Gatito was dreading this moment.
No one could have predicted the course of events that led to this dramatic moment in his life. He was going to take a girl to meet his parents, and he had only just met said girl! His siblings would tease and torment him if they found out. So, Gatito had come up with a plan, and he thought it was a very good plan. All he had to do was lie and say his parents were out on a viking. It was very common for them to do. Both his mother and his father were very competent reavers and had brought back an assortment of wealth for their growing children. If he just went with that story, she would have no reason to doubt him and he could avoid the embarrassing situation.
He was, at all costs, not going to take her to see his parents.
Gatito rounded a corner, looking for K'i-lin's family dens She had been vague with her instructions, but he had figured it would be easy to figure out. Spotting K'i-lin sitting outside one of the dens made it very easy, and he turned to approach her when he noticed the lion beside her.
'By the Storm Lords, no way!' Gatito thought in a mild panic when he realized that the lion standing besides K'i-lin was likely her father. What kind of trap was this!? The young, dark male cleared his throat, and ever so casually pretended he had not seen her at all. Nope, he was just going to keep on moving... He didn't see her at all! How could he be blamed for missing her when she didn't give him clear directions?
Ha ha, right?

K'i-lin turned her gaze to her father, a frown evident on her maw. "Oh...I am sure he will be here soon." There was a hint of disappointment behind her tone as she turned back towards the path she was sure the male would be taking.
Only a few moments passed when her bright eyes spotted the dark form. "Oh look, there he is!" She said with a grin.
"Gatitooo~" She called out to the male, not minding how early it was, and if others nearby were still asleep. She frowned when he kept moving, as if he hadn't seen her. "Hang on dad, I'll go get him." No way he was going to get out of this! K'i-lin rose to her feet, trotting in the direction of the adolescent male. "Where do you think you are going silly. My den is this way." She giggled. "I told my dad allll about you. He wanted to meet you this morning." The female grinned. "Come on! Come meet the best reaver in the pride!" She nudged the male's shoulder.
"He is also pretty fast. So if you run if will probably catch you." She also said nonchalantly. If, of course, Gatito chose that option, he'd better be forewarned, right? |

He felt a chill crawl up his spine when K'i-lin called out his name. 'Damn', he thought. There would be no escape now, not without coming off as rude. He imagined if he just ditched K'i-lin in front of who was probably her father, there would be more pain than just muddling through the encounter. With a sigh, he turned his face back in her direction and offered her the most hesitant smile.
This was going to be the worst experience of his life. Why had he even agreed to this? Sure, she was pretty, but she was also very demanding and very... forward. He didn't quite know how to handle K'i-lin, and felt like he was constantly walking over sharp rocks with the female. "Well, you were pretty vague about where you den was to begin with..." Gatito protested, though he doubted that mattered. The female nudged his shoulder and he almost jumped out of his skin.
A girl kept touching him! Mom, dad? He did not know what to do!
"Why... why would you do that!?" he asked, horrified. "We only just met, you don't know anything about me to tell your father!" Oh, Storm Lords, what had he done to receive such punishment. Grumbling, he followed K'i-lin back towards her family's den with his head hanging low. He would going to be murdered, he just knew it.
"...Hello, sir."
Thank the Storm Lords at least that his family was not around to witness this.

"Why wouldn't I tell him about you?" K'i asked slyly. "You know, he didn't want to met you until after I told him you help bathe me." She grinned. She now knew how Bast'ion took her words, and was all in for making the dark adolescent squirm. He was such a jumpy little lion, wasn't he.
"Daddddyyy~" She called out to Bast'ion as they neared him. She coughed when Gatito said hello. "It's Bast'ion, Gatito. Hello Bast'ion, sir." She smirked, eyes lighting up as she walked from Gatito's side to her father's, nudging his shoulder.
"This is Gatito! You remember the boy I was telling you about. He says you aren't the best reaver in the pride. I said he was wrong. Weren't you, Gatito." She smiled, tail flicking behind her in amusement. "He was more talkative in the waterhole." She said thoughtfully, purple eyes watching the bony male. |

"...Because you just met me, wait. You did what?" Oh, oh no. Gatito really would be murdered here if K'i-lin told her father something as ridiculous as that. It was something terribly easy to misinterpret, and even Gatito had been embarrassed by the experience. He should have just told the female no and carried on his way! None of this would have happened if he just kept to his own business.
Why the pale female seemed intent on divulging every aspect of their conversation was beyond Gatito's comprehension. It was as if she spared no detail in the recounting of their first meeting. He hadn't thought it to be so eventful, but the way she spoke now made it seem like every action and word was of importance. He felt himself dying an emotional death. It was okay, his body would carry on without his mind being in one piece.
His mother would smack him if he ever called her something so stupidly informal. "Okay... Bast'ion, then." Ugh, he did not want to defend himself to K'i-lin's father, and he definitely could not tell if they were teasing him or not. The dark adolescent sat down, a permanent frown fixed upon his maw displaying his unhappiness. "I do not mean to be rude, but you are not the best reaver in the pride. It does not matter how many thralls you have or how many females you bed." That probably wasn't a socially acceptable answer, but if Gatito was anything it was loyal to his own family.
He shrugged his shoulders, "My father is the best reaver in the pride, my mother only second to him. He is the son of a god, and has claimed many trophies and brought great wealth to the pride and our family."

The emotional distress K’i-lin had been putting Gatito through seemed to go unnoticed by her.
The young lioness watched the exchange between the two males with interest. Her ears couldn’t help but pin slightly back, hearing about his father bedding other females. She knew it was true. Bast’ion had multiple litters that lived in the den, all with different parents, but hearing those words from a parent was still nonetheless awkward.
She turned her attention to Gatito, who started to speak of his own lineage. He hadn’t said much during their initial meeting, but when he described his father as a son of a God, her ears perked forward. She glanced at Bast’ion for his rebuttal, but quickly spoke.
“What God?” She tilted her head, curious to know. “If you grandpa is a God, how come he isn’t helping the pride?” She questioned, frowning. Maybe she could call shenanigans on her dark bony friend. |

"Gods do as they will," Gatito answered K'i-lin with a shrug of his shoulders. Just because his grandfather was a god did not mean that he would swoop down from above and come to their aid in their time of need. No, they had to rely on their own strengths to avoid nurturing their weaknesses. "My father, I guess, hasn't seen him in a long time. I would not expect even a god to be here for us."
Gatito held his ground even as his words were criticized. He did not believe that god blood was all that made his father special, and the fact that K'i-lin's dad had it as well was a little weird. He did not look like the son of a god, not nearly the imposing force of power and will that his own father was. He tilted his head, unable to hide the slight bit of doubt in his gaze. "Not that alone, no. My father uses his bloodline well - no other lion is a match for his strength! I haven't seen a lion yet best my dad, or come even close to being as fierce as he."
Then a smile, pride. Shameless, obvious pride for the father who had always been an idol for the young male. It was clear that no matter what Bast'ion said, nothing could sway Gatito's opinion of his father. Before he could get too settled into that pride, Bast'ion leaned close and spoke words that immediately brought embarrassment to the male.
He scooted back a solid foot, color rising to his cheeks. He had forgotten that K'i-lin spilled the beans on that! He was definitely going to perish. "She asked me to!" he defended himself quickly. "I didn't touch her without permission and I was, I was very gentle and kind and respectful!"
