Vermillion,
Lion of Prideless
Played by Twesh
He got that feeling down his spine. The one that kept them all alive, the one that said you have company better check if they're friend or foe. His ears twisted around amongst his thick mane. He looked down and across in one swift movement while the sound of footfall rang clear in his ears. Who stood there was the last soul in the world he would have expected. It could have been anyone, it could have been a hare darting past in flight across the wasteland's grounds. Instead it was his daughter.

"You- you can't be here." It was disbelief that filled his voice and caught up in his throat. It threatened to choke him; nasty little black fingers clawed at his very soul to drag him back down. There was no way, this was a cruel dream. He was not the lion to deserve such a glorious and happy reunion; his daughter, she... she deserved better than him. He had failed to give her a happy, safe stable life. When Bri had had to watch her father die Wokabi's had been separated, a less severe state but did it matter when in the end their family severed? Vermillion's legs were frozen in place, his chest rattling with a number of quick breaths. "- you... you're here aren't you?" He asked this time with a voice weak, threatening to break the second 'no' hit his ears and she danced away as a specter on the breeze. Nothing but the result of too much time in the sun without water.
