"Thank you," Ivana Bennett nodded lightly. "Then we'll be going."
Lucas Walker reached out his palm, took her hand, and walked towards the distant helicopter.
Dozens of meters away, King Arthur watched Lucas Walker from afar and did not come over.
Having lived in the savanna, it was now not very accustomed to being around these modern things.
"I'll go check on it!"
Letting go of Ivana, Lucas Walker strode towards it.
King Arthur immediately came to meet him, lowered its body, and Lucas helped tidy its mane, gently patting its back.
"Go on," he said.
King Arthur looked up at him, and Lucas waved gently.
After hesitating for a while, it finally turned and ran towards the distance. After a bit, it stopped to look back at Lucas Walker, then gradually sped away and merged with the lion pack in the distance.
Ivana walked over and stood beside Lucas Walker, her gaze following King Arthur as it walked away into the distance.
