3rd Gen Tigon❤️
℘ąıŋƙıƖƖɛཞ seemed down today. When you asked her what was wrong, she looked up at you with sadness in her eyes and asked why everyone treats her so differently.
You came back from a territorial dispute feeling stressed. ℘ąıŋƙıƖƖɛཞ bumped shoulders with you and offered to hang out and share a meal by the pond. You relaxed as she told you a funny story of that day.
再见,亲爱的
*Good bye my love*
I'm afraid of all I am
My mind feels like a foreign land
Silence ringing inside my head
Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home
Painkiller paced in front of the tree stump, tail swishing back and forth. She had been teased about being different, but so what? Different was good, and she wouldn't let anyone change her mind.
"So, how're you doing today?" A smilus asked as he approached her. Painkiller whipped around, her expression unreadable, "I'm doing alright, Phoenix." She told her king, though a tiny bit of sadness seeped through. Phoenix seemed to notice and tilted his head, "Is there something wrong? You can tell me." He reassured her. Painkiller looked down and studied her paws as if they were the most interesting thing in the world, "Please?" Phoenix asked, "Tell me." Painkiller sighed, "The other lionesses. They teased me about being different and said horrible things." She looked up at Phoenix, tears welling up in her eyes. "Don't be sad, I like different." Phoenix whispered to her, pulling Painkiller in for a hug, "I love you for being different. What's life without some change?" His eyes sparkled and Painkiller smiled, "You always know how to cheer me up." Phoenix laughed, "Or maybe it's because it's too easy to make you smile." Painkiller playfully swatted his face, "Of course not!" She purred.
A few days later, Phoenix and Painkiller were lounging in the shade, "Wonderful day isn't it?" He asked the tigon. Before Painkiller could reply, a black piebald lioness approached from behind, "Yes, but someone is ruining it." Flower replied. Painkiller looked away at the comment and Phoenix stiffened, "Flower, that's enough. Painkiller doesn't ruin anything. Learn to respect other pridemates." Painkiller smiled gratefully at Phoenix, who nodded and looked back at Flower. "I... I'm sorry Painkiller." Flower apologized, "Sorry for saying those things about you." She glanced up at the other female, hoping she would be forgiven. Painkiller approached Flower slowly, "We all do those things, Flower." She told the piebald, "There's no permanent harm done!" She smiled, and the two headed back to the group of lionesses, chattering about hunts. Phoenix smiled and watched them leave, "Now I'm lonely." He purred.
