 Finally, Celile had managed to get rid of those obnoxious cubs. If there was anyone in the world who could consider the juvenile years to be suitable for younglings to become independent, it was Celile. The feline stretched, finally feeling free after a few years of being cub-bound. A part of her missed the constant noises of the young leopards... especially Caitan. She offered to shelter him longer if he wished, but apparently the brat preferred his siblings.
With the roll of her eyes, the leopardess got to her paws. The fleeting thought of regret and loneliness crossed her mind, but she quickly ushered them away. She was happier this way, she assured herself.
Yet still, her green eyes scanned the horizon for a figure she might confide in. She spied a lioness in the distance... she looks rather lonely, too. Maybe it would be okay if she just so happened to wander over there and say hello...

 Faon let out a soft yawn. Her eagle companion had left her for some family time and if the brown lioness had ever felt alone, she couldn't have felt even more so right at this moment. She was half tempted to lie down in the shade and sleep away the day, but the soft steps of paws against the grass alerted her to another presence.
Glancing over her shoulder, Faon noticed a blue leopardess padding her way. Her ears flickered and a small smile crept over her muzzle. She had never had the pleasure of meeting a leopard before. Perhaps today would not be as bad as she first thought? Tilting her head, she flexed her toes into the ground and waiting for the female to draw ever closer. She didn't want to shout a greeting and scare her off after all.

With a limp in her step, the leopard casually made her way over to the lioness. It didn't take long for second thoughts to rear their ugly heads in her mind. Maybe she'd say hello another time... Oh, it's too late now. The lioness had spotted her. Something about that smile was inviting. It wouldn't hurt to say hello.
"Ey there." She said with the typical slur in her voice. Celile lumbered over and claimed a nice flat boulder, plopping down with a little lot less grace than the typical leopard. "I couldn' help but notice ya all alone over 'ere. Figured I migh' as well drop by, neighbor." Celile rested her head on her weary paws. She was constantly traveling, to escape the imaginary cheetahs that haunted her tail. She was thankful to be in the presence of a powerful feline that may choose to protect her if the time came.
"My name's Celile." She said, lazily flicking her tail as she eyed the lioness. "Pardon my intrusion... I hafta know... Do yeh have a mate?" One lion for company was good... but two was better. Especially when they have an impressive mane.

Faon smiled at the obviously weary traveler as she made herself comfortable on the boulder opposite of where the lioness made her grassy perch. She noticed the gimp in the leopards gate and she felt a small tug at her heart. She wanted to ask what had happened but that would be very rude of her.
"Greetings Celile. My name is Faon, its a pleasure to met you. I am quite grateful of the company." she said in a voice as soft as honey. Her red eyes sparkled with amusement. "I'm afraid I do not yet have a mate." she admired, most saddened by this fact, but quite curious as to why the leopard wanted to know. "May I ask as to why you wish to know?" she tilted her head and awaited an answer.

"Ah... tha's unfortunate." Celile was pleased by the lion's sweet demeanor. At the same time, it was almost a disappointment. The kind ones were always the first to crack in a battle. Perhaps she wasn't as safe as she first assumed. In any case, she was happy for the company for now.
"Mh? Oh..." A yawn interrupted the feline's train of thought as Faon asked her question. Celile's teeth glinted yellow, and a weak roar escaped her throat. "The more th' merrier is all." She finally answered, fondly eying her temporary companion. "Now dun think you can get passed me wit'out a name, eh." Celile chuckled, her steady gaze watching Faon expectantly.

Faon let out a giggle. "Oh but my dear, I already gave you my name." she laughed again and flexed long sharp claws into the grass. Perhaps the leopardess was just so tired she didn't hear it. "My name is Faon." she smiled and flicked her tail. "And I see. Well I'm afraid its just me. My eagle friend is away so I find myself alone today." she said with a sigh and let out her own yawn, pristine white fangs glistening and a deep roar from the pit of her chest. She might be kind but she wasn't to be messed with. "What brings you this way might I ask?" she asked, trying to drum up friendly conversation.

"Ooohoh, Faon. Pardon me, my mind must be elsewhere." She chuckled at herself and shook her head, only slightly embarrassed. Typical. The first time she approaches a lioness for company, and she instantly humiliates herself. Oh well, there's no use of fretting over it now.
A brow rose as Faon mentioned that she had an eagle for a friend. What an odd relationship that must be... Celile's thoughts were shattered when Faon mimicked her yawn, and an impressive roar rumbled the earth as a result. Mmm, that's what Celile liked to hear.
Her tail flicked contentedly as she pondered the lioness's question. "I'm jus' passin through. I'm always on the move." She cast her eyes downward, reluctant to confess the true reason why she was always on the move. "I'm jus' nomadic by nature, I suppose.. Well, Faon... what about you? Is this your home, or do ya travel much as well?"

Ah a traveler. Faon knew little of how that felt. Sure she traveled around a bit, but she always returned to this area to rest and relax. It might not always be the same den, tree or bush, but it was always here. With a soft sigh, she shook her head. "Only slightly. I take trips now and then, but I always return to this area. I just feel so....." she paused and glanced at her paws, thinking of the right words to describe it. "At home here." she smiled and glanced back up at her companion. "Do you not have a permanent home... or at the very least.... a spot you desire more than anywhere else?" she asked innocently. She had no idea what the leopardess might or might not be running from, any troubles she had, or what caused her injury. Yet part of her... wanted to know.

"One spot...?" Celile took a moment to daydream what kind of spot she might claim as her home. Undoubtedly, it would be flooded with lions who adored her. Cheetahs would flee in fear, and she would be the queen of them all... They would happily oblige to every one of her simplest desires. Celile snapped from her outrageous thoughts. It wasn't healthy to dwell in dreams... Something like this would never happen.
"Ah, no. I've never really had a home. I think I prefer to travel." Celile grinned at the lioness. "Though I bet it's nice not tah have such itchy paws..." She chuckled and stretched, letting her eyelids fall closed for just a moment. "It's a vereh nice home yeh got 'ere... Comfy and everythin'. I bet it'll feel much more homey when you find yer mate."

The brown lioness could understand this. And the leopardess was right. It probably would feel better when she found a mate. "If only the day would come soon!" she giggled as she glanced down embarrassed like at her paws. She always dreamed of a handsome lion to fall in love with....and little ones running about her paws. "How I do wish for cubs...." she said softly to herself before looking back at the leopard. "Do you have a mate? Or cubs?" and then she realized what a silly question that might be. "Though I suppose you wouldn't be traveling if you did. Forgive me." she chuckled.

Celile's drowsy eyes had snapped open at the mention of cubs. She pricked her ears and stared at the lioness as if she had just done some impossible stunt. "Cubs?" She practically sputtered the question, suddenly reminded of the two litters she has had. But she didn't want to get into the details of her life... Especially not all of her failed romances.
"Cubs." She said again, stiffly. "Yeah, cubs aren't fer everyone. But if tha's what yer into, go fer it." Celile sighed and laid her head back down on her paws. "As fer a mate... no. Never had one. Doubt I'll ever have one at this rate." She pricked again, realizing she might be depressing her company. "Because I move so much. I'm sure you'll find yours soon enough."

Faon couldn't help but give a fond smile towards the leopardess. "I see. I didn't think as much. But mayhaps some day you will find someone who will travel with you. Keep you safe." she said as she gave a brief nod of her head. With that being said, she rasped a bright pink tongue over her front paws, her mind idly shifting to a daydream of herself with three or four cubs running about her paws, that dream boy chuckling in the background at his children's antics, the feeling of his mane against her muzzle. The fawn colored lioness let out a soft sigh. If only such dreams were reality.
