That little clearing under the tree to the left
Miscellaneous items are strewn about in the shade here. At first glance, they seem to be discarded, but as you approach the pile a lioness looks over from where she was chatting with her friend and promptly gets to her feet. She briskly pads over to you, taking a seat between the roots of the tree and idly swishing her tail back and forth behind her. The lioness tilts her head towards the pile of items. "Did you think you could sneak off with something here without anyone noticing? Well, I'm very sorry to disappoint you. If you show me what's piqued your interest, though, I can tell you what you'll need to give up for it. Oh, don't worry! I was told quite firmly that it couldn't be anything drastic or dangerous. It's just boring old beetles..." She grumbles the last part, casting a resentful glance at the lioness with whom she'd been chatting moments ago, who doesn't seem to be paying any mind to the exchange. You turn your attention to the scattered goods.
