James woke, groaning softly, his whole body aching as he shivered. He tensed at a low growl before relaxing as he felt the cub's small, quivering body press against him and realised it was the cub he could hear.

It took a moment before James realised the cub had to be growling at something and, whatever it was, he was in no state to fight or flee from it.

James heard the rustling of vegetation and could only hope it was from a friend, but couldn't help fear that, the way his day was going, it would be a foe.

Glad you liked it. The poor cub is trying to be brave for his daddy.

Thanks for reading.

Glad it worked. James agrees with you and is hoping the next prompt isn't something like T-Rex *vbeg*

Thanks for reading.

Oh, poor little cub, growling through the fear!
And hopes that it's a friend!

*nods* The cub is being very brave, even though he is scared.

Both James and the cub hope so to rather than some scary creature

Thanks for reading.

Aww, the cub is still being brave and the suspense is building. I do hope that's Abby...

The cub is being very brave for his daddy. *nods* you are not alone in hoping that is Abby.

I love the contrast of that really sweet image of the cub and Lester, paired with the tension of not knowing what's coming.

Good to know it worked. The cub is happy to be sweet, James would be muttering if he didn't have other things on his mind ;)

Thanks for reading.

A really intense nail-biter of a drabble!

Glad it worked, although both James and the cub would prefer it wasn't so nail-biting.

Thanks for reading.

Sorry, but you'll have to until the next prompt James is muttering that it better not be T-Rex.

Thanks for reading.

Sorry. The boys both hope it is Abby and not something like a T-Rex

Thanks for reading.

Too much suspense for my nerves to handle!!!

but at least the cub and James are together...

Sorry, I'm sure the suspense will be over soonish. James wouldn't leave the cub, and now the cub won't leave James.

Thanks for reading.
