Glancing down at the little cub, Yu wasn’t too concerned. That fact was probably not a good one, especially since he was about to become a father, but Yu truly believed in the durability of cubs. “Are you all right, little Burilda?” His laughing ceased, but he wasn’t going to smother her with concern. Smothering a cub could lead to bad habits down the line. At least, that’s what everyone blamed for his little mannerisms.
“You have to admit, that was a whole lotta fun.” He tossed his head back, staring at the sky with a grin on his maw. Today had been a good day. He loved to run, more than anything, and would toss aside anything for the chance at a good run. He was a cheetah, after all, and couldn’t suppress what was in his genes.

"That. Was. AWESOME!" Burilda squeaked at him excitedly pushing at his chest and smiling widely; all of her teeth showing. That was fun; it had just startled her was all. No one had aver gotten her like that; when they tagged her they took her down gently to try and teach her how she was supposed to take out her prey. She nuzzled into Yu and then pushed away from him twisting and landing on her feet with a light thud.
"I'm fine! that was a lotta fun!!!" She moved back over to him and flopped across his chest; her little body barely covering the width of his chest. "Can all of your family run like that? Cause that's really fast!!!"

“I’m glad you had as much fun as I did. I can only ever get that happy when I’m running like that.” He grinned, feeling as childish as she did. He stretched out his paws in the air and rolled onto his side, feeling the need to take a nice, long nap right about now. If he was, though, he probably wanted to move into a more secluded area, where he wouldn’t be in any danger while he napped.
“Mhm, everyone. We’re all so fast, we like to chase each other for hours!” It was a lie, but only partially so. When he was around family or friends, they were all fast like him, and would play for hours, but he didn’t have that luxury anymore. Not for a long time. “If you work really really hard, maybe you can be fast like me someday.” He looked down at her, a little more sincere this time.

Burilda listened intensely; she liked hearing about other places and other animals and stuff. She closed her eyes and tried to picture herself as being that fast; but then she just started thinking about herself as a cheetah and she didn't look half bad! She wondered if she'd have a mane too! or if they were like lions and only the boys had them. She had to admit it would be fun to be able to run as fast as this guy... not that she was that fast as a cub but of course she didn't know that.
"Really? You only chase? In my pride we fight <3 Lots and Lots! cause it makes us stronger!" She giggled and nodded her head nuzzling into him sweetly. "I hope I can be as fast as you someday! cause then I could leave all of my enemies in the dust and I would RULE THEM ALL!!! BUAHAHAHAHAH!" SHe smiled and snickered oviously playing.

Blinking a few times, Yu was taken aback by her intensity. And people thought he was crazy. “A pride of…fighters? Well, doesn’t that sound just wonderful.” He gulped, his nerves returning to him. “I think, then, I should take my leave from this place. You see, I’m not too much of a fighter.” He laughed, rising from the ground to shake off the dirt.
“I think, if you keep at it, you’ll be the fastest lion out there.” He actually meant it, and was careful with his words. There was no way she’d be faster than a cheetah, so he made sure that the category only consisted of lions.
“Little Burilda, today was fun.” He nodded his head, to affirm his words. “I don’t think I’ll be back in these lands for quite some time, so I wish you luck in becoming faster.” He smiled once more and, with an ever-growing fear hanging over him, turned and started back on his way, to see the female that was able to tame him for a day.
