Alima emerged from her makeshift den in her newly established territory. She almost seemed to be a living shadow, save for her glowing yellow eyes. She stretched her arms out in front of her then pulled forward, stretching the muscles of her hind legs. She shook herself. After her nap, she felt rather thirsty so she padded over towards the small pond that was partially in her territory's borders. After a quick look around, she lowered her head to drink.

Brown ears lifted alertly as Casper wandered through the woods. It was a new area for him, and he was very nervous. But that was normal for him anyway. Silver eyes glanced around to the autumn leaves, finding it almost completely empty. A silent sigh escaped him, and he continued walking. He wondered how boring today might be.

Once her thirst was satisfied, Alima moved away from heart of her territory to traverse the outer reaches of her land. She was a bit wary of other kylan in the area, unsure of how they'd react to her slightly less than normal appearance. She continued walking, emersed in her thoughts. The weather was cooling and winter would be set on the area before too long. A new scent came to her attention. Not that of the fallen autumn leaves, the slightly moist earth, or the scent of the woods. It was another kylan if her instincts were telling her correctly. Alima crept along in seach of the owner of the scent. They weren't too far.

Poor Casper had to duck often, avoiding collisions with his horns against the trees. Even so, sometimes the black horns would pet across weak leaves, making them fall to his fur and the floor. Silver eyes kept alert as he wandered through his stroll, hoping to spot....well, anything. His soft and tri-colored nose gave a wiggle. Was that another Kylan he smelled? But where? Ears lifted as high as they could as Casper made his way towards the smell, tail swishing behind him. Soon, he caught sight of a dark shape beyond some trees. Crouching quietly, he watched in awe of the other. He'd never seen such a dark pelt with bright eyes before.

Alima tipped her head back slightly and her delicate nose sniffed the air. The source was definitely close. She looked around at her surroundings. Trees half covered with fire colored leaves, dark and silvery barks, and a flash of a slightly different color. She blinked her bright eyes and looked over the nearby brush. Upon a closer inspection, she spotted the other kylan, or at least part of them. Alima sat down and curled her tail around her feet. "I can see you. You can come out now." Her voice was soft and had an almost velvety quality to it. She wanted to size this guest upon before deciding whether or not they meant her harm or not.

Grey eyes blinked when the other, now recognized as a female, spoke up. At least it was welcoming and not threatening. Casper's striped tail swished behind him as he considered the others words. But it would be rude to just walk away now. So, with quills shaking a bit, he moved slowly up to the other. Once within tail length, he gave her a bashful smile and a tilt of his head. "Um, hello there. Sorry for spying on you....I mean..." It wasn't spying, just being cautious. But now Casper felt embarrassed with his stuttering. He flushed and sighed. "I'm Casper."

"Well, so far so good and he doesn't appear threatening," The dark coated female mused to herself. She dipped her head in greeting upon learning the multicolored striped and spotted male's name. "Well, Casper, it's nice to meet you. Spying is generally frowned upon, but there was no harm done, so you're fine. My name is Alima. You are welcome to be in my territory as long as you don't cause any trouble." Alima flashed a small smile. "You won't cause any trouble, will you?"

Casper nodded, embarrassed about the definition to spying. He wasn't guilty, but all the same he was sheepish about it. The male blinked in slight confusion. Territory? "Oh, I'm sorry." He peered at his paws, as if the ground under them would glow of his trespassing. Head shook in urgent honesty. "No, I won't cause any trouble. Alima you said? Nice name." It helped him remember names to repeat them often. Plus it was nice and better than a 'hey you'.

Alima couldn't help but give Casper smile. She shook her head with a soft chuckle. "No, it's quite alright. I only recently established it so I'm sure that my presence isn't yet known by everyone around here. You're forgiven on all accounts, so quit apologizing. You've done nothing wrong." She chuckled again. "Yes, Alima. And thank you. I don't usually get complements as to my name. I appreciate it, Casper."

The male just nodded in reply, while peking around the area. A nice set territory, he must admit. "You mustn't get many visitors then, I guess? Way out here in the wilderness." Not that it was a bad thing, it was actually a nice get away. He wasn't too known to meet others often himself. "Oh, you're welcome." Ears flicked as he peeked back to the other kylan.

"No, not many. Not yet, but that's okay. You're my first. Getting away from things for a while is nice on occasion. But company is always appreciated too." She nodded slightly. "Oh, where are my manners?! Would you like anything? To drink? Eat? Sunny spot to curl up in?" Alima chuckled embarrassedly, a sheepish smile on her face.

"Really?" He was surprised to know that he was the first she'd met. Had he intruded on a vacation then? Casper bit his tongue, resisting to apologize again knowing it could get annoying for others. A toothy smile was given as his tail gave a half curl. "Oh, don't worry about that. I'm fine, thank you though." The male blinked for a moment, before tilting his head bashfully. "A sunny spot sounds nice though*

"Yes, really." She gave a slight nod at the other's question. She was glad to have gotten the other to smile, for he seemed rather shy. Alima smiled at Casper and rose from her sitting position. She gave a rather catlike stretch and turned toward the way she came. She looked back over her shoulder to the other. "Come with me. I know the perfect place."

Casper tilted his head when the other rose. Paws backstepped just an inch to give her room for her stretch. At first, he assumed she was done visiting and ready to leave. That is, before she peeked back and urged him along. "Oh, alright then." With his green tail flapping behind him, Casper walked beside the other to wherever the 'perfect place' may be. "You don't mind do you? I mean...if you had other things to do..."
