There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Lions will always abandon each other when one is unable to keep up. They need to stay on the move to keep up with prey and such.
Nhenha was to far gone at that point so it was either abandoning him or starving with him. In Nhenhas condition, finding him would have been easy and I doubt Nym wouldn't have tried, had he not been aware of how badly the fight ended.
Afterwards, Nhenha pretty much wandered around and found the Othawas, which were on a kill at that time and didn't find his appearance worthwhile enough to move off.
And while I can believe the PCmales at one point stopping the attack on Nhenha themselves. They wouldn't let Nym get off with just a scratches if all he did was run away.
