Jabez liked the freedom of being a healthy leopard in a pride full of sick lions. He was healthier and stronger than most of his peers, and more importantly, he could leave whenever he wished. As an apprentice he was supposed to learn a skill, but he found that no one questioned his trips to the rogue lands. He was "hunting" if anyone asked, or possibly "scouting" like his mom. Some days he returned with a kill, sometimes not. The important part was the freedom.
Auntie bird might have something to say about it, but he had developed a skill not to listen when she nagged. Some trips lasted more than a day, and if he kept it up his mother might try to have a talk with him too. Might just be easier to not return one day. Jabez hadn't really planned to leave, but he hadn't disregarded the idea either. It was a possibility. He was a leopard, and he could if he wanted to. But today he was just going to enjoy his freedom. He was quite far from the pride borders, looking for some kind of trouble to get into.

The young leopard had never been in a real fight, and never really been attacked. If you asked him he had plenty of fighting experience, but compared to what went down in the roguelands it was all cub play. He wasn't completely oblivious to his surroundings, however, and when a large dark something attacked him he tried his best to get out of the way.
He was sort of successful in getting out of the way, and the two animals didn't collide head on. Jabez stumbled to the ground, but scrambled to his feet as quickly as he could, facing the creature that had attacked him. He had expected it to be a grumpy rhino at the least and was surprised to see a lioness. Wow, she must be really confused if she tried to hunt a leopard. His fluffed up fur started to settle somewhat, but it was obvious that he had been startled.
"Did you think I was a wilderbeest or something," he asked, trying to sound confident but probably coming across as a bit shaky. He didn't think she had attacked him on purpose, so a mistake was the only possible explanation he could see.

Jabez wasn't sure how to read the lioness in front of him. He usually didn't bother worrying to much about how other's felt and why they acted like they did. In his pride, there hadn't been a need to think much about those things up to this point. But this lioness didn't act like the lions he was used to, and it made him feel uncertain. It wasn't a feeling he enjoyed at all, since he liked to think he was always on top of things. To hide his insecurity he did what he usually did and talked too much.
"Well," he said, "You should be more careful, you might end up giving someone the wrong impression and get yourself into a fight."
If he'd stopped to think and actually look at the dark lioness, he might have figured out that she was fit, strong and probably able to kick his a**. The situation was uncomfortable, but the leopard still had a false sense of security. He'd never lost a fight to a lion before, and he didn't really think anything bad could happen to him.

Ha! He certainly was a wriggly little thing, that was for certain. Koka licked her maw as she stood there watching the little leopard try to scamper off. Chuckling to herself she loped after him at first, watching with glee as he continued to run away from her, the whole while his fur had begun to show the small taint of red from her claws.
Not quite ready to give up her games yet, Koka changed pace. Her paws moved quickly over the earth as she picked up speed. Wanting him to see her coming, she circled around the little feline until she was coming at him head on. Curious to see what he'd do, she didn't change direction or slow her pace. She didn't even raise her paw as she grew near him. Would he freeze in fear and let her trample him or dodge? If he dodged, kudos to him. He'd survive this little test. If he let himself get trampled...well...it was likely he'd live, she wasn't that heavy of a lion, but he'd certainly be baring scars from it if he managed to survive this encounter. After all, Koka's claws were sharp dagger and with each step she took at this speed they dug hard into the ground.

Huh...he dodged most of the attack. Not bad for a runt. But...unfortunately for the little leopard, Koka was starting to grow bored.
The little leopard had done a wonderful job in keeping her entertained for a while. In fact, he kept her so entertained she had decided to let him live. Such a kind soul she was, this she knew. After all, what other lion would torment a cub so much only to let him live? No one of course. They'd have spilt his blood long ago and watched him bleed out to death, but not her, nope. She was a kind soul.
Of a demon.
Deciding that enough was enough, Koka figured it was only right that she leave the cub with some suitable souvenirs.
Koka turned quickly, barely giving the cub any time at all to react to her movements. She rushed him with a snarl and claws ready. She moved with the intent to injure him and was ready to change her direction should he attempt to dodge off again. As she drew near she put on a small burst of speed and swiped her paw towards his sides, looking to rend his flesh even more and add to the blood already soaking his pelt.
