[Jack watches her before looking at Iris.]

You okay?

--

Fair.

[Leona sighs, reaching up to rub his temples.]

Just wasn't expecting you to call me out all the way here.

[She nods, pushing her hair back over her shoulder]

Yes...I was just looking forward to time with Papa. I think its good for him to get out here and be with all of us.

[She understands he needed to go and wouldn't of stopped him either but alas...]

--

You can go back if its that much trouble. It makes no difference to me. Munin just favors your hyena too much.

[She shrugs her shoulders as she steps forward.]

Have you noticed anything?

I don't disagree with you. He's been working harder than usual lately.

[He sighs.]

--

[Leona grunts. Poor Ruggie.

Still, he nods, eyes glowing faintly.]

They're hiding within your waters.

Which usually means something is going on in the background....I wish he would speak to us more about it and not handle it on his own.

[Her ears fall a bit]

--

You're sure of that?

[She looks to him]

They're probably scared of you.

You know how your father can be.

[Jack frowns.]

---

[Leona snorts.]

I don't see why they would.

[He tilts his head.]

Has that pirate been lingering around, too?

I know....

[She sighs softly.]

--

He comes and goes from what I have heard. But he is about yes...

[She crosses her arms]

You really aren't good at making friends, are you?

[He pats her head.]

—

[He grins at that.]

If I was, you and I probably won’t be talking right now.

[Jack is a good wolf. She does lean into his touch some, her tail swaying. There's really not much they can do about it but wait for his return.]

--

[She gives a sigh at that. He's not wrong. She isn't exactly the friendliest either. But most just leave her alone. Leona seems to attract trouble.]

Don't sound too pleased now...There is a rumor going around that you are looking to expand your territory. I few even warned me about it so I believe they're looking to use that as a reason to start pushing against your boarders. A few demon lords are even making deals based around that rumor.

[She naturally has no interest but given her terriroty is one of Leona's boarders they sure thought she would jump at the chance. If anything having the lion there is beneficial to her.]

Baseless rumors.

[Leona can’t help but snort at that.]

Lesser demon lords tend to start acting irrationally based on word of mouth. It won’t be long before they start doing something stupid.

I thought I would be nice enough to give you a heads up. You might start getting some at your doorstep.

[She isnt surprised]

I’m looking forward to it. It’d be a reason to give the pride to work out.

[He hums.]

Has any one of them give you any trouble?

Not yet. I usually take care of those kind quickly or give a heavy warning.

[She pushes her pink hair over her shoulder]

But the next one that does I can send your way if you're that bored. It sounds like you are. Word has gotten around you got a strong priestess in your claws. They're wondering why you havent devoured her yet to boost your power. Someone might try to snatch her to keep you from getting stronger.

[Though its clear he isnt planning to eat the quater demon. A waste in Machi's opinion but Leona always has his reasons.]

Hm, they can mind their own business. How I handle the priestess is mine.

[He can’t help but scoff.]

‘Sides, if I devoured her, I doubt any of ‘em would be brave enough to challenge me even more.

[The lion is feared, after all. All it takes is a flick of a wrist to turn a whole forest and then some into sand. How he can even dry out the sea if he gets serious enough. No reason to give him even more of a power boost.]

True that. Even I would rather you not get any stronger.

[Hes dangerous]

Cute you're fond of that little girl though.

[She gives a small snicker but nothing more.]

I merely wanted to inform you of what I know and have been hearing.

She’s something.

[He holds back a snicker, tail curling.]

But thanks for that. If they want war, they’ll get one.
