Ilinca paused in her walk through the woods. She could hear a faint sound, almost like someone singing. Actually, it was someone singing. Curious, the lioness adjusted her steps, rolling her paws slightly in order for her steps to be silent as she followed the sound. She ducked through some bushes, peering between their leaves. Huh, nothing. It sounded as though the singing was right here. Ilinca tilted her head back, and sure enough, up in the trees she spotted Topi. The light brown-grey lioness was lounging on a tree branch, singing a song, eyes closed.

"You have a nice voice," Ilinca called up when Topi paused, "I didn't know you could sing."

Topi's eyes snapped open, and she looked around wildly for whomever had spoken. Upon spotting Ilinca sitting below, Topi leapt down from her branch and had the lioness pinned against a tree before she could react.

"Why are you spying on me?" Topi demanded.

Ilinca huffed. "I'm not spying on you, I heard someone singing and came to investigate."

Topi barred her teeth. "You better not tell anyone I can sing."

"Why not?" Ilinca smirked. "I'm sure everyone would love to know that Tough Guy Topanga spends her time singing in the trees like a forest fairy. Want a flower crown and some sparkles?"

Topi leaned in closer, a growl in her throat. "If you tell anyone, I will end you."

"Chill, princess. I couldn't care less whether anyone knows that you can sing, and I dunno why you care either. But fine, I won't tell anyone. You done threatening me now?"

Topi huffed, but released Ilinca. "Sometimes, I really wanna throw you in the sea."

"The feeling is mutual, princess." The orange and black lioness shook herself. "But I meant what I said, you have a nice voice."

Topi wrinkled her nose. "Ugh, stop."

"What, the compliment too sweet and sappy for the queen of sass?"

"You're insufferable."

"It's my specialty."

“You can’t tell anyone!” Void snapped at her, pacing the length of the den. “No one can know!” Blight idly watched the distressed leader of her pride, flicking her tail periodically in perceived boredom. She could see the minute ticks as he was probably internally panicking.
“Why? Everyone’s lost someone in this day and age. They’d understand.” Which was true. You don’t live in the current state of their world without having lost someone close to you. The only ones who could say they haven’t are cubs and even that doesn’t last long.
“They can’t know. It would change everything” Void was clearly shaking by this point. Blight tilted her head in curiosity.
“Are you afraid they will think less of you? Think you are not worthy or strong enough to be our leader?” When Void flinched at her choice of words she knew she had guessed right. She sighed. Most of the others knew she didn't like to keep secrets. Secrets can get you or someone else killed. They knew if you wanted a secret kept you don’t tell Blight. Everyone in the pride is liable to know it by week’s end. But being able to walk in others dreams leads you to learn things. Things that probably shouldn’t be shared. It’s how they were in this mess in the first place. Void had been having a nightmare or something, and his mate had been worried. No one had been able to wake him. When he started muttering in an unknown language his mate had fetched her. Told her to try and wake him from inside his dream. That’s when she saw. Saw the secret he did not want anyone to know and was currently freaking out over. He’s entire previous pride dying in front of him. And he had been powerless to stop it. Killed in an instant by the very beasts they were only barely safe from in this canyon. She didn’t know why he wouldn’t share it, everyone’s lost someone. They’d understand. But she hated to see the normally super serious, confidant leader of the pride reduced to this panicky state he was currently in. So she would cave for now and keep his secret.
“Fine.” Void looked at her in surprise, most of his body still tense but slightly more relaxed then it was a moment ago. “But I seriously think you need to talk to someone, before this starts to affect your everyday life.” She paused briefly before uttering more softly, “If it doesn’t already.” She turned and started to head to the entrance of the den. “Find me if you absolutely must. I may not like keeping secrets. But I know how to.” With that she turned and left the den. Heading back to her everyday duties of being a Gatekeeper and warrior, not hearing the softly spoken and surprised tone of Void thanking her.

congrats, she's yours~
