Henna is free to interact w at elephant graveyard//

Henna would bat around a skull in his large paws before trying to crush the old thing into pieces. Which would ultimately fail as he threw the small skull of a poacher at a rock which would shatter it. He'd get up dripping blood from a nearby rabbit he had killed.

A tiny sigh as he pulled up. Padding his way to under a elephant ribcage and laying down. The distant of hyenas howling.

Violet blinks a bit. “Hello Aphid. How are you doing today?” She asks, walking to the mouth of the den. Her pie patches of fur started to shine under the sun. Her muscles were getting stronger as she helps hunt food. Her Violet eyes were also starting to shine under the sun.

Polly yawned, stretching out. Her two tails flicked off some of the bugs in her fur. She straightened up, shaking out her soft fur. Hearing voices, she wandered towards her other pridemates, finding Aphid and Violet. Her blue eyes scanned the rest of the cave, not finding anyone else. She sat near them both, her tails coiling around her back paws. "Afternoon, how are the two of you?" She asked.

Violet blinks a little as she hears Polly’s voice. She smiles, giving a small smile to a felllow broodmother. “I’m doing well, I just had a nap and woke up.” She says with a purr. “How are you?” She asks, her muscles showing a bit, her ribs as well.

"Oh, a nap sounds nice. I'm doing good." She returned the broodmothers smile, her ears flicking away a bug. "Any plans for today?" She asked, her tails swaying slightly behind her, creating scuff marks in the dirt.

Violet thinks for a moment. “I was thinking that we could bring the cubs out for a walk! With most of the broodmother’s and some hunters of course. I think it could be good for fresh air and the cubs could learn a bit outside of the pride.” She says, smiling, a bit of blood coming from her mouth. She quickly wipes it away, hoping not to scare anyone.

Polly's smile brightened. "Oh! That would be amazing! I bet the cubs would love that." She glanced over to Aphid. "Would you like to join us? I bet the cubs would love to find some cool trinkets with you!" She knew Aphid usually has a hard time leaving the pride, but she wanted to give him the chance to at least think about it.

Aphid blinked, surprised at this new task at hand. 'I wouldnt mind.' He said eventually, shifting his posture as he watched the smaller bugs in the den then subconsciously tucking the ladybug behind their paw. 'I had just come to check on you both. Is everyone alright?' They looked between both of the lionesses, a little bit suspicious of the blood coming from Violet's mouth.

Phoenix lets put a yawn as he awakes. He shook out his fur and looked around at his pride. His ears twitched noticing a small group of his pride members gathering and chatting about something. Wanting to pitch in and of course try and be a responsible king he walked towards them before inquiring as to what they were doing.” Good morning Polly, Aphid, and Violet.” He paused looking at each of them.” Any plans for today?” He asked with a tilt of his head.

(Finally got a chance to finish his character sheet!)

Henna pulled himself out from under the ribcage and walked out of the graveyard. Heading back toward the pride with a huff. Dragging his paws as he head towards the others. Growling at any cub he saw. He'd eventually sit near but far from the others just staring at them in spite.

Violet blinks for a moment. “We were going to take the cubs for a walk.” She says, smiling. She glances at Aphid, her ears going back to her head a bit. Her ribs were showing a bit, her pie patches shining in the sunlight.

Aphid flinched and turned to look over his shoulder at Phoenix, a thin uncertain growl escaping his maw as he instinctively tensed in the face of the pride king. Curse the moon, why did everyone always crowd around? They was starting to wish he had stayed in his den crushing those smelly herbs. The lioness offered a reluctant smile to Phoenix, still shielding the tiny ladybug, Darling, with their paw. The familiar growl of Henna quickly reached his ears, not doing much to put them at ease. Aphid wasn't the biggest of lions. Despite being nearly the same age as the pride king themselves, he was hardly larger than an apprentice, and being in such crowds of these much taller lions felt suffocating, to put it one way.
She pauses and once again makes eye contact with the lionesses they had originally came to check on, quickly taking in their features. Violet seemed off. Incredibly off, actually. He would have brought it up but there were two many lions here and all Aphid could do was give the lioness a puzzled look.

Violet looks over to Henna and to the nursery. “I should go tell the cubs that we are going for a walk.” She says, her ear twitching as she throws the bug off her ear. She walks to the nursery, going in and laying down. She tells the cubs that they were going on a walk, her mind swirling.

Phoenix nodded his eyes shifting to Aphid his ears twitching once more as his eyes narrowiwd.” Mind if I tag along with you and the cubs Violet?” He asked tilting his head eager to find a way to stretch his legs after his nice sleep last night. Besides that he needed to get out of camp away he felt a little anxious being around all of his pride members this early before he gotten a chance to wake up a little more.

Polly glanced between all the lions. Her confusion slowly melted off as she thought about it. "Well, you are welcome to join us, Aphid." She smiled at the lion, hoping to give him some comfort. She let Violet get the cubs, not wanting to leave Aphid alone.

As a couple of cubs ran up to her, Polly let her focus turn to the cubs. She let them play with her tails, giving them something to focus on. "I was thinking we could take them to that big oak tree, the one by the river. I bet a lot of bugs live down there." She hoped bringing up bugs would distract Aphid slightly from Henna.
