I can't believe we decided to let Cub Daddy wander around freely. Let alone join us on a hunt. What if he makes a break for it or.
.. Mala. He isn't our prisoner.
He is a member of our tribe now. And more importantly, he will be the future father to our cubs. He should be treated like family.
Well, perhaps nicer than how we treat our families. But you know what I mean. Yes, Faria, I know that.
But I don't see why we couldn't have just left him behind in the village with Suma. He could have helped her with guard duty. And you know that she's been feeling slightly ill lately.
He could have watched after her. That's true. However, she was insistent that he come along with us.
And that she would be fine on her own. After all, she is the oldest. Well, we should give her the rest already.
So you were born last. So fucking what? We are only a few minutes apart anyway.
Yes, you and I both know that. But she acts like we're decades apart. Well, she is more mature than you, Biria.
And we're both more mature than you, Mala. Hmm. Why I oughta.
.. Shh, quiet. I hear something.
It's a boar. Finally. Get down low, both of you.
Hmm. About time we caught up with that damn pig. We've been tracking it all morning.
Okay, now, Cub Daddy. Remain perfectly still. Be very quiet.
We're hunting boar. Shh, quiet. Why the hell are you talking like that anyway? Besides, why are you trying to teach him how to hunt? He's a former poacher, remember? Mala, he's already explained this multiple times.
He was never a poacher. He was an explorer. He just had the gun for self-defense.
And you brought that crap? Please. He's a poacher if I've ever seen one.
And how many poachers have you seen, Mala? Hmm. Okay, so none.
But I still think he was a poacher. If he was a poacher, Mala, then I highly doubt that you would've caught him so easily. Odds are he would've shot you before you would've had the time to react.
That's not true. I laid a trap for him. And traps are the last thing that he expected to find in this jungle.
Well, besides tiger girls, that is. Oh shit, he's right. The boar escaped while you were distracting us, Mala.
Me? Last time I checked, it took two to hold a conversation. Conversation, my tail.
All that you've been doing is arguing and bashing the whole hunt. Well, me and him have had to put up with your shit. Put up with my shit? See, this is why I like to hunt with Suma more than hunting with you.
All you like to do is piss me off. Oh yeah. Well, I've talked to Suma after one of your hunting trips together.
She says that you're the worst person to hunt with. You don't know how to keep your big mouth shut. How about I shut your mouth? No, good mother fu- Hmm.
He's right. We should be thinking about the village instead of fighting with each other. Hmm.
Yeah, yeah, okay. He may be right. But little good it does now.
The pig is gone and it's nearly the afternoon now. By the time we check that boar again, it'll be getting late. Cub Daddy can't see in the dark and it'll hinder our hunting and potentially let our guard down if we encounter the Amazonians.
That's a long story. Anyway, Yamala has a point for once. But we still need to find food for the village.
That's actually not a bad idea, Cub Daddy. There's a stream near here. We can use our paws while he can spear fish.
Hmm, finally something we can agree on. Okay. Then let's head over to the stream.
Ah, I can smell the fish. Personally, I prefer fish over boar any day. Indeed.
It looks like the stream is teeming with them. We should be able to make a big catch for the village. Yep.
Okay, Cub Daddy. You go upstream for us. That way if you miss, then me and Biria can scoop them up.
With the two of us, I'm certain we'll catch them every time. Well, I like that you have confidence in our abilities, Mala. You shouldn't underestimate Cub Daddy.
He may catch more fish than either of us. Hmm. Yeah, okay, Biria.
What does a human know about fishing? Especially the great explorer here. Be nice, Mala.
Anyway, we should get started. Unless you're afraid of getting your paws wet. Huh.
I'm not afraid of anything, Biria. If anything, I'd say that you're afraid that I will catch more fish than you do. Making you look bad in front of Cub Daddy.
You take that back. I'll show you, Mala. We'll see about that.
Hey, you splashed me. You did that on purpose. I did not.
Quit being such a baby. Just because you're the youngest doesn't mean you have to act like such a huge baby. Just shut up and fish, Mala.
I would if someone wouldn't bitch at me because they couldn't handle a little water. Well, how's this for a little water? Hey, you did that on purpose.
Just return the favor. I told you it was an accident. You're the one who's an accident.
We were all conceived on the same day, stupid. That would make you an accident, too. Don't call me stupid.
I meant my mother meant to have cubs like me and Zuma. Not a middle-born menace like you. That's it.
I'm about to. .. Wait, look.
While we were splashing around, we apparently scared the fish back in Cub Daddy's direction. What? How many fish have you caught, Cub Daddy? One, two, three.
.. Thirteen? No fucking way.
I told you you shouldn't have underestimated him, Mala. He's caught more fish than both of us combined. That's because you distracted me from focusing on catching the fish myself.
Everything always has to be about you, doesn't it, Mala? About me? Who's the one who found Cub Daddy in the first place? That's right, it was me.
And who brought him back to share with her sisters? Oh yeah, again, that would be me. And how did I find him? Because I was out hunting for the village like I always do.
And do you know why I do that? Because I'm constantly worrying about you and Zuma going hungry even for a single meal. So much so that I literally spend all day and night tracking through this dangerous jungle just to make sure that everyone has something to eat.
Mala. .. I.
.. didn't realize that you. ..
But I love you so much. But I love both of my sisters more than my own safety. The fact that I would even share the man I love.
.. I mean. ..
Wait, what did you just say? That I love you. I heard and knew that already.
What I also heard but didn't know is that you loved him. Shut up, Birria. Mala, it's okay to have feelings.
And there's nothing wrong with anyone sharing their feelings. But it doesn't make you weak. It takes courage and strength to say how you feel.
You always try to be the tough one. You want to be strong. And not only prove yourself to us but the rest of the tribe too.
But you don't have to do that. We're all in this together. Come here, sister.
Feel better? Yeah, I do actually. Sorry for earlier, Birria.
No, I'm the one who's sorry. I said things that I shouldn't have said. And things that I didn't mean at all.
I love you, sister. I know. I love you too.
And you did say some things that I needed to hear. Thank you. Now let's get back to fishing.
Daddy has nearly filled up his whole basket. The next day Wow, what a haul we're bringing back. Yeah, too bad he caught more than we did, Bo.
It's not important who caught more fish than the other, Mama. What matters is that we're bringing more than enough fish for the entire village. Yeah, yeah.
Can't wait to see the look on Zuma's face when we show her how much fish we have. Hmm, same here. I hope she feels like eating them, however.
She's been so nauseated lately. She wakes up sick practically every morning. I know.
Hope she's okay. Oh, and hey, Cub Daddy. Nice work on catching the fish.
You were much better than I had anticipated. Aw, see? Mala can be nice.
After all, she loves you, Cub Daddy. Shut up, Birria. Aw, look, she's blushing.
How cute. Yeah, well, you love him too. You're right, and I'm not afraid of admitting that to him.
And neither is Zuma. Speaking of Zuma, look. There she is at the entrance of the village.
Ah, sisters! Cub Daddy, you're back! And you brought us.
.. some fi. ..
some fi. .. Oh, I don't feel so.
.. Zuma! Hey, Zuma, are you okay?
