Be Prepared [Cairo]

Dómari trotted along the gorgeous landscape. The rich stripes of orange and gold and red were stunning though it wasn't the sort of place he'd care to live in. The land was far to dry. He was out scouting with Cairo. His feelings regarding the upcoming raid were mixed but ultimately he was feeling more comfortable and excited with the idea of it. This one wouldn't be nearly the bloody nightmare the Talis raid had been.

His fur stood on end and he froze. Something seemed off. His nostrils flared as he caught the scent of lion. Surely, no predator would claim such a land? His question was answered immediately as a thin lion with a deep black mane rushed out at him. Dómari scrambled to the side, the lion's claws just scraping his right shoulder as he instinctively turned his head to snag it's right hind leg.
