listentomymuse | Overlord and the pup

I wasn’t in the mood to be lazy about it.

[Which is saying something considering it’s him. Leona’s temper is already a bit frayed with how much work he’s put in already. With Akari having teased him before too, it bothers him more than he’d like to admit.]

Fair....

[Seth does worry about him. But he doesn't bother the lion but it is there. Leona can probably sense it. Akari might be getting a little impatient. She's already been apart for so long. No one wants her to become more bitter and vengeful. At least her energy has been directed to teasing and trying to allure the lion to her. That could shift.]

[Oh, no one wants that at all. The only issue here is that she is within Moroha and Leona isn’t going to do anything to the pup either.

Leona just sighs and finishes his coffee.]

[Seth finishes up]

Alright, I'll go get Moroha up. Just try to relax for a bit. I'm sure she'll want to shower and such too.

Alright.

[He nods to him.]

Make sure she doesn’t linger too much in the shower though.

...

[His ears flatten just a little]

How can I make sure of that? It's not like I can drag her out like I do with Zhen...

[The tiger loves water too]

Get creative.

[He looks amused.]

I believe in you.

[Seth pouts at him]

You're closer to her...

Are you scared of the pup, Seth?

[Leona raises a brow at him.]

[His ears shoot up and then drop again]

....Maybe a little. She's very emotional and quick to react. I don't know if she's going to be nice with me or bitey....Iris is very different. She's soft, gentle and I never have to worry how to approach her. This girl....

[Seth is not trying to be insulting at all. He just doesn't know how to handle Moroha and hes honest about it. Jack makes it look easy.

He rubs the back of his neck]

[...Wow, Seth.

Leona scoffs softly.]

I'll handle the pup then if she stays too long in the shower. Just go wake her up.

[Seth perks and nods! Leona is nice to him. But he goes ahead and leaves to wake up Moroha. Mythril snorts softly as he finishes his orange slice. The lion can be a bit soft to certain pride members more than others]

You got something to say, pipsqueak?

[Those eyes are suddenly on Mythril.]

[He stiffens and quickly shakes his head]

N-no. I just thought it was nice of you to deal with that girl in Seth's place is all...

[He stares hard at him.]

You sure that's all?

Yes....

[He ducks down]

I-Its a compliment.

[A longer stare before he sighs, finally moving his gaze away to finish his coffee.

It is hours later when they finally return to the palace.

Leona waves Ruggie off when the hyena comes to greet them, wanting nothing more than to just lay down and sleep longer.

Jack raises a brow at them.]

You guys look like you've been through a lot.

It's been....a trip. I'll fill you in later.

[Seth smiles lazily at Jack]

Its just been a long trip. Longer than we thought.

[Moroha seems fine now after sleeping. She does glance at Leona's back but doesn't stop him. She waves to Jack before going off to her room to change and such too]

Seems like it.

[Jack glances between Leona and Moroha. Hmm...

Leona is just...going straight to his room. Ugh, he's tired. Though he does feel a pull before he's tugged down into the underworld.]

Leona.

[Kao smiles sweetly at him. Welcome. Oh he's so pleased to finally have him by.]

I believe you owe me a visit for a long while now.

Kao.

[A slow blink before he exhales slowly.]

You couldn't have waited another day?

[He didn't even get to greet Iris yet.]

One day turns into another day and then a week, a month and over year....with you.

[He gives him a bit of a flat look]

You only have yourself to blame for putting things off for so long.

[smile]

I was busy.

[Don't smile at him like that.

He sighs, feeling his shoulders slump.]

Dont look so miserable. You'll bring down my mood as well. Am I really such a bother? I can start visiting if you prefer that.

[He casually walks over to him]

I was hoping to be able to enjoy my bed is all.

[His ear twitches when he comes closer.]

I'd rather you don't come to the palace. You make everyone antsy.
