At first I thought there’d maybe been a bit of a linguistic or cultural misunderstanding, and that maybe ‘lions’ was really a metaphor for ‘lion-hearted warriors’ or whatever, but it seems it’s the genuine thing. Reminded me of reading in a medieval bestiary how lions would rescue people, and feeling rather superior as I read it. Seems I owe those medieval writers an apology!

Sort of Androcles and the Lion updated.

Very nice story. Hope it has a happy ending for the woman concerned.
