Growing Up [Private: TheLastLion & Stormy]

[TheLastLion]

Sadie nodded as she listened to Snowfall explain. "Last question and then we're done: Do you know of anyone else who might be following you?"

[Stormy]

Snowfall tilted his head slightly as he thought. "Maybe any siblings if they try to find me, that is, if any of them escaped like me. But again, this was a long time ago. They would have found me by now. And let's be real, if I didn't know about those leopards trying to find me until a few days ago, I won't know about anyone else trying to hunt me down."

[TheLastLion]

Sadie reluctantly nodded her head. "They likely tormented the girls because they had their scent on you." She growled.

[Stormy]

"Well, yeah..." Snowfall replied. "But what am I gonna do, just wipe off my scent?" He joked. "Am I done? Can I go now?"

[TheLastLion]

"Yes, we're done here," She sighed. "But don't make a habit of disappearing without letting us know."

[Stormy]

Snow seemed a little annoyed at this. "Well, why not?" He asked. "I was on my own for years, I can handle myself. I don't need this 'pride' to protect me."

[TheLastLion]

"Do you want to leave?" Sadie asked. "Be honest. I won't be offended either way."

[Stormy]

"I really only came because Nicki wanted me to be here. And I figured having a definite place to sleep instead of finding them every night would be nice." Snow replies. "But I didn't think I'd be strapped down here, feeling like I have parents to tell me what to do here, or having to have 'supervision' when I already know I'd be fine. I don't know."

[TheLastLion]

"Then I think you should consult with Nicki about this." She replied.

[Stormy]

"Why? All I'm asking is that I'm not treated like some sort of prisoner here and that I can go somewhere without being hawked or tracked. That's all I'm asking. I would like to be here, BUT, I would also like my freedom that I used to have outside of this pride."
