[Private RP for TheMaster017 and I]: Dark Heart of a Rogue

[Adofo]

Adofo: I know I'm not a lion.....and that I'm not your real father.....but I promise, I will always love you just as much as the rest of my cubs! And....I will do my best to be the best father that you've ever had! And.....I love you baby....and I always will!

[Iri]

Neema smiled. "Why should I care that you're not a lion? You're still the best father ever!"

[Adofo]

Adofo smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Adofo: Thanks baby! I'm glad I took you in!

[Iri]

Neema's smile stretched a bit.
Saskia walked out of the den. "What about Mother?" she demanded. "Was she a bad parent?"
"No!" Neema insisted. "I... I was just saying that Adofo is the best father!"
"What about our birth father?" Liwaza growled.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Got a worried look on his face.
Adofo: Look....girls I'm sure she didn't mean that your father wasn't bad or anything! I'm sure he was even great! but.....uhh.....

[Iri]

"But 'uh' what?" Rehani asked, her tail flicking.

[Adofo]

Adofo: What I mean is.........alright, being called the best father probably wasn't the right choice of words and......I know you all must miss your father very much! .......I know I miss mine. My uncle killed him when me and my brother were kids. This jacket.....this is all I have left of him. I wear it everyday just so.......just so I can always feel him holding me in his arms.....protecting me. Even though I wasn't his son....not even the same species.....he loved me all the same. He gave me a second chance at life! .......I'll always be thankful for that......and that I got to call him Dad! To this day........he's my hero.

"Our father watched our mother die without doing anything," Aaquila growled as she stepped back onto Pride Rock. "She was stuck in a trap and he did nothing to help her. He didn't even merely lie beside her and comfort her as she died." Her voice quivered slightly but her expression remained stoic. She dropped two fat rabbits on the rock. "Enjoy," she said stiffly as she walked down to the foot of Pride Rock, carrying a small mouse for herself.

[Adofo]

Adofo followed her outside.
Adofo: Aaquila......do you want to talk about it?

[Iri]

"Why do you ask?" Aaquila said, her eyes glazed with grief.
