[glow=#000,1,400]MY MAMA SAID THAT I'M NOT LIVING RIGHT. YOU RAISED A LION, MAMA, I AIN'T LYING, MAMA — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]
Wormwood watched with interest as the dragon began to snort and shift as soon as he came into view, and his form was still considerably tensed, until the dragon finally spoke again, another was that unmistakable tone of hopefulness and love in that very soft and curt 'mine'. A smile immediately spread over the lion's muzzle in recognition, and he quickly moved forward into the dragon's space, breathing out as he moved to wrap his arms around Draekon's snout, pressing his nose into the male's scales as a sort of kiss, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Draekon... Draekon, I can't believe you're here, and you're safe! And you look... different. I havent seen you in so long..."[/glow] It had only really been a few days, but so much had happened that it felt like months had passed, and to any outsiders it would look like a pair of lovers that were now reuniting after many many ages of being apart. Worm was sure that he was being dramatic, but he really couldn't help it, in the end. After everything that had been happening that had been breaking him down so brutally recently, having Draekon here was like some kind of sign from the universe that it didn't actually hate him – even if he was sure that his happiness wouldnt last long.
After a long moment of several loving nuzzles, the lion fell back on his haunches and gave Draekon a slightly pained smile, a slow spike of pain going up from his still wounded leg, [glow=#165042,1,400]"I'm so glad you're here... are you here to stay? I'd imagine so... if that's the case, then I'll have to show you around, and we'll have to figure out somewhere that you can stay that you'll actually be able to fit into, probably near me since you like being near me..."[/glow] He immediately looked down in thought, his head full of various ideas for how Draekon could live here, as well as the secondary worry about how Worm was going to explain his relationship to the giant reptile. Of course, it wasn't like it was that extremely hard to come up with an excuse for why Worm knew Draekon. After all, Worm had wandered for a long time around the roguelands looking for where his brother had gone off to, and he could easily claim that Draekon was just a lover that he had met in his long and interesting travels. After all, he hadn't exactly talked to many people around Tanglewood about what he had done in the time between the pride and his now home.
