Lion of Prideless
Played by Twesh

"And it's not your fault you didn't." His chest rumbled with a growl, his voice deepening. "It's not your mother's fault either." His heart ached upon the word mother- his voice hitched a little and cracked amongst the middle of the sentence as his pain welled up and felt consuming. "It's that man-" That man, man, man. Good thing Bri was there because you certainly weren't. Vermillion hated whoever this was, and they surely deserved it but how much of his own guilt was being turned into fuel?

Mercifully Wokabi wretched him from the hurt he was feeling, out of the anger out right and into a much more soothing feeling. He thought it quite endearing- the sleepiness in her voice and the humbleness in seeking one of the most simple of life's pleasures. A nap. She thought herself silly and Vermillion instead saw his little girl, not all that grown up, and it brightened his heart a little. The dark lion smiled and felt a swelling of relief in his breast. He felt weak in the knees as he leaned over to thump her head with his muzzle and place a nuzzle along her crown. "Let's find a comfortable place to rest- and I'll be here when you wake." And forever after until life saw it fit to change that. Today however at least was promised to them and today he had a lot to make up for (if it was even possible to do so...).
