Ebe turned when she heard footsteps approach, spotting Aliva and her pet lion Spike who looked at Ramune. 

Ramune stood, raising its mutated centipede tail in the air, and strutted around Spike, nudging and brushing against the much larger cat.

Ebe grinned at Aliva and waived. "Hello, Aliva." 

She liked Aliva as they had very similar personalities in general. 

"Rain's coming, I think," Ebe said as she brushed her hand through her short black hair, turning her head back up to the sky.
