Headed for a New Land

Romulus dismissed her comment humbly as she began to pick and store her last species to be acquired. Everything else was ready to go home. In addition to her herbs she had a new friend to bring home with her the most unexpected part of her trip. The most pleasant as well. He was so helpful, and best of all he didn’t look at her like she was going to fall over in front of him at any moment. Yeah she was embarrassed about how winded she had been but if that was all he had to see of her illness she would have been counted lucky.

She was very nearly done gathering, consumed by her task, when she heard Roman sound the alarm. Wide garnet gaze looked up to try and find the danger to her. She didn’t even hear the cta growl, but it didn’t matter. Suddenly Romulus was before her, putting himself between her smaller frame and the massive cat. Or massive compared to her. Her jaw had fallen to the ground, but she was still trying to stuff the yarrow in her bag when Romulus tossed the cat like it weighed nothing.

He was protecting her, putting himself in danger without question to keep her safe. Lillith didn’t even have time to dwell on the thought, no matter how much she wanted to, they had problems. She finally pulled her attention from the bag as Romulus suggested she hurry and come to his aide. Lilith securned her bag and leapt to his side, standing as tall she she could but not really measuring up to his stature. Still, one and a half wolves was enough to intimidate the young saber cat before them.
