like thunder gonna shake the ground
Loren chuffed out some air at Oliver's questions. Nahhhhhhh. Unicorns can't grow things. Clawing a bit more bark off the offending tree, the healer added, They heal things or go 'wheeeee zoommmmm.'
As the blacksmith pleaded with the lion to leave and the other man shifted back to human, the Firebrand poked his head around the trunk. What he saw there caused him to go entirely still. Despite the fact that Oliver was Loren's friend, right now all the lion could think about was how much like prey the other man looked, weak and sick and half-drowned. And how much energy Loren needed in this form.
So the Firebrand padded out from his hiding spot. Tensing for a moment, he gathered his muscles beneath him. Then, as Astra bleated a warning and rushed forward, he pounced at the blacksmith, reversing their roles from earlier.
