Maea
give me shelter, or show me heart
The shift was unexpected. There were enough lions in the jungle that stumbling upon a real one wasn't strange. With no connection to the Attuned to offer clues, it was entirely a surprise to see the lioness melt away and leave a woman's guise behind; still wild eyed enough to keep the Ancient on edge.
Cocking her horned head aside, Maea considered the offer. "It's generous of you... but I am content. I got what I came for." Holding up the Manta crystal between two fingers flecked with green blood, she tucked her prize securely away in an inside pocket.
"I'm Maea." Easing down on a rock, she tucked her long tail into the lap and carved off a slice of meat for herself and chewed with pretend casual ease. If this was turning into a conversation she might as well look to be comfortable - even if it wasn't strictly true.
