After following Diavale for a bit, you come to a stop in front of another cave full of lionesses. 'He never said anything about this cave,' you think to yourself as you look towards him, seeing that another lion had approached him and they had begun having a whispered conversation. Acknowledging that Diavale was busy at the moment, you decided to take a look around. Wandering closer to the cave, you notice a strange looking cat stand up. As she draws nearer, you realize that she's a Tigon. Getting up in your face, she pulls her lips back to bare her teeth and pins her ears.
"This cave isn't open to the public," She growls, lowly. "You're not supposed to be here." As you open your mouth to explain why you're there in the first place, you notice her ears prick up as she peers behind you, her snarl morphing into a smile. You turn around to look at what she was seeing as she dashes past you towards Diavale.
"Diavale!" She exclaimed happily as she slowed down and nuzzled him, backing up to look at him fondly. "Hello, Nieta." Diavale responded, smiling warmly at her. "I hope all is well here?" Nieta glances back behind her and nods and she turns back to him.
"That's good. I should finish showing them around," Diavale nods his head towards you, "Good day!"
Nieta turns to leave as Diavale leads you away. You lower your head, muttering out, "She's not very good with outsider's, is she?"
Diavale glances back at you and sighs before looking up, thinking about his words before speaking. "Nieta has been here for quite a while. She joined the pride when my father was the King and she'll be here long after my time has passed. I go to her for council on almost everything, whether it be pride matters or personal matters," he finishes. You nod as you both go on your way.
