HERE COMES THE WATER

IT COMES TO W A S H AWAY THE SINS OF YOU AND I. WHEN YOU LOOK, YOU SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME. CUT THE ROPE, FELL TO MY KNEES. BORN AND BROKEN EVERY SINGLE TIME.

A melody was carried in the air, traveling down the hall and into the room where Gabriel and Titan sat. It was a tune unfamiliar to Titan ( obviously, seeing as he only listened to so much music in his lifetime ). His eyes fixed onto the tumbling rock as it slid across the floor, like it was prey scurrying along the fields. His irises were narrowed into slits and he was as still as a statue, as if his primal instincts had kicked into gear. Although it was just a rock, Titan was incredibly alert at all times. He knew better than to let his guard down.

Looking up, he recognized that the one singing was a fellow lion. He was within his age range, it seemed -- impressive for a leader. The elders of his pride were at least several years of age. However, his extremely casual manner? Not so impressive. Perhaps his leading style differed from those back at home. As a matter of fact, just about everything here was different. Titan looked down at Moonmade, enduring the silence, and he was questioned before he could even open his maw. "Where'd you come from?" Why would the leader ask such a thing of him? Was he suspicious of him? Why would he be?

Titan found that paranoia was treading on the back of his mind, but he suppressed it and just regarded the question as casual conversation. Perhaps Moonmade was just genuinely curious about him, which was not a bad thing. Titan had just never interacted with anyone outside of his pride before, really. He blinked, and replied in a somewhat monotonous fashion, "Somewhere far away from here." Titan didn't want to dive into the details, because that would just lead to more questions. He didn't necessarily want to talk about home. "... It's not important." He dismissed it, and quickly moved on, "Is there anything that you want me to do?" Titan didn't want to seem light dead weight, after all. He'd get thrown out of the Ascendants if he sat on his ass all day, and he didn't want that.
