"..All my life..I think."

There it was. His voice wavered a bit, but now revealed how it really sounded. It was warm, somewhat rich with volume...Calming. But when he said that he thought he had, his voice broke.

As he turned his head away, slightly, Artemis might have been able to see a jagged scar hidden under his fur, only revealed when he turned a certain way, positioned behind his ear. The only reminder, to the lion himself, that he had forgotten his childhood.

"...I don't..speak much to others..I..apologize."

Cyren looked at her smiling form and nodded slightly, answering her question.

"First..Besides..Dens..there is a watering hole.." He imagined she was parched after making whatever sort of Journey she had made.

Off the Guard went, down the rock, his paws making no noise as they brushed the stone. Then, stone gave way to grass as he went far enough, hoping she was following. He would hate for her to get lost..and it wasn't that far. Actually, it was rather close.

Cyren nodded softly, his eyes tracking where hers had moved. Internally, he smiled.

'Even now, she's worried about their safety here. She's a good mother.'

As the lion shook his hair out of his eyes, he turned, looking over his shoulder at Artemis, nodding his head towards the route she had climbed Pride Rock from, hopefully. "Follow..me..Unless you want to..check on..your cubs."

"..Guard."

The Male rasped out, before Cyren looked towards the fresh kill pile, nodding his head once to signify something to Artemis.

Hunter, unoffically.

It seemed as if forcing himself to speak was a bit hard, but the guard licked his lips before speaking again.

"..I can..show you around..if you haven't been shown around." Cyren still seemed out of it, as his look hadn't changed from before. He vaguely wondered if talking would be regular. If so...he better get used to it quickly. He didn't want to scare any cubs.

Cyren nodded slightly to his King, before his gaze turned to Artemis.

The shy, workaholic Lion dipped his head respectfully to the female lioness. He noticed that her mate was not here, and his heart went out to her. Even if he was not a parent, he could see how hard being a single parent could be.

Thoughts about how hard it would be, he knew, would never actually give him the feelings Artemis would have felt.

Feeling as if he should give her some form of reply, Cyren's emerald eyes looked up at her as he opened his mouth slightly.

"..Like..wise.." The Lion scraped out, his voice rough and scratchy with disuse. Then he shut his mouth quickly, raising his head out of the respectful dip.

Agreed. Night, Letme.

Alright.

Another day in the Pridelands. Another sunrise, flowing over the land, that Cyren had met earnestly with eager tooth and claw, ready to do his duty. However, with their small numbers, their fresh kill pile was still full, and so he had nothing to do but patrol.

Perhaps one of the most boring duties of a lion was to patrol. Even if it wasn't as fun as hunting, it had perks hunting did not. Not that he could always name them...

Anyways. With Patrols, every detail had to be precise about the territory, and any oddities investigated. If something didn't add up, it was his job to report it.

What is Cyren's job, you ask? He is not a hunter, in fact...The blonde haired lion is a Guard, his loyalty to his pride unshakeable in his mind, and hopefully in the mind of Shupavu.

Now, later, Cyren was on his way back to his home. Patrol had turned out uneventful, just as it mostly always had.

The lion shook his head to clear his mind as he padded towards Pride rock, his brisk strides silent against the ground.

'Keep your mind clear. It will help you when you describe what you have seen...even if it is barely anything.' The male thought to himself, eyes straight ahead.

As he neared, drawing close to Pride Rock, Cyren could vaguely see another lion, and Shupavu's lips moving as he spoke.

Then, as Cyren drew closer, he realized it was a lioness. The Guard's eyebrows slowly raised. Who was she? Cyren took a moment to shake his hair out of his eyes, before moving towards their position, head cocked to the side. The Lioness would most likely easily be able to detect him, even with how silent he was...if she had ever hunted.

It was clear what the silent lion was attempting to ask his leader...

'Who is this?'

Alright!
