Hachi had met a friendly lioness cub a weeks before and they’d promised to always be friends. It had been the young leopard’s first friend outside of his family and he was terribly excited when his mother had told them they were going to the same waterhole. It was a strange and exciting place where creatures of all kinds gathered to drink, giving each other wary looks but it was also a place where one could meet all sorts of interesting characters from different species.
As they arrived, Hachi immediately began to look for Crius, the little lioness he’d met before but he realized with visible disappointment that her family wasn’t there.
“Maybe she’ll be here later.” He thought aloud, letting out a long sigh.
