Cinna

When Minnaar first met her she was rather aloof. However, it quickly became clear her distance was used to observe. She had a critical eye, and very many walls. She had been charmed by him on their first meeting, but followed him from a distance to the pride. Even now he almost has to chase her to show affection. Sometimes, Cinna will look over at him and see an expression of mixed uncertainty on his face. She knows he doesn't comprehend the distance between them... the walls she's lifted in their den. She will tentatively nuzzle him, and let him groom her. Suddenly, for a time, Minnaar will lose that uncertain and strained expression.
When she met with Damez-Gray that fateful night, she didn't seek a relationship like she had with Minnaar. He was interesting, unique. She wanted to analyze him, not live with him... not be protected by him. Then sometime later Motley was born. Cinna was worried Minnaar would not accept her, but he did with a warm rumble. He quickly adopted her as her own, and Cinna fell in love.

You went up to Cinna to ask how hunting practice went today. She instead told you all about a cool bird she saw on the way. You guess she doesn't really want to talk about it. Ah well.
