[bloodthirstydawn]

[In a smooth motion, the lion is pushed from sitting to laying on his back with Kao over him, long hair spilling over his shoulder.]

It does. I feel like you're hiding from me. Do I scare even you, Leona?

[sunsetking]

[He looks up at him.]

What's there to be afraid of when it comes to you?

[bloodthirstydawn]

A lot of people fear me…you avoid me so much I’m starting to wonder with you. The lack of it was refreshing but now I’m not so sure…

[he runs his fingers through the lion’s mane]

[sunsetking]

[Leona scoffs at that.]

I've been busy, as I'm sure you know.

[He watches him.]

There's no reason for me to fear you.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[He lifts some of Leona’s hair up to his lip, looking down at him closely]

I’m glad. I wouldn’t want you to fear me. I do treasure what we have though I thought you could at least make time for me. I’m starting to think you don’t like me.

[sunsetking]

I’ve been busy lately. Hard to clear up my schedule.

[Nothing in his expression gives him away as he continues to watch Kao.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

You haven’t seem too busy to me. Is it because you picked up a new little pet? The quarter demon from the shrine? An interesting choice.

[His eyes glow faintly]

[sunsetking]

[His eyes begins to glow in return.]

Don’t think I’m a fan of you watching me.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Just observing in passing and checking in. Nothing more.

[He leans down more]

Would you like to rest here before we have our fun?

[sunsetking]

If you let me rest.

[A soft snort.]

You look like you’re ready to start the fun anyway.

[bloodthirstydawn]

I can wait just a bit longer. You’ve made me wait this long after all.

[He chuckles and slowly parts from him]

[sunsetking]

Now I got the feeling you're going to be holding that over my head for a while.

[He sighs heavily but closes his eyes.]

Make sure those two pests of yours don't go near my pride.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Perhaps…

[He looks down at him casually]

Aw they’re just curious is all. Maybe they want to befriend some of them.

[He chuckles]

[sunsetking]

You and I both know that’s not what goes through their minds most of the time.

[He yawns, stretching out.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

I’m sure they just miss Iris too.

[Hes amused]

But get your rest and don’t worry about anything else.

[sunsetking]

They touch her and they’re dead.

[Just saying. But he does…fall asleep. Even in the underworld, Leona has a natural talent for falling asleep anywhere.


It’s a few days later when Leona does return to the palace. It’s never easy leaving the underworld once Kao gets his hands on him.

Jack and Ruggie have been keeping Moroha company for the most part. Explaining to her it happens once in a while whenever Kao gets tired of waiting for the lion.

Leona yawns as he appears at the palace, rubbing the back of his neck.]
