Maybe
Leona runs his fingers through his hair, stress and panic in his veins. "Where is that brat?" He growls, asking to himself where in the world did Cheka ran off to.
"Oji-tan!" The lion turns his head around, hidden relief in his yes. However, he wasn't expecting the sight in front of him.
Ace is holding an overly enthusiastic cub in her arms. "Cheka, calm down." She scolds, struggling to carry the heir. Her gaze locks on Leona and she gulps. He doesn't fail to make her feel a little bit on edge everytime.
"Where did you find him?" Leona asks as he watches her put down Cheka, who immediately went over to him. Ace shrugs, trying to stay normal, "He was near the Heartslabyul Dorm."
Leona hums at the answer, his eyes staring deeply into Ace. "Name?" The question made the girl blink in confusion before realising he's asking for her name.
She smiles, "Ace. The name is Ace senpai."
"Ace..." Leona tests the name on his tongue before nodding. "Thanks for finding this brat." He turns around, ready to return to his dorm. "Cheka, come on."
"Bye-bye Onee-chan!" Cheka waves which Ace returns, watching the two lions enter the mirror.
"Oji-tan! Oji-tan!" Cheka chimes as he catches up to his uncle. "That Onee-chan was so nice! She gave me candy and when I was crying she showed me some magic tricks! She's so nice! And pretty! Right, Oji-tan? Hey~ Oji-tan?"
Leona nods at the words spiraling out of Cheka's mouth. His mind distracted with the thoughts of the young lady. "Maybe." He replies at the question.
He tunes out the tantrum of his nephew at his answer, preferring to remember the certain scent and smile of the lady.
"Ace..." The name rolls perfectly on his tongue.
