He had stopped breifly to stand and stare at the world he would leave behind. the parastar quarters. This was where he was headed, in to a life he didn' want. he would simply be a hunter forever, never called upon by the females, never asked to help with cubs, or at least not his own. pehraps a particularily large litter would require a second nanny. he didn't want that. he wanted love, like his mother had.
The outside world beconed him to follow it's call and he was going to answer happily. He took a deep breath and got to his paws puffing out his slim chest he turned towards the borders.

"Guppi! Hey Guppi wait up!" A young voice called through the undergrowth. A young black male came tumbling from the greenery clearly out of breath, his lilac eyes wide, his tongue lolling. "Please, guppi, take me with you!" He panted his eyes qide as he tried to pull his breath back in to his lungs. "Please? i don't want to stay here. My father, liza, he told me, told me I would end up here, then I realised, i'm liek you in a way, i have no colour that others will want. Maybe out there I can find my way too? Please guppi? i promise I'll be good."
The rambling youngster looked up pleadingly at the older male his tail swaying in a puppy dog like fashion.

Hearing his name the pale male stopped only to be bombarded by the youngsters questions. Pyke, his younger cousin. Born to liza and Koi, his aunt and uncle technically. His questions came thick and fast and Guppi found it quite difficult to keep up, though the general idea soon loomed in to his ears "What? Pyke, i ..i mean your ma would kill me. You're too young.." he trailed off, hadn't his own mother said that? He sighed gently "Pyke, I don't know, what if you get lost or something? I mean you're too young to be out and about in all fairness. I'm an adilecent now, you're barely even a juvie, you know what the worlds like, Liza musta told you. i heard him talk about it plenty of times."
He paused a moment looking to the youngster. He knew he couldn't say no but maybe he could talk him out of it?

Pyke swallowed hard and nodded "i..i know Guppi. I'v heard my father multiple times going on and on about the world outside how it's horrible. But, well I don't belong here, it's like my body should be else place yanno? Please guppi. I won't be a nuisance and if I find someone, or some where I'll go there and you can get on with your life." He paused for a moment and smiled "Whats a cheetah any way?"

Guppi's jaw dropped in slight confusion, though he then smiled and a laugh rolled off his lips. "you were eves dropping?" he chuckled and lifted a paw bapping the younger male on the head. "Pyke, you really are somethin' else." He shook his head softly and sighed "It's hard to describe, they are kinda like us but thinner and with longer legs. If you're coming you'll see"

Pyke squeeked happily and bounced around his cousin "I'm coming?" He beamed his bright lilac eyes shimmering "Oh Guppi you won't regret it I promise I'll be extra good and calm and i'll help! I promise I'll help in any way I can!" He giggles childishly wagging his tail in a hyperactive manner.

"Whoahwhoa! Calm down I didn't say you were definately coming Pyke. I mean, come on, think about it! Don't you think you should stay with your muma nd dad for a little longer? They'll probably wonder where you've gone and stuff. I at least told my mum goodbye yanno?" His brow creased and he looekd at the youngster with a slight sigh. "I just don't know Pyke."

Pyke calmed himself managing to sit still. he let a sigh roll off his lips and he looked up pleadingly at Guppi "Come on man. I don't want to stay here. i don't want to be a parastar. i don't want to live my life being told what i can and can't do. i wanna see the world. Please?" he looked up at guppi his pale lilac eyes begging, pleading with the older male.

Guppi sighed and shook his head. "Alright, okay, stop with the puppy eyes, you're killing me!" He paused for a moment, should he tell Pyke to go and tell his mother he was leaving? No, Koi would probably be angry with him for aggreeing. He stood and turned for the borders once again "Come on, you're gunna have to keep up." He sighed heavily. "How do I get myself in to these things huh?"

Pyke stood and followed after guppi, his heart raced, he couldn't acctually beleive he was doing this. It felt so right though, like he was finally finding a path way. His father always said they would each find their own path. Well he said it in a stutter but still, he felt he had finally found what his father had been speaking of. His lot in life.

Guppi smiled at the youngster. it acctually felt quite good to have his little cousin at his side. Like he wasn't alone, like this endeavour was at last a real thing, that he was leaving and his cousin was comign with him. A cousin in the same possition as himself. Lost, afraid, a parastar and nothing more.It was a saddening thought that they had both come from litters of parents whom could produce cubs in bright, shocking colurs, only to have been braught in to the world, bland, plain and unwanted.
This was the right thing to do.

Pyke silently padded along beside his cousin, his own mind full of questions and answers and all those other fun things that hopped around in a youngsters mind. Having only been told horror stories by his father of the outside world, he felt a little bit frightened of this expedition away from the world he knew, while at the same time he felt happily pleased, satisfied that at last he would find a place to belong that wouldn't segregate him and dislike him for his pelt colour. This would be a new day, a new dawn, he just knew it! He was so excited. "I can't beleive I'm doing this." he muttered with a sigh of releif.

Guppi chuckled. "Yeah I know what you mean. Better doing it now though than later. I don't want to end up unloved or hated or just another male. I'm gunna find my way. I just know it." He smiled leading the way to the border his tail flickering high over his back. His good mood was escallating, he just knew he would soon be back at Kyune's side, that he would go to he savannah and all would be well with the world. He just knew it.

The younger male nodded and pressed close to his cousin. "Yeah, I just know we'll find our own paths out there Guppi. I just know it!" He clicked his tongue happily his own tail wagging back and forth in a pleased manner. He started to hum as they walked, his gaze turning to the sky. It would soon be sundown, this would be his first night away from home, away from his family. It felt so good, it felt like he was finally doing something right with his life.

He knew where the border to the lands was, and as they crossed it he paused and looked back over the land he knew so well. Smiling he took a slow breath and nudged Pykes shoulder "This is us, no turning back now." He sighed "Good bye..." Taking a long, deep breath he put his best foot forwards and started a slow wolfish trott off in to the jungle, back to his cheetahress, never to return to these lands again.
