The calm silence was shattered by a long, drawn out growl that Madeleina recognized immediately. She bit her lip, and was on her feet before Gackt had even called to her to get up. Her eyes were wide, and she moved instinctively out of the tent. She froze there, bewildered by the amount of people that had emerged from their tents to search for her. They were in her way! She pushed someone aside, nodding at their obvious comments. Of course, Leeu was in labor. Madeleina certainly didn't need to be told twice. At her feet, the cub Hodari mewled in confusion. She scooped the little cat up, and then followed Gackt as he ran to her tent.

It was already crowded, with both Gackt and Leeu inside. Madeleina paused as she placed Hodari firmly outside the tent, telling him firmly to stay put before entering. It was dark, and the low rumble that emanated from Leeu's chest showed her distress. The lioness was stood, her head hung low. She turned to Madeleina as she entered, and the human moved quickly to her side. She ran her hands carefully over her body, reassuring herself that everything was as it should be, before she turned to Gackt and suddenly realized that he was there. She blinked, and then tied her hair back.

"Gackt, I'm going to need some warm water, cold water, and towels," she spoke assertively, glancing at him once, and a professional excitement and anticipation, and undeniable pride was in the glint of her hues. In reality, she could have gone to get them herself, but she knew lions well, and she knew that females always prefer to birth their cubs away from the majority of the pride. And that meant Gackt.

"Come on, Leeu...There's a good girl..." She murmured to the lioness a mixture of encouraging sounds as the lioness began to push, and it wasn't too long before a single cub was born. It fell from Leeu, and Madeleina instinctively drew back, allowing the lioness to stake her claim on her cub. A snap of the lionesses jaws cut the umbilical cord, and Madeleina felt her eyes well up. She impatiently dashed the imminent tears away before calling Leeu's name gently.

The female lion turned her tired gaze upon the human in friendly acknowledgement before going to the cub. Madeleina silently watched as she began to lick the small creature clean, knowing better than to interrupt right now. The cub was small, and looked to weigh a healthy three pounds. It was blind as all cubs were, but from where she was, Madeleina couldn't tell any more.
