Meet Baby Owl. A friend of Lioness for a short while. Lioness really liked him as a friend and thought maybe something greater could develop. However, since the Owl is a nocturnal animal, they were only able to hang out at night due to his job. Lioness isn't particularly fond of playing outdoors when the lights go out but she decided she would for this little owl. Despite the fun they had together, The Owl picked up on Lioness's uneasiness. He found it as a basis for mocking her behind her back. Little does he know, she found out by chicanery. Pretending to be someone else, disguising her true identity to find out information. He revealed she was too nervous for him. So for a long time he just deserted her without saying a word. Even though she went back into the woods to try to look for him. She began gave up the idea of ever being his friend, but would look back at their (although few) times with fondness.
After a bit of distance, and some searching, Lioness found Owl again. They spoke for a bit and seemed to be reconnecting. And when Owl was enrolled in Lioness's school she got to see him and was so excited. Finally she felt happy. But the happiness didn't last long, as Owl came up to tell Lioness something. "I'm completely over you" he said. There was nothing else she could do. She knew it was true, and she couldn't put up a fight to try and convince him otherwise although she really wanted to, there would be no point in doing so. She wanted to ask questions like "why?" and "can't we work it how?" and "how?" and more but all she could say was "what did I do?" but he didn't answer. And he just walked away leaving her there. Looking back to see her sitting there in her green dress sad. She knew it was true. She was sad. A familiar feeling she got from men, which was almost less hurtful since she expected it now. Dumb Lioness, stop having hope and clinging on to your past encounters.

Never stop having hope...but the clinging, maybe. Only because it causes more pain.
