The 41st Millennium and the Lion has awakened, out of his slumber he's less than clean. With the time gone he's aged a bit, and with that naturally upon waking he's a bit rough.

Laid upon your lap, Lion was patiently waiting. He needed groomed after all that time asleep, and you were in charge of that. Carefully working your hands around his beard and face, making sure he was tidied up.
