Andromeda campfire, Monday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina hadn't really had the concept of summer that most people had. There hadn't ever been a break from school for her, and half the time she'd be on a different planet that wouldn't even have proper summer weather. But not having classes till later in the week certainly helped with the summer feel, so that was why Jaina was starting a campfire, and wondering if she should have gotten marshmallows or something first. Oops.


[Open! It's my day off, I am enjoying it, dammit.]

"W-what's a nanny?" Hinata asked.

"Um," said Lion-o, "Snarf makes sure I eat my vegetables, wakes me up in the morning and makes sure I go to bed on time, and he yells at me whenever I get in trouble."

"So Snarf is y-your parent?" she asked, looking confused. "O-or a servant?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"I guess he's a servant, since he serves my father," said Lion-o. "But everyone serves my father. He's the Lord of the Thundercats."

"He's the c-clan head?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Even better," said Lion-o excitedly. "He's the head of all the clans!"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

That got a frown. "He's related to all of the clans?"

Because, she didn't know another way...

"Or is he... l-like... your Hokage?"

"He's not related to the pumas or the jaguars or any of them," said Lion-o. "But the head of the lion clan is always the Lord of the Thundercats. It's always been that way. What's a hokage?"

"W-what would happen if one of the others w-were better suited?" she asked, pressing her fingers together. "Hokage-sama is our leader, who w-was chosen of all the ninja to lead us."

"I see," said Lion-o. "That kind of sounds like Jaga. He's the best warrior among the Thundercats, and after my father was attacked and lost his sight, he started sharing power with Jaga. They rule together."

"A-are things better now? W-with more than one person ruling?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"It's a lot easier on my father," said Lion-o. "He oversees the ruling council while Jaga leads the warriors."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I-In my world, then, your Jaga w-would be the equivalent of our Hokage."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Jaga is the one who convinced my father to send me here," said Lion-o.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I-I'm sure he felt it was a good thing then," Hinata said with quiet conviction. "Leader's like that are usually wise."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"And there's no one wiser than Jaga, not even Father!" added Lion-o. He was proud of Jaga, who was like a member of the family even if he wasn't a lion.
