The dark male stretched as he moved out of his den, golden eyes squinting in the morning sun. A large yawn stretched his jaw as he shook out his fur, blinking away the sleepiness. He stretched out his limbs before briskly heading for one of his and Mwezi's favorite watering holes, hoping she'd also head there after she was done dancing for the morning. Some days she got up earlier than the sun, and other days she didn't. Tomorrow they'd most likely spend their time cuddling well after the sun had already come up into the sky.
He hummed as he spotted the watering hole on the horizon, smiling to himself. Their days always felt good, their cubs were grown and they were working on building their family even bigger. His tail flicked and as he got to the edge of the water, leaning down to drink until his morning thirst was quenched before he started a slow stroll around the watering hole, eyes floating around the area in hopes of spotting his beautiful mate.
