Kieran,
Lion of Junior Member
Played by Mara
Sometime ago, one of the crew had asked him why he never put his name forward for the captaincy. He was a capable warrior, had proved himself a skilled leader in battle - he would have the votes, or be able to earn them, if he so chose. Kieran had said it never interested him, and that he is better suited to other positions. That was not the entire truth.

He does not need to reassure her, and he does anyway. Kieran has never questioned it, or the urge to defend her - she is his captain, and it’s natural to do so. Rue is more than capable, and has proved herself over her time as captain, even if has not been for so very long. Whatever she faces, whatever challenger she comes against, there’s nothing that can happen that will sway his opinion. Rue would die before falling to fear and weakness - and that is something that will simply not happen. Kieran would not allow it.

"Aye, lead on then." The lion shifts so as to walk at Rue’s side, ever his place in battle and otherwise. His shoulder bumps against her smaller one, in a moment of encouragement and affection - not something he would dare try if they were not alone, but he can allow it for just now. "Let’s see what these Aesseldar lions are worth."

Exit.
