Growing Up [Private: TheLastLion & Stormy]

[Stormy]

"Ah." Jay replies. "And... if he REALLY doesn't want to be a king?" Jay says slowly. "What then?"

[TheLastLion]

"Then I'll l help him grow into the role, just as he'll hopefully help me."

[Stormy]

"Uh-huh..." Jay replies slowly. "Okay then. And I think there's something else you should prepare for. He's used to the outlands again. So I would expect some things to appear off for at least the first few days. Till he gets used to us again. Not you, since you've been with him. But the rest of us. Patience."

[TheLastLion]

"I think he'd like the same. I'm not sure how he'll react to being back here again." Sadie sighed. "I just hope we don't completely botch this."

[Stormy]

"Well what I mean by that is things are run differently around here, and he's used to doing stuff their way again. So I'm just saying expect him to screw up from time to time."

[TheLastLion]

"I don't think there's any question about us screwing up at some point." Sadie looked away in slight embarrassment.

[Stormy]

Jay raised his eyebrow slightly. "Are you saying that because you plan to screw up or you've already screwed up and haven't said anything?"

[TheLastLion]

"Well, nobody ever really plans to screw up... it just sort of happens, despite all your best paid plans."

[Stormy]

"I see..." Jay replied slowly looking at Sadie with a slight eye squint.

[TheLastLion]

"Kind of like how none of us ever plan to end up in situations where we almost fall off of cliffs or mountains, but it just keeps happening."
