Kamau wasn't at all purr turned by the silence, content to walk along at the lion's side quietly, enjoying the sounds of the forest all around them. When Dianot'an stopped, so did Kamau, head tilting as he listened.
Meeting his companion's gaze he suddenly smiled. "Allow me..." With a single step forwards he leaped upwards, pale body twisting nimbly as he caught a branch high above their heads and swung himself onto it. He was, after all a leopard.
After a few more jumps he settled on a solid limb and scanned the surrounding forest, ears twitching. The sound carried differently up here, uninterrupted by the thick foliage on the ground. After a long moment he turned and pointed just to the side of their original heading. "That way, it's coming from the lower canopy." Jumping neatly down he set off in the direction the cry had come from, following Dia.

The leopard was already making his way towards the monkey when Dianot'an called up to him. Despite his mroe advanced years he was as nimble as when he had been wandering the roguelands several seasons ago. What he lacked in physical power these days, he maore than made up for with experience. So it was not long before he was carefully stretching across the gap between branches into the monkey's tree. Claws isnking into the bark he edged his way lower, finally dropping gently onto a thick branch alongside the injured primate.
"I'm Kamau. A Jedi. Will you let me help you down?" He waited patiently for the monkey's weak nod before moving onto the same branch, careful not to jolt the creature as the branch shifted slightly with his additonal weight. Lowering himself onto his belly, carefully balanced on the tree limb, he tipped his head towards the wounded creature. "Climb on if you can and I will get us down."
Once the monkey had managed to clamber onto his back and had dug sharp little claws into his fur, Kamau carefully stepped off the branch and onto the tree trunk, going down backwards to better contorl their decent.
With a last wince and a grunt they finally landed back on solid ground. Claws stinging from supporting their combined weight far longer than was usual, and with little pricks of blood dotting his pale fur from the monkey's stranglehold grip, he crouched down beside his companion for the monkey to climb off.
