[ His ear swiveled as he picked up on the sound of stone grinding on stone in a steady rhythm, but in this stone forest, it was difficult to pinpoint the sound. He was so unused to how things echoed here, as opposed to the open lands of the savanna.
There wasn't much that lions had to fear, but that wasn't to say Mufasa didn't want to know what was approaching him before it saw him. At least that way he could assess the situation and determine his next move.
Unfortunately the geography of this place wouldn't allow for that; no matter how sharp his senses, he couldn't see around buildings, and hadn't gotten used to how much sound bounced around and muted itself in this place. So when this creature came around the corner and stood a mere few yards from a quarter ton of Aftican Lion, Mufasa was just as unawares as he. Albeit, he wasn't immediately afraid.
There was a brief stare-off.
Luckily, lions were ambush predators, and this creature locked eyes with Mufasa. Unfortunately, this creature was still isolated and quite vulnerable(assuming he could outrun a lion's sprint).
With a flick of the tip of his tail, Mufasa considered his options, and erred on the side of caution since this place reeked of scents very similar to this creature's. ]
I can be, yes. [ His stare was stern and solid, and he seemed in no particular hurry. ] Can you tell me why I smell smoke and flesh coming from this pillar?
Sorry for the delay, been working in the garden and on commissions
