Memka sped up her pace once they came across the cave. She was really eager to be back at the specific area, for it had been a month or so at the least since they were last there.
Ganiru, on the other hand, was genuinely surprised. The other other cave he's seen in his lifetime was back at the Snowtipped Pride's territory. His last king and queen had slept out in the open, along with the rest of the pride. Perhaps that was another reason why they were attacked, knowing that the entire pride was gathered out in the open, showing how small and vulnerable they were. Caves helped more often, since they could claim they had more pridemembers in there, whether or not it was true.
