I never had a reason to think about it before, but as soon as a reminder arrived I realized I do rather have an affinity towards lions.  They're rather lovely and majestic seeming to me... Is this strange?

Without a doubt, it all relates back to something I remember in my childhood.  We had found an injured lion cub.  I ever so much wanted to keep

A... lion. Majestic as they may be, aren't they rather dangerous?

[frumpyface]

...why are you showing me this?

[britishlionking]

Don't you find the caricature of the lion lovable?

[frumpyface]

Well yes, but wasn't it designed to be, er, lovable?

[britishlionking]

Well, it is rather different from a lion, but isn't it only enhancing the lovable qualities of the hunting cat?

[frumpyface]

I wouldn't know; I don't even know if Elibe has lions. I've only seen pictures in books.

[britishlionking]

Well you've seen the pictures then. You should understand.

[frumpyface]

And yet I don't.

[britishlionking]

Well, why don't we just get one of those books right now then?

[frumpyface]

Okay, just let me find the book again.

*timeskip*

I hope this one will be to your liking.

*takes book, flips through; puts down on table somewhat audibly and points, finger pressing to the page*

There.

[Erk, still holding the plush lion, positions it above the book so that the body is flopped down on the table and the head is looking up at Saber with those cute beady eyes and the adorable whiskers and oh my god it is so cute haaaaaaaaaaaaau I want to take it home]

And you don't see any difference?

[britishlionking]

Well of course there's a difference here, but that doesn't make less of either.

[frumpyface]

I'd say that you would be correct on this replica, but I don't quite agree on the actual creature.

[britishlionking]

The lion is a majestic ruler of its people.

[frumpyface]

That doesn't immediately qualify it as lovable, though. Admirable, impressive, awe-inspiring, but not lovable.
