"oh..." Was Tamu's only reply to the Leopard, though he as trying to figure out why she carried things up trees all time - a different problem for a different day he supposed. It was nice to know that he had a way down thought - very nice, he hadn't been looking forward to trying to back down the tree the way he'd come up or jumping out.
"It's certainly different" Tamu agreed with the Leopard as she said it was lovely, lovely was a girly word and he wasn't about to use it "I'm going to tell all my friends about it" He told her though he didn't think he'd teach them how to climb...or repeat the performance himself, they'd all be stuck up the tree since he didn't know how to get down by himself.

Tail held out for balance she stood there looking out at the open area for some time, smile plastered on her face. Then Ibala remembered about the lion cub and turned around to face him. "Oh you're friends will get a kick out of this." Though she wondered if he would try to show his friends how to climb or just tell them that he could do it. Either way he would spread the joy of climbing to others, much like she did.
Letting out a small laugh before taking on a more serious look - well as serious as Ibala could ever get. "Ready to head down now?" As much as she wanted to stay up here all day she knew the longer they were up here the greater chance he had of falling.

Tamu was enjoying his time up in the tree and it seemed like the more time he spent up here the less he noticed the ground and just how high he happened to be. It was almost like you got used to it - or maybe you were just so busy looking at everything else that you didn't notice anymore. In any case he was mostly over his fear by the time the leopard asked if he was ready to head back to the ground and he gave her a quick nod.
"I am" He told her "thank you for showing me" He continued in a sincere tone, and if she got him down safely he'd thank her for that too - sure he might be a bit more comfortable in the tree but he wasn't comfortable enough to try getting down on his own

"Okay then!" She said cheerfully as she closed the gap between them. "Do me a favor and don't move to much." Then she reached around with her head and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. His small mane tickled her nose but she took a deep breath to quell her need to laugh. Now was one of those rare times to be serious. Gently she lifted him, thankfully he was pretty light. Though she had to admit she was used to carrying things up a tree not bringing them down.
Well there's a first time for everything right and slowly she lowered him so that she could get a grip on the trunk. Small pieces of bark rained down as she took one cautious step after another. When they were close to the ground she jumped away from the tree landing softly, though a bit off balance. Still she had managed to keep him safe for the journey down and now set him down. Giving her head a shake to rid herself of the tickle that his mane and given to her nose. "There!" She said happily as she looked back upon him. "All safe and sound on the ground again."

Tamu took the leopards favor to heart and tried not to move so much as a muscled as she grabbed him up and made her was down the tree. He cringed a bit at the showering bark but as each step bought them closer to the ground and she didn't drop him he trusted her more and more, even giving a slight squeal of pleasure as she leapt the last little bit and landed safely on the ground.
Shaking his pelt slightly to rid himself of flakes of tree bark he beamed at her "Thanks again! I'm going to tell all my friends about you and what its like to be up in a tree" He told her before dashing off to do just that.

"You're welcome!" She called out cheerfully at his retreating form. Oh she did hope his friends would be as happy as he was about the tree climbing. And why wouldn't they be. Climbing a tree was certainly no easy feat. The fact that he had done so well on his first try just proved that he had natural skill. Maybe he was part leopard, she thought with a giggle.
Glancing once more as he disappeared across the savannah Ibala set off in the opposite direction. All that work of carrying him down the tree certainly made her hungry. Time to hunt! She let out a giggle and then set to scanning the horizon for anything up ahead that would make a good snack.
