Raziel watched with concealed fondness as he watched Leo jump around excitedly and eagerly tickled him in different spots. However, sadly for the little lion, Raz grew tired of giggling like a girl and stopped laughing in mid tickle. Instead, he focused his fiery, intense gaze on the boy and wondered what had happened to the boy's family; he wondered who had dropped such an adorable creature here; he wondered if the boy even remembered his former home before he arrived. 

With a sigh, the Roman pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the task at hand. A weary smile spread across the weathered Alpha's face as the boy babbled with an excitement that was lost to the silver leader. He shifted his position so he was lying across the entrance of the den and so his gaze was fixed on the boy. "Where are your family?" he wondered aloud as he reached to plant a fatherly kiss on the kid's forehead.
