Strange ties

The last of his fears faded as his smiling sister opened her door and kissed him upon his snout. His shoulders eased, and a grin spreed across his muzzle. He went from coma doing warlord to dotting brother in the blink of an eye. Even his vulture relaxed upon his shoulder. He didnt turn to Bast, so he continued to miss her strange expression.

He entered the room and was introduced to the very cat that had worried him. The leopard seemed relaxed, and Ios approval of him was all he needed. He nodded his head in the creatures direction in greeting. He mostly dismissed him after that, no longer seeing him as a threat. Instead he sat next to his sisters absently telling Bast to close the door behind her. "I feel like it's been too long since I spent time in your pleasant company" he admitted to his sister. He heard the door close and looked up, and blinked in surprise. Bast hovered shyly by the door, none if her usual comfort showing, where she was normally happy to flop down besides his sister and quietly cuddle. "What's gotten into you Bast" he gently scolded.
