"Oh..." the warrior beastman nodded. "Then what now..?"
The other folded his arms staring at the crying cub. "I think I’ve seen this happen and I’ve seen the female do something..." The warrior said as he approached the cub.
The rest watched as he leaned in to the cub and gently brought down his hand to the cub. The warrior placed a hand over the cub’s stomach and gently patted it. He patted as gently as possible while being careful not to press the soft cub’s stomach. He sweated as though he was pulling a pin from a tiny hole.
Others watched as he patted the crying cub. One pat, two, three, four and then more...
"Don’t cry... Little... Little cub... Don’t... Don’t cry..." The great warrior said. The great warrior who only knew how to take orders and take down people was suddenly comforting a cub.
The other leaned closer. "I think it’s ’cry not little cub’..." He said softly.
"What’s the difference?"
"..."
Soon, the cub stopped crying. Ally’s big eyes were on the warriors as though she had seen some fascinating discovery or something.
"..."
"Oh! She stopped..."
"Yes.. she did.." The warriors all smiled happily. They were all proud and happy as if they had made some grand discovery.
"It worked..."
"Oh, you’re so smart, you made the cub stop," another complimented as the great warrior smiled.
But almost immediately, Ally started crying again.
"..." The warriors went quiet again in shock. At that moment, they genuinely didn’t know what to do again!
---
Ayra and Lord Ash were approaching her house when they caught sight of a warrior returning with some butterflies he had caught in a container.
"What’s that?" Lord Ash asked, still carrying Ayra in his arms.
The warrior paused and stared at the butterfly in his hand. "Oh.. this.. well... The cub suddenly started crying and we didn’t know what to do. So I decided to get this.... It seems the little one likes it..."
Ayra didn’t know if she was to smile or laugh. She simply requested that Lord Ash put her down.
"Are you sure...?" He asked.
"Yes I am," she said as he slowly put her down.
Ayra turned to the warrior with a smile. "Thanks a lot for your consideration but that won’t work. Let’s go inside."
The warrior followed them in with Commander Lynn standing at the back.
As soon as Ayra stepped into the house, the warriors immediately stepped aside and only watched to know what the female would do this time.
But Ayra casually walked up to Ally and carried her. "Oh, Ally what’s wrong? Eh? Why are you crying? Who made you cry...?" She exchanged little words with the cub while carrying her.
The cub simply stopped crying as soon as she was in her mother’s arms. And then Ayra held her firmly while comforting her.
"..."
Immediately, the warriors stared in immense shock. They simply couldn’t believe their eyes on how the female solved this.
"Oh? The female only carried her and she stopped?" One observed. "Is that some magic trick..?"
"I don’t know..." Another was brave enough to ask Ayra. "Female.. what is wrong with her this time since she doesn’t need cleaning. So how did the female stop her from crying...?"
Ayra smiled at them as she said, "Actually she just misses her mother’s presence. So when she woke up and didn’t see me she got worried and started crying for her mother. That’s it."
"Oh..." The warriors all nodded in unison as they scratched their heads, taking note. "We see..."
They shook their heads as one of them said, "That’s complicated.."
Another agreed. "Indeed. I never knew interpreting a cub would be harder than strategizing for a fight..."
They all agreed with a nod. Even Lord Ash and Commander Lynn stood there also learning their own share of the information while keeping calm.
Soon, the warriors were gone as Ayra sat down, holding the cub gently while comforting her.
Lord Ash stood before her as he said, "You should get some rest.. you look exhausted..." He said.
Ayra let out a gentle smile as she said, "I’d like to but I still don’t know how long the cat will be calm. I still need to soothe it. And also Lord Zark and Lord Vale are injured and might keep growing berserk. So I need to..."
"No, you don’t need to..." Lord Ash said, gently placing a hand over her shoulder. "You look exhausted already. So at least get some rest before thinking of that..."
He added, "Since Nyx is already in prison, we’ll take care of that. We’re already grateful to you... And for the other two.. I’ll make sure I keep them under control till you’re done getting some rest. Okay?"
Ayra hesitated and then slowly nodded with a smile. She really was exhausted. "Okay then. I’ll get some rest."
"I’ll bring you something to eat," Commander Lynn insisted. "You haven’t eaten all morning," he explained. "So I’ll go get you something to eat first and then you can rest..."
Ayra smiled at Commander Lynn as he slightly nodded. "You’ve been observant I see.. that’s cute. Thanks," she appreciated with a smile.

Ayra smiled. She guessed these two definitely wanted her to get some rest before even doing anything. Talk about pampering.
She agreed.
And so Ayra was there comforting the little cub while Commander Lynn went and brought something for her to have.
And after Ayra had had some nourishing breakfast, she had retired to get some sleep. A long deep sleep to recover some energy. And the cub also fell asleep after being comforted by her mother.
The two of them sleeping soundly until the system woke Ayra up later that night.
A loud beep sound as Ayra opened her eyes. A system table had popped up right before her and the voice read out the information it had for her.
