[ You already know that armored bears make awesome friends. So, it turns out, do armored lions.
He can't talk like Iorek could, but he's been with you through thick and thin since the day he started following along with you, and thank whatever god or fate or luck you like that he was around, because when those monsters swooped in and stole Hester and left you helpless with pain, your lion went to war for you.
Who knows how he did it, but does it matter? After eternity the pain is fading, and here's your lion, rushing back as fast as his mighty paws can bring him, armor jingling and clanking, Hester carried in his mouth as gently as his own cub. ]
[ While man and hare look surprised, the former lion just sits and makes his laughing sounds, transitioning rapidly from his own shock at his transformation to glee at everything being fixed again -- not just Lee and Hester, but him too!
He grins between the two of them, amber eyes large and sparkling and little different from when they'd sat in a too-intelligent lion face instead, and when Lee asks his question, the former lion licks his lips and gives the attempt his complete focus. He chuffs and whuffs and rolls various vowel-sounds around his mouth, he knows his name because even though it's been forever he never let himself forget it, because his name is important and his name is--]
Nnn. Nuh. Shee. Now. Now-shee. [ And triumphantly: ] Naoshi!
[To Lee, it sounds more like a daemon-name than a person-name, but then, he's from Texas. He's heard some weirder, though he's not actually been to his world's version of Japan before.] Well, it's a right pleasure, mister Now-shee. [Check it out, he gets it wrong :B ] I'd introduce us, but I figure you know our names by now?
I'd sure hope so, [Hester adds, nonchalantly grooming her ears from Naoshi's lap.] After all this time playin' partner to our little duo, here, I'd be surprised t'hear what he doesn't know.
whoops, I thought a notif got eaten somewhere. FOUND ITnaochansenseiAugust 27 2011, 19:56:12 UTC
Un~un! [ It's a nonsense sound, yet clearly one of agreement. He throws one hand up on Lee's shoulder, and his other completely over the smaller Hester's. He's not quite human, not quite daemon; he was made something different, but what was okay when he was lionshaped doesn't feel bad just because he's humanshaped.
He's so eager to say the words that they slur out rather poorly formed compared to his name. ]
[Lee's still a little awkward with all this touching, but Hester, the one being touched, is much easier with it all-- then again, she's the one who's the better judge of such things, anyway. She chuckles, and he agrees,] That's right. C'mon, now, Now-shee. Let's see if we can get us someplace where you can get some clothes, and you can work on tellin' us just what happened. [He claps the once-lion on the shoulder, and then climbs to his feet again and offers Naoshi a hand up.]
[ With Lee's help (and Hester safely cleared from his lap, of course), Naoshi wobbles upright. Woah, two legs! Okay, okay, he did this once, he can do it again, he-- he's going to hang on Lee's elbow, just to be safe.
He holds the man's jacket shut with one hand, for warmth, kicking free of the pelt and disintegrating armor at his feet. He doesn't need that shell anymore and won't miss it. ]
[Being support is just fine with Lee. After all Naoshi's done for him, thus far, he can certainly help him a little! He looks amused, though, at Naoshi's contempt for the lionskin, as they start off towards the last village they'd left, not long ago.] Don't wanna keep it for a souvenir?
