victory was on her mind when her claws made contact with @Louve ♔'s skin. even if it was surface-level, she can now rest (somewhat) easy to know she successfully defended herself. but, halla forgot that louve, though green and odd, was still an adult - which meant she was older and wiser than she was. halla felt the woman's big paw pin her down, but that didn't stop halla from squirming beneath the hold. she continued hissing, ears flat against her skull, as she attempted to swipe at any fleshy area that belonged to louve. spittle flew everywhere as she fought, and her fur puffed up even more, making her more a ball of fur than a proper lion cub. don't understand! she said, bad woman, bad! her tail hit the ground with each movement, and halla attempted to bite at louve.
August Y12
Summer
The summer season has finally reached its peak. The sunshine is plentiful, the days are long and the air is hot and humid - but the evenings do not seem to provide the same relief that they once had, and remain somewhat stuffy. Thunderstorms have also began appearing more frequently, particularly in the rainforest and eastern region, though the rain is welcomed after a relatively dry season thus far.

her frustration soared, morphing in to the familiar burn of anger. tiny claws and teeth sought to shred the larger lioness -- thankfully she was larger and was therefore able to keep herself mostly out of reach.
but here was the predicament -- how long was it going to take for the girl to calm down? Louve had effectively trapped the rapid creature, but to what end?
"Arrêt" she hissed once more, trying to think through her options. A quick snack might be the best solution, and as she studied the girl she licked her lips with that thought.
"Stop," she snapped in the common tongue, "or I weel eat you." It is a threat that she hopes will break through to the wild child; if she only calmed down Louve might even let her go.

the woman's threat was enough for halla to stop. she was young, sure, but she wasn't stupid. hanne made sure to ingrain the words of caution and hesitation in halla's mind from the first day they met, that it wasn't worth the risk to be stubborn. not when she, a small and frail girl, could easily be extinguished by anyone bigger than her. halla knew she wasn't strong, knew she had nothing but her feralness and what small knowledge she had. peeling back, the girl looked up at @Louve ♔, still bristling, but otherwise calmer. no eat me she half-whispered, still trying to come out as strong despite the rising trepidation in her. i leave, you leave too. she made sure to emphasize the word 'you.' and, with that said, she bounded into the depths of the dark jungle. it'll be a while before halla returned.

Finally -- finally! -- the girls blasted struggling stops. It was the right thing to say, and Louve barely resists the urge to breath a sigh of relief. There is, too, a tinge of disappointment; she wouldn't have minded tearing in to the girl then and there.
For some reason she loosens her grip, though, and gives the girl she freedom she craves. Louve might return sooner than later to look for the child, to hunt her down, but for now she watches her race off in to the jungle.
The matriarch lingers for a spell before she, too, turns towards home.
