Kid? Rarely was he ever called such a name. Child, maybe, when he was a few months younger than he was now. As far as lions went, he still wasn't considered a mature adult ( although he begged to differ, considering months of bone-rattling training that hardened him both physically and mentally ). Even compared to those within this group, he was among the older-aged crowd.

However, seeing as the creature before him appeared elder to him, perhaps he was just a child to him ( which irked him ). Hopefully he wouldn't come off as a "young shit", because Titan certainly wasn't. He was disciplined, and quite honestly, years beyond his mental age. It was quite strange and quite sad, seeing a young lion like him so grown up already.

His amber visionaries met Gabriel's, studying his visage as well as the rest of his hybridized bodily features. Titan had seen him a few times ever since he had arrived, and he had come to the conclusion that he was perhaps a griffin of some sort ( except the eagle was an owl and the lion's torso was that of a domestic feline's ). Griffins and Pegasus and serpents were regarded as creatures of myth from where he came from, and seeing such creatures with his naked eye was quite interesting for him. Not that anything really surprised him anymore. Titan had witnessed and experienced a lot of things in his relatively short lifetime.

Gabe? His name was Gabe? Huh . . . You would've thought that such a creature like him would have more of an elegant title. Then again, nobody exactly had a "plain" name back in his pride. He was used to strong and meaningful names like Pandora or Ophelia or Perseus.

In response to the older male's question, the lion spoke, "Y. . Yes. I am." He briefly cleared his throat, having not spoken to anybody for a little while. "I'm Titan."
