[[AIM Log: Kabaa Samawati (Seaki) & Hetal'Aspasia (Nessiaing)]]
Nessia
Hetal felt proud of her self, she had found Fasa, had began to get her pride in order. She had even found a location for the pride that she was going to start. She was now in the lands she was claiming wallking around her head held high, this was all hers. She had been working hard the last few days to mark the lands, she didn't want other creatures coming along who didn't belong her, though she of course was still lookng for new members, there was only 4 of them herself, her Fasa, and two others.
As she wondered around the lands she thought about her Fasa, she had realized a couple of days ago that she loved him, and the emotion frightened her, for the majority of her life Hetal had been alone, and she had enjoyed that time she had had to her self, only really did she ever seek the company of others when certain bodily urges needed to be quenched. Her head was up in the cloud while she walked around, pretty well oblivious to what was going on around her.
Seaki
A dark shadow shifted on the ground, slinking forward like some sinister beast from hell. Wide eyed, though, the beast wasn't sinister at all, body shaking like a leaf in a gust. In fact, he looked down-right frightened of the world. A creature simply scared of the world.
He continued on though, seeking shade to curl away from the hot sun, to sleep, maybe, and try to calm his shaking fears of the world, of a master who would beat him bloody and rip at his flesh. Yes, he needed to get away, now, and fast, from the now-invisible master that nipped at his heels.
Nessia
Hetal's thought were snapped out of the clouds when she caught the sent of another creature. She was excited immidetly, another creature, could it mean that another soul had decided to come and join her pack. She looked around her heart hopeful. Her eyes peeled excitedly looking for a large strong creature, of course there was a small side of her that thought she needed no large strong creature other then Fasa. When her eyes fell on to the black cheetah slithering along the land her heart sank just a little.
Hetal managed to bring herself back up, a member was a memeber right? She sauntered over to the newcomer, a smile plastered on her face. "Why hello!" she greeted him. She wanted to make a good first impression so she was trying very hard to appear welcoming and friendly, things she did have in her, but also sides that didn't always come out.
Seaki
Steel-colored eyes flew up from the ground to land on a white female. The dark beast flinched and skittered forward a little. "Ah... H-hello," he murmured out, hoping the pretty misses could here him. He still shook, but moved a little closer - she was obviously more fit then he was, so he wouldn't even be able to run.
His stomach ached quitely, long since stopped growling, simply so he wouldn't get beaten for wanting food, but now, he had no place to go now that he was defective. He stayed quite, keeping his body low, his voice down, and questions unasked, and shifting from paw to paw.
Nessia
Hetal wasn't sure what to make of the creature before her, he was clearly a cheetah but he didnt carry himself like a proud cheetah would. She continued with the smile on her face. "Are you here to join the pride." she asked, hopefull still that they may have a new member, but wondering what this particular member might have to offer.
She realized that she was towering over him slightly, something she wouldn't usually have thought about excpet that he looked nervous, she lowered her stature, sitting nicely on the ground. She wanted to appear to be welcoming but at the same time it was hard for her to always find those emotions to protray through. She never doubted her ability to be a leader, but the emotions werent always there to help her.
Seaki
"P-pride?" He asked, dubiously, flinching when he realized he had ask a question. He shivered lightly when she got to his level. He wanted to ask why she did - he didn't understand it. He turned away his eyes, looking down to the ground. "I'm sorry, Ma'am, I do not understand..." he told her, one thing he was allowed to say.
He gave her a small glance, still shifting from paw to paw, hoping he would not get punished for his actions, even if he didn't have a master. Unconsiouly, his mind was seeking a new master, someone to tell him right from wrong and punish him if needed.
Nessia
Hetal was confused by the male cheetahs actions, she of course did like males who were submissive over the dominant ones, she was far to controlling of an animal to have someone even attempt to dominate her. "Yes a pride, this is a pride, where many creatures live together." She looked at him disappointmeant feeling her. She was so excited abotu finding another member but he wasn't here to join, why was he here then... maybe she could change his mind.
"I guess you weren't here to join then." she said in a coy tone. She knew she was a good looking cheetah, despite what that foul male had told her not to long ago. She moved her body closer to the male again. "Listen why dont I show you around and let you know more about it." she looked at him, trying to push the idea that he didn't really have the option of saying no... besides who would want to say no to her.
Seaki
Kabaa stayed silent, shifting nervously with his gaze to the ground. How would he relay that he was just... lost? Cast out to die? Ah, saying it blunly he guess. "I'm sorry, Miss. I was cast out for death by my Master. I don't know where to go," he told her in an almost whisper as if he would get punished for stating such.
But he had no master. What was he to do? He was a born slave - he never could imagine leaving.
Nessia
Hetal smiled understanding a little more why this creature was so timid, and the problems he obviously had had. A cruel master was a problem for anyone, of cours she had played the roll of master at times, but she was usually a fairly forgiving master, and she was fairly certain that when it came down to it, the type of master she was, was quite different from the type of masteer this cheetah had had.
"You dont have to go anywhere my dear." she said to him, damaged or not he was another member of the pride, she herself wouldn't mind take him under her wing to nurse him to a state in which a cheetah should exist, they were proud creatures, not ones that should crawl at the fight of others. He was used to being a subserviant member, and she liked having someone to be dominat over, and as much as she loved Fasa, he clearly wasn't going to fufill that roll.
Seaki
The dark cheetah shifted on his two front paws. "I don't?" He asked hopefully, stealing a small glance at the white cheetah. Would she allow questions? She was very nice, she didn't hit him for his last question anyways, maybe this one would be accepotable.
Talking to her now, he would test his limits, testing her almost, as a new mater. It was completely subconcious, he wasn't aware of this thought proccess.
Nessia
She smiled, perhaps she would be able to convince this beautiful little creature to stay put. "No no you may stay here, we aren't much yet but I am hoping one day we will be a bustling pride of activity." she told him, a glint in her eyes while she talked about her pride, her pride that she was going to have one day, it was all coming together.
Hetal didn't understand why he asked questions so tentively, it was odd, if he wanted to know something he should just blurt it out. "You should stick around a few days, get to know the area better, you can always come ask questions, I would be happy to show you around." she smiled hoping if she was friendly, then maybe he would stay, he could stay and be her own speacial compain... she wondered to herself if perhaps he would be open to that.
Seaki
Shifting again. Choices? Or an order...? "Ah-Alright..." he agreed. That's what she wanted, right? He shifted. "M-my old master called me Kabaa Samawati," he told her. He would answer to any harsh word though, as well, but that was his name, the name he was given at birth by his first master.
Nessia
She smiled, perfect he had agreeded to stay, she may keep herself as his master but she would be a kinder master then he would have had before. "Well Kabaa I am Hetal" she told him, "Why dont you follow me this way and I can show you the dens, you will have your pick as our members are still few in numbers." she smiled standing to head towards the den area, he would have his choice but she thought to her self how she should perhaps suggest the dens closest to hers, it could prove useful in the future.
Hetal didn't feel guilty abotu wanting to keeping him as hers, she would be a master of sorts, but he would always be free to go.
Seaki
Kabaa followed close at her hip, body lower to the ground then hers, at a low crouch, much as how he walked. She stayed silent as he walked, watching Hetal's paws as she walked - it was the best way to follow someone while looking down after all.
Would she be his new master? He wondered lightly.
