Dangers (Akemi)

[Akemi]

(( Weeeell, then Akemi just wanted her to practice ))

IC: Ketani, after making the kill, picked up the limp carcass and padded back out of the bramble thicket, quite pleased with how easily a meal had been found. When she saw Catt, and noticed that the young leopardess had not managed to snag anything, she didn't mind in the least: the cub was much to small to have had any chance anyways. She placed the still rabbit at her paws and smiled at Catt, "It's alright right, dear, no one makes a kill on their first try. You just need some practice is all."

She unsheathed her claws and sliced open the soft underbelly before sliding the slightly steaming hare towards Catt. "Go on, dig in. I've aready eaten this day." She hoped breaking through the fur and outer skinn would be enough for the cub, and as the leopardess aparently didn't need her mother's milk any more, then she would be fine as solids followed milk.

((lol))

Catt managed a few bites, before looking around. "Where do you live?" she asked. The young leopard pricked her ears. "It doesn't look like you'd live here, since it's...not very nice here." The she-cat was referring to the way the volcano-side had slightly burned her paws.

"C'mon tell! I don't like it here."

[Akemi]

Ketani frowned slightly at how little the young cub had eaten, but most likely this was due to her age and she let it pass. Not to let the fresh meat go to waste, the lynx bent and swallowed a bite before replying to the quiries.

"Actually I'm new to this region. I was just exploring when I spotted you." Standing and twitching her ears, the fae smiled and continued. "I believe there is a Lynx Clan that populates this area. How would you like to come with me and see if we can get in?" In actuality, Ketani wanted to get a safe place for this leopardess to--if not grow up in then at least--spend a few months learning some more on how to survive on her own. It would be better if Catt was in the paws of a Clan, and although her being with the Snow Leopards would be best, Ketani didn't think those larger cats would accept Catt from herself(Ketani) due to the fact that they might think she had stolen the cub from them. That could result in her maimation or death.

[:: Tanette ::]

Catt grinned a toothy smile. "Yay!" she mewed, "It's going to be lots of fun!" She hopped down on her paws. "When are we going??? Now???" The kit thought it was going to be very exciting being with lynxes.

In fact, she had no idea that she was going to be about 3 or 4 times bigger than them when she grew up. The young kit bounded up to Ketani and watched her with wide eyes.

[Akemi]

Ketani's own stubby little tail whipped back and forth a couple times, portraying her own excitement at being able to reconnect with those of her own species. Finally some cats who she could look in the eyes without having to strain her neck!

"Why not? It'll be night soon, and I'd rather we be in the company of others then outon our own. Come." She turned and began a steady but relatively slow trot, just to see if Catt would be able to keep up.

[:: Tanette ::]

Catt bounded clumsily after Ketani, her mind bursting with questions. Would the lynxes like her? Would there be other kits? Would she have fun there? Probably.

The she-leopard had to run just to keep up with Ketani, but overall it was easy for the young kit to keep up with the lynx. "Will they like me?" she asked the lynx, her whiskers quivering with excitement, tail high.

((What thread will this continue in?))

[Akemi]

(( I have to actually leave now, but in an hour or so I can make a joining post on the Lynx borders, if you'd like? ))

IC: Ketani, trained from her years of constant movement from place to place, was in a honed condition and could have kept their current pace for a day at the very least, and without rest. However, due to this fact she could in no way judge how her little companion was doing, and this drove her to make the following comment: "If you get the least bit tired, Catt, just give me a holler and we can have a rest."

As to the leopardess' question, Ketani wasn't quite sure how to answer. She just laughed lightly and replied, "How could they not?" It's just myself I'm a tad worried about...

[:: Tanette ::]

((OK!))

Catt smiled at Ketani's first comment, then her smile grew bigger at answer to her question. "Yay!" the kit mewed, and she started to frolick ahead, pouncing on bits of grass and such. A rather interesting looking beetle suddenly fluttered out from around a clump of yellow grass.

"Oooo..." said the kit, before leaping into the air and swiping at it, pinning the beetle to the ground. She sniffed it, before letting it go and watching it fly away. Catt then bounded back to Ketani, running beside her.

(( I'm so sorry! A thunderstorm hit our area last night and we had to unplug the computer--then we lost power for about three hours! I had no time ot make the board, but will do so immediately...))

-Ketani has left-

[:: Tanette ::]

((That's OK! ^^))
