Growing Up [Private: TheLastLion & Stormy]

[Stormy]

Conal leads Flash into the cave and sits. He watched as Flash came in with him.

[TheLastLion]

"So..." Flash said, his voice heavy with trepidation, "What was it you wanted to talk with me about?"

[Stormy]

“Sadie.” Conal replied frankly. “You need to be there for her. Especially now. She needs someone, and I’m not sure there’s anyone else here that can be besides YOU. Or at least offer the most comfort. She’s going to need it, she’s going to be moody for a good amount of time, even towards you, and you need to make sure you understand that. I don’t care what she says or does, you NEED to be there for her. That’s the only reason I’m ok with you being here right at this moment.”

[TheLastLion]

Flash nodded his head adamantly as he assented to Conal's wishes. "I'll be by her side no matter what, I swear it!" He said firmly.

[Stormy]

Conal sighs. “I’ve never told anyone this, besides Jay who knew about it, but I was going to have a family of my own. But I failed to protect them, and it was gone in the blink of an eye. Ever since Sadie was born, I’ve felt a sense of responsibility to protect Sadie even if she wasn’t mine, so the same thing didn’t happen to the Queen.” Conal says. “I don’t even know if Sadie likes me now, but that’s why I need YOU to be there. Because I can’t be there like you could.”

[TheLastLion]

Flash was left speechless. "I... I had no idea, Conal. I'm so sorry for your loss."

[Stormy]

"Don't mention that to Sadie." Conal says quickly. He changes the subject. "And I swear to god Flash, if you try to get ANYTHING out of Sadie, ANYTHING, during her vulnerable state I will RIP OFF your head and send it to parker. Got it?"

[TheLastLion]

Flash cringed and stepped back with shock, but nodded his head.

[Stormy]

"Okay. Go." Conal says dismissing Flash. Flash goes back out the cave and walks over back to Sadie.

[TheLastLion]

"Sadie, how are you feeling right now?" Flash asked.
