EXPLICIT - Bad Time To Be Hungry

	The sound of bare feet and a set of paws hitting stonework meets our ears. It seems as though the sight of two beings chased by lions was our method of entertainment today. One of them, an elf girl with long, shining orange hair sprints alongside her companion: a Cu Sith male with an emerald green coat of fur and and equally scared expression on his face. The two of them were making their way through a certain sort of “back-woods”, for lack of a better term. Nevertheless, they both were running for their lives from a pack of snarling and ravenous lionesses.
	“Hah, hah… Hurry Giddy!!”
	“Aye, Lass, tryin’ m’ bes’ ‘ere!”  The two of them turn a corner, skittering along the stone under their feet for a moment. They had been running and running like this for hours at this point, and they certainly didn’t want to get eaten by those… beasts. Thankfully, whether it be by a grand stroke of luck, an amazing way of maneuvering, or by sheer willpower, the two of them quickly lose sight of those snarling lions…
	They soon come to a gradual stop at a nearby alcove in one of the cliff faces that they’ve been seeing for the past hour or so. The elf girl braces herself against the side of that rock, and heaves in deep, heavy breaths as best as she could. She might be an elf, but she certainly wasn’t built for something like this, was she?
	“Ugh… hah… hah… Giddy, you okay ov’r there?” She looks to her side, spotting the green-fluffed canine but a few feet away plopped onto the ground with his head held high. He was no slouch, either, but running for over an hour with nothing in terms of rest always puts the toll on the body. He lets out a groan before letting out a small retch…
	“Hough… Oof… ‘scuse me, lass.” He swallows for a moment or two to try and get his gag reflex under control… Though, it’s not after another gag or two later that he ends up calming himself. “Ugh… d...did we lose’m? I dinnae wan’ tae keep runnin’ after tha’...”
	“Well, I really do hope so… You hurt at all?” The elf girl looks herself over for a moment or two… her clothing had been caught in a bramble patch a while back, so she was simply going in the buck for the moment. Even so, they could at least catch their breath for the moment…

	Meanwhile, at a nearby patch of stone, sand, and the occasional sprig of dried grass, the sight of a lion’s paw hitting the dust meets our gaze. It seems as though the pack was trying to pick up the scent again… One of them raises their heads.
	What was that? Was it the meat? They look around for a moment, taking in every little bit of the place around there… Dust, dirt, trampled grass… They could be close. Suddenly, one of the pack lets out a snort. They had been sniffing around a nearby cactus, and had accidentally prodded their nose against one of its spines! They recoil and shake that spike free a moment later. The one that was actively looking just rolls their eyes… Idiot.
	One of them looks up a moment later, pointing their head in another direction.
	There. That way was the meat. The smell is them, no doubt.
	And like that, the entirety of the pack scrambles that way, soon picking up the scent one by one… And like that, the area they were in was left with nothing but a few tracks in the dirt, a loose cactus spine, and a cloud of dust in the air.

	Back at our original destination, the elf and the Cu Sith were resting their bodies as best as they could in the heat. With the threat of being eaten fresh in their minds, they certainly don’t mean to stay for long, do they…? In no time, the Elf girl stands up with her companion in tow.
	“Awright, c’mon, now. We gotta find a place t’ get help. I take it y’ don’ wan’ be eaten, yeah?”
	“Iffin’ a’ do, then ‘tis a frigid day in th’ Underworld.” The canine stands up, and brushes himself off as best he can before heading towards the nearby exit of that alcove…

	ROOOAR!!!

	The two stark naked runners widen their eyes at the sound of that fearsome growling. They look at each other for a moment before starting to sprint away. However, the two of them are stopped in their tracks as the pack of lions that were chasing them but ten minutes ago round the corner, enclosing them into their space…
	“Oh, shite…”
	“Giddy…!? Giddy, c’mon, now…!” The elf girl was looking around for anything that might help them claw their way out of their situation… Though, the only thing that she could see after a brief look was the canine’s member, standing tall and throbbing with need. For a moment, a thought crosses her mind…
	Ugh, really, Giddy? Now of all times?
	Though she doesn’t say anything, she just rolls her eyes before turning back to the task at hand. She certainly didn’t want to end up like kitty chow! She grabs the canine for a moment, and starts to edge her way back towards the rock face behind her… She was scared; there’s no lie about that. The lions were inching forward in time with her steps as well, closing the gap with each step of their ruinous gait.
	Suddenly, one of them bounds forward, and pounces towards them both! The only thing that they could do was scream, and judging from the echo, things certainly didn’t look good for them…

	“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!”

In the end, though, the lions ended up bringing home a rather hefty meal for their “King Of the Jungle” boys back home… And judging from their distended bellies, they had gotten their appetites satisfied as well...
