A Calling

Taiga did, in fact, stay nearby. The glowing stones had been where she and Aylin met and they would be where the duo would meet again. The lioness hadn't quite wanted to let Raumr out of her sight just yet, being drawn to him as she was. It had been a long time since she'd come across another cat remotely as large as herself, and a male to boot. Perhaps it was something in her DNA, but the pull of a lioness to a lion was a strong tether indeed.

The black and white giant followed behind Raumr with long, quiet strides, amazing for something of her size. Taiga's paws were massive, soft snowshoes that muffled each step. It was amusing to see the lion glance back at her to make sure that she was still there.

Raumr's voice spoke into the mist as they made their way back towards the standing stones after their little run. Rounded ears shifted and the cave lioness moved forward to stand beside the maned man. Ruby eyes landed upon the slender grey feline and a rumble of interest reverberated through Taiga's wide, snow colored chest. Two big cats in one day? What were the odds?
