Here Kitty Kitty

Fia was growing into her full height now though it may not have seemed so while she was still mostly legs and oddly proportioned. And she supposed with getting bigger and older she could give herself a little more freedom. Freedom. She's always had that or it felt that way to her. She was making more frequent trips over the land bridge to The Rock Garden. She felt like she was being sneaky or doing a bad thing, just a little bit at least. Even if she wasn't. It was a fun feeling, a little bit of thrill she supposed. Nothing crazy though... she wouldn't go find stranger over the borders of course. For now.

She was acting a little more pup like today, at least in the ways she had shown her whole life. She was pretty observant when it came to pretty much anything so today she was carefully bouncing across the rocks in The Rock Garden. Seeing how far she could make it from one to another. Her strides were longer, but she liked to challenge herself a little bit. Like thinking that sometime soon she'd be able to make it just that little bit further in the jump she couldn't quite make yet. A silly game, and silly to play by herself. But there weren't other kids her age so she had learned to keep to herself most of the time anyway.

She was completely in her own world before she noticed a lioness sprinting through The Rock Garden. She wasn't sure if someone was chasing it or it just made a run for the inside. She went on full alert which was a stance very unlike her but she wasn't quite sure how to react when she saw it. Should she run? Should she try to make it back to the island? Just try to hide behind one of the rocks? She didn't really want to act scared and she didn't feel that way but she knew she needed to use her brain here. She wasn't confident she could take it on her own. She finally took quiet steps forward, trying to sneak her way around the path it had just made through the garden and she made it a fair way through on the way to Alias before the cat caught onto her scent and she turned to realize it was coming for her. Again, she had to consider what to do but there wasn't much time to do so. Instead of running like a coward she'd started to face off with it. It would jump to make the first move, it wasn't hesitating in the slightest.
