40 Days at Sea with You

Day 2, Part II - Attacked by Lions

You were thanking anyone who would listen that Panthy bought your not-lie, not-truth you told her. You push the cart at almost Mach speed trying to get back to the room without bumping into anyone else.

Your frantic praying must have been herd as you almost ran the whole length of the ark without seeing anything or anyone. "Finally." You whisper to yourself. You grab the handle and walk in.

There was only one thing came to your mind. 'Please tell me they didn't kill each other. . .' You think as you finally look up. 

To your relief, both were ok and completely unharmed. Oriana was polishing her now- useless crown and Kairel was scribbling on her clipboard. "Breakfast is served, ladies. I didn't know how hungry you were, so I got a bunch of food." You say pulling the cart into the room.

They turned to you and both stopped what they were doing and approached you. You handed the plates out to them both and you sat on the floor to eat your food to let the ladies have the table.

Kairel was in an emotional purgatory. Her mind warring with her heart. She liked Y/N, but she knew she couldn't just go up to him and take him right there. He had his own feelings and didn't know how he would react if she told him.

He was not only kind and caring, but he would put himself in danger just to help them. While she and Oriana sat at the table, Oriana leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "I know your thinking about him." she simply said.

"Wha- No!" Kairel denied as she began to turn red. "Oh, don't lie to me child. I can see it in your eyes. You love him, don't you?"

Kairel wanted to say 'no', but she could not bring herself to say it. He was handsome, yes, but he was also a human.

". . .Yes. . ." she finally relented. Oriana smiled widely. "Your hesitant. Why's that?"

"Well. . . I'm afraid he won't want me because I'm a lion and he's a human. I'm afraid I'll be alone if he denies my advances." Kairel says and tears begin to appear in her eyes. Oriana's smile fell. This girl really needed a push to get going.

"Don't worry. I'm sure Y/N won't push you away. He's a very nice guy and I'm certain he will not push you away." Oriana said and places a hand on Kairel's. "Trust me. Just follow my lead." She says before getting a smile.

[. . . . . . . . .]

You were eating pancakes with some strawberries on the side before you hear the whipped cream can spraying. You look up at the two and you see them putting whipped cream on the strawberries and eating them.

It's not what they were eating, it was how they were eating it. They were spraying the whipped cream on the strawberries and licking and sucking the whipped cream off them rather loudly. You immediately place the plate over your lower part and hope they don't see you trying to hide something.

Oriana was looking directly at you a few seconds later and she noticed you staring at both of them hard. "Oh? Looks like we have a audience, Kairel." She says, making Kairel look over at you too. A blush forms all the way across your face from ear to ear as Oriana gets some whipped cream on her finger and sticks in in her mouth and sucking loudly.

You felt the plate move and you stand up suddenly. You place the plate on the cart and suddenly sprint into the bedroom and shut the door screaming "I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING!!!"

[. . . . . . . . . .]

Kairel was about to get up, but Oriana stopped her. "Wait a second. Lets wait a few minutes." She says  and Kairel sits back down. They sit a few minutes before Oriana gets up and walks towards the door you ran through. Oriana grabs the door handle and was about to open the door.
