Miss Cow:
N'gombe laughed lightly, true mirth in the silvery tone of it. “ How could you not have a name?” She smiled at him, and held his paw a little tighter, “ I will call you Noir. Do you know what that means Mousier? Noir?

Noir:
He softly turned his head. Usually his actions were sharp and ready to fight. Always on the move. But having calm for once? This was different. NOT killing. Was also different. When she asked him how could he not, he slightly lowered his head.
But when she 'gave' him a name. He rose his head. Amazed and questioning in his eyes.. "Noir?" He heart thumbed for just a moment. A name? He .....had one? His face went softly softer.

Miss Cow:
“Oui, Noir..it means dark, or black.” She laughed again, and touched her nose to his shoulder, the movement graceful and elegant, “ It fits you, and not just the color of your coat.” Her moon born eyes became tender, and she darling lifted a paw and brushed it over his ears, a comforting gesture, “ There is something about you Noir, something that is...lost.”
N'gombe gave him another heart breaking innocent smile, “ You and I can be lost together, and as you help me find my way, I will help you. Oui?”

Noir:
His emerld greens eyes showing some emotion that felt like it wasn't suited for him at all. 'Innocence'. Something he didn't know. just the sweet touches were something that was marveled to him and he didn't know exactly what to do. For one. His first thought was to tackle her and show dominance over this 'innocence' and strangle it. Yet he felt himself lost as to why he wasn't doing that already.
"Why would you want to be lost. With me." Eyes went even more stranger. "Or maybe you, like many others will walk away as soon as I show them the path to safety- and never return. I don't mind- I would't blame you." Most of them were either killed then after. Only two- were ones that stayed lively in the pride. While the others- were lead to their demise.
To her affections- he was blank to but he didn't move away neither. "Noir. And you? What is your name"

Miss Cow:
“ I don't want to be lost Noir, but I am, just as you are. I don't think you want to be either, but somehow..you've lost your way.” Her lovely voice was soft and gentle, the kindness in it easily heard, “I'll stay beside you, until you don't need me anymore if you'd like...I don't mind.”
She kept her paw on his shoulder, wanting him to know he was not alone, even if he thought he was. To his question, she laughed again, sweet and pure, “ I already told you Mousier, but I will gladly give it to you again, I am N'gombe.”

Noir:
Porbably the first time around he ignored it as it was just useless information. Just another he'd drag in to the pride unconcious then have nothing to do with them after. Again, this was different. One wasn't on nice terms, all were a brush of entertainer type personalities or just some animal that would do well to be sold off. What was this girl?
Ever danced with the devil? That's the sort of thing she was walking in to and she didn't even know it. Proping his ears up and looking to her. A name.. Noir. Now she wanted to stay with him? What madness was going on through his mind now. When you AGREE with a kidnapper..? He was at a loss of what really to do, yet she understood him somehow. Then looked to the paw on his shoulder.. NO ONE. Touches black bugie unless they were being dragged.."N'gombe." Her name- was silvery and perfect to him. "You really don't know what your saying- you should try not saying such things or someone can take you seriously." Being rude about it overall and just huffed then after. "You walked away from food to talk to me- gave me a name. What are you up to." Ears pinning back and looking at her accusingly now.

Miss Cow:
A puzzled expression came over her muzzle, and into her eyes, “ Why would you not take me seriously Noir? Have...have I offended you?” Her silvery voice held hurt, as if he had physically slapped her, and when his ears pinned back, her own laid down to the side, clearly dismayed. “ I..I merely wanted to thank you...to help. I'm..I'm sorry.”
She took her paw of his shoulder and stood up with a unconscious grace and slowly paced back to the meal. Settling down next to it, she kept her moon born eyes on the carcass. She'd been hungry, but now, now she wasn't. As the silence stretched out, she spoke very softly, more a whisper then anything else.
“ Mother used to say that everyone is a stranger until that first hello, and then they are a friend you've just met. Father was not so trusting, but he always told me that nothing in this life is random. It all has purpose, and nothing is ever circumstance. I was lost here for a reason, and you found me for one...maybe it was the gods way of giving you someone to give you something as simple as a name.” N'gombe took a steadying breath, “ Thank you for the meal Noir. It was very kind of you.”

Noir:
When her grace was taken away from his side, instinctively he rose and almost wanted to follow suit after her. But he stopped himself as he realized he was now NOT laying in waiting. But she had captured him just momentarily.
He slitted his eyes as he lowered his head to her words. He was REALLY hearing her- now her wors became clear and understandable, when before he wasnt listening at all since she was 'prey' to him. Lowering himself but not laying, standing but forward. Then he rose when she finished before slowly padding towards her. Then slumping in a lay on the opposite side of her.

Noir:
"Do you want to know the truth." He blankly said. Lifting his head in a slant to eye her.. something wicked like. She called him by, what now he would introduce himself as to anyone who asked. He would address the thank you later. As in his mind- so direct and forward it was. Hardly he was able to think of two things at one time. Kill. Was at the top of his mind but not today it seemed

Miss Cow:
N'gombe looked up through her long lashes as he approached, so open and clear were her expressions that it was easy to tell she was admiring the smooth play of muscle under his sleek pelt. She was also surprised when he chose to sit so close to her, surprised and pleased.
“ I would love to Noir. Please, continue.” She bit her lower lip, and carefully slipped her delicate paw out to barely brush against his, the white of her fur startling against the black of his, like moonlight and shadow.

Noir:
Almost startled when she reached out her paw to touch him. With a dead carcass right in front of them it was hard to tell if other's looked in, what they were truly talking about. He didn't look down, to her paw but instead closed his eyes.. Shaking his head as if to say 'you really won't 'love' this'.
"... I saw you coming in to the overpass.
I killed prey and gave this to you- to lure you." He pointed out as he opened his eyes to blantly tell her. "I was given a duty, and it is either to capture or kill you." Looking at her, it was unnerving now as he never.. ever would say something like this.. he'd just 'do' it. On the inside, he was shaking.. because did those objectives.. change? He was doubting himself even with her touch but knew that if he told her.
She could just run out.. and hide somewhere. Then the chase would begin and this time it wouldn't be as pleasant as this was coming out to be.

Miss Cow:
N'gombe drew a startled breath, her gaze widening in fear and she shivered slightly, but then something passed behind the beauty of her eyes and she lifted her chin. Showing an inner strength that would not have been guessed by the delicateness of her person, she laid her paw over his again, “ And now Noir? Which will you do, capture or kill me?”

Noir:
The leopard, whom thought he was a cheetah stilled. After he told her. But her paw was still on him. WHAT was he to do? She didn't run out out of fear though he saw it in her eyes. His were solid, emotionless for the most part and powering. His stare went in to hers. As he battled in his own mind of the capture and kill options. With a long silence he finally answered. "Neither." He slitted his eyes again..
Then lowered his maw to her paw. Pressing his nose to it and grasping the smell of her scent. It was different.. Something he never expireneced before in his life yet now.. like she said. Did the gods do this? He never believed in them and killed others whom did follow the path of the stars but now. He was torn. "I shall leave you in peace and guide you away from here if you so wish it. To never again see the likes of me. I shall remember your face to never again let a scar upon it."
Chi Sohma: [ meaning: Basically imma stalk your arse and protect you whether you like it or not ]

Miss Cow:
N'gombe lowered her own muzzle, so that she brushed her own nose against his, “ It would not be peace Noir, for you would haunt me, even in my waking dreams. If I go with you, to this place you speak of, will I be allowed to stay beside you?” Her voice was very soft, the moon bright beauty of her eyes looking up at him through the spill of her dark lashes, the meal all but forgotten in front of them.

Noir:
Questionably looked at her with those eyes of disbelief.. then he calmed his nerves and his body seemed to calm significantly. Shaking his head. "I don't whether or not to approve or disapprove of your thinking. But.." Sighing. "I mean.. its not a flowery place that I could take you to. It would be.. Just." When she put her nose against his, he slightly lowered his head and ears panned back not in anger but in somewhat a cherishing calmness. "You confuse me for being so simple minded." Wanting to return the nose poke, but not having the reasoning in his head to do it. So he slitted his eyes.. Why was this so hard to understand? Looking like he was completely lost and in every mission.. things were simple. Not like this.
