Arkain stands there with a serious look on his face staring down at the cub. He crossing his arms and taps his fingers against his arms getting a bit impatient and irritated at the lack of response from  Aadair. He can see by by his ears lowered and the look in his face and eyes he was about to cry he was so frustrated. Seeing that sad pitiful look in his face was just about ripping his heart out but he had to be strong. Aadair had to learn you can't always couldn't get what he wanted just by being head strong. He sees him take a step away like he was going to leave. He just shakes his head and turns away not making any effort to stop him. A grin comes to his face when he doesn't hear you leave. He didn't think you would. Now what is he going to do. Guess try one more time and see what happens. He turns and looks back down. "Well.  So you are still here and you still refuse to ask for a drink of water. You are one foolishly stubborn lion. What am I going to do with you." He sighs lightly and looks less angry. He puts his hand against his cheek and rubs it gently. "I like you Aadair and how you stand up for yourself. I can tell your parents spent a lot of time telling you that a king doesn't have to ask permission. Well it doesn't always work that way. Being like that will just makes you a bully not a great leader. A sign of a great leader is knowing when to ask for help and I am offering you some help. If you remain stubborn and leave, you will die a terrible death out there. I would hate to see that happen to you. Ask and you get to drink and play in the water all you want. The choice is yours. What kind of leader are you going to be. A great leader or a dead stubborn one?" He puts his hand on his shoulder ready to either escort him out or congratulate him.
