" yes " Azura said and Asher backed away from the lion beastman and flew back to his position near azura. The lion beastman too came where everyone else was standing.
The leopard queen and her males were smiling in agreement.
" so ? " Azura looked at all her males.
" he's strong and fun to mess with " Asher said smiling.
" we saw that " Winston rolled his eyes before turning to azura. " as much as I hate to agree with Asher, he is right " Winston said .
" He managed to scratch Asher and we love him for being able to do that " Noah said and Asher shot him a glare .
" you traitor " Asher mumbled under his breath .
" Curtis? Our fine man ! What do you think about him ? " Noah asked Curtis who was standing beside azura holding her hand. He looked at azura, seemed like she too was waiting for him to answer. He sighed before he said .
" of course I'm fine with him , azura said yes after all " Finally Curtis did speak a sentence today .
" so what's your name ? " Azura smiled as she asked the lion beastman who was Watching them talk amongst themselves.
" leon "
As the sun rises over the horizon, a soft golden light spreads across the land. The sky is painted with shades of pink, orange, and purple, creating a stunning backdrop for the world below.
The air is cool and crisp, carrying the scent of dewy grass and blooming flowers. The gentle breeze rustles through the trees, causing the leaves to dance and the birds to sing their morning melodies.
" come on , why can't both of you give it a rest aldredy " Noah said annoyed. It was too early in the morning for all all this bs to happen .
Leon and Asher had been arguing since the moment they came from azura's parent's house.
What was the reason ?
About who was stronger .
Leon was saying that it was him as lions were superior race of big cats while Asher retorted saying that race never mattered .
" wanna settle this outside , let's go ! " Asher said ready to throw fists .
" why ? Are you feeling lonely ? Go by yourself ! " Leon said smirking .
" how about both of you shut up now ? Azura is sleeping , you guys don't want to get thrown out of this house , do you ? " Curtis said as he threw a deadly glare at the men who couldn't keep their mouths shut .
Asher immediately shuts up and winston and Noah sigh in relief, finally , the two stopped bickering .
" so . You're a penta marked beast too " Asher asked Leon who hummed and sighed .
" still don't believe? You know what let's go outside! " Leon said and Asher smiled , he was always ready to fight .
" how about you both shut up before I glue your asses to the ground ! " Curtis said and the two sit down immediately. Curtis could be an excellent babysitter for real .
" whatever " Leon said as he looked away . The feral sure looks intimidating.
" so ! Let's have a nice chat ! " Noah said cheering .
" right, how old are you Leon " Asher asked curiously.
" hundred " Leon replied as if it meant nothing and Asher's jaw dropped , same could be said for the others .
" I'm fifty " Asher said and Leon's eyes widened , this bird was younger than him .
" I'm fourty five " Curtis said .
" I'm thirty " Winston said .
" I'm twenty eight " Said Noah.
Now that they were discussing about ages for the first time , it did feel akward and weird .
" so it makes Leon the oldest ? " Noah said in disbelief and Leon just shrugged at that . Can't contradict facts now , can they?
" umm so , now that we look at our family ," Winston paused as he looked at the other males .
" we have two penta marked beasts , two tetramarked beast and Noah can join anytime if only he stops eating berries with azura and puts some effort in his training. We are strong enough to protect her " Winston said smiling to himself , Noah just looked at him in disbelief.
" sorry Winston, can't give up on berries " Noah shook his head .
" but you're right! We are strong enough ! " Curtis too nodded .
" we even have a healer " Asher added . And Noah proudly smiled .
" who's a healer here ? " Leon asked .
" it's Noah " Winston replied while Noah nodded .
" so leon, do you like swimming? " Ahser asked .
Was this question his trademark now or what ? Winston shook his head as he gave Asher an side eye .
Noah seemed eager to know the answer and Curtis was uninterested as ever but still had his ears open .
" no , I loathe it " Leon said and Asher's eyes sparkled at those words.
" finally ! " Noah exclaimed as he rejoiced and Asher nodded.
Leon just looked at the two being dramatic and he looks at Curtis and winston for answer.
" what are they doing ? " Leon asks .
" just being themselves and living their long lost childhood. " Curtis shrugged.
" just picking sides , you , him and Noah hate swimming and me , Curtis and azura like swimming . He's making a big deal out of our preferences " Winston said and Leon nodded .
" what are you all doing ? " Azura said in her sleepy voice as she walked into the joint lving room area , she was busy yawning .
" oh my , did we end up waking you up ? " Noah said as he got up and went to azura who nodded .
And Curtis glares at the others who just avoid his gaze .
" doesn't matter . " Azura said as she hugged Noah.
" what are you guys talking about ? " She softly asks .
" Nothing, Asher's being a kid again and turns out Leon loathes swimming " Winston said and curtis agreed.
Azura looked at Leon and smiled at him , " it seems like you've gotten comfortable with them "
Leon looked at her for sometime before he smiled back. " maybe "
