"Yes, your majesty. He did." She bows her head in shame and sadness.

"I just wish he told me why he left."

[Stormy]

"I'm sure it wasn't anything personal."

[TheLastLion]

"I'd certainly hope not. I'd hate to think I pushed him away or made him feel unwelcome and unloved here."

[Stormy]

"I'm going to take Sadie for a bit."

[TheLastLion]

"Yes, your majesty."

Conal takes a deep breath as he begins. "I know I haven't exactly been the nicest to Flash and all, but if it's anything, I hope he's okay too." Conal says putting a paw on Kayla trying to comfort her.
