☼ Third Circle - Action ☼

[redheadlion]

[Hey, the lion's out again! He's in the market, and seems to be looking for more bedding. He's gotten a good helping of blankets, that he's carrying on his back as he goes, but eventually he starts pulling out clothes. He sets a sweater on the ground to look at it, and laughs a little.]

That's strange, why's it shaped like that?

[Maybe Simba

[Action]

[odastillhatesme]

It's for humans.

[Just breezing on past, doing his own shopping for his still too-bare room. He's met a talking mouse, a talking wolf, and his doctor is a reindeer. Sanji's more surprised he's never seen Simba until now]

The longer parts are what we put our arms through. [A glance at him] Probably won't do you much good.

[odastillhatesme]

[Oh hell, why not?]

It was nice meeting ya.

[redheadlion]

[Lucky for you, his claws are retracted and he can't grip your hand very hard! How badass do you feel giving a lion a hand-shake, Sanji?]

Yeah, you too. Take it easy, man. Hakuna Matata.

[odastillhatesme]

[He feels like he's living in Luceti. Which is to say, this is par for the course... sorta.

Also--]

Hakunama-what?

[It had to be asked]

[redheadlion]

Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries".

[odastillhatesme]

Ha. That why you're so cheerful?

[redheadlion]

Yep. Why worry about things you don't have control over? Better to spend your energy on what you can deal with.

[odastillhatesme]

Not bad advice from a lion.

[redheadlion]

Learned it from a meerkat and a warthog, actually.

[odastillhatesme]

...

[Oh. Right. of course.]

Don't uh... lions eat things like them?

[redheadlion]

Normally, yeah.

[Shrug]

They kind of adopted me, after I was run out of the kingdom by my uncle.

[odastillhatesme]

-- Why the hell would your uncle run you out of your own home? [Nevermind the adoption bit. Man, being a lion is more exciting than he assumed]

[redheadlion]

[odastillhatesme]

... So you're royalty, is what you're saying.

[redheadlion]

Well, it doesn't mean anything here, but yeah. I'm the king of the Pridelands.

[odastillhatesme]

... Never met a lion king before. [Ba-dum dish]

The universe really is vast.
