You always have been...you just have to remember it and let it shine."
"There is no thanks needed. I am glad to give them to you. And I am glad I AM back... this term has been rather interesting... or so I have been told," she said as her voice faltered a bit. Imperiused, possessed... she was clearly vulnerable to things of the like and she didn't like it. SIGH.
Oh. Smiles back on for her cublet. Seeing her little wibble Lexi instantly pulled her into the best hug she could... trying to put all of her love into that one hug. To show her that she cared very deeply for her.
Kurumi wasn't sure she would call herself fierce just yet. She had at least somewhat broken out of her timid shell though. Still, the smile and pride on Lexi's face made it impossible for her to say anything against the words. "
Thank you," she said again - despite Lexi telling her she didn't have to. Kurumi then pulled the necklace out of the bag and looked sheepishly at Lexi. "
W-Would you mind helping me put it on?"
Kurumi half sighed and half giggled at Lexi's next comment. "
Interesting isn't exactly the word I would have used," she replied with as neutral a tone as she could muster. The term had certainly put Kurumi off boys - which probably pleased the older lioness. First Connor smothering her the first half of the term, then her confessing to Treyen that she liked him only to learn that she had been misunderstanding his intentions all along...it was clear to her that she just wasn't ready to be THAT fierce yet.
