Welcome to Gaia! ::

A group of raucous birds had forced Moeras to abandon the tree she had been sleeping within. She was not happy about having to leave behind her tree. It had been one of the more comfortable ones she had slept in, and still had a bit of remains in it’s branches from a previous kill, however with her stomach giving no gripe she was more focused on continuing her nap than the potentially wasted meal. She could always catch another, but not if she wasn’t well rested! So she left the tree and the annoying birds behind in search of somewhere quieter, ears flattened against her head in annoyance at the whole situation. She had been having a nice dream too where she was sleeping on some soft mosses on a fallen tree. It had been quite a nice dream, one she would have liked to continue.

Moeras slunk along, her tail dragging over the ground. it was far too warm out for her to be up and around. Perfect napping weather, but unfortunately she had to find a place to continue her nap now. Ahead she spotted a prospective tree. It seemed to have plenty of shade-giving foliage on it, and at least a few branches she could lay on. Her pace quickened slightly, eager as she was to continue her nap. However as she neared she smelled lions, and they had been here a while by how strong it was. Mild curiosity caught the leopardess as she came closer to the tree, climbing quickly up and on to one of it’s thicker branches.

Lions indeed. In fact right below her was a large male gnawing on the remains of some unfortunate beast not quick or smart enough. A couple females lay not far off either. Moeras draped herself over the branch, despite the potential danger the lions posed. She was high enough out of their reach anyways, though the smell of meat caused her stomach to growl. “Must be nice having a couple lionesses to catch your meals for you.” Moeras stared down at him, brows raised as she eyed the meat resting on his leg.

Moeras looked away, her voice rather nonchalant as she stretched out further on the branch. “Yes. Not a bad idea having others do all the work. Certainly makes it easier to nap through the day.” Her gaze shifted back down to the meat. “Maybe I should find someone willing to do my hunting for me. Quite a preferable solution to having to do it myself.” She mulled over in her head some way to get the meat from him. She could perhaps try some sort of distraction, she had heard male lions weren’t usually fond of other males on their land. Perhaps she could say she saw a young male around. Might be enough to get him away from the meat.

Moeras raised her case upwards in to the foliage in thought. It was quite a tempting offer, and really she already had her decision ready, however she was going to at least pretend she wanted to think about it. “Quite a tempting offer you have put forth.” She purred, tail swishing off the side of the branch. She waited a few moments longer before looking down at him. “Alright then. I think I shall take you up on that offer.” Moeras could stand the company if it meant she wouldn’t have to hunt for her own food.

Moeras looked over towards the tree, under which the two females were laying. She said nothing as he continued to speak, brow quirking at the mention of a payment to be discussed at a later time. Of course there was a catch to this offer, though on she was not going to know going in to this deal. Was it worth it? Being able to lay around more as her meals were brought to her, by a pair of lionesses no less. The very thought brought a smile to her face. Yes. For now she would stay. With that she pushed herself up and descended the tree, slowly following after the large male lion.
