[Eugh. I'm sorry about the incredibly late post. I could have sworn I replied to this... but nope.]
A few hours of nonstop walking passed, and finally Karama curtly called for them to halt. They had stopped by a relatively shady area, as she had noticed some of the lionesses' exhausted paces. Immediately Karama settled down to sleep, and although it wasn't evident in her currently stern attitude, the fact that she almost never acted this strict and seldom scowled this much clearly meant she was distraught over the death of her mate and needed some time to grieve.
Yegath settled down and gently helped Muroki on the grass, hoping he didn't think that she was coddling him... As she lay her chin down on her paws, she supposed in the morning, she and perhaps a few other lionesses could go search for prey. The pride hadn't eaten since the fire, after all.
