[ someone's up and awake again. Not so tired sounding, though. This time, she's remembered to go and eat before she reaches out to the rest of the hive. ]

( Is anyone in the Bearings that can give me an update on what I've... missed? As much detail as possible.

If it were safer, I might suggest we start keeping more accessible records for these... interludes. )

[ She's not fond of this not knowing everything all the time ever. Which on the note of: she sighs, little echoing tumbling thought that is edged with frustration. ]

( And... does anyone what kind of tricks lions should do? Are they meant to be predators? Are they meant to be tamed?

Not so long when you're with people who help each other.

[ Her eyes close, her head settling against his shoulder, small against him and content there. Silent with a deep breath of contentment, just stretching against him, her cheek brushing against him. Listening to the thud inside of his chest, the roll off his mind of thoughts that hum just there under his skin. ]

Hey, has anyone ever told you that you worry a lot?
