low, his head lowering as his massive muzzle opened almost looking like he was about to regurgitate. For a moment, she curled the cub in her paws closer towards her--Kesari's son waking somewhat grumpily as he yawned over the lioness's arm. Still, the initial apprehension from the female seemed to wake the pale cub up some as he too peered warily at the massive dark lion who seemed to deposit something small from his mouth. However, rather than what could have been a grotesque action rather resulted in a soft 'PLOP' towards the ground of the cave as a small cub mewl echoed loud.
    Sharply, Lilitu's eyes widened as she watched her brother's head lift to reveal a soft shade of cream hues before them--a small cub around Elah's age shifting as a small head corked around, wailing some from no longer being held in the maw of the dark lion. Holding her breath, Lilitu's nostrils flared as she drifted her gaze between the two forms--worry creasing her brow as she thought of her sibling's reason for bringing the new child here if not but to consume as he had probably done to it's parents.
    "Brother...What is this?" she gasped out softly as Elah seemed to snuff some in distaste towards the sight of another cub in the dwelling.
    Rumbling more so, Lilu stoically looked at his young sister before his gaze traveled down towards the little cub now shakily getting to its legs--body wobbling as it tested the grounds before hurriedly waddling towards the dark lion's giant paw to sprawl on in some form of comfort. Amazingly, to the lioness, her brother did not roughly toss the mortal child away but rather allowed it the pleasure of remaining so even if too tiny by comparison. 
    "I will require you to feed her, my Dear Sister," his deep baritone cut through, "I have no means to be able to until she is able to consume solids without harm to the natural body."
    She jerked a bit at that, Lilitu shocked by the forward remark as she looked at the yawning female cub who seemed calmer now in vicinity of the dangerous male--her pale gray eyes shifting curiously around before falling with delighted interest upon the rather sour and apathetic look of Elah's face growing. It didn't seem to deter the little female cub, however, her face breaking more in earnest of another cub her age about the unfamiliar space. With such, it seemed to give her enough courage to separate from Lilu to hobble towards Elah--his face growing agitated in expression and wary of the strange cub in his domain.
    Smiling faintly, the dark lioness lowered to scruff the cub and place him over her arms--his face growing more dark at being neared the rather happy looking female. Still, he stayed rooted enough while giving her warning and wary looks as the little female seemed to reach for him in attempt to touch if not play.
    "Brother, are you sure?" Lilitu voiced carefully as she drew her own large frame towards her towering sibling's his eyes on both cubs and unwavering to yield.
    "Yes, my sister."
    Faintly, Lilitu sighed as she peered back towards the cubs once again in thought before flicking an ear towards her brother.
    "She'll need a name, Brother."
    "....Meleda."

Mainly because I've had such a drool day and busy with makeup work though I should be posting some art later tonight if not tomorrow of my own of a few characters or I hope. Anyway, recently purchased a female lioness that I thought was lovely and decided to implement her within a storyline between TheGlobeTrotter and myself. Originally, I had her planned for a adopted daughter to Lilitu but decided her dangerous brother would be better suited to have adopted a cub since it's least expected of him. So far, Meleda is trying to be friends with Elah but the other cub doesn't seem to be interested in a dumb girl coming into his space and a mortal lioness in a territory of demons.

Poor Meleda's going to learn the hard way for a bit before actually breaking Elah's defenses into being remotely of any interest to the liger cub or his world.

XD Works so damn perfectly. Oh Elah you're going to have to learn to be nice. Though my brain, towards the end, instantly skipped to Kitty Mate session between Lilitu and Kesari. XD
