Shenzi slowly stopped chewing and let go of the meat. She tilted her fat face to look up at Majiti, forming a huge double chin.

It was a weird sight, the bloated female hyena laying there. Her belly heaved up and down as she breathed. She looked thoughtful and her expression seemed to turn somewhat milder. Yet Majiti was careful not to meet her eyes too often. He had to look strong as well as humble. But it was hard, especially as he already knew Shenzi had the final say in this. As of now, it appeared she had made up her mind.

Shenzi sighed and gave a slight smirk: "You may have the rest of the meat, Majiti. I'm full"

Majiti knew this was the closest he would get to an apology. It wasn't good to know what Shenzi's motives where, but right now Majiti did not bother. He was just about to approach the meat as Shenzi spoke again:

"Well.. there is one thing I need you to do first."
