The screeching of his sister entered his sensitive ears and exited out the other as he passed the Hall of Kings. Romulus would let her grieve... alone. His internal thoughts wandered to what she pondered, but he snapped free from his inquisitive hold moments later. Rounded ears snapped behind him. As the statues crumbled from Sojourn's ice, the ground underneath his feet rumbled and the slamming stone rung in his cranium. Periwinkle hues narrowed. Concern striking his mind, the lion shot forward.
His pace slowed as he reached the top of the stairs. Eyes widened at the sight in the middle of the hall and surveyed the debris of his parent's sculptures. The floor beneath his feet began to tremor. His teeth gritted together. A maned head snapped over towards Sojourn, fiery eyes challenging her power. With bared teeth, a growl began to rumble out of the back of his throat. His muscles clenched with tension. Romulus would not attack his sister for materialistic sculptures that he could replace.
His tail lashed. Strands of hair fell into his eyes as he tilted his head to the side. "Sojourn, you say they brought ruin, but they brought us out of ruin and gave us the territory we stand on now," he inquired back. Rather than using violence, something she understood well, Romulus still believed his words could reach her. "They gave us a home." A place to thrive. Somewhere to live on. She was ungrateful to think otherwise. Especially when she was the one they spoiled.
He stepped forward. His face hovered close to his sister's, looking her in the eyes. Romulus' breath rolled out hot from his maw as he leaned forward. "What have you done for us, Sojourn, besides destroy the legacy that stands before us?" he asked in a strained whisper.
