@DeadlyPhoenix((I think we should to a Little Mermaid reference for Gumu and Kalina at some point :D))
Gumu smiled as they stopped when they reached the gorge. He remembered how slippery it was and if you fell down it, it was hard to climb back up. They were still cubs then though so of course their small frames couldn't climb very well. "Let's try staying above it this time, aye?" They were older now so if they did fall down again, climbing back out may be easier this time.
Shupavu smiled at her. "How about we make it official when Gumu decides on his own to pop the question?" He hoped she knew that he meant when his son ask Kalina to be his mate. "And that may take awhile, but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end."
