She hummed as she padded along, her tail in the air, the fluffy tuft at the end flickering back and forth happily. her soft golden eyes watched the world dreamily as she searched for the tune she wanted to sing to the skies. Sitting momentarily she turned her odd patched gaze to the clouds and smiled. It was easy to find a tune when the rains were coming. They made the beautiful pitter patter on the world that could definately be classed as a beat, but the rains were some way away yet,t he clouds holding on to their soaking bounty, so she lifted herself once again and hopped towards one of the many trees.
Standing on her back paws she leans against the trunk of one tree and starts batting at it creating a sort of heavy thunking nise. until the rains this would do as a tune.

Ciel was in a bit of a foul mood. A grey haze hung in the leopards eyes, not like he's usual perky self. It was, in fact, the rain itself that had put him in such a sour temperment. He was far more attrected to sunshine and warmth, the cold just wan't what Ciel had had in mind. To make matters worse, he could already imagine the tiny droplets hitting and soiling his perfectly clean pelt. A loud, cranky sigh sounded from him "My fur....my fur!" Ciel wailed, turning his head to give his shoulder a good lick. "Oh, my fur. What if it gets muddy?" He huffed loudly, shaking his head.

"Huh?" Vinca's ears lifted as she peered around the tree she was standing against. there was a leopard there. Or at leasts she thought he was a leopard, he was very, well for the lack of a better phrase, bright. Blinking she lowered herself to the ground and walked around the tree to get a better look at the shockingly bright leopard. "Wow, you're very bright." She blinked owlishly, she was still young after all and tact just didn't come in to her vocabulary.

Ciel's ears shot back, and his shoulders tensed. He had heard someone or something sneaking about behind him, and he was in no mood for a fight. Especially now, with rain coming. He turned around to glance at his pursuer, surprised she was rather young. Of course, flattery was flattery, coming for a kid or not. "Why thank you!" He cooed, his ruffled fur beginning to lay flat. He eyed the girl carefully and frowned. "Are you alone?" He asked, suprised she wouldn't have a traveling companion.

Vinca giggled a little, he had taken the exclemation as a compliment? Well who was she to argue with that? Shrugging her shoulders a bit she smiled and waved her tail. "Oh I'm not far from home, my pride is just a little taht way. I'm just out looking for soemthing good to make a noise with until the rain comes." She smiles padding up to the leopard without a moments hesition, perhaps this could be called nieve of her, but he seemed nice. "Are you alone? You sounded upset about your fur."

He cocked his head to the side, confused by her laugh. What was funny? "Well...thats good. Someone your age needs to be watched." Ciel nodded confidently, as if he knew what parents went through. Pft, the leopard wouldn't know a father if he became one himself. The mention of rain only reminded Ciel of his pouting, and the grey haze fogged over him once more. "Ick...rain. It might sound nice, but it does my fur no favors." He confessed, lifting a paw and swiping his tongue over it. "And yes! Of course I'm alone, I don't need a baby sitter."

Vinca looked at the male leopard confused for a moment. What did he mean her aage. She went to ask him when he started to groom. the question just flew right out of her head. "Oh..well i don't need a baby sitter either, mama lets me play around here as long as I don't go too far and keep out of trouble." She eyed Leceil for a long quiet moment then, as if measureing up if the leopard was infact, the trouble her motehr had told her about. "I don't like gettin' wet either, it makes my fur all stinky."She ggiles and flickers her long tufted tail. "I can show you a place to shelter if you like. I know a really good place, it's a secret though."

Ciel frowned slightly, and nodded. "Well, you must be responsible then." He assumed. Ciel wasn't the brightest bannana in the bunch, and had more street smarts then social skills. He brightened up a bid, perhaps this lion did understand his fur troubles. "Uggh, I know what you mean! I hate it, and I don't look as handsome without my bright fur." He explained, nodding. He perked up at the mention of a secret, his tail flicking back and forth gently. "You do? And you don't get wet?"

She smiled again, the little lioness with the odd patches around her eyes, her tail flickering gently. "Oh yes, it's my secret hiding place, when i want time away from my family just to think. I have two, borwing brothers and they, well they are just boreing." She giggles, she was intregued by this vein creature. he was, she had to admmit wonderful to look at, but he certainly knew it. "Follow me, I'll show you."She puurred turning to hop off back int he direction she had come.

He was intrigued, any place that was a secrect must be for special individuals only. A grin crossed Ciel's face. "Boring is now good. You have to be special, or else you're not worth my time." The leopard explained, nodding. Padding slowly after her, he could feel how heavy the clouds above were. Swelling with rain, about to burst. "We better hurry..." He comented, glancing at the sky. "By the way, I never got your name. I'm Le'Ciel."

She smiled back at him hopping over tree roots and twigs as she padded along, making as much noise as possible with her paws. Stealth was not soemthing she worried about. "Vinca." She smiled, her name was simple but she knew it was a beautiful flower, her mother had told her so. "This way" She chirrups slipping through some tight knit shrubs and vanishing behind them. behind the bushes was a good sized den. Clearly it hadn't been used seriously by anyone for many years, but Vincas scent coveerd the place. This was her secret hiding place, it was dry warm and the perfect place to hide from her boreign brothers.

Ciel followed without much difficulty, a tad more quieter then her. "Vinca, thats a nice name." He gave a curt nod and followed after her, ducking his head as to not hit it as he entered the den. It was roomy and large, the fact it all belong to Vinca suprised Ciel. "Wow. And you found this on your own?" He sat slowly onto the ground, beginning to hear the soft pitter patter of rain outside. "We made it in time!" He cheered, smiling.

"Yeah, this is my den. I'm gunna live here when I'm old enough." She beamed, she wasn't going to tell leceil that she had acctually fallen in to the den because she had tripped. It was an acidental find but she felt it was her place. Her secret den. Laying down on the floor, which over time she had lines with varyous dry vegitation. The slight scent of lavender rose in the cave as the rains started to drop outside. A yawn spread accross ehr paw as she did so, her gaze looking out throught he thick foliage, her ears perking to the watery music.

"The rain sure is loud in here." Ciel commented, the echoing drum of rain beating against the outside of the den and pulsing through his ears. He watched Vinca with interest. He had met the musical types before, not to long ago he had ran into a pretty, young cheetah with an extraordinary voice. Was she one was well? As he listened and watched, even Ciel could hear the rhythm of the rain. "Are you a dancer?" He questioned bluntly.

Vinca smiled sleepily her eyes already closed her ears twitching to the sounds of the rain "Not really, I will be, when I'm older and I find my own tune. I'm still looking you see. i havn't found my rythem yet. I know I will eventually." She laughed gently opening one eye to look at the leopard. "My mother says i just have to be paitent, it'll come to me when the times right." She yawns closing her eye once again. "the rain always makes me so sleepy. It's like a lullaby."
