Growing Up [Private: TheLastLion & Stormy]

[TheLastLion]

"Alright," Nicki responded. "And since you're a Panther, you're probably something of a loner?"

[Stormy]

“Well, that’s a way to put it.” Jen replied. “But I prefer it this way.”

[TheLastLion]

Nicki nodded before continuing with her line of questioning. "I suppose the most obvious question is: How can I trust you?"

[Stormy]

Jen shrugged. “I dunno. That’s up to you. I don’t really care whether you do or not, I was just seeing why you were roaming out here all alone so late. But let’s be fair here, if I wanted to I would’ve already torn your head off or hurled you off this tree which probably could’ve killed you from this height.” She says. “But... I haven’t.”

[TheLastLion]

"You could have," Nicki conceded. "I guess the real kicker is that there's no way to know if you're here to help me or not."

[Stormy]

Jen’s eyes shift to the side. “Uhh.... help you with what?”

[TheLastLion]

"Whether you're here to use me for something I don't know about or if you're just here to talk."

[Stormy]

“Well, I had nothing planned.” She replies. “You said this is where you come to think. What were you thinking about? Do I get to hear about family drama?”

[TheLastLion]

Nicki chuckled. "Only if you're interested," She replied.

[Stormy]

Jen placed her head on her arms. “Go.” She says indicating for Nicki to tell her the details.
