Glozelle:
The sun was beginning to set over the desert sands as Glozelle walked along them. He had been allowed to take on a small piece of the guardian patrol's rounds after he had healed up enough to do so, though there was always someone a little bit further into the pridelands, making sure that the outsider didn't bring in anyone that would cause trouble. Not that Gloz would, he was at just as high a risk as Caspian was should their pride members come back. But it was all a matter of trust and he had not earned it yet.
His shoulder began to ache a bit from the walking, so he sat down, his distracted mind pulling his gaze from the desert and to the lands where his half-brother had made himself a family.
Family... How many times had he dreamed of it as a cub? He had thought all families had been like his for a time, but when he had been confronted by the truth, seeing a father play with his son, a mother groom her daughter, he understood that he was wrong. There was nothing familial in how Ilea had been raising her nephew and daughter. His cousin was the only family he had ever had.
Until now... What would he do without Ebio, Zhen, Caspian's curious little whelps? Could he really leave them behind? But his cousin... He'd promised her.
And what had become of her? He had so many suspicions and he hoped none of them were true. He hoped that Miraz and Sopesian knew nothing of her involvement, nothing of her abilities. Ever the protecting brother, he never wanted to see her hurt, even if she was being unreasonable.
Miela:
Never. Again.
Gods, when she got her paws on her cousin, she would thrash him for sure, healing or no. She couldn't even count the days she spent wandering the desert looking for him. They all sort of melded together into an annoyingly long time. She'd been able to hunt and find small sources of water well enough, but that wasn't enough. She was exhausted from the traveling, hot, and heart-sick for her cousin, her brother. And yet... when she Saw him, he seemed... fine. Sometimes he was alone, watching the desert or lying in shady places, sometimes he was with a small female, sometimes beset by cubs who didn't see how bothered he was behind his stoic mask. Growing up with him, she could tell. Even though those around him were content, he was uncomfortable where he was, as if he was biding his time to leave.
She stopped to dip her head enough to rub the back of her paw over her forehead, and when she looked up again, as if conjured from her thoughts, there was a big brown lion with a pelt on his back. She knew that pelt as well as she knew the scent of the lion who wore it.
Heart leaping, she took off in a run over the sands.
"Gloz!"
Glozelle:
Gloz turned at the sound of his name, of running paws over the hot sand. For the first time since he had been forced to flee from his pride, a look of utter joy crossed his face as he leapt up and ran for the female. He tackled her when he was close enough and they rolled happily in the sand for few moments, laughing and pawing at one another. They finally ended up with Ela on her back in the sand with him looming over her.
She had found him! Ela had found him and she was alright. And there wasn't a single other lion in sight. Oh, how he could believe that she had come on her own, that she had no part in the assassination attempt, that all of his worries had been for nothing. She was his cousin, no, his sister and he knew in whatever piece was left of his heart that she would never betray him.
"I thought they might have found you out, had done something to you. Alive and well... I'm so glad to see you," he rushed out, nuzzling her cheek and neck happily.
Miela:
Ela just laughed as her big brother showered her with affections she knew he reserved only for her. It had been so hard for him to ever open up to anyone, but they had been together since her birth, he had built his life on saving her and there had been no one else for either of them.
That had changed, she knew, but she wasn't going to bring that up. Not yet.
"They told everyone you were dead, but I didn't believe it. No one could kill my rock without me feeling it, but I knew you'd been hurt. I volunteered to go find your body as soon as I could," she replied , hugging paws around his neck as he nuzzled her. All thoughts of thrashing him over the trip she had had fled her mind, replaced only by the relief to have found him, alive and well from what she could tell.
Glozelle:
Gloz finally stopped his nuzzling, pressing his head into the crook of her neck and shoulder as her words reminded him of the promise he had failed to keep.
"I'm sorry, Ela... I didn't want to leave you behind, but I couldn't go back to the pride to find you. I was too badly hurt." His words were muffled as he said them, ears back with his shame. He had failed her as often as he had made her smile, probably more so. The one promise he had ever made her, that he would always be with her, that she would never have to be alone, unprotected. The only promise he had ever made, and he had broken it.
Miela:
It took so much effort not to cry at Gloz's anguished words into her fur. She was nowhere near as emotional as the lioness she had seen her rock with, but knowing that he thought he had failed her struck a cord in her heart.
"I know you couldn't, that's why I came after you, idiot," she replied, nudging his head to get his attention, gold eyes meeting gold as she got him to look down at her again.
"You didn't fail me." She smiled at him, leaning up to give him another nuzzle before roughly shoving him off of her. A playful grin had found her way onto her face as she stood up and shook the sand from her fur and the pelt she also wore on her back.
"You did, however, make it damned hard trying to track your furry butt down. If I couldn't See things others can't, I doubt I would have been able to. You owe me, Brother. Seriously. There had better be a nice place for me to rest and cool my paws while you massage my shoulders and I tell you all about what happened after you went missing."
Ebio'Femi:
It was just a tiring time taking care of someone you couldn't share their pain, but little by little. Zhen was letting go, and slowly becoming apart of the pride. Little by little it was slowly coming to her and her times at school were becoming less problematic. Homeschooling her for a good portion til she became 'tamed' enough again to go. She just... needed someone to talk to. Sometimes she would hear several things about the child's past only by whispers.. Another time when she yelled at her- yelling that -"I HAVE A MOM! YOUR NOT HER! OK! YOU WILL NEVER BE HER! AND I HAVE A DAD OK! AND A FAMILY!" When she first got in trouble and was devastated on how to act and was becoming a crash house waiting to happen.
Slowly, that Zhen started to disappear, noting that she couldn't just go back to her pride. She settled and with Gloz's help... It made it easier to cope with two 'parents' there in a sense. Though they were never together, a grounded Gloz and a motherly Ebio made a good balance for Zhen and it really built her to recovery. They... were so close... Somehow in Ebio's mind. She and Gloz had gotten closer and all thanks to the child.. She thought- finally. She would have a family of her own. Spending as much time as she could with Gloz before he 'left'. After dropping off Zhen and doing her substitute duties, she went off in search for him.
In her sack, she had a present for him. Gloves to help protect his paws in combat and the hot sands. Excited because she learned how to make them by an old friend, she wondered what they were for and Ebio's cheeks flushed to respond before going off. They matched his back fur and the bands that held them. Off about where he usually was keeping guard. She went down the sandy hill. Looking like she was sliding off something high as she hit the valley then up another hill before she got to where she thought he was... and up that hill she saw a female and Gloz. Excited- was it someone from a new land? A traveler? Not even thinking that it could be something different, she went up to surprise him from behind but her heart stopped along with her whole body.. Frozen in a gasp. Her neck felt immensely heated and it felt like her heart beat was in her throat.. It took only moments before her paws went back.
Pulling her sack off and throwing it down before turning around and started to head up the hill again. It tore her a new one the sight of him on top of another? That hard face? Now so sweetened? Before her pace picked up. Tears started to form, and she didn't even want to shed them. It hurt too bad..
Glozelle:
Gloz let Ela shove him with a laugh, trying to cling to his happiness at seeing his little cousin well and the same. She didn't blame him, he hadn't failed her, she hadn't betrayed him, and she was alright. Sure, she was not happy about the journey, but he could tell that she was just as happy to see him as he was her, she was just more open to teasing him than he was. It had always been that way, at least when they were alone.
They couldn't look too friendly in front of their superiors. Ela knew the dangerous path Gloz had started on just as well as he did. She could be used against him, and vice versa.
"There are plenty of places to rest he-" He stopped when he heard a noise behind him and turned to see Ebio's quickly retreating form. He frowned.
Miela:
Ela heaved herself into a standing position and walked to Gloz's side as he turned to look at what had made the noise they had both heard.
Oh, it was that female she had sometimes saw with her cousin, helping him heal. It didn't take an ancient scholar, a seer, or a god to figure out what was up.
"Oh, Brother. You're in trouble," she said with a part sympathetic and part sardonic smile. She jerked her head in the direction of the other female.
"Go catch her before she thinks up even more wrong ideas."
Glozelle:
It took Gloz a moment of frowning in confusion as he tried to figure out what in the world Ela was talking about. And, honestly, even after that heartbeat or two, he still wasn't sure what wrong ideas or why on earth he'd be in trouble.
But, then, Ela was the perceptive one.
So he took off at a run, his healed body eating the distance quickly as he called out to the healer.
"Ebio!"
Ebio'Femi:
Her ears planted on her head as she ran and unreluctantly had watery eyes, but was trying to keep a stiff head on not being hurt. No, she didn't let anyone in. She couldn't get hurt again- distance.. DISTANCE! But she failed at it and left to crumble in her own heart. When he called out to her, she didn't turn until he had gotten up to her completely, and she slid in a turn around to face him. Her chest up and looking very upset. Huffing, trying to desperately not to cry.. they teased at her creases. "Please- I don't wanna know." Shaking her head, then looking down to bring up her anger. He had already gotten past her defenses that she put up long ago, and looked up with a piercing look. Eyes, so dangerous that it didn't fit well on her face. "I ..I FELL FOR YOU!" Growling as it ached even to talk, with that knot in her throat. "I..can't believe I fell for you- I'm the foolish one. No WONDER you wanted to leave so badly! Don't come near me!" She started to yell and plainly she looked hurt even saying it. "Just- I'm the foolish one- I didn't see it sooner. Never wondered why." A tear fell down one side of her face as she bite her lip as to not shed any more.
The build up was terrible and her chest felt tight and painful from the hurt. About to turn her forebody to leave and high tail it out of there... She. How could she even look at Zhen anymore? The memories they all built together.. This would be the push she needed to leave the pride she loved so much. Another lost love? No more.
Glozelle:
Gloz skidded to a stop in the sand when she rounded on him and started yelling. All the relief he had felt suddenly turned on its head as he was confronted by the lioness he had come to care a great deal for, once he finally admitted it to himself. Ears back, eyes wide and blinking, he listened to her rant, not a damn clue what she was talking about.
She'd fallen for him? Well... He would have had to been blind not to notice that, but why was she so...
And then it hit him, like an almost physical blow. Ela had picked up on it, he wasn't used to this kind of thing but she was. He never showed anyone any sort of affection, not really. For someone like Ebio to see him rolling about, laughing and happy with another female...
"Ebio, wait, I-" But there was no getting any word in through her ranting. He was not a lion used to being the submissive.
"Dammit, Ebio, shut up and listen," he barked out, a general's order. His face softened slightly almost immediately, though he didn't move from where he stood.
"Ela is my cousin. She's like my baby sister. I promised her I'd never leave her behind and without my influence our pride, anything could have happened to her."
Ebio'Femi:
"It hurts ok! I won't go through this again!" She hissed back and of course.. The rant was all of anger until told her to shut it. Tears started to come down, in slow lures. It still hurt- the knot in her throat and she shook her head almost refusing to want to listen til he spilled it out. Her ears went up and she looked at him, surprised- yet not sure if she believed it. Taken back by it before she leaned to see the female some ways behind but coming towards them. Then looking at him. They looked nothing alike but I guess with enough bloodlines, it could happen. Then looked back at him... almost questioningly confused. "So.. so she not your mate?" Tilting her head and slowly moving back still. Even if it was just a little. If she wasn't mad- it'd be embaressment she'd feel more than anything. Crushing dreams before she knew what was really up. The explaination sounded so believable and it was easy to trick her anyways even if he was lying. Then it hit her.
'I just told him- I fell for him. NO! Oh no- no this is bad..' Retreating in her mind as she came to that realization that she really was deep in for him. That just wrecked her as a smile crept on the edges of her face.. from being so angry- It just didn't fit her face. Tears rolling down as she laughed. "I'm so stupid!" Shaking her head and looking down. She was about to ask if they could forget this ever happened but now embaressment started to kick in and that wasn't a pleasant feeling at all! Hiding her face with an immensely tinted face.
Glozelle:
Gloz's eyes went wide again before he made a face that was way too boyishly disgusted for him by her suggestion.
"Gods, no. We just..." he sort of trailed off there, looking back to the female so unlike him and yet so similar where it really counted. She knew him, inside and out, as if they were inseparable twins. She had been his lifeline when they were growing up, the little ball of fluff that kept him going every day of his life. And he had been her protector, her guardian, her playmate and her friend, the father she didn't have, the caregiver she needed. Ela was smiling as she sat a distance away, a knowing smile as usual. If he didn't know her better, he might have thought she was listening to their conversation.
"My aunt, her mother... She wanted to kill her, like all of my other cousins, because they were rogue-born. I got her away from Ilea before she could strike. We're all we've ever had..." He paused there to return his attention to Ebio, a small frown on his face, bothered as he was by his own feelings. He still didn't want to tell her anything. Ela was here, safe, but... But he needed to know what was happening in the pride. He needed to stop them from coming here. Stop them from coming anywhere near his... family.
"Until now, I suppose."
Ebio'Femi:
Oh...." Shaking her head more. "I'm really sorry Glozelle.. I- I don't know what got in to me..I just.. you know.. umm.." Looking for ways to get out of it but really it was back in a corner. "I feel.. so bad.. Why.. why don't you let her rest in my den- and.. we can forget this ever happened?" Taking a step back, then foreward right beside Gloz but looking the opposite way.
Then she heard those words- well, she thought it could be but now- STILL- it was slightly warming and touching, she looked up at him across her shoulder. "........"
"..Til she came? It.. is always nice seeing family again.." Leaning on his shoulder for a moment before leaning away. "..........?" She didn't want to assume anymore than she did so she wouldn't get embaressed or in trouble again. Hiding the hurt like a bandaid again..
Miela:
Finally Miela was tired of waiting where she was just watching them, reading body language. Oh, that girl had it hard for her big brother and from what she could tell, Gloz was almost just as bad. So what was he holding back for?
Never subtle when it came to her rock, though others usually didn't get her message, the large lioness walked up to the pair, looked from one to the other, and gave Gloz a questioning look.
"Okay, Brother, what's going on? I know you, what's your game?"
Glozelle:
Forget this ever happened, it would be a cold day in the desert when that happened. Gloz wouldn't mention it, but he sure wasn't going to forget Ebio's worded to him, even if they were emotionally charged. He knew she cared about him, but falling for him, that was a different story.
Ela walked up, reminding him why he had to go back. It was like code between the pair of them. Even though she was vague, he could tell what she wanted to know. His ears flicked back as he caught her stare and slowly shook his head. He knew she'd have none of that though.
"Someone has to keep an eye on the pride. Caspian said that a small party has already found this place, I.... I have to do something. Discredit them or... something."
Miela:
Ela gave Gloz a droll look and let out a huff of a sigh.
"Really, Brother, you are a right idiot sometimes," she replied, shaking her head. She considered it. Gloz was right, it would be good for someone to keep an eye on the pride from the inside, a spy, and while Gloz did have the position to do so, it was also a position that was much too public. And, if her suspicions were right, too dangerous. Someone was out to get him killed and he might not win like last time.
"You're too obvious, Gloz! And sure your position is high, but I can bet a week's worth of good hunting that someone, if not someones are going to be watching you carefully. Miraz doesn't trust you half the time since you lost Caspian, and I'm not so sure about Sopesian or half the other lords." Rambling on, she had started to pace a bit, waving one paw slightly as her thoughts flowed.
But then she stopped, and gave Gloz the smirk she used to give him when she had something naughty and clever in mind. Like when they hid all of Ilea's jewelry for hitting Gloz so hard his eye swelled shut.
"But I'm a nobody. Just another tracker. I can't get in some of the places you can, but I can certainly go about unnoticed and my special skills make it even more worthwhile." She watched as Gloz's eyes widened, though he still frowned. He'd argue, she had no doubt, since it would be dangerous and he was always looking out for her. But in the end she would win.
She always won, even when he just let her.
Glozelle:
It took a moment for Ela's words to really sink in. She was right, but the thought of her going back into that viper's nest made his stomach clench even as his heart leapt at the thought that he might be able to stay here.
The protective older brother in him won out.
"The hell you will," he growled back, frowning sternly at her. "I'm not letting you go back to that den of snakes just because I don't trust a lion I helped put on the throne."
Miela:
Not to be intimidated by anyone, least of all the male who protected and raised her all her life, Ela took a step forward, toe-to-toe with Gloz. He was bigger than her, not by too much, but enough to be noticeable and still she stood up to him.
"The hell I will!" she shot back, raising one paw and shoving his shoulder.
"I'll get myself a bird to send to you and you'll not be stopping me. If I have to thrash you until you can't follow me, believe me, I'll do it!"
Glozelle:
Gloz... actually looked at a loss. Ela was right and he knew that there was no backing down for her once she made her mind up on something. Gods, he would be a nervous wreck waiting on a bird from her with this stupid plan. And yet... deep down he knew this was the best possible scenario.
Finally, he sighed and hung his head until their foreheads touched.
"I pity the fool that ever tries to put you in your place, Sister," he said with a small chuckle. He watched her eyes narrow with her triumphant and yet loving smile before he turned away, to Ebio.
"I guess I won't be leaving after all."
Ebio'Femi:
So many things were happening and Ebio was at a loss of what was going on. These lions he had mentioned before. All names she knew but never had a face to put on them, and how they got Gloz's skin to heighten. That meant she shouldn't have a face to put- and would probably never meet them and somehow that was a good thing. The ings he went through, probably the only thing she knew was that. Safety, so being where a place was dangerous, she didn't know anything about.
She turned when they went toe to toe and slowly she pulled back. Looking onwards to the female. A lot of strength, she couldn't even compare. Though, she didn't have to. In her heart- maybe that is something he wanted and she didn't have that. Except for the stubbornness because she had a lot of it in recent years. Not throwing out a peep as it wasn't her business before they got physical and her ears pulled back. "Please- !" She chirped. "Your journey must have been long. Please, let me show you to my home- it is safe and you may rest there.. maybe talk some more?" Someone standing up to Gloz? Well the only real time she did it was when he was being stubborn and didn't want her to help him. Regardless she would have done it anyway. Sighing at them, yes. Now it really was apparent that they were close to siblings and they were a lot taller than her. A smile crossed her face with an absent worry. When she was addressed, she perked up and looked to her side at Gloz.
The words filled a very happy void in Ebio and the news was purely the best news shes ever heard. "!?" She couldn't help to almost jump but pulled herself together just before she did. That smile- went from ear to ear. "That's wonderful!" But.. from what she heard. Why trade a soul for another? None were ever more important than another. "But~.. what does this all mean? Will- but. Wouldn't you be in danger then?" Looking at the girl now, a worry wart- she was a mother after all.
Miela:
Ela just smiled and shook her head.
"Not really. I'm just a tracker, and a female. Even if I'm exceptional, the lords won't pay any attention to me. It's a tough place, but I'll be fine. I can't try and keep them from coming here, but I can send word if they send out more hunting parties," she replied with a determined nod. She had Seen Gloz here when she had been trying to track him. And he had been happy, for all he showed it. He didn't want to leave, and she didn't want to make him have to. Not when she could do his task, and easier.
"I would, however, really like that den offer. My paws are killing me and I hate this wretched sun," she added, giving Gloz's lady a wink, her smile changing into something of a tease.
Glozelle:
Gloz rolled his eyes. No, there was no getting her to back out. But while he hated the idea of her going back there, she was still right. And he wanted to stay, with his nieces and nephews, with Zhen, with Ebio.
"She's right, Ebio. She'll be fine," he finally agreed, hanging his head a bit before he gave Ela's cheek a little nuzzle. He normally wasn't affectionate with his cousin in front of others, but with Ebio... It was different. She knew things about him that only Ela knew and he was starting to feel like he shouldn't keep secrets from her. Oh, he wouldn't tell her half of what had happened to him in the past, he didn't want her to see him and think of that. But other things...
He walked away from his cousin and moved closer to Ebio, giving her cheek a nuzzle as well, and a small lick, almost in experimentation.
"I also agree on getting out of the sun for a bit."
Ebio'Femi:
A sigh of happiness and defeat all at once. She was beyond too kind and they hadn't even spoke for a day yet. "I envy how strong you are then." Giving a nod as she looked from Gloz to Ela, and yes she was right it seemed. The girl was tiured and she took a step forward to her to comfort before Gloz had the same notion, except more affectionate.
It felt more like a brick wall with these two, maybe over time she would learn their ways and maybe extend the helping hand she wanted. Same with Zhen, over time. "Zhen is at school, so we have a good while before she comes out and-" Then the lick came mid sentence and she was possibly overly dumbfoudned at the notion. "Ah...." A blank expression then the blush came. "Er..ah..umm.." She looked back at him, sorta confused- was she suppose to lick back? The hesitation came and then she slinked away. 'Retreat!' She yelled inside her. "Follow- ah.. me then?" Looking all kinds of scrambled over what happened.
Miela:
Oh, her poor, poor big brother. This is why he was always so uncomfortable with feelings. He'd gotten to be so detached from them around anyone but her that when he tried towards someone else, they shied away.
He was happy that he didn't have to leave this place, she could tell. She could also tell that he was glad to stay with this lioness, and probably the Zhen she had mentioned. But he couldn't convey any of this. Not really. He didn't know how and honestly it just wasn't in him.
He'd figure his own way in time, she was certain.
"You'll do better next time," she whispered to Gloz as she passed him, heading to the other lioness' side.
"There's not really anything to envy. Hard lives make for tough adults, I suspect. Besides, my rock took more than enough blows for me, I think it's time I took one for him." She lowered her voice when she spoke to Ebio, keeping the words quiet and for the most part from Gloz's hearing, or at least she counted on that. If she had to help them along by playing some sort of matchmaker, well she was a very flexible individual. She always did what she could when she could.
"If you don't mind me sayin' so... Next time he tries something like that, just kind of go with it. He's kind of like an ostrich egg. Really hard on the outside, but more soft than you might think when you get through the shell. Or when you get him to come out of it, for that matter."
Glozelle:
If Gloz was upset by the response to his attempt at pleased affection towards Ebio, he didn't show it. At least, he didn't think he did. When she shied away from him, he merely moved his own step back and schooled his face into his usual neutrality. He shouldn't have done that, he knew almost immediately that it had been the wrong thing to try and do.
He didn't move until his sister nudged him and whispered in his ear. Of course she had noticed! Her perception was annoyingly good when it came to the slight changes in his body language. It was to be expected, yes, but that didn't make it any less a bother to him.
A slight flex of his shoulders to shed his own embarrassment and he started off after the girls, keeping a few paces behind so that he could firstly stay out of whatever conversation they were having, since by Ela's actions it was a private conversation. And secondly, so that he could consider all that was happening.
Ebio'Femi:
"Rock?" Then a chuckle came out of her of the realization on who that was. Obviously. "Oh!~" Hinting she found out whom they were speaking then nodded softly. "I am sorry I am on the opposite side of that.. I feel more further away because I haven't been through your heartaches but still I want to try and make them better." SHowing compassion for what she knew in her heart was true to her. Sighing before she kept walking, Noting Glozelle was some phases behind them and felt the need to be next to him but still pushing that side of her heart away...
'I...don't even know how to act anymore..' She thought to herself until she was interupted by the soft voice and so different in tone. Looking at the girl, questioningly. "What do you mean? I- I mean.. ah..I feel slightly odd myself- " A soft giggle at Gloz being an ostrich egg no less.
"I hardly know what I am looking to.. I mean..I-" Confused with her own emotions though half of her knew she wanted to persue the feeling the other blocked it off as to not set themselves up for failure. Blushing brightly..
Miela:
Ela sighed a bit and shook her head, but still she smiled.
"I've known him my whole life, and I've never seen him touch another creature like he just tried with you. Me, yes, but I'm his cousin, his adoptive sister if not daughter, he raised me after all. Even if he was too young to really do so," she explained lowly, her smile soft.
"We don't need you to be sorry, especially not because you have had a good life. That should be something we should all be thankful for, Gloz and me especially because we get to know someone like you." She paused there, trying to choose her words carefully. This was her Gloz after all and while this female seemed nice and cared for him, from all she had seen here and in her visions, she still wanted this to be their choices, rather than her pushing.
Honestly, though, she wanted her big brother to be happy.
"I'm not sure you can see it, but take it from me. He does care about you. Knowing him, he didn't want to hurt you. He knew he had to go back for me, and to protect you and this pride. Which would have hurt more when he left, if he had pushed you away or if he had made it clear that he cared?"
Glozelle:
Gloz wasn't really sure that he liked them conspiring like that. He had a distinct feeling that they were talking about him and while Ela always had her heart in the right place, she was notorious for meddling. She was always one to give him advice and when he had been training warriors, she was always asking him about his opinions on the female recruits. Or the ladies that had made subtle advances to the young lord.
None of which he cared for more than a paw-reach, if at all.
But Ebio... Maybe it was a good thing that Ela was talking to her. He could admit it to himself, he did care for her, just like Zhen did. He hated her cheerful, pushy attitude sometimes, but he hated to see that smile of hers fade away even more. Knowing that Ela was the better choice to spy on their pride, that she would be safe there and knew when to get out, he felt as if a weight had left his shoulders. He could stay here without having to worry too much.
With Ebio and Zhen.
It wasn't until that moment that he realized just how much he had wanted to stay.
Ebio'Femi:
"You really think so?" As she was, when it came to the interests of love~ once she was so indulged by it and now she seemed so.. questionable about it. If Ela, his cousin, daughter, and sister~ unsure if she understood correctly noticed it then it had to be true.. Wasnt it?
"Ah.. why thank you.." She came up to but a whsiper in her speech.. Continued walking towards the inside. Having one guard give a nod for Gloz and herself were with the lioness in question. "I~ Believe so. I just.. am scared.. maybe I am over thinking.. I do that sometimes." Looking to the girl with a soft smile. "I didn't think I would be having this conversation, I had lost all hope for so long it seems unreal to be talking about someone caring about me. I feel so.." Like a no one. From how she spoke to her best friend before hand. Giving a side look to Gloz behind them, a touching face.. she wouldn't even think now, how much he had meant to her..
