Liberty kept watching. Skipper stopped, waved and went on. It was a simple wave. Hardly even a wave but مزید of a simple gesture. Marlene seemed confused. She was.

Then her eye caught Liberty from across the zoo. She could see the شیرنی, سنگھنی watching Skipper. She couldn't help but wonder if it was possible......

Liberty saw Marlene watching her and low growl rose in her throat. At ALL costs she wouldn't let this وٹر, اوٹار take her true love from her.

"Well, er- yes. Well, I won't..waste your time then. Good-bye." With that he left the den.
