Charlie shivered at the sudden change. At first, she chalked it up to being so deeply in character. But the deafening silence and the sand could not be ignored. And for many moments after she was forced to stare at lion butt, she blinked confused and seriously out of sorts.

She searched the face of her sister desperately for guidance before slowly trying to make her way around the circle to Lee's side. "Hey, there... It's all right.." She tried in a calm voice. "You're a good kitty, no one's gonna hurt - you-eeaaaghhh....." The reaction was clearly from when she saw the human-like face on the thing, as a hand shot up in instinctive defense mode from the sight of it.
