"Are you here for the adoption?"
The horse lioness coughed. You nodded, and she proceeded to signal you to follow her.
"I'm sorry you had to go all the way here. It's quite far from the other areas." She said, "We would have come to you, but..."
The sense of hesitation and discomfort filled the air as she hesitated.
"... It would be too much of a risk to the cubs, as I'm not strong enough to protect them all anymore."
Her speech came to a pause.
"But, that's where you come in. Many cubs are abandoned in the desert by the cruel sacrifices of the Gardens, some are even found randomly roaming the desert, hurt and hungry.”

As she looks into the direction of you, she can see the grief and hardships in her eyes.

“My-OUR hope is that lions like yourself are able to take them in, save them from this kind of world. Some I know won’t be able to make it to adulthood in these types of conditions.” she sighed.
“I was hesitant with this idea at first, as I know the dangers of 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 types of lions.” She growled.
“...But these cubs deserve a future, and in their best interest these risks must be taken.”
As you make your way across the desert, you spot a small oasis.
“We’re here.”
As you walk towards it, you notice cubs splashing in the oasis, Rustling with each other, however others are hiding in the small shade of the dying palm tree, some more tired than others.
“Now that you’re here, which future will you change?”

Rules and notices:
Chedder isn't for adoption, (though she could certainly use a break)
All lions are free! No exchange of anything is needed!
Rp in replies are welcomed, but are not needed to get a cub.
The max cubs you can take are one. (Chedder is worried you'll lose one on your way back.)
When cubs become adults, they'll be released into the desert. (Their fate is unknown.)
Don't feel pressured to get a cub if you don't want too! Most of the rp is for fun and personal lore reasons! Other then that, it's a regular adoption!

That being said, are you ready to pick a cub?
Enter the Oasis...
