I Am A Lost Boy (Any)

[Mazikeen]

The intruder alarm rings in Mazikeen’s head, distracting her from watching while Malik plays with a rabbit she had caught for him. She leaves her son to his games, sprouting feathered wings so she can move faster. There are visitors she’s expecting, after all, and she does not want to keep them waiting. There’s some disappointment, though, when it is just a stranger. Mazikeen huffs but still lands nearby before moving closer. She does not shift back into an equine, prowling forward to the intruder as the winged, white lioness she had travelled as - crowned by her usual set of twisted, glowing horns. Not feeling any particular desire to delay the point, she pauses a reasonable distance away and asks bluntly “Can I help you?” It’s the same basic question she always asks, though it was once spoken with a kinder voice and with kinder intentions. Now she merely wishes to know what he is doing in her home as quickly as possible so he can be dealt with one way or another. m a z i k e e n .
