Orpheus had to scramble for everything he could do — his dad taught him to read and fight, but that didn't make it easy. You try learning how to do anything when your mentor was a tiger that could crush you with a paw, huh? Instead of raw strength, he'd learned how to use his small size and speed. Still hit hard, but get out of the way as quickly as possible afterwards. They'd started slow with that, and mostly at his own insistence. Looking back, he can see why it bothered Brigand. Wanting to fight, needing to defend himself — it was a loss of innocence. But reading had been a way to counter that for both of them. He found less reason to fight and his dad got to see him get lost in a world separated from their own.
A world where the good guys won. Real life had ruined that dream when Brigand died. Maybe this is a way to get some of it back. Orpheus seems to be ignoring the world in favor of a different one right up until the moment that Link's face breaks his line of view. The lion jerks a little in surprise, lifting his head away from the dog until he registers who he is and what he's doing. The tension that had been building his shoulders bleeds away again with a little laugh. He tilts his head at Link and waits for what the young canine has to say — or... gesture? imply? Although the chirp doesn't reveal much, it's enough. "It's Treasure Planet. Have you heard of it before?"
