Starting over

'Destery? What are you doing up so early?'

'hm?'

'Everybody else usually sleeps for at least a few more hours!'

'...oh! Well I'm used to getting up early...my father used to get me up at the crack of dawn'.

'Gross! You CAN go back to sleep if you like'

'Nah, it's sort of habit now'

'Well, why don't you keep me company during my morning patrol?'

'sure!'

-later on-

'Are you missing your family back at your old pride?'

'Oh no...I wasn't close to my dad, and...I don't have a mum'.

'Hey, what about me? You can think of me as your mother from now on'

'Really? Thanks!...but, you're Zoltans mum too...that's sort of...'

'Weird? Well, most of our family is weird, it's what makes us special right?'

'heh, I'll fit right in then'

Just wanted to show you guys the relationship between Iris and Destery ^_^

Also I figured you guys are sick of him looking sad XDD

this would take place quite a while after Des joined this pride, since Zoltan couldn't stand him at first CX
