No Place Like Home

Hyder almost did not hear the tiny creature when it called out. Looking down, the titanic feline needed a long moment before he could pick out the scrap of his distant cousin among the grasses. The lion could not contain a scoff, eyes narrowing in amusement. This little one had nerves of steel. "Lions are dangerous, little one," he said in a low, rumbling bass. Again his absent tail swished through the grasses. He stopped his mindless trek so that he could turn his head and get a better look at her. She was small and black with mismatched eyes, but he had seen many other felines and it was not difficult to recognize her as a distant relative, despite never seeing one quite so small before.

He swept out a massive paw, flattening a tuft of grass that stood between them, pressing his weight down upon it so that it would not rise again. "There," he said. "That's a bit better. What are you doing out at sea, little one?" He asked with a dry chuckle. Certainly she was in over her head... literally. Then again, he'd heard the scurrying of more mice than he could count, feverishly digging for buried seeds among the thatch. It was probably a feast to one so small and nimble. He had no patience for hooking such tiny morsels, so the more the merrier for her. Surely in any of case this trek could only be folly for her.
