How did you ever get here to start with?

It all started after you helped Leona out of his Overblot. One thing spiraled into another and next, you found yourself consistently aiding this lazy lion in his afternoon naps as his bodypillow or something

Currently he was holding onto you as he slept in his favorite spot to nap in the school greenhouses, breathing gently as he cuddled you. It's strange to imagine that your first meeting with him was him threatening you for stepping on his tail.
