[SOJOURN]

The lion glanced down at the other, clear amusement in his gaze. A good question to ask, smart to be perceptive to ask it. He found himself thoughtful got a moment before his silken voice responded with ease. "Now, now, Inferno. I can't give away all my secrets. But let's just say I borrowed it from some fishes." Revolting fishes as they were. His tail swayed as he watched her go about getting the blood on herself and he would wait his turn. "Of course, I don't plan on cheating. The course is meant for the both of us after all." His tail swayed back and forth once more as she finally finished and he dunked a large paw into the blood. It splattered out of the bucket and he withdrew it to place it upon his body and smear it over his face. Once more and he smeared the thick red against his chest and legs. Getting some on his sides as well. It was almost calming in a way before he smiled casually. Two felines covered in blood. What a sight this would be to see.

After that he turned then to look at the course, the Malus flytraps were wiggling, smelling the scent of a different blood. Opening their mouths. They were hungry it seemed. "Oh and before I forget..." Choices and paths that he had taken led him here. Just a bit more chaos to throw into the pot. Just a bit more trouble to create a bigger festering wound. It would make him happy to have another to call daughter. A son and a daughter. "Welcome to the family, Inferno. I've decided to treat you as my own. My daughter so make me proud." Then without a thought he aimed to pick the smaller cat up and toss her onto the course, moving after a second to also step paw on it.
