 A young white and brownish orange leopardess made her way slowly through the tall grass. She had been hiding in it before, stalking some gazelles. But after not being able to actually catch it she gave up and went on her way through the tall grass. Her ears back and an annoyed look upon her face as she made sure everyone knew where she was. Stomping though the grass lightly making it rustle loudly.
She could hear her claws hit the dirt with every step. This was more like a tantrum for not being able to catch the Gazelle she had eyes upon. Her tail flicked slightly at the end of it with ever step. Though, she wasn't that annoyed with not being able to catch the creature.The sun was over head, saying it was about mid day. Small breezes made the tall grass make more sound apart from the angry leopardess.

To say that he walked with a cocky gait was an understatement. His tail was flickered high over his back, his every step was strong and forward, his head lifted high, his chin prominantly forwards. Afiya was out and about. Despite his mothers warnings about the outside world, the young male had gone forth in to the world to find his fortune without his two brothers.
To say that it was strange to not have his two younger brothers at his flanks was an understatement but he needed to see the world through his own two eyes and he knew that all too well. Those eyes, eyes that his mother always said reminded him so much of their father whom he had never met.
The adolecent male was young and cocky, carefree and ready for adventure, it was then that when he saw the leopardess approaching through the grass that he paused but did not run. He was frightened of very little the young cheetah of the coalition lands. he had been given the name strength at birth and he had lived up to that name. Afiya was a very large cheetah, his shoulders bulky, a head taller than his mother already even at this young age. he had a right to be cocky, although this would probably get him in to trouble he wasn't one to run away, he was far too prideful for that.

The leopard hadn't been looking up at all to see the tail high in the air. Her attention was still on the ground, slowly her temper was going back to normal. She let out a long sigh and stopped moving in the grass, and sat down. Bouncing her tail up and down, making crunching sounds on the grass each time it hit it. Her ears still back and her vision covered by the tall grass.
Finally she looked up to notice a tail high. So, she wasn't alone after all? She wondered if the other had heard her coming. She looked at the tail more, and notice it wasn't something she had seen at all. Curiosity took over, leaving her to stand up again and start to paw her way through the grass to get a better look.
Her mother never warned her about the other creatures, except for lions. The only creatures she was told about, and was told to stay away from them. Though she'd ran into one a few days passing, and they didn't seem all that bad. Though, one couldn't count for all of them. She was trying to be as silent as she could now, to get a better look at the other, though it seemed like the way she had taken the grass never ended.

Allowing his tail to drop in to it's normal possition, low and curved, the golden eyed male waited quietly, he could smell leopard. There was really no creature his mother hadn't told him about, though he had never really conversed with a leopard in the past. His mother had always told him that every creature on the savannah was their enemy. Every beast which roamed the world could be classed as an enemy. The other big cats of the savannah did not appreciate the presence of cheetahs. His mother always said that.
Still, he was not one to tar everyone with the same brush, so with confidence he strode forwards. If worst came to worst and this creature coming towards him was infact hostile, well he could just up and bolt if necessary and fight if need be.
The grass was indeed long but he had only taken a step or two when he came face to face with the female leopard, for a moment he was surprised, she was smaller than a lion but bulkier than a cheetah, still he stood a head above her, but his legs were very long as most cheetahs were. "Uhm..hello?" He raised a brow, his leg mucles tenced, ready to fight or flee depending upon which way the situation presented itself.

Matokeo jumped back as she almost ran face first into the other. She let out a scream as well, before she landed back on the ground. Her hair was slightly standing on end. She landed wrong with one of her front paws making her continue to fall face first into the male cheetah's feet. Or at least rather close, she wasn't sure her eyes were closed.
"ouch" She said rather muffled from the ground and smushed grass her face was towards. She flicked her tail as she looked up from the ground. How embarrassing this was to have been scared like that. Though, she hadn't at all expected the other to come looking for her.

Despite his cool air, the young male cheetah stepped back a few paces when the leopardess almost fell face first on to his paws. Raising a brow he licked his lips and cleared his throat. "Uhm..sorry i scared you?" He could think of nothing more to say. He knew by looking at the female that she was a leopard, so why was she scared of him? he was only a cheetah after all.
Shaking away his surprise he regained his composure and puffed out his chest before clearing his throat. "You shouldn't sneak up on a guy like that you could get hurt." It was back to being cocky for the king marked male his ears cocked forwards, looking over her head as if there was soemthing more interesting in the distance, though his mucles still stayed tence he was still readhy to go if he needed to. He had no wont to fight or flee unless he had to but if pushed he most certainly would, and judgeing by this females composure, she had no wont to do much than fear him. He felt empowered, he knew he could strike fear in others..maybe...Well at least he had prooved himself fearless in the face of another, that at least was worth bragging about.

She snorted and sat up completely this time. Turning her head from him and flicking her talk only at the tip of it, not looking at him. "You only startled me with your face." She said trying to act like him a bit. Voice rather cool. Her eyes went to look at him from the corner. She really didn't know what to say to the other, and her ankle was hurting a little from the tumble.
"And you shouldn't come looking for trouble." She added to his other comment. Still in the cool voice. She tried to look at something else, though her eyes continued to stray back to the male. What was he? She had no clue, and with how he acted, he'd probably laugh at her for asking. In truth, she didn't know how to act around any other cat like creatures, and what made it worse, was he was the first male she had ran into before.

Allowing his tail to lift just a little bit more he relaxed a little and raised a brow further at the leopardess. "I was actcually just walking around here. I really don't see how that can be construed as looking for trouble." He cleared his throat and looked down at her paw. "Still..I'm sorry I startled you is your paw alright?" He rolled his shoulders, he didn't wnat to sem too sympathetic, after all he was supposed to be a big tough cheetah outin the world able to face any danger. Technically she was a danegerto him, or not, she was kinda skittish.
"Whats your name? I'm Afiya, son of Colche of the cheetah coalition lands, brother to Moyo and Akilli." He had long since practiced this introduction and he ultimately decided it definately sounded way cool. Smirking he lashed his lengthy tail and chuckled to inwardly, he wanted to keep up his superior air after all.

She looked at him with her face towards him this time. "It's fine thank you. Doesn't even hurt." She lied, though she wasn't about to show herself weak to someone she just met. What if he saw that she wasn't as strong as she was trying to be, and could possibly beat her or something. Her curiosity continued a little, yet she tried not to show it at all.
Him saying he was a cheetah fascinated her. Though, she had no clue what a cheetah was. Other then another type of feline. She noted his long slender tail compared to her medium fat one. His was almost like hers, beside the length. Nothing like a lion's tail. Which would make it easy for her to tell them apart.
"Well, Afiya, son of Colche of the Cheetah whateverland." she said, trying to make it like she didn't care much about who he was or what land he came from. "I'm Matokeo Muroki." She saw no point in saying who's daughter she was.

Afiya cleared his throat, ignoreing the fact that she had perhaps unintentionally offending him by acting none chellant about his linage. He was proud to be one of the 'terrible trins'. Colches only sons. Rolling his thick set shoulders he knew he couldn't let her manner phase him so he continued speaking regardless.
"Interesting name, so do you live around here? I'm just passing through." He cleared his throat importantly, sometimes it was of prime perogative to tell whom you were meeting that you were not settling down. Territory was an important part of some creatures lives, he didn't want to seem like he was trying to gazump the leopardess out of her patch.

"No. I don't." she said with a shake of her head. "just aimlessly wondering." She added to that. "You?" She asked as well hoping she didn't some how wonder into someone else's pride or pack without realizing it. She didn't pick up any scents on the way here, so she didn't think it was one, but she could have simply missed it from her carelessness.

Afiya raised a brow flickering his long tail. "Nope just out for a couple of days before goinghome." He cleard his throat then, his golden eyeds looking the leopardess over as he relaxed a little. She didn't seem to be any sort of threat to him, infact,s he seemed a bit ditzy. He pondered wheather all leopards were like this, probably, his motehr did have a way of exaggerating things. The outside world wasn't so dangerous, certainly he had never found it to be dangerous any way.

She nodded at him. The moment of acting like him passed, and she didn't feel like being rude anyways. She fell her eyes a upon grass beside herself so she didn't have to look at the other. "So, that means you are in a pack?" She asked still hoping she didn't some how stumble upon something that could get her hurt or killed. She heard stories from her mother about dangerous packs, that could kill one if they passed.

"I live in a coalition yeah, but they arn't around here I am out oaming." He raised a brow his golden eyes curious. It must have been obvious really that these were not pack lands, pride or tribe lands. Flickering his tail he looked over the small females head and gave a sigh. "I'm just heading home, but I like to come out and about and explore every so often."

She was relieved a bit and looked away. So she didn't some how stumble into a back or whatever without noticing. She really was new to all this. "I see." She said smiling back at him. She wanted to say something more, but she was beginning to feel rather stupid with whatever came out of her mouth. An awkward silence fell between them, or at least to her it was awkward.
