There’s a shrug given, one shouldered and vague. There’s ways Arcane would run a pride if that were ever to tickle her fancy - the issue there was it never had, and the loner doubts it ever will. Ruling just looked boring, but then so is living alone. There’s a happy medium somewhere there, but she is yet to find it. Living under another’s paw…. It irritated her. At least the ones she’d been in.

She shouldn’t like the laugh, but it’s pleasant. The first sign of something remotely nice under all that gruff and ego. Arcane’s head tilts a fraction, and she lets a smile creep across her lips. "You care what I think?" They both know the truth of that - he couldn’t care less, and the question is rhetorical - but he asked, so the poor fool is going to get an answer.

"I would have you greet strangers better. You might rule here but you won’t keep it long without a pride. You can’t piss all over the place, fight the threats and feed yourself alone. Not if you want to enjoy what you got, too." Her nose scrunches up with her grin. "If they wanna drink, let them have one. But what would I know? I’m just some dumb girl." And perhaps her expression shifts a little, to something more like a sneer. She can’t help it, anymore than she can help her tail flicking in irritation.
