Lanner was a male of reasonable age with much experience up his sleeve. He had lost prides he had started a few times, but that was in the past. He had learned from the experiences and came out wiser. However, he was seven years of age and didn't have a successful pride. it got to him a bit so, again he had himself an established territory. It was vast, full of open fields and even had a small lake with a sparse amount of trees growing near it, though the lake only held water in the wet season. Other than the lake, a river clipped one corner of his territory. A couple of miles away from that he had a substantial den site. He figured it was a fine territory overall, one that a herd of zebra used frequently to graze on. He let out a roar, a short one, hoping to lure a female. If not, he might go searching for one because he was looking to start a pride again.
Rafyre pranced across territory that was unclaimed by lions, his bouncy walk giving away his youth. If it was not his prance that gave away his young age, it would be his absence of a full mane. Instead it was a tuft on his head and longer, coarser hair on his chest. Eventually, it would be grown in nicely or so he hoped. For now, though, he was an unfortunate young lion who had little chance of getting a female. He was inexperienced and still a bit small. Still, he thought he was pretty great. What young lioness wouldn't want him?
Life was ridiculously hard for a leopard, wasn't it? When there were lions everywhere, yes. Crinum would know too. She was a leopard herself, struggling very much to keep herself and her two cubs alive. Currently she was stalking prime lion territory, desperately searching for some scraps of a meal even though it wasn't so typical of a leopard to be such a scavenger. Of course, she did it in a dignified manner by not sniffing around like mad and walking with desperate strides. She kept her head held high, her tail curled up where its white underside was shown clearly among the golden scenery. It signaled she wasn't hunting, really, but it made her an easy target. She didn't care. If a lion showed up she could hop in a nearby tree. There were already a few in her sight. She strode onward, carefully scenting the air for a carcass or maybe an actual live prey animal, in which case her tail would go down.
