Melliza perked up at the mention of his home. She'd been exploring around the area for a while - it was impossible not to notice the big, pointy rock - but she had been too concerned with keeping her siblings safe and remaining hidden to really have seen or met any of the inhabitants yet. Still, the fact that these lions had adopted a stranger, even with being king... they had to have been the more benevolent type. She'd never heard of any of her kind doing that, or even living in groups of more than two or three. The idea of an entire community was almost overwhelming.
But, that didn't mean she wouldn't try it out.
"Well," she replied, a bit more bashfully than she would've liked. "I don't know, I've never lived in a place like this before. My dad, I didn't know him - most of us tigers don't meet our dads - but then mom..."
Her throat tightened up a little bit as she bit back a rogue thought. Gemini looked pretty tense behind her. She knew that he probably wouldn't be able to handle it if she discussed it any further.
"... Mom... she... well, I'd rather not talk about it. I don't mean to be rude, but... we don't really need to be reminded about it, if you understand."
Gemini hung his head and said nothing, though Melliza could tell that he was thinking of the same things she was...
