BURN

“Nonsense. You’re injured,” Ninazu said. Amongst the flickering flames, her ears flicked. She hung back with Caesar. Ninazu hated being an official medic; she gladly hung back and let the guru handle the matter. She didn’t want to touch anyone, let alone strangers.
Caesar’s erratic tail caught her eye. Of course it did; the lioness knew the damned bastard.
The moment the fireball left his mouth, she raised a flaming paw and absorbed it. The stench of burning fur filled the area. Before it hit her nose, she’d already lunged at the yellow savannah. Moving the earth beneath him, she attempted to have him sink up to his elbows in muck. Then, she’d attempt to thwack him upside the head.
“No, you’re idiotic,” she said. Her voice came out as a sigh. The lioness was so damned tired of dealing with this shit. How she looked forward to her noon nap and evening meditation right now. “Believe me, Caesar, you don’t want me to babysit you. I’m not above muzzling you, putting you in a straightjacket, and burying you in the sand. Perhaps then you’ll be so bored out of your mind, you’ll actually calm the fuck down.”
