Growing Up [Private: TheLastLion & Stormy]

"Oh," Nicki replied. "I suppose that's reason enough. You remind remind me a lot of a family friend." She added.

[Stormy]

"Hm." Jen replied. "Do they spend most of their time in the trees like me?" She joked. Before Nicki could answer, Jen continued. “Listen kid, it’s late. Come on, I’ll walk you home.” She says before grabbing Nicki and taking her to the bottom of the tree. She releases Nicki when they get on the ground.

"I think I'd like that." Nicki responded as she hopped on Jen's back. "Thank you."

[Stormy]

Jen followed Nicki’s directions to make it back. She stops at a distance from the pride area. “This is your stop. Best of luck with whatever you’re dealing with in there.” She says patting Nicki’s head for a moment.

"I hope this isn't the last time we see each other." Nicki said as she hopped off of Jen's back.

[Stormy]

"You know where to find me." Jen replied. "Well, at night at least. Where we were is normally where I stay the night." She says. "Feel free to stop by anytime. It's nice to have a little bit of company sometimes."

[TheLastLion]

"I will." Nicki said as she began to make her way back to the dwelling cave.

[Stormy]

Jen took off - quickly becoming invisible in the night. Kaylee spots Nicki walking in, as she was waiting for her before going to sleep. “Just in time.” She says, “I think mom and dad were about to become suspicious.”

[TheLastLion]

"Moreso that usual?" Nicki asked.

[Stormy]

"Eh." Kaylee shrugged. "Snow wanted me to give you this." She says pulling out a flower. "He would have given it to you personally but he had somewhere to go and you were gone for a bit."
