The new danger in the land

Gakuru rubbed the back of his head with a paw. "Can we talk?"

[Adofo]

Tua: Uhh....sure. Marini...I'll be right back!
He gave her a kiss and walked out of the den with his brother.
Tua: What is it, Gakuru?

[TheWhistlerify]

"Well..." Gakuru sighed and sat down. "I've been a... bit of an ass to you, to put it gently... Can we start over?"

[Adofo]

Tua: .....I'd like that.....very much!

[TheWhistlerify]

Gakuru smiled a small smile. "Great!"

[Adofo]

Tua: And.....Gakuru.....I'm sorry about you.....being alone. .....If I had remembered you before, I would have looked for you a long time ago! It breaks my heart that I was the lucky one that was dropped into a pride, while you only had yourself for so long! ...I feel like I let you down...

[TheWhistlerify]

Gakuru shook his head. "It's not your fault..." He sighed. "You can't blame yourself for not remembering me sooner... I can't remember you at all..."

[Adofo]

Tua: I know.....it's just.....since the second I was born and I became your big brother.....it was my responsibilty to watch over and take care of you! I wish it was me who was just left to die in the middle of nowhere. And then.....you could have had a much happier life. If I could.....I'd go back in time and take your place without a second thought! .....Some brother I've been.....I didn't even remember you existing until a few days ago.....me having a pretty good life.....and you have had to care for yourself.....no pride.....no home.....ugh.....it should have been me to be left alone!!!

[TheWhistlerify]

"No, it shouldn't have..." said Gakuru, his ears dropping against his head. "You're a far better lion than I could ever want to be... I'm a monster..."

[Adofo]

Tua: You're not a monster! .....You're my brother! The things you did in the past.....you have to let it go. what matters is your future. It's never too late to change.
