The small leopard sat beside a shallow pool, lounging on the shore. It was large enough to be enjoyable, but not big enough to attract alligators or hippos. All in all... he was in heaven. After spending the morning cleaning every inch of his fur, he laid back on a patch of clean grass and sighed. The summer was ending, there was a cool breeze... Zurin couldn't think of anything better.
Well, it might be nice to have some company... He thought to himself. Still, it was a good day. Besides, he always had someone he could talk to. He purred and tilted his head enough to lick at the white bird that was somehow perfectly colored into his side. Almost seeming to be grooming the bird its self rather then him, he purred contently.
"Such a pretty, pretty bird." He cooed softly, his voice a bit high pitched.

 It had been quite a while since the sandy lion had been alone. Tending to his 5 cubs had taken a lot of energy out of him. Thankfully, Bwana thought Gouta needed some time off from being a mom. And Gouta couldn't thank him enough. Being a mother was so hard.
With small steps he made his way to the water hole. It would be nice to lay out in the sun for a while without his daughters crawling on him. Gold eyes glanced over, noticing the leopard lounging nearby. He gave a friendly nod to him, and sat down on the shore, letting his paws sink into the mud. Ah yes. A pedicure is what he needed.
Gouta's ears perked as he heard the other mention a bird, and he couldn't help himself from being curious.
"A bird? Where?" He asked, a stupid grin on his face.

Movement out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. He blinked and sat up a bit, looking a bit embarrassed. While he loved talking to his beloved bird, he knew that it was a bit... odd. And he didn't want people to think he was crazy.
He smiled shyly back to the lion, giving him a nod back. "Oh, um... No one, really! Just uh... pretending!" His voice squeaked form nervousness and he glanced away. "Never mind me...."

The lion cocked his head to the side as the leopard spoke. Did he really just say he was pretending. That was a bit odd.
"Er...okay....?" The sandy lion said while he contorted his face awkwardly trying not to laugh.
A few minutes passed and the lion sat in his place, his paws covered in mud and his eyes focused on the leopard. Was he supposed to say something else? Geez. This was awkward.
"Nice day...isn't it? The sun's pretty warm." Gouta stated blankly. The awkwardness did not seem to want to fade.

Zurin shifted shly, glancing over at the male. He was never really as outgoing with males as he was girls... He never really knew why. But now even more so, with being caught talking to himself. How embarrassing!
The leopard was never one to rude though. So when Gouta spoke to him he smiled slightly and nodded to him. "Yeah.... it is... It's been really nice the past couple days, but I admit I'm looking forward to it being a tad cooler..." His tail switched. "My name is Zurin, by the way..."

Gouta was generally the complete opposite. When it came to meeting and chatting with other males, he was comfortable. Females well. They either sent shivers down his spine or were weird. He would never admit that he had ever been attracted to one. Nope. Even though he was the father of...5 cheetons and 4 lion cubs. To him, it was embarrassing, but he still loved his children (at least the ones he knows about).
Wanting to give a small sigh of relief, the lion smiled back. "Yeah. Sometimes the sun gets a bit too hot for me. I hope it rains sometime. My name's Gouta."
The sandy lion's eyes flicked from the leopard and to the water hole.
"You know, I almost got killed by a crocodile in one of these."
Normally Gouta was a compulsive liar about adventures he had taken, but this story of his near-death experience was actually quite true. But in his mind he rerolled the event and decided he should probably exagerate a bit.
"Twenty feet long, and all I had to do was stop and look him in the eye. Then the pitiful creature got scared and swam back into the water."

The small leopard blinked, wide-eyed. "C-crocodiles...?" He shifted up after a moment, watching the water fearfully. "Do you think there might be one here? My, that'd be awefully frightening..." He muttered softly, looking quite anxious now.
He stood and shifted so he was sitting a bit closer to the lion, and a bit behind him as well. If he was so good at crocodile taming, he'd surely be able to save him! So now he sat again with a bit more ease, watching him curiously.
"Really? I did not know crocodiles could be frightened so easily..."
