Can't make me see sense / Joining / But I see stars in your eyes

[Romulus]

As she spoke, Romulus' brow furrowed and his gaze narrowed. He truly wanted to spare his sympathy for her, but he couldn't help it with the recent death of both of his parents. Perhaps if she had lived they would have too. Grinding his teeth together, the lion merely nodded. Flicking his tail, he spoke up. "Well, that appears to be better than fleeing," he responded dully. "I hope death treated you..." His eyes looked her up and down curiously as he found his words, only to raise his eyes back up to meet her gaze. "Nicely." Whether or not the statement was true would remain a mystery.

A chuckle sounded behind him, followed promptly by Sojourn's words. He merely turned his head towards her, offering a nod to acknowledge her presence. As she spoke, he couldn't help but feel disdain bubble up in his chest and fester within his thoughts. His tail flicked dismissively, momentarily growling underneath his breath. His voice fell to a whisper. "Yes..." Romulus' neck craned towards Stheno. "Everyone is dead."
