Arkain chuckles deeply watching the cubs reaction when he leaps out of the water. He occasionally looks around him and listens carefully for the sounds of other lions. He is sure his parents around him. He can't catch their scent but he finds it hard to believe such a young cub is here all by himself. He is sure his scaring their cub will bring them running to protect him. When he hears the cubs response. "Hmmm. Well for a thief you are at least a honest one. I bet you are thirsty especially if you have been walking out in there with the rest of your pride in this heat." He shakes his head and chuckles watching your shake and tremble. "Relax little one. If you shake any more your fur is going to fall off. If you would like a drink all you need to do is ask." He gestures towards the water. "Sorry about scaring you. I am protective of my watering hole. I am sure you understand that. You lions know about  protecting your watering hole. So tell me, where are the other lions your traveling with? I know a little one like you is not way out here all by themselves. So the others might just as well come out now. I am sure they are thirsty too." He looks about as if he is waiting for them to come out.
