"Yes, great leader. A Lion, as powerful as you. He appeared out of nowhere and chased me out of my territory…"
"A Lion?" Constantyne asked, puzzled. Oliver breathed a sigh of relief, this was the calmest he had ever seen Constantyne.
"Yes, strongest one, a lion, an actual lion, dared to enter my territory.
He beat me up, chased me away here to deliver a message to you," Oliver said. He kept his face down and his voice shaky to make it believable.
"What would a lion be doing here," Constantyne asked no one in particular.
Darius's mother finally spoke up in a harsh and authoritative tone, "And why haven't you spoken of this message yet,"
She too was ironically hot-tempered and shared the common lack of patience that those with her personality had.
"I was waiting for Master Constantyne's permission, Agatha," Oliver said.
Agatha was the name of Darius's mother.
"Well then, out with it," Constantyne commanded.
