He’d placed the tie, at least. It was one of those dorky ties Hakuba always wore around. And, given how creatures had a penchant for transforming people, that wouldn’t be too surprising… KID laid down next to the lion, purring. 

The tie was not dorky in the slightest, but KID could probably be forgiven because he was, after all, only a snow leopard, who are not known for their accessorizing skills. Unlike the Hakuba lion, who – not knowing that KID was so rudely unfond of his choice of attire – purred when the other big cat got closer. Because company was always nice, especially if was company that he trusted. 

…even if they had no idea what constituted a good tie or not. Huff.

KID crept up closer and closer, noting the tie on the ground. Strange… Then again, he was a much smaller feline overall. Probably not considered a threat by this lion.

He sat by the lion. He yawned. So, what now? The smell the lion had was familiar, and something about him was calming. The eyes and odd mane were also offputting.

…odd mane? It was amazingly curly and soft and gorgeous. Not odd at all. Pft.  Hakuba looked up at the snow leopard, relaxed and just laying there… the laziest lion that ever was (probably not true). He stretched out a paw, because the overly lazy lion was still overly thinking and fretting (being Hakuba after all), and this new feline also seemed familiar. Too familiar.
