[Oh!! Oh, look at his dangly little paws!! He's not even fighting it, he's just...he's just chilling out there, isn't he--
And then Tybolt is handed to Atem, who takes him, and adjusts so he's comfy, because there's a surprising amount of weight to this lion.]
He's...surprisingly patient...ah!
[Large? Large mane person is holding Tybolt now? Tybolt does the most he's done since Atem saw him, and wriggles around in Atem's arms so that they're facing each other. Atem obliges, and once Tybolt is settled back down, the lion looks up at him.
Sniffs. Sniffs his chin, with a snuffly lion nose. Atem's not sure what to do about it, but the sniffing is extremely cute.
Then, Tybolt bumps his head up underneath Atem's chin, and something about it feels like magic. It feels a little like the first time he held Big Sven; Atem's red eyes go wide the same way, staring at Steve in serotonin-induced panic, and it feels? Weirdly familiar? It's got to be because it's a big, lazy cat, and he's used to that with Big Sven, it's just...]
Yes, it...it is!
[Oh god there's a little lion rubbing its face on Atem's chin and he knows he's got to keep an ear out for any signs Tybolt might lick him because he doesn't want to get hurt, but, but this is maybe the coolest thing ever?]
