Flight of the Silverbird

Flight of the Silverbird is sitting in the rain, staring intently at his paws. The lightning flashes and he looks somehow dashing despite being soaked. How does he do that?
----------------------------------------
Being Sonata's first Primal child, he and Silverbird have always been close. Even though he claims to love his pride equally, Sonata values him more than any of the lionesses in his pride, and Silverbird deeply values his father's opinion and simply wants to make him proud. They have a strong bond, and Silverbird tries to be there for Sonata whenever he needs him.
-----------------------------------------
As you wander the den, Silverbird is the first lion you see, grooming his paws. He stops when he sees you and lifts his head to nod at you in acknowledgment.

"Hello again. I don't think I gave a proper introduction when we first met. I go by the name Silverbird. I am Sonata's first child and his first Primal offspring." He declares while puffing out his chest with pride.

"Even though I have no actual authority, you could say that I'm second in command for this pride. I'd like to succeed my father, but if he decides I'm not the right fit, I'll respect that decision." He says simply before stretching and rising to his paws. He gazes at you thoughtfully, the way he's treating you seems so different from when he first met you.

"Feel free to wander around and chat with the pride. You can spend the night with us in this den if you decide to stay. So that we can monitor you and make sure you don't fool around with my father's females unless you were given permission." He flicks his tail and nods curtly as if to dismiss you. You return his nod and thank him, continuing with exploring the den looking for its' inhabitants to meet.
