Delano grunted as the others told him not to worry. They weren't the ones who got attacked...
In his mind, Delano went back to the fight. Mheetu had tried to protect Vitani by distracting him and having her run in the other direction. A very bold, and incredibly foolish move on Mheetu's part, as he was no match for Delano, and Vitani was chased by Tempesta. But truth be told, he would have done the same thing if he were escorting Tempesta to some strange land. Distract hostile lions from hurting her for as long as he can and...
Delano stooped, blinking and confused. For some reason, his thoughts about Tempesta gave him a strange, foreign, feeling, and he desperately wanted to ignore them. He quickly looked at Tempesta, who wasn't looking at him, and looked back at his paws, thinking furiously, trying to distract himself. He saw Alma approach Vitani, and watched her as she introduced herself to the princess. As much as he hated to admit it, what she was doing was a very good idea. His stomach clenched as he thought about what he should do as well.
Delano got up and slowly approached Mheetu, feeling rather nervous. "Hey, Mheetu, listen," Delano said softly, unintentionally avoiding Mheetu's gaze, "I just thought that, well, if I were in your position, I would have done the same thing, and I don't blame you... so I was thinking: what if we started fresh? Ignore how we first met and try to at least not hate each other...." Delano forced himself to look into Mheetu's eyes, hopeful.
