Lunik was starting to get anxious- more so than on any usual night. The sun was fading away, leaving red and purple streaks on the vast, open sky. He was so nervous on this evening, because it was nearly a new moon- the kind of night that he was born on, leaving him unprotected by the moon good. His ears were flat against his head and fear all over his face. If only he could find another pride member! One with protection to spare on such a frightening night like this. On any other night, he was usually just apt to hole up in his den very early in the evening and not come out until the sun was high in the sky.
He was growing all the more frantic when he spotted another pride member, a lioness, it looked like. He tried to reign in his relief and excitement while he made his way over to her, making himself stand up a little bit straighter- he didn't want to look
too desperate.
"H-Hello there! How're you this evening?"
That's right, strike up a conversation and stick close 'till sunrise. Hopefully she wouldn't find that too weird.
