Taken away from the only home she had ever known, from the care of lionesses she'd known her whole life...needless to say it had been rough adjusting. She had reluctantly left with the stranger, not knowing what would become of her. Would he really follow through with his promise to care for her? Or would he be just like the lion who sired her, the lion who, at least in a biological sense, was her father?

But she followed him anyways. After all, she had no choice. She arrived at the heart of his territory and was immediately brought to a pile of fresh prey. Her eyes gree wide at all the plenty. Back where she came from, full bellies were a mere myth. There was hardly enough to go around to feed her and her siblings.

"You must be hungry from the journey. I know it's not much," Thunder Mane said modestly. "We usually have more, but everyone's just eaten. I hope there's enough for you."

She stammered out a quick thanks before going to town, wolfing down the meat until she felt queazy. She slowed down and found that the food tasted better that way. Painstakingly slow bite after bite, she filled her belly with the fresh kill. Licking her chops with a comfortable fullness in her belly, she decided that she was going to like it here.
