"Yes, once we are away from you, in their eyes the leopard to recently startle them, I'm sure a formal complaint will come sooner or later" Nala admitted to what Matsu told her.
She glanced down at Hali once more even as Kovu asked the all important question. Nala smiled though, noticing how the cub had retreated a bit with Kovu's appearance.
"Well I think first off we should inform Simba of our guest" she said, in a gentle tone so that the cub wouldn't misunderstand and get more worried.
Hali had to admit, meeting more grown males didn't sound all that great, but she knew she had little choice given her bold actions.
"and I definitely don't think the little one should be without a Pride's protection" Nala added, but that was all she said for the moment. She stepped forward a bit, "If it would be alright with you, um Hali" she recalled the name the little one had given out, "would you please follow us to meet some more of the Pride?".
"Um, I guess after attacking one of your antelope I have little choice don't I" Hali said, glancing from Nala to Kovu, "Um...sure". She followed, almost looking like a lectured cub, as they made their way to Pride Rock once more. Nala of course nodded a farewell to Matsu and thanked him once again for stepping in to help the cub.
Once reaching Pride Rock, though, Nala's focus was broken a bit by the sight of one of the lions there. "Kopa..." she breathed, seeing and recognizing her son straight off. She rushed forward to nuzzle him, "Oh, I'm so glad to see that your safe" she said.
Hali'd been sticking very close to Nala and now felt more than a bit awkward standing out in the open. She hunched further in. Nala noticed soon enough though.
"Ah yes, well this is the cub we were smelling before" she went on to explain to Simba and the others, giving a quick rehash of what both Matsu and the cub herself had told her of Hali's predicament and actions.
Hali gave a small nervous smile, "Again...I didn't mean to cause any trouble with the antelope..." she said in a small voice.
