[His answer is sufficient enough for her, though concern remains etched in her brow. He seems well-situated once on the Lion, but even still Allura mounts the Lion soon after, sitting right behind Connor, wrapping her arms about his waist for added security.

She's not taking any chances. Though perhaps being in such close proximity to an android is not the best idea considering the toll this lightning storm seems to take. But right now, her armour is still functioning, and the further away from the storm back to the underground, the safer they'll be.

The Lion has remained stoic, unmoving and only offering a low, rumbling growl of acknowledgement, until Allura is properly on, and then it rises, beginning to break out into a run without any audible command. It's strides are long, the movement smooth against the terrain.

Allura's quiet for a tick, but not because she didn't hear Connor's question.]

In a way, I suppose it is...a part of me? [She sounds uncertain, wrapping her arms a bit more firm around Connor as the Lion banks to the right through the abandoned streets.] I...am still uncertain of this ability, and whether I should even call this Lion mine.

Where I am from, it is a guardian of my people.
