The morning sun's gentle rays called for a slight disturbance in Linje's slumber. His eyelids slowly revealed the world. The sky was still dim, and the breeze was still chilly... But the leopard's senses were consumed by the female at his side. She was his sole captivation, and had been for several months. Waking up nearly every day at with the cheetah at his side was certainly the best thing ever to happen to him.
Linje nuzzled into her teal fur on her neck, absorbing her scent delighting in it. It was many days ago Linje decided to claim her as his own forever... to confess his feelings. Maybe today would be the day...
Though, it was more difficult than his thoughts made it seem. Every time he had gathered the courage, something stopped him... some annoying coincidence that interrupted their most intimate moments. But today, Linje was confident. Nothing unlucky or unfortunate would prevent him from claiming his mate.

 The gentle rays awoke a '''queen'"..and the soft nuzzles made it hard to sleep over. Emerald eyes softly opened.. "mmm.." She grumbled almost and yawned..in a cute fashion. Something soft and that she could not manipulate..
"mew.."
When she slightly opened her eyes to focus this time.. she saw him. 'Dysi... where are you doing here?' She wanted to say but only leaned against him and nuzzled him.. A soft unexpected purr as she curled her tail around the unsuspecting tail of linje's.
Then it took her a few moments to softly snug her head under Linje's neck and purred once more. Ears flattened as she didn't even imagen that the morning would bring her back to reality.. but it did. Slowy she moved from under him and nudged his neck. "Linje.." She softly said. "What's wrong.." A whisper..

Her tiny sounds made the leopard melt, the pitter-patter in his chest growing more intense with each of her movements. It was amazing... and frightening how much control she had over him. And she didn't even know it... Or, that's what he thought.
Linje entwined his white tail with Nyoka's blue one as he purred with joy. "Nothing's wrong." He replied, and he couldn't help but grin so wide that his cheeks felt as if they wanted to explode. "In fact... Everything is perfect." He returned her affectionate nuzzle, and swept a moist tongue against her nose.
"But... there is something I wanted to let you know..." This was going to be the moment. The moment... and now Linje's chest felt like it was going to explode too. He still had a chance to back out... He could make something up. Then again, that might make me look stupid. And that is the very last thing he wanted from Nyoka at the moment. He shut his eyes, leaning into the female in a sort of adoring embrace... he sat quietly, waiting for a response so he might continue.

The temptress softly yawned and opened her eyes as if she awoke fully... Hearing his voice and the words as if her life was beginning again.. And nothing of the past mattered.. Except Dysi kept reminding her.. Of the past. "Is it?" She questioned him and shook her head a little as she went to groom herself with her paw and clean up her face.
Before her tail loosened Linje's and returned to curl around her leg to first look out to the light of the den.. then Linje. "Me..to know? What is it?" But right after she said that.. she felt queezy...making her ears pat down. "Hold.. that thought.." Right before slicking out of the den- 'army' like style and once she got to the daylight's sundays out of the den.. She was about to throw up.. Shaking her head as she dashed a little ways before throwing up and hacking.. It felt like all that she ate last night made her sick.. OR. So she thought.. Her ears slanted back and her body went in to somewhat of a temperature. What SEEMED like a slow day.. started sickly and making her feel sick..
After a few moments of composure.. she tossed dirt and sand in to the place she threw up in .. turning away and using her back legs to do this..
Her tail up so she wouldn't get dirty with even her insides.. Slowly moving away from it with her head hung low.. 'I don't feel well..' She chimed to herself.. Stopping. Semi waving her body... "Maybe.. just hunger?" She questioned and slowly walked back to the den.. not looking so well..
"Are..we going hunting...soon?"

"W-wait..." Linje squeaked as he watched the cheetah leave his side with a horrified expression. Silver claws scratched at the earth anxiously as the leopard cursed himself. Damn, I let the opportunity slip. He let out a heavy sigh, releasing all the tension he had built as he slowly picked his torso from the dirt.
He curled around himself, sweeping the loose dirt from his coat with his tongue. Grooming had always relaxed him before, but not this time. This was a completely different feeling, and he didn't like it. What used to be a leopard brimming with confidence was now a foolish feline begging for affection as if his life depended on it. Linje scowled at himself, disappointed that he has come to this. He was better than anything... and if logic prevails, he deserves anything that he wants. So, why is it so hard to claim her?
Linje turned to find Nyoka had come back. Gladness washed over him... but his smile had vanished just as quickly at it appeared. "Nyoka. You... you look ill, is something the matter?" With grace and speed, he arrived in front of her, nuzzling her face. An overwhelming amount of concern swelled in his eyes... yet another new and undesired feeling.

She had not expected him to rush up to her as he did.. and when he did .. it made her retort back and shake her head. "No.. I'm fine." Quietly as she said when she backed away a moment and let her body move in composure.. Her head high..
"Do I look ill? I have never known illness. It must be nothing.." Showing him it was alright.. she moved next to him and softly nudged his neck.. with a return for moving her whole upper spine area under his neck.. Softly purring.. with her mischievous tail softly rubbered under him again. "My handsome one.. why do you look so worried.." She offered.. sometimes she still stroked his ego while other times it was just hard to get her attention much at all. Something that she would find that men kept interested if they don't always have something.. Times of separation was needed. Like the times she left and went to where she would make her future pride.
A huge amount of air was sucked in a moment.. before she pushed herself forward.. "My apologizes..for not bringing some breakfast when I left.." Her voice chimed with regret.. even though she never felt regret before.. Probably this feeling would come very soon.. as she didn't know. Her stomach had something in it.
She turned to him with a very soft.. and kind face.. she was a beautiful creature.. and when she was sick.. she looked unnaturally beautiful with the hint of sadness that no one could help and a deep secret she held within her. Mystery surrounding her.. More huge breaths tried to aid her composure but it didn't exactly help..

Linje only became even more concerned when the female recoiled. Shouldn't she collapse in his heavenly embrace and instantly recover from whatever was ailing her? Well, that's only how it played out in his head. The frown creased deeper into the sides of his face, even as Nyoka put on an act of health.
"Maybe you've never known illness, but you're not immune to it." Linje's white fur rippled as the female brushed against him. He closed his eyes, thoroughly enjoying the moment, yet refusing to be distracted from his thoughts. "I assume I look worried because your health appears to be in danger." He swiftly moved to confront her, nuzzling his nose against her cheek again.
Linje dismissed the apology with the subtle wave of a paw. "Nonsense, precious." The pet-name came out almost awkwardly, as he intended to use a more intimate one. But, until he confessed his feelings and Nyoka confirmed she felt the same way, that would have to do. "Rest is the best remedy I'm aware of. You should lie down, take a nap, just relax. I'll fetch breakfast for the two of us." He finished his proposition with a confident smile. "Any specific variety of meat you crave, this day?"

Her ears went back... looking at him so hopelessly. She didn't know what was ailing her.. but she would soon find a cub that would make her see things in a new light. Not the cold masked female under her mask. She wanted to growl when he said SHE wasn't immune to illness.. she was perfect but she knew better to growl at the hand that fed her.. Though soon she wouldn't want such things.
His nuzzling made her close her eyes and softly purr.. Dysi... She thought. Such girly ways.. that eased her and melted her but somehow Linje was just a fraction of it. "You shouldn't worry about my health... king..I am only a fraction of what you are.. I would have to worry and take extra care if you were to fall ill. I'll be fine.." She cuued in to ear softly. But he was really worried about her? ... It felt like her heart hesitated for a moment but she knew better.. this male was just ... irritatingly.. but he treated her well.. She was beginning to think maybe this would be good for her. She'd just have to pretend to care for someone she didn't.. mask and live in a dream. Slowly she turned back to him.. and softly offered a lick to his ear..
"Any that my king gives me.. I will eat.. for it is but a privilege to have a hunt that you killed." A soft smirk that edged over her maw before turning away and slowly padding away.. to look as though she were hearing him. Absorbing what he said but instead it was just her feeling the sickness creep over her. "Don't be long~ handsome." She cuued as she disappeared to curl and slip back in to the den.. Where she curled in a sickly way and put away the mask. Feeling as though she'd throw up at any time.. Making her feel weak and sickly.
Disgusting.. The protective tail curling around her.. 'What has happened to me? Is this kindness making me sick?'

With an inflated ego, Linje silently padded out of the den. What a wonderful feline, he told himself beaming with joy as he scanned the Savannah in search of prey animals. There didn't seem to be any gazelle or zebra in the distance, but there were always hare hidden around. But... is a hare even worth being a meal for the likes of he and Nyoka?
Linje focused all his senses on the surroundings. A hare would have to do, and he discovered one shivering in a burrow not far from his position. He crept forward, using his white coat as an advantage in the morning's light. This wouldn't be difficult, he told himself. He only worried that it wouldn't be enough for the both of them.
Now he was in pouncing distance, and the quivering rabbit still seemed oblivious. He licked his maw as he tensed and readied himself for the kill... In a blur of feathers and a loud squeal, the meal was gone. Linje cursed at the bird of prey that had snatched the hare, swiping a paw with anger in the direction it disappeared. The leopard huffed, and evaluated his surroundings once again. He just couldn't go home with empty paws...

Grumbling.. debating. She was in one spot for too long and Nyoka.. Was not up for such things inside of a den. If she was to stay in one spot.. I'd have to be outside so she can observe.. and lounge in the morning sun.. even if she was oddly colored and only blended in near water..
She coiled for a moment.. For a long few minutes... When she felt a little better and less light headed.. the cheetah slowly crept out once more.. 'No. Not staying as den candy.' She thought as she headed out. Merely standing there did she feel... so disappointed as she easily found her companion for the time. Watching him... They had at least one big rock right next to the den.. where she usually laid and that was where she usually could be found.. Taking steps and then curling on top of the rock.. Watching.. He missed. She laid there a moment.. Soaking in some sun before she was ready to sit up again. Taking her time.. Rabbits. She almost sighed.. Pathetic. She could take down a whole Zebu by herself... Or once before. And Dysi's help in the rear.
She lifted her stomach up off the rock and headed in a full stretch run at her Linje. But she didn't just stop there.. she ran straight passed him and in the stretch.. she didn't stop when the tree was in front of her.. instead with gravity she was only allowed seconds to push against the tree and almost looked like she flew after pushing against the tree and landed not on ground.. but had tackled him from the front as he was starring at the loss of a kill.
As she landed on him- tossing him backward.. She stood over him... and softly leaned down.. to lick his neck. "Need help~" She offered with a smirk.. Even if she was feeling like hell.. she would show him that she was immune to all illness. Nudging under his neck with a soft purr before she walked, carefully not to step on him as she moved past him.. her tail tauntingly curling under his chin then slowly slipping away. "Let's hunt."

Before he knew it, Linje was on the ground. A dark blue projectile rammed him head on, knocking the wind and senses out of him. White fur and dirt combined as the leopard collided with the earth. That was never a pleasant combination, especially when it included pain. When Linje recovered from his dazed state, he saw Nyoka's lovely face framed by the peaceful blue abyss that was the sky.
"Feeling better already, Nyoka?" He chuckled, but the words came out awkwardly as he hadn't regained his breath yet. The leopard struggled to get to his paws, and he longed to follow Nyoka as she did that sexy tail thing... But there was a stain on his coat, and it must be taken care of. Reacting on habit, Linje curled around to lick the grime from his perfect white fur. "All clean." It had only been what seemed like moments before he returned his attention to the cheetah.
"Yes!" He pranced after her, seeming to be in an rare playful mood. "But if you start feeling sick again, don't be afraid to fall back, okay? I just don't want you to get worse. I love you."
Whoa. Hold up. Linje stopped dead. He hadn't given those words permission to escape his lips yet. The leopard gulped, watching Nyoka patiently, pulse racing as he prepared himself for her unpredictable reaction.

She looked at him with a very soft and subtle way. "I care take care of myself." Offering him.. but tilted her head while closing her eyes in a smile. "I'll fall back if need to." And once she said that she was about to bound off.. sick and all but as she took only one stride .. he said the forbidden words to the actress.. to the geisha.
She turned to look at him. Blankly. Almost ...in a ... concealed way of showing emotions. The actress way of showing such things. "....Oh?" Her voice was calm and sweet.. It looked like he didn't meant for it to come out though.. so slowly.. she turned around.. she couldn't tell him the same just yet.. he needed to know many other things and he needed to slide through the cracks of her many elaborate emotions. Curvy.. in a wave like motion.. swaying her hips as she came up to him. Smirking.. He had fallen in to her trap so deep.. that he would die in suffocation from her debts. Even if she was sickly.. the joy of him confessing these feelings meant she had him in the palm of her paw.. A smirk played on her lips... as she closed the space between him.. softly showing him affections like nudging her head under his chin.. and softly nuzzled. A purr to add..
She kept this affection up until even her core was being disturbed but he was being a good pet.. for now. Cuuing and purring in to his ear as her muzzle near his ear. Her tail curling in an anxious way.. "We should hurry and get our game...before the sun sets.." Avoiding an answer from her.. as she turned and let her whole top of her body... rub under his chin.. Their fur almost marrying in the perfect harmony.. Her tail.. still tempting him as it was the last part of her body to leave him. Before she bounded off.. almost a few strides in she looked back. And nudged her head to the way she knew game had to be.

Oh? ... Just... "Oh?"
Linje cringed. Nyoka's lack of response signaled to him that she was uncertain about her own feelings. If this was the case, then their future together was also uncertain.
To Linje's puzzlement, the cheetah began smothering him with affection that only lovers could express. It was reassuring, but only so much. Maybe she didn't say it because she's too shy... Or maybe she had said it but the illness has made her so weak and quiet that I couldn't hear it. But no matter how hard Linje tried to convince himself, the original ugly thought emerged from the blanket of lies.
The leopard couldn't bring himself to object when Nyoka urged the hunt to begin. He wanted just to be with her, but... she was hungry... and maybe food was all she needed to get better. "Yes, let's go." He displayed a swaying gait, admiring the cheetah from behind. He was inevitably sullen, but he let his naturally composed nature hide it.

When she started on the path.. the small little brush and forest they had been living to the large masses of plains that surrounded them. Where they were.. it was like the sea to the ocean. Opposites. When she reached that long grass plains she stopped. Looking over head at it all.. scanning.. She was a good seeker.. she was good at everything.
Her tail played about behind her.. as she watched and when he came up next to her... She would slowly turn to him.. then back to stare down where the path she knew would lead her. A game? or dead plains. "I care.. " She said softly.. "I .. feel ill though.. I wonder if its just hunger.. or is it something more." She confessed.. he looked to her as close to a mate~ is what she thought and someone like her could not accept this fully...especially when she so reluctantly wanted to put together any army that worshiped her. This male was in much lack of her needs.. but for now he would have to do until she find another more stronger and one less naive.
"Hunger." She stated.. Then her ears went up as she saw a few scattered zebra crossing the plains.. Shouldn't they be in a herd? She worried that maybe ... something was going on in the plains that she didn't know of.. Were they migrating? Or were they missing from a herd? She thought about it VERY closely.. "Zebras on the far left..Against the sun. Should we go after them... my handsome?" She looked to him with a determined but strong look. Almost submissive as if she said it.. but also softly let her tail run along his legs. A smile surfaced for him.. a pin up one that she used to get things her way.. but this one was to reassure him that 'he' was boss. Or made to think that he was boss.
"Is something the matter~?" She cuued..

Linje was too overwhelmed by his own thoughts to pay attention to Nyoka's gentle rambling. It was then he realized that maybe hunger was getting to him, magnifying his nagging thoughts. "Yes, those zebras..." He said, noticing he prey, scattered and lost from its herd. "Let's go after them." Linje's voice was more forceful than before.
He took off with a strong prowl, the leopard was gone before he even heard the cheetah's question of concern. Even if he had heard it, he'd avoid answering it... just as Nyoka had avoided replying to his confession. This changes things. He thought to himself, lurking after the zebras with a glare. But, no matter how hard he tried to break free from the relationship... he would always be a slave to Nyoka. Since this was the case, the leopard felt hopeless.
If gentleness and constant coaxing and worshiping her wouldn't win her over... He'd have to think of something different. But, he figured he had time to think of a strategy since the female still seemed at least a little fond of him.
Linje got closer to the oblivious zebra as they grazed near a frail tree. His claws emerged from the white fur of his paws as he imagined dining on the fat, juicey equine with his mate. Just as they'd done every day for what seemed like months. Though, things might play out a little differently now. Linje stopped, turning to look at Nyoka. "Let's get the big one. The one in the middle."
