[b][color=F39B05]Time:[/color][/b] Morning’s are for rescuing Malachi!

Zion smiled wide as Kenia confirmed his guess. [color=F39B05]“A lion knows a skilled huntress when he sees one. Your grace is cat-like and that is a compliment I rarely give.”[/color] Her swiftness in offering to help, despite Malachi's earlier rudeness, told Zion that Kenia also possessed a kind and courageous heart, willing to run towards danger to help another. He was confident that their group needed someone like her and he’d just have to convince Malachi of the same. 

[color=F39B05]“Jun, Malachi has made it his mission to keep you safe, would you really leave him to fend for himself if danger arises? He is part of this pride, he has selflessly taken on the burden of leading, and he gets up early to make breakfast because he cares about all of us. Malachi has earned better than this.”[/color] Zion tried his best not to sound condescending as he addressed the human, but Jun’s lack of concern for Malachi disturbed the young lion. Surely if he put the situation in the appropriate context the human would understand. Most of the rest of what Jun said was just a confusing jumble of words to the lion. [i]Mages? Rogues? Switching roles? Surely Kenia was no assassin, such an accusation was just rude. What on Avalia was the human on about? Who was targeting Enstille?[/i] 

[color=F39B05]“Excellent planning Jun."[/color] He declared even without understanding much beyond 'stick together'. He was just happy to see Jun participating. [color=F39B05]“We will all go and help Malachi, I do not believe it is normal for him to run away like this, [i]with breakfast left uneaten[/i]. And if he doesn't need help, we can all enjoy some post-breakfast exercise!”[/color] He clapped his hands with excitement, taking Jun’s words of advice as an agreement to help. He grabbed his halberd from where it perched against a wall ready for whatever was happening in the woods.[/color]
