Cold Air is laying on a rock heated by the sun, bored. The broodmother watches the cubs and adolescents happily play. The lioness suddenly feels someone lay next to her, pressing their flank against her. It was Fish. She smiles, happy to have her lover be near her. The Tigon lays his head down, letting out a heavy sigh.
Cold Air speaks up, worried. ''What's up, Fish? Anything happened?..''
''Nothin', my love. There's just nothing to do. Kinda hungry, but the Queen demands us to keep the food for the young.'' Fish replies.
''..Avalanche and her huntresses didn't find prey? Is food becoming this scarce?..'' She says, looking down at the other, a frown appearing on her face. ''We're gonna lose some children.. Look at them, they are starting to be thin.'' Cold Air points out, her ears flattened.
The Tigon lets out a wince, upset and aware of the tough situation. ''Queen Kasha is seeking for a new place for us all to go to. And yes, the girls found prey, but not enough for everybody..'' He trails off, adding with a quiet tone. ''I know.. I know, Air.''
