Hope is but a waking dream

Aristotle sat listening intently to Elspet speak. He liked talking to her, she was very knowledgeable and she was very kind. I see, so most of them aren’t around anymore then? That would be a good thing. Having those who killed needlessly was not good for the ecosystem or for anyone really. Needless bloodshed was just wrong. At least to him it was.

Aristotle grinned brightly as he watched the gorilla work. You might be better with leaves and such, but you did really good making it out of rabbit skins! The young lion beamed in amazement. He didn’t know how she did it, but she had made an amazing bag for him to use when collecting things. It would make life so much easier for him to carry things around on his expeditions now. You truly are a brilliant gembound aunty.Oh My best friend James can do that! He calls it telekinesis. The young lion mused rather happy that he could know someone so interesting.

A brilliant smile spread over Aristotle’s muzzle. He loved his new bag, she had done such a wonderful job on it. Elspet’s reaction only furthered his agreement on how it looked. He nodded when she explained how to replace the strap for when he got bigger, which he inevitably would. I think I can handle that. The young lion responded with a bright smile spread over his muzzle. He couldn’t be happier. So can you come to Orion with me to my home? I found something I want to show you and maybe if he’s home have you meet James! The young lion inquired hoping to show Abraxas to Elspet and introduce her to James.

@Elspet

"Not together, anyways," she shrugged. Rumors amounted to the gist of it all and little more.

Another slew of compliments came Elspet's way, and she grinned awkwardly underneath them - Caves, Aristotle just didn't run out of those, huh? She frowned slightly at the reminder that these were, in fact, rabbit skins, and she'd put them to a different shape. "I try," came her only response. She reveled in the minor distraction that was telekinesis: "I reckon you could ask 'im to teach you how to do that, hm?"

"I'd be happy to come along, kiddo - just give me a moment to stow away my things, hm?" If the cub allowed it, she clambered onto a rather sturdy tree nearby, shrugging off her own leaf satchel and tying it around a high branch. The ape dropped back down, and gestured for Aristotle to lead the way.

exit?
@Aristotle

Aristotle nodded as Elspet spoke. Well at least they aren’t causing trouble anymore. The young lion mused aloud as he gave a soft wave of his slender tufted tail. As long as they weren’t around needlessly killing then that was all the better for their home wasn’t it? He would make sure to never become like them. He would only take what he needed and never more. Though it was becoming harder to satiate his hunger on rabbits, a deer was always going to be more than enough for just him.

The young lion liked watching Elspet smile, and she seemed to take his compliments in stride. In fact she seemed to like taking them as much as he enjoyed giving them. Besides credit was due where it had been earned was it not? The young lion smiled in turn, his slender tufted tail giving a gentle wave. Stepping forward the young lion let out a joyous purr and pressed his head affectionately against the Apes chest. He nuzzled her gently, the closest thing to a mother he would ever know would be this gorilla. She would always hold a special spot in the young lion’s heart no matter what happened.

WHen it came to talking about being taught how to use new skills Aristotle wasn’t sure he could learn. But he would at least ask. I suppose it couldn’t hurt to try. The Young lion responded cheerfully. Of course it couldn’t hurt to ask and at least see if he might be capable of the skill, after all it would make things a whole hell of a lot easier for his work.

Aristotle watched Elspet effortlessly climbed into the tree, stowing away her belongings in the highest part of a tree she could. When she landed back on the ground Aristotle eagerly led the way back from Eridanus to his home in Orion.
