That's a whole heckin lion

He wiggled a little to try and look up at the wolf that held him, trying to gauge her thoughts on his words. He sighed sadly when she put him back on the sand and moved a few paces off. Aw man, he had offended cat-tree.

She moved deeper into the water, and he knew she had effectively gotten away from him. His swimming was so sub-par she could laugh at his flailing around and shoot off easily. Heck, she could walk off easily well he was ‘swimming’

Instead, the kind, sweet, cat-tree moved her head towards him and invited him to hop on. “Oh gee whizz, really?” he said, immediately bouncing to his full, impressive height and giving her a broad, happy grin.

His paws where tiny so jumping from the ground wasn’t easy, he backed up a little to give himself a running start, and bounced a couple steps across the sand before jumping, and landing on her head. He almost slipped right off her head was wet after all, but he managed to get a paw around her neck and hauled himself on.

He let himself slid down her neck and land on her back, and look at the water on each side. He balanced himself well, walking across her back like it was flat solid ground. “Just like home” he said happily, as he gave his living tree-branch a pat. “I’m Ramesh, but you can call me Ra” he said, before dipping his head under the water in an attempt to snag a fish. He came back out again, spitting out salt water and shaking his head. Who signed him up for fishing again?
