Your king, troubled by sore paw pads chooses to rest by a nearby tree. He grooms his feet before giving up, closing his eyes as the pain radiates from them. His patrols have taken him far and in doing so have done their damage on his body, he was so blinded by the pain he hadn't noticed the smell of an approaching lioness, however a forked flick on the nose grabs his attention, before the feeling of bound paws side tracks him and beside him lay a blind lioness. She was currently tying up his back left paw before speaking
Lioness: Don't be afraid, I'm simply trying to ease your pain dear king
Her ears twitch and her clouded eyes fluttered softly as she seemingly made eye contact with him, a soft smile on her face. She had soft Silky fur that looked almost like the night sky had lost all of its stars, however her fluffy underbelly was covered in white fur. Resembling the whispy thin clouds he had seen swirling around the moon at night many a time. As his eyes examined her, he couldn't help but noticed her mauled face and paws, but he knew better then to inquire
Lioness: Now, stay here. I'll fetch you some water, it's best you stay here tonight, I'll look after you while my husband is away...but do be gone by morning
With that she bows her head, getting to her feet cautiously, doing exactly as she said. However after dropping the water off she left, your king could feel her presence throughout the night, but his sharp nose couldn't catch her scent
