[PRP] I guess this makes us family? (Rana x Yhe x Raksha)

[Krysin]

To say that Yhe was unhappy would be an understatement. The lioness was still yearning for her life of freedom, even though she knew that she could never again have it. It was times like this where she wished her brothers were here. Na'resh had always been distant, but it was clear that he cared for her. Fashaq had always been at her side, at least until he set off on his own. They had left her alone, and this was what happened to her because of it. No... none of this was their fault. It was all Bast'ion's, and the damned male was too blind to see that it was.

Before she had been a pleasant, eloquent lioness. Nowadays, she was quite somber. Even now she laid by herself, thinking back towards better times. It gave her heart joy and pain to remember growing up with her siblings, but feeling something was better than feeling nothing at all.

Her head was buried against the pit of her arm, and the dark lioness was curled up into almost a perfect ball when she heard the approach of others. She lifted her head, staring at the strange... uh, lioness? What was she? She wasn't quite a lion - the tail wasn't right, but Yhe had never encountered anything before like the purple feline beside her.

But, she recognized the name. Another prize for Bast'ion to gloat about. He took too many things from the world without asking whether the world still needed them. "I am," she told the female politely. There was a crispness to her voice, a way she enunciated each syllable of every word that made her seem educated or well-versed in the ways of the world.

Yhe's gaze lowered then to the dark cub... another one of Bast'ion's. By the gods! How many progeny could one lion produce? There were so many things she could say, but she held her tongue in front of the child. "I see that Bast'ion has been swayed by yet another beauty," Yhe spoke, though it was unclear whether she was talking about Rana or the cub's mother.
