Almost as if on cue of them talking about him, Basdev did come back by at that moment.
"Oh good, you're all still here and unhurt" he smiled, "in addition to checking up on Namita wouldn't want to explain to either of you other kids parents about losing you or anything".
"What are ya? Our babysitter?!" Shere Khan couldn't help asking.
Basdev laughed a bit, "No, I doubt any animal would take on watching all of you kids at once" he grinned.
Namita chuckled, "Basdev stop teasing 'em" she said, familiar with her brother's good sense of humor at times, but also a tad bit embarrassed by it in front of her peers as any cub would be.
