rain dance

[Mireya]

As the cold winds blew through Solui the spotted lioness retreated further into the protective warmth of her rainforest home. Its humid misty air provided a nice thick barrier against the winter chills. She stalked through the undergrowth admiring the den she had found herself. It was a small half sunken log covered with moss and leaves growing up and over it. It was just big enough for the small lioness squeeze in length wise and shelter from the frequent rain storms. Which, speak of the devil. A big fat droplet of water splashed her right between the ears and rolled down the bridge of her nose. Mireya gave her head a vigorous shake and peered up at the sky to see the grey clouds forming. 

She loved to watch the rain and didn't mind getting wet. Getting thoroughly soaked through was expected when you lived in such a humid area, but she preferred to stay dry if she could.

The promise of rain did not come as surprise- the air had felt like it was brewing something special up for ages. Temperature had cooled and simultaneously the forest had fallen unearthly still and quiet; and then raindrops began to fall across her brow and run down her pelt towards the ground. It brought a slight frown to her face- gilded and black void eyes were both turned upwards towards the sky and the roaming clouds overhead. Where once there was brightness of sunlight there was now just grey fuzz, leaving her black eye nearly sightless for now. Myra was not particularly looking forwards to getting soaked...

She exhaled once and her paws began to move with renewed strength below her- vision tuning into each potential crevice and alcove for someplace resembling shelter that would keep her from getting drenched to the absolute bone. "I can hear mother now... 'You'll get a cold out in the rain like this...'" She muttered to herself in a disappointed and simultaneously mocking tone. Memories of her mother brought right up to the forefront of her mind while she ventured around the unfamiliar rainforest searching for cover.

Where there was one big fat droplet several more splashed the spotted cat as the rain began to fall heavily. The grey clouds swirled together in a mass of angry storm clouds. It wouldn't be long now before the whole rainforest became thoroughly sodden. Mireya took shelter beneath one of the great elder trees of the forest, judging by how tall it was she guessed it was one of the oldest flora perhaps even ancient. She was alerted to the approached of another by the rustling and crackling of the undergrowth and forest floor debris. A voice uttered as if in conversation with another being words that sounded self deprecating . 

Mireya saw the brown and slightly brindled figure moving with a determined purpose as one did when trying to seek shelter from the elements. The lioness was larger than she, but having met several outsiders since her separation from her very seclusive tribe she had learned that outsiders were not her enemies."Hello," she chuffed in welcome to the woman, hoping her voice would guide her to the security of the tree Mireya was sheltered beneath.
