What did the bastard even want? A big, heavily maned male lion had been following Taiga for quite a while. Periodically he would release low calls in her direction, but the lioness ignored him completely and continued on. He followed her through two whole territories and the escort was getting pretty old. Day had turned to night for prides sake. Taiga was almost to the point of roughing him up, but she still hoped that he would eventually get the hint.

Coming upon a wide lake, Taiga stopped to take in the beauty of the place. Fireflies danced over the smooth waters, casting the liquid in a golden glow. She didn't think she'd ever seen so many fireflies in one place before. With a huff of fascination, the lioness moved to the edge of the water, using her claws to swipe away a swath of cattails so that she could crouch and drink. The water was nice and cool as it ran down her throat and the woman drank her fill.

From behind came that lowing call again, only this time it was much closer.. and different sounding. Had there always been two of them? Staring out over the plan surrounding the lake, Taiga's ruby eyes rested upon not one, but two male lions. Both of whom were stalking towards her, intent in their golden gazes. Great. These new world lions had a different thought process than old world lions like herself. What, did they think that they were going to claim her for their pride? Ha!

Taiga, her back to the lake, lowered her head between her shoulder and growled low as the males drew in close. They returned the favor, their noses scrunching as they bared their teeth. One got a little too close and Taiga swiped out at it, claws raking through one thick, dark make, but missing flesh completely. The male lashed out at her in turn and Taiga found her hind paws in the lake. Well... she hadn't thought that part through, had she?

"Speech"
Taiga is a Panthera Spelaea- a Cave Lion.

She stands 63" at the shoulder and weighs a whopping 700 lbs.
