Arkain smiles warmly when she smiles at him. He watches her jump into a pile of stuffed animals. He starts laughs loudly at the fun she is having. He looks up at Charles and points at her laughing the whole time. Charles grins and laughs some to at the fun she is having tossing the stuffed animals around. Arkain jumps a bit surprised by her sudden pounce on a stuffed animal right next to him and start to wrestle with it.<br/><br/>What happens next catches him even more by surprise. It is the way she attacks  the hippo. Even though she is playing. Her growls and roars and the way she instinctively knew how to use to jaws to subdue her prey. He laughs subside a bit as a more concerned look comes over his face. Charles starts to wonder whats wrong. Arkain sees now that she is indeed a young tigress and has instincts and weapons to become a predator. Arkain is going to have to have a talk with her about that so she doesn't accidentally hurt someone.<br/>Then Arkain and Charles both start laughing again when the stuffing from the hippo goes flying all over. Arkain looks over at Tam and sees her perplexed look on her cute face and hears her soft mews while holding the hippo skin. Arkain laughs brushing the padding off of him. He reaches over and pick up Tamara.  HE quickly finds out she is also allot heavier now than before. He puts her on his lap and hugs her close to him and nuzzles her warmly.<br/>"Its OK Tamara. I am not mad. We were having fun. Its just a stuffed animal. We can get a new one. You just need to remember you are no longer a little cub. You are allot stronger than before. These are just stuffed animals. If you play rough with them they will tear apart. "<br/>His expression changes and gets a bit more serious. He runs his hand gently along your muzzle. He takes a deep breath and smiles. His voice more serious but not angry. "Look at me Tamara. This awkward because I never raised a tigress before but it is very important for you to remember you ARE no longer a cub. You are a young tigress. You are starting to develop your instincts to hunt and kill your prey. Now that we are civilized animals. We don't have to hunt and kill for our food but the instinct is still there. You, my dear, have to learn to control that instinct. It is very powerful and it will take work. I want you to promise in front of me and Charles that you will never ever, no matter how angry someone makes you, uses your claws and teeth in anger. Believe it or not they can do some serious damage. You see what happened to that stuffed hippo? "He points toward the hippo skin."That could easily have been someones skin if you attacked them with your teeth and claws. Thats how sharp your claws and teeth are now. Now its OK to use your claws and teeth some in play but just be really careful with them." He hugs you close to him. " I know this is all quite confusing and I know you would never hurt anyone like that. Its just something a young tigress needs to know. Don't worry you and I will practice on your hunting skill. You may not be in the wild but I am going to be sure that my little girl can defend herself. "<br/>He laughs and leans down holds you tightly growls playfully. He starts to tickle and  you all over and nuzzle you playfully around your neck.
