what they do at night:Elara loves long walks by the water. She usually waits until the rest of her pride are asleep, which can sometimes go into early morning.Elara sniffed the air, letting the crisp wind hit her nose. The scent of zebra was far, but enticing.
She layed snuggly next to her husband, inside the hill that was their home. His warm skin was a safe haven from the wind outside, but the wild was calling her. She glanced at him, flicked her ears, and padded quietly outside. Once outside, she could hear her surroundings a lot easier.
There was a distant sound of cicadas, and overhead bats swooped through the air, screeching and calling to one another.
She padded down the hill, still being careful with every footstep, to the watering hole. Her eyes lit up with what was presented to her.
The moon lit up the water like the sun. Silky moonlight reflected off of the pool, revealing a couple small ripples from water skaters. Everything was always perfect this late at night. Nobody could tell her what to do. There were no hunting duties, or pride members to teach.
She sat and stared at the moon's reflection, breathed in heavily, and turned back to return to her husband's warmth.
