'Dear Lions. Recently my tribe expressed interest in trying to start peace talks with you in an effort to try and move our relationship past killing us. We sent in representatives to talk to you, but we have had no contact with them since they left. If you wish to continue these peace talks, you will kindly give word that our representatives are still alive.' Zebra wrote.
2 days later.
Zebra got a letter from the lions containing photos of the zebras bones all laid out and a note saying 'Zebras still with us.'
Zebra heavily sighed. Back to the drawing board, again.
