Open! IF YOU DARE

[circleoflife]

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.

"My condolences," Mufasa says, deciding to get up and simply just walk around and inspect the room for a moment. He'd normally prefer to give his utmost attention to whomever was conversing with him, but he figured that Phoenix might feel a bit more relaxed if he wasn't the center of his attention. And he felt that, if nothing else, he was considerate enough not to run out in the middle of a conversation.

Idly looking at a potted plant and the table it was placed on, he says, "If nothing else, I'm hoping that this castle is hospitable."

"It's hospitable enough, but it can be lonely... especially if you're missing someone from back home."

He eyes the lion examining the room and distantly wonders if this is, perhaps, the strangest thing he's witnessed since coming here. Including the dead body that one time.

"Which... lots of people are," he adds, although he's lucky enough to not be one of them.

"Being in a foreign land can be difficult without a familiar face," Mufasa agrees, looking back at Phoenix. "Luckily, there are plenty of new faces to meet here."
