NOTHING SWEET 'BOUT MY MISERY -

It was his child, undeniably. When the boy walked over he recognized the face because it was a rendering of his own. Even the body. Kydobi would just stare, dumbfounded and unsure what to say. He could only look and admire what he and Indie has made together.
The subtle markings reminded the dark brute of his own despite the polar colors. Even the dark tawny was akin to the brutes, Kydobi’s gaze softened. To some the mixture was odd but to him it was everything good.
A huge smile, very rare for the brute, spread across his maw as he eagerly stood up. Unsure whether to step forward and nuzzle the child or wait. He looked at SUvi with happy anticipation, like a dog holding a leash before a walk before quickly looking away. Momentarily forgetting what his people had caused her. But the happiness would quickly be shot down when he heard the sharp question. Kydobi’s wars flickered back as he pulled his head back, a look of confusion on the brutes usually stoic face.
“I-I came to see you. To meet you...”, he said as his throat tightened. He did not expect such a hostile greeting.. at least from his son.
Luckily he would get distracted by others arriving. A crowd was the last thing he wanted. A hyena would show up, vulgar as she looked.
“You and I both know you would be hard pressed to go to neutral grounds.”, he made this trip and he would not leave until he got what he wanted, “I came here to simply meet my children.”
He cranes his neck forward, tilting it down as he looked at her, “A handler? What do you think I am dog? Should this Leroy come, then I’ll be happy to speak to him.” pride of course. He refused to allow anyone to disrespect him anymore.
Of course, the lion would show up. Speaking all big and what not. When Kydobi’s eyes first laid on him he just stared. His mind traveling far away to the battle field once more. The feeling of death and pain. He heard nothing and no one, just cries.
“... I will not hesitate to have you attacked on sight..” he was reeled back in. Kydobi shook his head.
“So you’re telling me that the Pitt, which is ruled by Goldie, who is your ally, is... an enemy? So Goldie is therefore an enemy.”, Kydobi flicked his tail, “I’m afraid your double standards and glorious wings and grand words make for a pitiful show Aurum. You’re certainly feeling mighty.”
He stood up, straightening himself to stare into the brutes eyes, “I came to see my children and only them. I did not come to start any problems nor did I come to quarrel. I would’ve figured things out with Indie sooner, she had written me a letter. But I didn’t get it till yesterday because I was dead.”
He took a step forward, heart pounding.
“And I have a feeling you knew of my children before I did. That all of you knew and yet.... you still killed me.”, Kydobi took another step forward, “in an unfair fight where I was half dead. I recall it all Aurum. You’re a coward through and through. Allow them all to attack me while I’m back to health again? Because you’re scared to fight me on even ground? Let’s not forget you’re the one that fled the battlegrounds briefly. We can duke it out in a fair and just round two if you wish.”
He paused to breathe, feeling himself get angry. This was the man that took a lot from him. This was the man that caused Aine pain. This was the man that created animosity between his children because of his death. This was the man who was too cocky for killing someone who could barely fight.
“you’ll find it’s a lot harder to kill me when my back isn’t turned and I’m bleeding out. But that can be for another time, we can also discuss this if you wish but after. For now I wish to speak or answer and questions Piers may have for me...”, he looked in the direction they all came. Hopefully he would see his daughter? The brute was praying Indiana showed, to vouch he wasn’t as bad as Aurum tried to make him.
His gaze would soften as he turned to Piers. With sincerity in his voice he would say, “Just know that if I had been alive, I would’ve been there for your birth. I would have been in your life a lot sooner and often. I have no intentions of abandoning you, you’re my child. I have a responsibility to you and your mother and sister and I won’t let you guys down.” there was so much he wanted to say, so much but he would settle with, ”I do not wish to be a stranger to you ever. But whether you let me or not, I do and always will love you.”
He wouldn’t let Aurum steal the spotlight. This journey, this risk was not made for the lion.
