His coat shimmered like the rays of the sun, Golden, fresh, young, healthy, he was in the prime of his life and he knew it. His thick set skull was carried high, his shoulders alwaysrolled forwards to make his already overly large form seem even bigger.
The suns bright rays danced over his beautifully marked pelt and a smile lifted on his maw. It was a perfect day and he had nothing to do but wander around. How perfect could a day get?

Zambarau felt more or elss the same way, the day was beaustiful, the sun hadn't risen to it's zenith yet so her coat felt fairly cool. Day time was often a problem for her, her odd colouration making her stick out like a sore thumb against the savannahs tans and gold, today though, she didn't mind she was simply enjoying some time alone.
Unlike Afiya, he coat did not shimmer with health and life, she was a little under nourished, but still in decent enough health, th only sign of her lach of nutrition being that her fur clung tighter to her ribs and her eyes were a little sunken.
She spotted the large male easily enough, though for a moment she thought him to be a mirage he melded so well in to the 'background' of the savannah, she smield and admired him for a moment, though she stopped. She didn't want to disturb him, he seeemd very large and she feared an argument if she interrupted his walk.

He had always been the friendly sort, father cocky and a little full of himself but still friendly and mostly always a gentleman. His golden eyes smiled as he padded up to Zambarau without a moments hesitation. "Greetings" He puurred, his large head lowering in a gentle bow. he had never really seen a cheetah so strangely coloured and marked before, most of his familty consisted of browns golds and oranges, natural colours really.

Zambarau tenced slightlyas he started to march towards her but her silvery eyes fell on the cheery smile and she waited quietly while he approached. "Good day to you too." She whispers her soft purple, blue coad shifting int he slight mid morning breeze.
"I'm Zambarau." She stated rather simply, waiting for him to introduce himself, though her mucles still remained tence, she had never seen such a huge cheetah. he was a goliath, as large as a lion easily, if not taller due to his long legs.

"Afiya." He chuckled rolling his shoulders so his mucles became more pronounced, he liked to show off. It was sort of his thing to show off to the ladies.
"Please don't be frightened. I wouldn't hurt a fellow cheetah. My mother taught me better than that." He puurrd winking cheerily at the female, he knew his size could be daunting.

Zambarau relaxed a little, but she still wondered about this very large male, he seemed frindly but how did he get that big?
She blinked a few times when he mentioned his mother and she raised a curious brow. "Oh.." She trailed off her silvery eyes watching him quietly, this was a strange meeting, she felt, males usually didnt show up unless she was in season and she most certainly wasn't.

The big male looked her over for a moment, she didn't seem to be o top of her game, he could tell by looking at her that she was about his age, yet she looked unwell, sunken. he decided to help her.
"I'm just on my way to hunt, would you like tojoin me? there will be plenty for both of us." He smiled stretching out his limbs and raiseing a questioning brow.

Zambaraus ears perked. A hunt? Oh she did so need a good meal in her belly. She nodded vigerously at the offer "Yes, i would love to hunt with you." She whispers, looking eagre to move off and find some prey. She was hungry and she knew a good meal would do her the world of good.
maybe this male was just very friendly after all!

Afiya smiled. "Come on, theres a herd just over that rise. Im sure we can pull something large down between us." he knew he could pull something large down on his ow, but fromt he look of Zambarau,s he liked her independance maybe just a little too much.
She seemed stubborn to him, which was fine, he would help her out any way,she looked like she needed a friend and a really good meal.

Zambarau nodded and followed after the big maleher tail held at a low slopeing angle, she was tired but to hunt real game and fill her belly she was happy to ignore the feeling and simply trot behind the big male to where the game was.
The thought of meat made ehr lick her lips, but she hid the factfrom Afiya, she wanted to still look strong, independant, not desperately in need of this kill.

Afiya only just hit the rise as he broke in to a run, his thick set mucles propelling him through the grass like a knife through butter. His thick set mucles showed the power that was his driving force. he was strength.
Pouncing he landed square on a small zebra, knocking it to one side and winding it. the disrientated beast tottered and as it did so, Afiya was at it's throat pulling it down, uing that superior weight to drag the beast to the ground, and holding tightly until it's life fled it's body.
"Well, come on, get your fill, theres plenty for both of us."

Zambarau stood baffled at the top of the rise. Had he just done, what she thought she saw him do? He took down a zebra on his own! This cheetah was soemthing different.
She didn't wait for his call, speeding down the ridge and stopping on a pin p***k to look at the creature he had braught to it's death. "Thankyou" She whispers before turning to the creature and digging in.

Afiya smiled and lay down by the zide of the zebra, giving the female a wink. "No problem, take your time, i won't let anything disturb you." he smiled and crosed his fore paws, waiting for her to finish.

It didn't take very long for zambarau to eat her fill. She had learned a long time ago to bolt as much food as possible in the shortest time scale. She swallowed a last bite lookign at the zebra enviously, she had certainly made a dent in it but there was alot left.
"It seems a shame to waste all of that." She sighs and shakes her head.

"Nothing goes to waste on the savannah Zambarau, even if we don't eat it the jackals will come and th vultures and hawks, then the bugs."
He settled down beside the ebast and started to eat his own fill then, taking his time and enjoying the meal rather than bolting it the way Zambarau had.
