Kimia shifted as her paws hit the earth, rythm flowing from her body into it. Th-thump tha-thu-ump. Over and over as she skittered through the grass, pink eyes glued to the rabbit in the air. It was swaying gently, still alive. She'd been watching these traps all morning. This traps were most certainly a gift from the gods!
Around a week ago she'd found them, almost got caught in one actually! But luck had been on her side and the trap had missed her, the small rabbit she'd been chasing after had hit a trap not twenty feet ahead of her! Some how it stepped in a certain place and the odd 'vines' snapped up, suspending the animal in the air. Well, that was how she learned the easy meal.
Three days ago she'd learned they were a two-leggers' contraption, not a god's. They had come to check out the traps, it had been around the same time she was near by. She had to hide, oh how they had made her heart race! They were off soon enough after finding nothing, indeed the traps had caught nothing that day.
But today! Today there were at least three rabbits hanging! Spring was thick in the air and the change of the season had animals out playing! Her paws picked up speed, it was hard to snatch down the easy prize. Th-th-thump, th-th-thump! With a tightening of muscles she launched herself into the air, against a tree, and sort of twisted. Her teeth snapped down and she just barely missed. THUMP! Her body landed hard on the ground and a cloud of dust stirred.
She began to cough and stand, shaking off. A few bruises were worth her trouble. "I'll get you yet.." She said, a slight playful tone in her voice.

He wasn’t crazy- he was mad. He didn’t see anything wrong with being mad, he had every right to be... or at least that’s what he told himself always. He was headstrong... well; he was self centered and careless. He just didn’t care, not at all- not about anything. He stopped caring a long time ago. He was so young then and to this day he would never forget or live it down. He just couldn’t... his damn sister-- damn her.
He was so lost within his own thoughts though that he didn’t see the lioness before him. He had settled himself back in the southlands, trying to stay as far away from others as possible. It took him a good ten minutes before he finally lifted his gaze from his paws to her.
At first he didn’t recognize her... at first he didn’t know who she was but slowly as his memory started to kick in and a sick smirk drew across his face. He knew her... maybe not the grown-up her, but he knew who she was. That tiny pest if a cub that he had run into not too long ago, she was grown now but he knew it was her, it was the same scent as before. He chuckled softly to himself for a moment as he gazed at her dully, eyeing her every movement.
She still couldn’t hunt. What a pity.

But she was a crafty little thing and it didn't seem to phase her that this wasn't 'real hunting'. It was hunting enough, at least to her. She had stood and backed away, then ran at the tree and did her twisting again. This time her jaws closed true around the rabbit and there was a loud snap of the rope that had caught the rabbit.
She landed on her feet this time and dropped the rabbit to her feet, chest heaving in and out as her breaths came quickly. It took her a moment to calm down, but once she was calm she began eating.
She hadn't noticed the god at all yet!

“I know you.”
The young god stated softly with a cocked grin as his eyes settled upon the young lioness before him. He was so intrigued by her actions, she was clever but wouldn’t be able to live the rest of the life that way, and human traps wouldn’t always be there for her when it came to food... but for now she seemed to have it down, well... she was eating this time.
The last time he saw her she was but a skinny thing crying her heart out, looking for attention from a mother that couldn’t give her any. A soft smirk crossed his jaws again as he moved himself upward so that he could stand before her. They were about the same size now, body wise… so he didn’t seem as freighting as before.
With a soft tone he spoke out, questioning her softly.
”Remember me?”

Her body tensed as she heard the other's words, reacting by instinct her teeth began to show, a snarl growing in her throat. Whoever it was could not have her food! Her head snapped up and the ugly look fell right off of her face perhaps even before her eyes registered the god. The smell had finally penetrated her brain. "Oh." She peeped out, eyes wide as she stared.
What was he doing here? "Oh... mm.." She nodded once and frowned slightly, shyly. She thought it was a little strange to run into the same lion more than once, unless living in the same pride or traveling with them. Neither held true for this circumstance.
"Yes... the man who would have me give up my mother for a quick meal." She said slowly, but the slight twitch of her lips hinted that she was amused, not angry or carrying a grudge. She knew now what she did not know before, about her mother and how she'd gone into a different type of sleep, one that Kimia had not experienced and hopefully would not for a long time. "What are you doing in this area?" She said slowly, soft pink eyes floating over his horn and then his mane, moving toward his face.
It was a pity he made her feel so nervous, though she was not so sure why. Little did she know that he was a god, and that was probably the case. She wasn't completely stupid, she knew something was weird about him, mostly from the horn. But how does one spot a god when they've never met one before?
She left the rabbit for a moment, she felt odd eating in front of others.
