[sunsetking]

You worry too much.

[His tail trails up along his thigh.]

How's Zhen and the cub doing?

[bloodthirstydawn]

[He feels that tail]

They seem fine. The cub is sticking by the tiger. The tiger is healed up minus a few scratches and I think his rib was bruised but healing. He’s mostly just laying around…no different than when he was healthy.

[Snort]

[sunsetking]

Unsurprising of Zhen.

[Hm, the cub however...]

How did the cub look to you?

[bloodthirstydawn]

I didn't really get a good look at him. Are you....looking for something or are you worried about him?

[Rom blinks a bit]

[sunsetking]

I just need a gauge on his mental health.

[So yes. Concern. Leona’s always had a bit of a soft spot for cubs though he doesn’t like to surround himself with children.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

I’d be more worried if Zhen wasn’t with the cub since it’s like we stole him from his streak. Hopefully the tiger is able to explain in a way that cub can understand.

[Rom shrugs]

At least you got Kagami a playmate though I haven’t seen the cub around…

[Which is weird since he seems to like to tag along Leona a lot ]

[sunsetking]

I haven’t been attacked by the cub yet so we’ll see.

[He shrugs.]

Kagami’s taken a liking to Moroha.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Time will tell.

[Hopefully it isn’t too much trouble. He blinks a bit]

Already? I’m surprised.

[sunsetking]

Kagami’s always been a good judge of character.

[He shrugs and lets his tail wrap around Rom’s thigh.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

Another reason for you to like her then?

[He leans a bit, touching shoulders with him. His tail curls and uncurls]

[sunsetking]

She ain’t all that bad.

[Leona sighs as he relaxes.]

You two might even be able to get along.

[bloodthirstydawn]

I’m not so sure about that. She’s a bit young and immature.

[His ear flicks a bit and he leans against Leona more. There’s a small mew as kirara sniffs at Leona’s leg]

[sunsetking]

You were the same when I first met you.

[He peers down at Kirara and pats his lap in invitation if she wants to jump up.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[He blinks and his ears flatten]

That’s different. It just is.

[Kirara’s ears perk and she happily jumps into his lap, making herself comfortable]

[sunsetking]

You sure about that?

[He chuckles. Reaching down, he begins to pet Kirara.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

I’m sure the same can be said for a young Leona…

[He snorts softly]

[sunsetking]

Then we’ll just be going around in circles.

[A soft snort.

He looks up and pulls Rom down a bit to kiss him properly.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Rom blinks! His ears shoot up and perk at the kiss. He wasn’t really expecting it at all. But it does have him leaning in more to return the kiss properly if not deepen it some.]

[sunsetking]

[He purrs at that and then pulls back after a moment.]

Relax, Rom. Ain’t gonna do us any good if you’re tense all the time.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[He blinks slowly but gives a slow nod]

I ain’t tense all the time…

[He just doesn’t like the mouse or rabbit and moroha is a strange pick…]

[sunsetking]

You’re on edge though.

[That’s enough for the lion.]

Just relax a bit.

[bloodthirstydawn]

I’m fine. I just want you to be careful is all.

[and he doesn’t get the interest in Moroha…]

[sunsetking]

Told you before, I’m always careful.

[Can’t he be interested in someone?

He scratches under Kirara’s chin. Don’t want her feeling neglected.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Kirara purrs loudly~ she leans more into his touch.

Rom sighs softly]

I get that… I just wonder…and it’s not my business but…you might be catching stray feelings for this girl cause of her connection to Akari…

[He glances to him]

[sunsetking]

[He’s just going to spoil her with attention.

One ear flicks toward Rom though.]

You think I’m that sort of person?

[To catch feelings just because she reminds him of someone else? Leona is already aware of it. It’s why he hadn’t really done more toward Moroha.

She’s not Akari, he knows that better than anyone. Roho knows that. He’s not that cruel to mess with someone’s feelings like that.]
