 Lleshena let out a deep breath, a moment after she let it out she then took another in. In and out. In and out. Slowly her eyes opened to view the world around her. The trees swayed in a light breeze, the stars overhead twinkled as the grass twitched at the air that was moved around it. She gave a soft smile, her heart calm and at peace. This was her night routine, her meditation. On a usual night she would be at this for at least an hour, maybe two, however, for Lleshena she was already aware that her night would be disrupted, and rather soon.

 He flew high above the clouds with a wide grin spread across his maw. The feeling of the wind on his skin was exciting, but he grew tired after a couple of hours and found a spot to land. Taking in a deep breath of the cool night air, Viktor peered around and spotted a rather green lioness. It wasn't unusual to see others out and about, but he saw them during the day more often than night.
The grinning monster-like mouths grinned and opened and closed of their own accord. They never made a sound and were used more for intimidation or to scare others off, but tonight he wished they'd give it a rest. He didn't like to scare everyone off, and tried to tell them to shut it as he approached.

With eyes closed, her mouth slowly turned to a small grin. "Welcome Viktor. What brings you all the way out here?" She smirked, the tone in her voice almost as if she knew him, however that couldn't be further from the truth. This had been the first time she had ever met the male, but she had seen him in her visions only moments before. After the statement her eyes slowly slid open. "You've come a rather long way."

He wasn't sure what to say at first, and instead took a couple of steps closer before tucking his wings in and sitting down. "Hmm, so you know my name. Have we ever met before?" Viktor was in a daze as he went through past meetings, but he couldn't seem to remember this female. "Well you have to see the world before you decide where you want to stay forever. And who do I have the pleasure of meeting?" the mouths on his arms opened and closed as if they were trying to tell him something, as they frowned for a moment before going back to their usual grinning state.

"My name is Lleshena." Came her statement. "You are in the realms of the Gypsy. I need not to have met you to know your name." She stood to her feet, feeling the breeze blow through her fur, "Do you have a question for me?" After standing her eyes met the male's and they flashed for a moment.

"A gypsy? How different, but you do have a beautiful name," he noted how she had a knowing-energy about her and how it made him feel out of place. Viktor considered her words and nodded, "What do you see in my future?" He figured she'd heard the question quite a few times before, but couldn't help it; he wanted to know if she really was psychic.

To the question she gave a light shrug. "A life on the isle... restlessness. Flight. Eventually you will have cubs.." She examined him for a moment, slightly smirked. "One of those cubs will give you much grief in your lifetime..." She sat down, curling her tail around herself. She was a little unsure of this male. Something was... off about her visions of him. However, she was quite sure that what she said was the truth.

Viktor nodded and grinned. He wasn't sure what to make of her prediction; whether it was true or false was something he couldn't figure out. Bugging him, he tried to find some way to compromise the confused feeling. He wanted to believe her, but Viktor wasn't one to have cubs, nor had he ever thought he would. "Grief you say, well then it looks like I'll have to keep my eye on that one. Do you know if I'll live to see the cubs grow and have cubs of their own?" Viktor whispered lightly to the mouths on his arm and they stopped mutely chattering away, taking up a still, grinning position showing their pointy teeth.

"You shall see the cubs grow. But I cannot tell you if they will have children of their own, that would be their reading, not yours." She noted the strange mouths on his arms and narrowed her eyes slightly but said nothing about them. She couldn't imagine what those things were nor why they were there. As a psychic she still did not know everything. If she had, well, that would ruin all the fun.

"That makes sense," he was convinced and finally came to a conclusion with himself that she was in fact psychic. He hadn't met any others before her, but had heard stories of how they could tell a whole lion's future and their unborn's future, for which he highly doubted, and she had proved him right. "May I ask, where you've come from?" Viktor curled his tail around his paws and caught her looking at the mouths on his arm and chuckled lightly, "They're not anything to be afraid of. Just slightly irritating sometimes."

Lleshena had been staring at the mouths without realizing it. At the sound of his voice asking her a question she jumped. Her eyes flipped toward his face, musing as she thought about the question, rather why he had asked her something so personal (for no one had ever cared about it before, only what she could tell them about themselves) or even if she should, or how she should answer such a question. Flinching, "Long away from here.. I came from a gypsy clan, one of the last.. we ran into some hard times and most of them starved.. I was one of the few to live, I had a vision that this isle was full of vegetation.. so since then I have made my life here." Sure, she had skipped a rather big lot of information, but he didn't need to know her whole life's story. She wasn't quite sure why he needed to know any of it.

He watched her body language and saw her flinch. Maybe I shouldn't have asked, he thought and felt a pang of regret that he had. But he liked learning about others. "A gypsy clan you say? I didn't know they ever existed, when I was younger I had been told such things were only myths, urban legends, and folklore," Viktor moved to lay down and thought of something. "So then, are there any others left? Or are you the last?" he hesitated on the last part and his white eyes softened. Viktor didn't mean to stick his nose in other's past, but it seemed a habit he could never catch until it was too late.

Lleshena couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You speak of us as if we are Dragons of the West!" Ironic, really, since she knew Dragons of the West did exist as she had met them almost a countless number of times it seemed. "I am sure there are more of us abroad. However, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any. I'm sure after most of us have died off that the rest have perhaps gone into hiding or have become a bit more secretive. Its not uncommon really for gypsies to do so." She gave a shrug of her shoulders as if it were a matter that really never bothered her, truth was it had. She had wondered in the past if she could be the last, but she kept reassuring herself that they were out there. They had to be.

He was taken aback, but found himself laughing along with her. "Dragons of the West. I've never heard of them before, but I have heard of the dragons that live around here," Viktor gazed up at the stars for a moment and gave a genuine smile. "Hmm, well we must make a note to search for some them one day," he turned back to look at her, "They have to want to see each other after so long. Can you see visions of your own future?" he asked out of pure curiosity.

She smirked but nodded slowly, "Sometimes. It doesn't work the same way with myself as it does with others. I can see things about others usually only when I'm near them, or see them, or touch something they touch. I'm near myself all the time, and so for the most part my 'day visions' of things are void of me due to immunities I suppose." She thought for a moment, hoping she was explaining it well. "However, on occasion I get visions in my sleep of things that involve me. Or things on a greater scale that may happen. These are rare though."
She chuckled at his comment about the Dragons of the West, but decided to not comment nor explain what she meant by them. If he didn't know what they were it might be best for now to leave it that way. To the other comment however, she let out a soft sigh. Her memories of her own kind were few and far between. She had been a young lioness at the time that her tribe had died, and the visions of those things were something she had tried to block out for many years. "Perhaps..." She also found the bit about him saying that the two of them would search for them. Did the male plan on sticking around her? She guessed that on occasion she had a student or two who traveled with her, but she had a feeling that that wasn't what this male meant.
