<div align=center>Hadrian didn't particularly want to go to bed yet, either. It was too early right now, despite the darkness that reigned outside. "You could always put pyjamas on?" He asked with a shrug, that was always far more comfortable, regardless of whether you were sleeping or not. Hadrian didn't really own many pairs of pyjamas, though, he usually tended to sleep in old shirts and underwear, or... Well. The other option was probably not very appropriate at the moment, though Ania probably wouldn't have minded all that much. He laughed at her next comment, "I suppose that's one way to live." He said with a shrug, "you be carried everywhere, like a little queen."

He supposed he was glad he was a cat person too, a little dog wouldn't be half as effective as Altair. To people that didn't know any better, the beast was terrifying, and Hadrian could make him seem that way. "I suppose he is a bit, isn't he?" He laughed, it was nice to know that despite the fact Altair was more than twice the weight of him, both Ania and he were completely safe around him, and so was everyone else provided they didn't irritate the animal. Altair was just as liable to bite as a dog was if you provoked him.</div>

Pyjamas sounded like an excellent idea. It was no good to get comfortable and watch a movie, then have to get up and change right as you're about to fall asleep. She also thought that it would be nice to be carried everywhere. Though, her loyal subjects would most likely become tired of toting their lazy queen places. "Pyjamas are good. I'll change, and you find a movie." Looking down at herself, she had remembered not collecting clothes while leaving her dorm.

In a bit of a predicament, she paused before hooking her thumbs in her waistband and tugging off her pants. Wiggling in place for a few moments, Ania settled back in her original position with her pants puddled at her feet. She liked this shirt well enough, it was soft enough to sleep in and still looked new enough to wear outside. Blinking, she realised how incredibly lazy she must be, to not even be bothered to want to go find a different set of clothing. "Perhaps it's good that I'm not a queen. I'd be awfully lazy."

<div align=center>Hadrian wasn't all that sure what movie to pick, he pushed himself up and crossed the room, rummaging around in the cupboard underneath the television. He had an awful lot of movies, though he never really watched any of them. "300?" He asked, with a laugh, "I've got The Lion King?" Altair liked that movie, it wasn't about tigers, but he tended to get awfully close to the TV every time a lion roared, ears pricked, tail twitching. Hadrian vaguely remembered her not collecting clothes either, and when he glanced back to look at her she was taking her pants off- not that he minded too much.

"Are you gonna be warm enough like that?" He asked, tilting his head to the side, his house was relatively warm, but he could always go and fetch the duvet from upstairs, which would give him a chance to change clothes, too. His pants were beginning to feel uncomfortable by now, he rather wanted to go down the same route as his girlfriend had. "Do you want me to go and get a blanket?" He asked, leaning back against the DVD cupboard and crossing his legs on the carpet. Altair raised his head a short way, as if he were going to move to steal Hadrian's previous spot, before deciding it wasn't worth the effort, and dropping his chin back to the carpet again.</div>

Ania sat forward, her attention caught by the words Lion King. Disney movies had always held a special place in her heart - there was something magic about princes. And lions. "Lion King! Oh, I like the cheetahs the best. They look so soft and nice to pet. It's too bad I don't turn into a cheetah." She would be kissing people left and right if she could turn into a cheetah. Ania thought the Lion King to be a good idea, though. Mufasa's scenes always made her inspired in some odd way - she couldn't bear to watch his death scene, though. She refused to acknowledge that he was dead. Straightening out her legs, Ania examined them for a moment. "I think I'll be warm, but I wouldn't mind a blanket." His house was certainly well heated, and it made her never want to leave again. Perhaps he wouldn't really mind, if she just hid under his couch and never left.

Standing, Ania tugged her shirt down before shuffling to the couch that Hadrian had just occupied. Huddling down in the warm spot he left, Ania drew her legs to her chest. Allowing herself to tip over, she flopped down onto the cushion, maintaining her curled up position. "Plenty warm now, anyway."

<div align=center>"The Lion King it is, then." Hadrian returned, with a nod. He stuck the movie in the DVD player whilst he went upstairs to fetch the blanket and get changed. He supposed he could have offered Ania the bath or the shower, a bath would have been good for her after whatever exercise she had done today. He changed into a slightly over-sized shirt and a clean pair of underwear before gathering up the cover on his bed and bringing it back downstairs. He laughed when he saw that Ania had stolen his spot, "ah you little thief." He lifted an eyebrow and sat where her legs were, picking them up so they were settled on his lap rather than the couch.

Hadie tucked the girl up in the cover again, pulling the corner of it over himself and shuffling just that little bit closer. "A cheetah?" He finally said, glancing sideways at her, "Altair might get all jealous if there was another pretty little cat in his home." He purred, pressing a small, affectionate little kiss to Ania's cheek. "Fish are cool though. You're like a tiny little mermaid." He chirped, he liked the idea of a tiny Ania-mermaid, he thought that would be cute. Not that she wasn't already adorable. </div>

Smiling a bit guiltily for stealing the spot, Ania was rather glad to see his blanket. "Nooo, tigers are much prettier than cheetahs." She hadn't thought of herself as a mermaid before. Fish had always been a bit lame in her opinion. All they were really good for was decoration. You couldn't pet them or train them to do cool things. "At least you can pet a cheetah. And they don't need water to breathe!" That was the biggest downfall of being a fish, the inability to breathe out of water.

Face flushed with happiness, Ania curled in close to her boyfriend, wrapping one arm around his waist. Dates outside were nice, but one couldn't beat setting down to watch a movie under a blanket. Especially if that movie was The Lion King. "Thank you for letting me stay." The intro to the movie had begun, and goosebumps pricked her arms as the Circle of Life began to pour from the television. She didn't know quite what it was about the stupid song, but it always made her want to do something. "I wish I knew Swahili. They know how to sing."

<div align=center>"Yeah, but a cheetah can't breathe underwater to start with." Hadrian returned, cheetah's might have been fast, but they certainly couldn't boast the pretty set of scales that a fish could. Hadrian had always liked fish, there had been a koi pond in his garden at home, he'd always enjoyed throwing food to the fish and watching them all swim up and grab for it. "I think gills are pretty cool." He told her, hooking an arm around her shoulders when she shuffled closer. Her warmth was making him feel slow and sleepy, though it was a pleasant feeling, a comforting one. Hadrian wasn't one to actively seek comfort, but he'd gladly take it if offered to him, and he was rather good at providing it- if you were Ania, anyhow.

"Thank you for wanting to stay." He answered, tucking her in just a little closer as he spoke. "It gets awfully lonely y'know, Altair can't talk to me and he sucks at cuddling." The boy laughed softly, "he just wants to sit on you." There was obviously some complications involved in that, since despite Hadrian being as tall as he was, Altair was much heavier than him, and he'd very likely end up suffocating at the hands-- paws of him, if sat on.

"Hey, and y'know, they really do this when you aren't watching." He gave a nod toward the television, though Swahili sounded like a difficult language to learn, Hadrian got the feeling that African wasn't very easy. It was pretty to listen to though, the only language Hadrian knew was broken bits of Latin.</div>

"Poor Altair, perhaps you could become the fattest man in the world. So he can sit on you!" She really couldn't imagine Hadrian with so much weight on him, and supposed that he wouldn't look so very sharp anymore. Though, weight probably wouldn't make a body be able to withstand the immense pressure of a tiger. It would only make the bursting seams more ... Messy. Trying very hard to ignore the image of a fat Hadrian popping like a grape under an elephant, Ania stared at the screen, tracing each line of the animated scenes.

Tilting her head, Ania watched as Mufasa and Sarabi relinquished their new child to the monkey. He cracked open a fruit, and she squinted. Why was the fruit empty? There was only a bit of ambiguous juice in either half of the shell, and no meat. Perhaps she was overanalysing a movie about lions and monkeys, but the empty fruit bothered her more than it probably should. "Why is that fruit empty, there needs to be stuff inside it. I do hope he didn't smear rotten fruit on Simba." The monkey — who she remembered was named Rafiki — lifted the tiny cat high over the cliff, and she wondered. "Hey. Why do the zebras and things bow? Don't they know they're just gonna get eaten by the thing they're bowing to?" Her face screwed up in distaste. "I ask too many questions, I think. I'm sorry."

<div align=center>Hadrian thought about that for a moment, he didn't particularly fancy being the fattest man in the world, that was a thought that was very unpleasant indeed. He thought he'd probably lose about ninety nine percent of his sex appeal if he was the fattest man in the world, "perhaps I'll give that one a miss for now." He answered softly, his words accompanied by a small, confirming little nod. He didn't really think Ania would like him as much if he was the fattest man in the world, either. His attention was pulled back to the TV around the same time Ania's was.

The question she asked was a good one, and a confusing one. He didn't really know the answer to it. "Maybe... It fell out... And we... Didn't see it?" He suggested, tilting his head to the side. He couldn't really think of any other explanation for it. He thought Simba was cute, though he thought it was a little risky to dangle your newborn child over a huge cliff. A little too Micheal Jackson-esque if you ask me. "I guess the lion is still their king." He returned with a shrug, "they respect him even though he wants to eat them... I think... Circle of Life and all that."</div>

Ania thought that perhaps Hadrian would look like a big teddy with all that extra weight. He would be much harder to hug and sit with, though, so it was probably best that he stay small and Altair stay off. Squinting suspiciously at the screen, Ania supposed that the insides could have fallen out. "Well. They're not very good kings if they keep eating their subjects." Ania wasn't too sure if she would let a monkey dangle her child over a cliff, especially if he kept thrusting it out at the animals below. Shivering, Ania tucked her head underneath Hadrian's chin and watched the tiny lion on screen frolic around.

Now that she was older, she sympathised with Zazu more than she used to. Poor bird was only trying to keep his young master out of trouble. Simba just about murdered him trying to go see a couple elephant bones. She did have to admire the stupid cub for his bravery, though. Dragging his friend out to the very place his father forbid him to go. Simba just about murdered him trying to go see a couple elephant bones. "It would be cool, to go visit an elephant boneyard, wouldn't it?' They had some big bones, one could easily find themselves lost in such a place.
