Open! IF YOU DARE

Who: Mufasa and you!
What: A big ol' lion arrives at Paradisa.
When: how about now
Where: Castle lobby
Rating: PG? depends on who comes in

A clicking sound can be heard from the entrance as Mufasa's pawpads come in contact with the cool, solid ground, the relative loudness of the clicking being evidence to his great size. For a wild animal, his coat and mane are well-kept, and even though he's in a completely foreign area-- maybe even especially so-- he keeps his head held high. Though he has a guarded look to him, nothing in his body language indicates hostility. He stops once he's a few strides inside, looking around for any sign of life.

Allen had been asked to care for Natsu, the little lion, while Tsuna was away. It was not an easy task, but over time he was getting more and more used to the job. It was easy to imagine Natsu was an extra furry cat, and now he's managed to allow Natsu to follow behind him without his blood pressure spiking every time he heard the click of claws on tile.

However when he turns a corner (with Natsu trailing behind), and sees a fully grown lion in the middle of the lobby? All that exposure therapy via the lion cubs go out the window and he proceeds to turn white as a ghost, lets out a little scream and quickly hides behind said corner.

Mufasa perks his ears when he sees Allen, only to see him blanch and hide, his ear flicking a little at the noise. Was that... some sort of baboon? The animals that Mufasa are encountering here truly get stranger and stranger.

Well, it's certainly no surprise that he would be frightened; Mufasa is a full-grown lion, after all. He stays stationary, seeing no need to panic whatever it was any further.

However, he does opt to speak, since he does need information.

"There is no need for alarm; I have no desire to harm you. I only wish to know where the king of these lands resides, so that I may speak to him."

Oh good. It's a talking lion. Why does it have to be a talking lion? Talking lions want to TALK instead of letting Allen run for it.

But he'll swallow, making sure to put Natsu back into his rings. The last thing he wants to explain is that a lion thingy is someone's pet to a talking lion. He can let Tsuna explain to that.

"T-There is no king here...at least king of this land." He'll brave a glance from around the corner. "We're just...brought here."

Oh yes, Allen. I'm sure a feral lion that would much rather chase and eat you would be a lot easier to deal with one who'd rather talk.

Upon seeing Allen's fearful eyes, Mufasa lets out a quiet sigh, relaxing his body and letting a warm smile grace his muzzle. He hardly expects him to approach any more than he already has, but the least he could do in exchange for the information was to try to make him feel less threatened.

"Then, may I speak to the one responsible for my being here?"
