Afon gets a liiiiittle too close to Sunset's muzzle for comfort, so he gives a warning snarl and she scurries away, no doubt to annoy another pride member.

Swimming was harder than it looks, or at least it was for Afon as she struggled to paddle her way to the river bank. While she panted a baby crocodile swam past her with ease. It looked back and had a triumph in their eyes.
"Yeah yeah, gloat all you want," Afon managed to puff out. The crocodile let out a chirp and swam faster. Afon groaned and started to swim faster.
Reaching the river bank she shook off the water that clung to her fur and with a groan flopped onto her side. "Can we not make bets like that again?" She asked as she saw the baby crock emerge from the river. It chirped again making it's way towards her. "What?! This wasn't my idea!"
The crock started to give a little laugh and Afon couldn't help but laugh along.
"Psst!"
Afon lifted her head, she looked around for the strange sound she just heard.
"Psst! Afon!"
She turned her head towards the trees. "Oh hey Aidai!" She grinned as she saw one of her pride members. Aidai slowly made her way out of the trees, looking around she made her way towards Afon. "Aidai? Is everything okay?" Afon asked as she saw the worried look on her friends face.
"Listen, what I'm about to tell you is top secret! No one else knows about this." Aidai sat close to Afon, making sure their voices could only be heard between them. "Oh yeah? And how would you know this 'secret'?" Afon said with sarcasm as she knew Aidai had a knack for collecting stories. Aidai glared at Afon, offended, "Well unlike you I have made real friends, you know real lions like Apollyon."
Afon rolled her eyes, "You know you shouldn't always trust lions like that. They like to scare mortal lions like ourselves just for fun." The baby crock stood in front of them and gave a chirp of agreement. But Aidai only shook her head, "This time it's different..." She had a look of worry in her eyes but then it suddenly vanished. "You know what, never mind." Aidai stood up, flicked her tail in the air and held her nose up, making her way back to the pride.
Afon called after her but was ignored, she looked back at her little companion, "So...first one to the other side of the river is a chicken!" She sprinted for the river, the baby crock quickly catching up.
