Nirza

Nothing would calm down the wailing Nirza until they were passed to Grandpaw Vitra's paws. The old lion smothers Nirza with his mane until they start giggling.

Nirza wanted to play "Lion, Lion, Hyena!" with their siblings today, but they were pushed out of the group and teased for being a little crycub. You were about to go over and see if they were okay when Grandpaw Vitra arrived, telling the little cub not to mind the others too much, and that he would be happy to play instead. Brightening up immediately, Nirza clambers up onto the great lion's back and the two go off to play elsewhere, while Grandpaw Vitra tells an interesting story about meeting a lion called Apedemak... or was that Apollyon?

When Nirza darts to Grandpaw Vitra with a small rodent in their jaws, Grandpaw Vitra tells them how wonderfully they'd done, and says they'll make an excellent hunter in the future.
