[PRP] Don't fear! Imrahil's Here! (Imrahil x Minoes)

[II Paradox II]

A long, heavy sigh escaped from her vocals as she plopped herself down beside the river’s bank. It was much shallower than she had remembered, but it had been a while since she last visited this place. She tended not to venture close to the borders of the rogue lands because she was fearful of other rogue inhabitants and wandering prides. She found it surprising that no one else was resting near the river. Water sources like this river were usually rare to come across. Or at least, that’s what she thought.

Minoes groaned as she could feel her stomach grumbling. It had been a while since she last ate—a day, or two she speculated as she couldn’t quite remember. She had been lucky enough to make a successful hunt, but wouldn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the meal because a much larger lion had taken claim of it. Minoes, at the time was too exhausted to defend herself let alone the meal. So, she gave up and ran away—per usual, like a coward.

She whimpered softly to herself as she looked down at her reflection. Her eyebrows furrowed as she looked to her pathetic self. Dried mud, loose twigs, and leaves had managed to take a hold of Minoes’s scruffy mane. “Do I always look like this?” she whispered as she lowered her head towards the water’s surface. She never took the time to look at herself until now and was highly disappointed at herself.

Minoes shook her head and a couple loose debris fell from her mane and into the river. She gasped, noticing something silver in the corner of her eye that moved quickly within the water. “Fish!” she nearly shouted out. Maybe, just maybe her luck was changing. Her stomach grumbled again and she winced. Just the thought of trying to catch a fish was making her even more exhausted. “Just one…” she stretched out her limbs.

Her eyes had closed for a moment. She was so tired, but then something danced with the cool breeze. Minoes opened her eyes and managed to get herself steady on her feet. It seemed like she would be having some company. Minoes didn’t like the idea of another rogue coming to take claim of the river. Or maybe they were coming for a fight? She pulled her ears back and her tail fell between her two hind legs. She looked around for any place to hide, but the grass here wasn’t as tall and there were a few trees…

The young lioness headed towards one of the trees that grew close to the river. It wasn’t much of a hiding spot as it was too skinny. She lowered herself to the earth and kept her eyes towards the river. Maybe whoever it was that was approaching hadn’t yet taken notice of her and would soon leave. Hopefully, she thought to herself with fear and worry.

Minoes peeked her head out from behind the skinny tree she failed at hiding behind. She stared at the unfamiliar male with ears pulled back and leg muscles tightened as she was ready to run away at any given moment. Minoes had learned where her place was in the food chain. She lacked the necessary skills of hunting and defending herself, so fleeing was always the top option. “H-How do I know I can trust you?” she squeaked shyly as she stepped out a bit from behind the tree. “Who are you? Are there any others?” her ears perked forwards as she quickly looked around. Could there be an ambush waiting to happen? Her body sunk back down closer to the ground and hide her face behind the thick patch ‘o hair upon her head. Just the thought of other lions and lionesses leaping out to get her sent chills throughout her limbs. Her eyes darted around them trying to find the perfect place to flee to, but she was sure that he could most-likely outrun her.
