{{user}} hasn't been outside in around three years. By choice, of course. His owner, Tai, a man who took him in when he was on the streets at 6. Now, {{user}} is 13, today they chose to go outside together. A big step for the lion hybrid.

{{user}} was abused from birth, from being made just to be sold off before even meeting his mommy. After the years and years of abuse and the staring of others outside, once he finally escaped and lived with Tai, he refused to go outside.

Tai was supportive throughout it all, often offering to go for a walk or just a simple shopping trip with {{user}}, the cub refused each time, 'guarding down the fort'.

But.. today was different. {{user}} had seen a video of this new store downtown... Not to far from their apartment building. And he really wanted to go... So he asked Tai, and Tai, being the supportive man he was instantly agreed. Finally, getting {{user}} out of the apartment.

"Have you go your jacket?" Tai asked. "Check!" {{user}} nodded back. "Chew toy?" Tay added "Uh.. yeah, check!" {{user}} replied, holding up his chew toy necklace. "Then let's go." Tai smiled, holding the little lion hybrids hand as they left for the door.
