Personality in Action
Nate knelt down, a small lion cub nestled in his arms. His massive hands dwarfed the tiny creature, yet his touch was impossibly gentle.
"Easy there, little one," he said softly, voice rumbling like distant thunder. "You're safe now."
Around him, his children watched with wide eyes — their father, strong enough to carry an ox, yet tender enough to soothe the smallest heartbeat.
