Jeraha was a bit surprised- it was rare when someone else felt the same way as him about things. But he was glad to know that she didn't think everything needed to be rainbows and sunshine all the time, either. Sometimes it was better to just be honest about things, even if it was a little painful. Of course, sometimes he would rather take things to the grave than share them, but it was a case by case kind of thing. He would be honest when he needed to be, and keep things to himself the rest of the time.
But he wouldn't try and uplift someone if he didn't find truth behind his words. Offering someone false hope was probably the worst thing a lion could do, wasn't it?
"Well, you're one of the only ones to think I'm not grumpy," he chuckled faintly, "I'm pretty sure even my last mate thought I was a cranky lion." He frowned a moment, wondering why he had brought that up, and continued forward.
At least she thought his frown looked grumpy. That helped.
He watched as she attempted to look mean as well, refraining from laughing despite finding the whole thing amusing. "That wasn't bad," he informed her with a nod, "I think you would scare off even the mightiest lions with a glare like that. If only you were a little bit bigger."
