Welcome to Gaia! ::

The sun was setting, another day come and gone. Yet as usual, the male had refused to listen to himself and make shelter. He had to keep moving, though he truly had no idea where he was going, or exactly how he would get there. Sighing, the male took one glance at the waning sun and felt disgusted with himself, he should have made shelter hours ago. But instead he'd pushed on, typical male. Besides, it wasn't as though any of the possible make shift shelters he'd passed could even be deemed acceptable. No, there were all flawed beyond belief, doubtful they'd even survive the night. And so he trudged on.

He could make out a cave just ahead, though already his doubts were high for it's durability. He shrugged it off casually and began running through different scenarios in his head. He could just bite the bullet and chance the risk of a den collapse. No it was too risky, he had to be mobile. Or he could try to enchant a female into sharing her den for a night...

"That one actually isn't half bad..." He mumbled to himself, going over the scenario in his head. He could offer her dinner in exchange for her den for the evening. In these lands he doubted a female would pass by the opportunity. Though, where exactly was he going to find such a female...

Ulimi trudged along the path he'd worn into the sand. His mind now less motivated on moving and more focused on how exactly he would come across a female to ... manipulate. There didn't seem to be any around the area, actually come to think of it, there was nothing in the area. Not a tree, not even a rock. Sort of a weird bit of scenery he supposed but he really wasn't all too worried with the scenery at the moment.

About to make his seventh or eighth pacing round, a small odor slid through the air, making it's way straight into the male's nose. It was an exotic smell, definitely not lion, but most definitely feline. A longer sniff gave him a better hope that the coming feline was female.

With a smirk on his face, Ulimi followed the trail in the direction it had flowed from, expecting to bump into the female anytime now.

Anytime now proved to be an accurate statement. She had been far closer than he expected, though he wasn't surprised. So many imperfections he had, he had to fix them. Biting his tongue rather hard, Ulimi looked over the cheetah before him. Her fur glistened with the waning sun's rays, quite a beauty... but those eyes. They weren't very easy on the eyes, and he quickly looked away from them. Taking the opportunity to stroll around the female and take in the view, so to speak.

"Hello yourself.." He purred as he continued his glance over. She seemed weak, and her stance was quite lax. But, as picky of a male as he was, there wasn't much of any room for him to picky tonight. "So tell me, what's a girl like you doing out in these parts by herself?"

Finishing his round about check, he circled back to her front and plopped down properly before her, bowing his head to show proper respect.

Ulimi snorted in response to her initial question, and quickly retorted, leaving little to no time for him to rethink his actions. "Well truthfully no, but I guess you aren't one for small talk. I'll just make a note of that." He huffed lightly, swatting his tail in the air as he spoke. He could understand her thought process, though he wasn't actually going to admit it. He simply nodded in acknowledgement as she rambled on. Lucky for him, and likely the female as well, he wasn't completely bored by the conversation and heard her final bits of conversation. Immediately his ears perked and a smile spread across his lips.

"Well, I think the stars are shining on both of us tonight. I myself was looking for a bit of ... company." He grinned even wider and continued. "Yes it was quite rude of you, but I guess I was no better. Ulimi'Siri. It's a pleasure to meet you Acquanetta." Standing up into a tall stance, the male bowed his head and lowered his limbs in respect.

A chill ran down his spine as Acquanetta rubbed herself against him, flicking him with her tail. It'd been a while since he'd been close with a female, but he wouldn't really admit that either. Not even to his closest friends - if he had any. But he shrugged it off, taking more interest in the female's words than his own. "Actually I was hoping you would have somewhere in mind... but i'm sure if we looked hard enough we could find something that would...." Ulimi paused, shuddering at the very thought of the words he was about to speak. "Make do." He never settled, this was definitely going to be a first for him.

Looking upwards in the direction the female had pointed, Ulimi cringed. The cave wasn't anywhere near in perfect condition. But he wasn't one to debate, not when he was so in need of some company. Shrugging it off once more he looked back to his female companion and commented softly. "Well then, let's not waste anytime my lady." Nodding in her direction, he walked ahead of her, and looked back expecting her to follow, not realizing she was looking to grab a bite to eat. He could wait on food, for now there was something else on his mind.
