Lion eyed Cat Steven, unsure of what to make of this one-eyed cub.
It wasn't sharing his territory that concerned him. A simple roar could take him wherever he wanted, so his territory spanned most of Earth.
This young creature, though...she might be a nuisance. She might want him to play with her, and Lion did not play. He had better things to do, like napping, or helping Steven.
Cat Steven approached Lion, and without any fear of the bigger cat's huge paws and claws, began to lick his leg. Lion found it was a pleasant change to have someone else groom him for once.
Then, Cat Steven climbed over Lion, and nestled into his mane. It was a little uncomfortable to feel the small cat kneading his mane, but Lion was patient with her.
Finally, Cat Steven curled up in Lion's mane and went to sleep. Her purring soothed Lion enough that he felt sleepy too.
He also curled into a ball at the foot of Steven's bed, and decided that a new companion wouldn't be so bad.
