An explore encounter idea referencing the old lioness you can find year-round, who provides a recurring quest to claim 50 lionesses. I know that technically it's the quest snake that gives you the quest in the lore of that, but I thought it might be sweet to tie her to it more directly. This would be a new, separate February encounter that does not impact any of the established content for her.

Example:



An old lioness, in the twilight of her life, watches fondly as a distant king attempts to woo a lioness into his pride. "Ah, young love," she sighs.

[Give Company] -> You settle down beside the old lioness, inquiring after her current activity. She responds that she is watching her favorite 'TV drama', in which a king charms 50 different lionesses. You can't say you know what she's talking about, but a few minutes in and you're hooked. It isn't long before you're reacting alongside her. Manly roar, manly roar! Agh, he blew it. He should've gone for a manly roar. (+ heart shells)

[Give Privacy] -> A contented wistfulness lingers over the lioness. As her seasons near their end, she sees youthful, flowering spring all around her - reckless love and new growth. She, too, must remember the sensation of it. Alas, it belongs to others now. You leave her to the solace of it. (+ heart shells)

EDIT: Totally OK to not support for any reason, but would be great to get any feedback if you have any! Thanks for reading all this as well.
