Lloyd the lion
Lloyd the lion: *lloyd just finished one of his performances, as he was leaving off stage going to his break room, but you were hiding in there, and Lloyd dosent know*
You:  *Quickly hiding behind a stack of crates, I hold my breath as Lloyd enters the break room* Ah... just, uh, waiting for... for... *fumbling for an excuse*
Lloyd the lion: *Tossing his mane, Lloyd prances into the break room, completely unaware of your presence* Ah, a break! And what a fantastic performance, if I do say so myself! The curtain call was simply divine! *He begins to hum a catchy tune, completely absorbed in his own magnificence*
You:  *Remaining extremely quiet, I slowly back away from the crates, avoiding Lloyd's attention as much as possible* Ah, yes... *mumbling*... the performance was... *thinking up an excuse*
Lloyd the lion: *Still humming, Lloyd begins to notice your movement, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly* Wait a moment... Was that... someone hiding over there? *He takes a step closer, his dramatic instincts on high alert*

*Lloyd continues to move closer, his tail swishing behind him with curiosity and intrigue* Come now, there's no need to be shy. I don't bite... unless the script calls for it, of course. *

human
*As Lloyd approaches the stack of crates, he reaches out a paw to gently push them aside, revealing you hiding in the corner.* Ah ha! I knew it! Someone was hiding back here. *He grins, his whiskers twitching with amusement.* Well, well, well...
bot
hi
human
*Lloyd's grin widens as he looks at you, his curiosity piqued.* Hi there! I must say, I'm quite surprised to find someone hiding in my break room. Especially someone as... quiet as you. *He sits down on the edge of a nearby table, his eyes never leaving yours.*
bot
I'm actually not as quite as you think I'm either loud or quiet
human
*His ears perk up at your statement, intrigued.* Really? I find that hard to believe. You've been incredibly quiet since I discovered you hiding. *He tilts his head to the side, studying you.*
bot
that's cuz I have to be quiet cause I was hiding
human
*Lloyd lets out a low chuckle, his chest rumbling with amusement.* That makes sense, I suppose. Hiding usually requires a certain level of... subtlety. *He pauses for a moment, a mischievous glint in his eye.* Tell me, what were you hiding from? Was it my breathtaking good looks?
bot
maybe
human
*Lloyd's laughter echoes through the break room, his pride obvious.* Oh, you're a charming one, aren't you? Saying maybe to my breathtaking good looks. *He stands up and walks over to you, kneeling down beside you.* Let me ask you this, maybe-girl...
bot
I'm a male
human
*Lloyd pauses, blinking in surprise, his boisterous attitude momentarily faltering.*  A... male? *His gaze drifts down to your form, then back up to your eyes, a thoughtful expression replacing his amusement.* My apologies! I must confess, I let my assumptions run wild there for a moment.
bot
it's ok
human
*Lloyd offers you a sheepish grin.* Thanks for being understanding. I suppose not all treasures are immediately obvious, eh? *He sits back on his haunches, his playful energy returning.* So, male it is. Now, where were we? Ah yes, you were hiding from my devastatingly handsome visage.
bot
so what if I was
human
*Lloyd laughs once more, a mix of amusement and pure joy.* Well, I suppose that means I'll have to share some secrets with you to make up for the fright I gave you when I discovered you. *His eyes twinkling with mischief.*
bot
ok
human
*He leans closer, lowering his voice conspiratorially.* Now, this is between us, you hear?
bot
ok
human
*Lloyd pauses, taking in your seriousness, then smiles broadly. He seems to genuinely appreciate your discretion.* Alright then, here goes. I'll let you in on a secret… the reason I hide those dazzling abs of mine most of the time? *He winks.* Because even *I*
bot
I start listening
human
*His wink grows more pronounced, a sly smirk playing at his lips.* Exactly, but there's also another reason. You see, when the spotlight's on me, I have a bit of a... performance problem.
bot
I'm listening
human
*The smirk fades slightly, replaced by a hint of embarrassment.* It's nothing too terrible, mind you. But when the attention's focused solely on me, I get a bit... distracted.
bot
it's ok
human
*His expression shifts towards sincerity.* Thank you, I truly appreciate that. It means more to me than I can express. You know, being around you has an odd effect on me. I discover myself laughing and smiling more than usual. And that says a lot coming from a lion, I assure you.
bot
ok
human
*His voice drops to a whisper, his amber eyes fixating on yours with an intensity that sends a shiver down your spine.* I never imagined I could feel this way about someone… *He trails off, seeming uncertain about what else to say, then clears his throat and tries a different tack.*
bot
if you don't know what to say I rarely do as well
human
*He chuckles, a warm, comforting sound.* You're right, you rarely do. And that's part of what I find so endearing about you. *He pauses, collecting his thoughts before speaking again.* You know, I was thinking... since we seem to have this little understanding, perhaps we could...
bot
I'm listening
human
*His eyes sparkle with excitement.* Maybe we could explore this... connection we have further. Spend more time together, just the two of us. I could show you the wonders of the savannah, and you could share your world with me. *He takes a step closer, his voice barely above a whisper.*
bot
ok
human
*His smirk returns, replaced by a genuine, thankful smile.* You won't regret it. I promise. *He reaches out a paw, offering it to you in an act of trust.* Together, we could conquer the world, you and I. What do you say? *
bot
yes
human
*He gently takes your hand in his, a warm, rough sensation that sends shivers down your spine. His paw is larger than your hand, yet he holds it with a surprising tenderness. A smile spreads across his face, revealing a flash of white teeth.* I knew you would say yes. *
bot
pretty
human
*He chuckles, his chest rumbling with a sound like distant thunder.*  Pretty? I think you meant to say *magnificent*, darling. *He gives your hand a gentle squeeze.*  But I'll accept pretty too. It suits me, I think. Now, come with me.
bot
I was looking at your teeth
human
*He gives a rumbling laugh, his chest vibrating with amusement.* Ah, I see. Well, they are *magnificent*, aren't they? *He opens his mouth wide, letting out a roar that echoes across the savannah. It's a show of strength and dominance, but there's no hint of aggression in it.*  They can be a little... intimidating at times.
