The leopard paused from her hunting when she scented the blood in the air, her gut reaction one of dismay. It was almost instinct to react poorly after what had happened to her, the female instantly thinking that Angusho had returned and was going to finish her off. Or perhaps he had found some other poor smaller animal to attack for no reason. Whatever happened, in her mind it had to have been horrible.
Still, her legs pushed her forward, her desire to help over-powering her fear. It would take more than fear to send her running. Her will power was just too strong to be broken. Cracked, maybe, but never shattered.
Bringing herself to the source of the scent, she discovered her fear had been unwarranted- it hadn’t been some attack against another lion, rather a hunt. A rather successful looking one at that. She frowned, wondering if she may have just pushed herself into a bit of trouble.
“Um, sorry,” she said lowly, watching the lion carefully, “I didn’t mean to interrupt. I promise I’m not here to steal your food.”
