 This was pure heaven, Netta thought as she looked her fill at the lovely blue sky above. There were many white fluffy clouds out today and Netta had spent most of the morning trying to picture what shapes the clouds were forming while she laid back on the coolish grass located near a watering hole. So far she had see a rabbit, a cheetah, and a flower. Yawning quietly Netta hummed a tune that almost sounded like purring. " This is the life~ I suppose I could visit some border lands to see if anyone would care for a run." Just the thought of running made Netta wiggle her body with excitement.

 It was with a happy sigh that Makani accommodated himself against the rock. It didn't provide any shade, but now he was in the mood to be in the sun, and the rock was pleasantly warm. When he got too hot, a cloud would conveniently pass by, and he would have a few moments respite.
Having had a big mean the day before, he wasn't really hungering for food today, and so was very happy to just spend the ay relaxing. So far there hadn't been much excitement by way of people, but... well, something would show up. Eventually.

Some time had gone by before Netta got up with a stretch and a little groan of enjoyment as her bones popped back into place. Her pink eyes narrowed as the thought about what she could do next. Lazying about had its appealing but you can only lay for so long before you got bored. Looking down at her feet the thought of running came to mind. Shrugging her shoulders in a 'why-not' movement she rotated her paws before taking off on a trot. A trot became a jog which became a full out run. She laughed with abandonment. Running to her also felt like she was flying.
So immersed in running she didn't see the other male laying on the ground until it was too late. She was airborn before crashing to the ground. " So much for being graceful." She muttered with her face somewhat planted into the ground. "Ow." She blinked dazedly.

He hadn't really been paying attention, which wasn't exactly typical for him. Perhaps Makani had actually dozed off. But he heard the paws, eventually. Sadly, by the time the paws of a cheetah are hitting the floor loudly enough for you to hear them, the other cheetah is probably pretty close.
He wasn't actually hit, or anything, but the cheetahs green eyes went wide, just in time to see a white blur fly over him, and then hit the ground. Makani wasn't usually the sort of cheetah to get stressed out about things, but his fur was on end, and he found he had clung to the rock rather pathetically.
"A-are you ok?" He asked hesitantly, then hurried over to the side of the cheetah on the floor. Oh heavens! Poor girl.

" I-I think so-" She turned her head in the direction of the voice and all thoughts stalled. The white of her face turned a rosy pink color as she took in the appearance of a desert colored male. ' Great, I make a fool out of myself infront of a handsome male.' Zipping up to a seated position as fast as she could she sheepishly rubbed her left front paw as it was the one that ached the most. " So sorry about that! I didn't see you at all. When I run some times my mind wanders... Are you hurt?"

Oh, well, that was a relief! Makani was glad this female was alright, or else he'd feel terrible about somehow having been the cause of her fall. Still, he stood up and walked over, and, without really asking for permission, raised a paw to swat off some dust from her shoulder. She was such a pretty white, it would be a shame if she got all dirty on his account.
"Oh, I'm fine! Nothing hurt here." Even though some of his fur was still standing on end. Makani was a very relaxed guy, he'd hardly get his tail in a knot over something so silly. "Are you sure you're alright?"

She blinked as he touched her body and fought a smile from crossing her face at his mothering-hennish attitude. It was sweet. "Oh, good good." Netta looked up at his head before hobbling over to the water and dipping her paw in, it felt really good. Once that was done she went over and brushed her paw through his hair. "There! And yeah I just pulled a muscle is all. I think I may just soak it in the water for a bit to stop the hurt. I learned that from a traveling doctor a while back." She tilted her head curious. " My name is Acquanetta, you can call me Netta if you like. You from 'round here?"

By the way she was walking when she headed for the water, this lady had actually hurt herself, which made Makani frown in concern. Oh, that was just terrible. Wounds on cheetah were particularly harsh, since they were so delicate. He should know, being a cheetah himself.
He did smile again, amused when she brushed a paw through his hair. "My name is Makani." He purred, happy to be around a lady again, it felt like it had been a while. "And I'm from a loittle bit of everywhere. How about you?"

"Oh, I see." She tilted her head and smiled up Makani. " I guess you can say I am the same way. I'm a wanderer and I love being one. Others prefer a pride or pack well I do like the stability I do like going off whenever I want too as long as I want too. In fact I was just heading off to back to my birth place to see how everything is over there." She chatted as she dunked her paw into the cold water once more and frowned down at her semi-dirt covered face. She used her other paw as a wipe and cleaned the dirt away.
She sat primly as she could with one paw in the water and wet fur. " I really should have been paying attention to what I was doing, it's just sometimes I just focus on the run rather than the direction. Sorry 'bout that Makani. I shouldn't hold you up much longer. I tend to be a clutz at times, its just part of my nature I guess." Netta laughed and her nose crinkled in amusement.

Another traveler, like him! Well, maybe she didn't travel for the same reasons, but some of the stuff she said definitely mixed in well with Makani. He sat down next to her, politely listening as she chatted and cleaned her fur. "It is sometimes nice to be home." He nodded, though even in his childhood he'd never had a stable location, there were places he liked to visit more often than others.
"If you had been paying attention, we might not be having this delightful chat." He pointed out, amused. "And being a clutz is cute." Well, Makani frankly found anything about females endearing. But clutzes really were cute.

His words caused another flush to rise on her cheeks and she put a paw to her right cheek in coe-shyness a smile creeping onto her face at his charm. " That is very very true Makani~ I would have missed out on something quite enjoyable." As they chatted the hours flew by or atleast it felt like it from her point of view and she found herself enjoying the time. Rarely did she meet another the way she had and ever rarer still did she enjoys anothers company. She was more of a 'lonewolf' type with an occasionly itch for some 'romance'. Even if they parted ways now, in future Netta would make it a point to find this handsome fella again and possibly participate in something not so friendly.
END.
