Orchid

Orchid is following Grandpaw Titanspawn's every move today - hopping in his footsteps, perking up at the same noises, even swishing and flicking their tail like his. Grandpaw Titanspawn is keenly aware that his grandcub is there, but says nothing about it.

When Grandpaw Titanspawn spots Orchid sulking after they were left out of games, he saunters over and sits down next to them. No words pass between Grandpaw and grandcub, but they seem to have a moment of understanding with each other.

Poor old Grandpaw Titanspawn was resting away from the cubs for a reason today, but that didn't stop Orchid from bounding over and bumping their Grandpaw's chin with the top of their head in adoration before scarpering off. Grandpaw Titanspawn stares after them as they scamper away, but whatever he wanted to say isn't spoken.

Grandpaw Titanspawn coves over and lays down next to Orchid, flicking their tail over to draw the attention of the wild cub. Grandpaw Titanspawn continues, giving the rest of the pride some time off from entertaining Orchid.

Orchid greeted you happily as you approached. Then, she idly said she had this neat story from yesterday, but maybe you don't care enough to hear about it. Because you didn't want to listen to her yesterday. Because you were busy with other pride mates. No, it's okay, she understands. She's not as important as them. She's sitting very close now. Uh.
