Thanks, everyone, for your comments! I am glad you thought it was funny -- even though I didn't even realize Kaethel and Elena were called "hyenas" on IRC. The funny thing is that when I was writing it, I kept having a nagging feeling that there was something that I heard on IRC about hyenas, but I couldn't remember what it was!
Ever since I started watching L&C, I have seen a similarity between Lex and Scar -- and I am glad that I wasn't totally crazy seeing that parallel
