 Erimentha stalked quietly behind a large water buffalo, making sure that each step was taken carefully so that it would not get scared and run. He was strong and would be a challenge for her due to his shear size and strength. But that was what had drawn her to him. She was up for the challenge today as she had nothing else to do. Not many animals needed to be saved lately, with the exception of this water buffalo. But then again, could it be considered a 'damsel in distress'? She mentally shook her head. I need to eat... Sadly, I have to kill to eat. Erimentha thought to herself.
She grinned for a moment as she lept out after the male water buffalo, making sure that she tore deep into the back of his neck so that he would simply bleed to death within a few moments. No need for it to suffer more then what was necessary right? Erimentha chased after the animal for several minutes, making sure it's heart rate went up enough so that all of the blood would come out of the gaping hole faster. And after a few minutes it finally fell to it's death. After she was sure it was no longer alive Erimentha began to dig into it's flesh.

 From the far side of the water buffalo, a hulking green shape came into view. He had met very few lions bigger than him, in his life journeying across the plains.
Now he didn't know for sure where he was headed, he didn't know where he was, and he wasn't sure if he had stopped coughing blood yet. But he did know he was hungry, and he couldn't hunt himself. So he would have to rely on the kindness of strangers.
"Hello," he said, wincing at the grating sound of his voice and the pain in his throat. "I don't suppose you could spare a morsel from your buffalo for a traveller, could you?"

As the large green and white lion asked if Erimentha would be willing to share she let out a loud growl, however, it was not because she was unwilling to share but because he had appeared out of nowhere and scared her. After Erimentha was done chewing the piece of meat that was in her mouth she looked up at the male and smiled. "I am so sorry that I growled at you. You scared me have to death." She laughed lightly. Then she looked down at the hunk of dead flesh that was stren beneath her. "I would love to share with you." She said, standing up and moving back enough so that both of them could eat from the large buffalo. As she watched the male, she noticed he had something wrong with him. "What happened to you?" Erimentha asked curiously as she noticed that the male was most likely injured. Her head began to whirl with questions of why the male was injured. Was it because he was fighting over territory? Was he kicked out of a pride? Erimentha couldn't decide on the answer by herself.

Ishekhesi stood back and waited for the yellow lioness to calm down.
"I'm sorry that I scared you."
As Ishekhesi moved in, he moved slowly, walking carefully on his sore muscles. He no doubt gave the yellow lioness a good view of his front, where his mane was ripped away in tangles, and his throat was covered with a webbing of woven grasses. They looked kind of crusty, and his mane seemed like it was growing back in around it.
"I was in a fight. I lost, rather badly. And the lion I lost to wanted to make sure I remembered him for the rest of my life."

Erimentha nodded lightly as she listened to the green lion talk about how he had indeed gotten into a fight with another male. Of course she could not help but be curious as to why they had faught to begin with, however, she was not sure if she should ask. "I am so very sorry you had to get into a fight." Erimetha said with a kind look in her eyes. She quickly looked over his wounds once more in wonderment. "You are in no shape to hunt for yourself." She said returning her gaze to his once more. "I am Erimentha, and I would love to help you." She said smiling lightly to show that she meant him no harm.

"It was my own fault. I picked the fight, and I was a fool. A proud braggart who didn't know what he was up against. But thank you, for sharing. You're right, I can't hunt, and won't be able to for a while. Not until my body heals. It is very kind of you. My name is Ishekhesi."
It was the longest speech Ishekhesi had made in some time, and it tired him. He moved to stand beside the corpse of the water buffalo, but didn't start eating. It was as if the amount of meat in front of him, or maybe the kindness of the lioness, were too much for him.
