[His grey eyes snap to hers when she says his name. He knew he couldn't hide anything from her. They've been through enough she can tell when he isn't saying everything. That and his subtle hint gave him away.

He sighs, reaching out to lightly touch her shoulder.]

Yes, and no. Back home...things happened to make it a complicated situation. [They've dealt with magic here. He shapeshifts and suddenly being the Lion feels like too glaringly a hint to his future, now, past. He looks away and sighs again, putting his other hand on her other shoulder. He looks worn out. Given what he has to say, it will make sense why.]

I'm not sure how to explain this..there's no gentle way to put it. I'm sorry. I guess the simplest way is I died and the Lion took issue with that. I'm in my own clone's body after he tried to kill my team and Keith bested him. ...Keith did it to try to save me, believing he was me and now...

That clone and I are sort of one person now I have all his memories and knowledge alongside my own. ...if it makes no sense to you. That's okay. It's a lot for all of us too.
