Cullen is growing out his hair to become more lion-y

I like your theory, Lola. I wonder if lion cosplay was Cassandra's idea.
Cullen: Can I keep my old armor?
Cass: No, we will mistake you for the enemy.
Cullen: Can I have a surcoat like yours?
Cass: It doesn't come in your size.
Cullen: *sad puppy face*
Cass: I have someone here who can help.
Master Wade: SWEET DEAR MAKER!!! LOOK AT THIS!!! Glorious! I can see it already, yes! A lion! You are a lion, a brave lion. I will start working immediately! It will be my finest creation! *tears up a bit*
Cullen: Is he ok?
Cass: *shrugs* A true artist. Passionate nature. Etc, etc.
