Morwen wasn’t hungry. She didn’t need to eat, and she didn’t have anyone she was going to give a needed meal to, either. But that didn’t mean she didn’t have to hunt. She enjoyed practicing, and making sure she stayed on the top of her game. It was starting to feel like the vultures naturally followed her around, just because they got good food whenever she decided to take something down and then leave it behind her, untouched. For her, killing wasn’t just about need.
It was fun.
Quickly, she sprang from some tall grass, launching at a small antelope that had wandered too far from his family. It was easy for her to land on top of the young animal, jaws clasping tightly around his neck. She heard it gag, the corners of her mouths peaking up as she decided to let it go. The wounded, struggling animal got to its feet, trying desperately to get away. But Morwen didn’t allow it, knocking it over whenever it got a bit too far. It was fun watching its body give out from under it, the blood loss slowly killing it while it continued to struggle uselessly for life.
Soon, though, the fun ended, and the animal stopped moving altogether. Silently, she turned, leaving the kill behind her as she started to walk once more. It never last long enough.

The wind carried the scent of blood to the lion, and Phlegyas turned his head to breathe it in deeply. It was far away, granted, but of all the possible reasons he could be smelling it, the most likely (and the one that gave him most cause for concern) was that something was hunting. It wasn't pride lands, so it wouldn't be his place or his duty to find the hunter and chase them off prey that rightfully belonged to the Aikanaro'hini, but it was hard to ignore.
The lion changed his course to head towards the blood. Even if he didn't find the killer (if there was one), he'd at least get a free meal out of it with zero effort. As he walked, his mind began to focus on the thought of eating, it only now occured to him that it had been some time since he'd last hunted himself. His stomach rumbled and he quickened his pace.

"You're right," Morwen said easily enough, shrugging her powerful shoulders, "I don't care about your pride or what troubles it may be having. You, however, I find quite interesting." She smiled at that, though it was a wicked kind of smile that suggested she might go for his neck at any moment.
"I would have you come with me," she told him, getting to her feet and moving past him, her tail brushing against his body as she wandered by, "I think we could be useful to one another, at least for the night. Unless you have someone to get home to your pride to."
She looked over her shoulder at him after moving a few steps, still smiling. Now, though, the smile was a little more mischievous.

He raised an eyebrow. So he had impressed her. Well that had worked out well for both of them, he mused. Of course, this could be a trap, but the large, purple male wasn't so worried about his own safety. He'd been taking care of himself for most of his life. What was one more night?
He liked that sinister grin, and gave her one in return, his red eyes glinting in the dim light. He had a slave he'd taken as a sort of mate, but he didn't owe her returning every night. He followed after the lioness, realizing he didn't even know her name. He didn't pause, however. Didn't strike him as important. There was something much more important on his mind.
"After you, my dear."
