like thunder gonna shake the ground
When Wessex brought up the plants, Loren looked around for them, growling low in his throat. Nettles were a pain in the ass, though he might be protected from them in this form. Of course, he glanced at her when she mentioned metal, and let his tongue loll out, more doglike than catlike in that moment.
Peering at the water, he snarled. He padded forward, though he flinched as an errant bit of spray got too close. Swatting at it, he backed up. But there was something that caught his eye behind the waterfall, something beautiful and shiny that called to him. He had to get there, but there was no way through what with the barrier of the falls.
When the Wraith disappeared close to the water, however, the lion whined. Clawing at the ground, he glared daggers at the falling liquid. Then he bared his teeth at it, assuming that it and the thing behind it had kidnapped the demi-goddess when she was just trying to find the pretty, pretty metal.
So, gathering his legs beneath him, he steeled his nerves. Then he pounced, trying to rescue Wessex from the clutches of the waterfall and land behind it with the minimum amount of contact with the hated element.
