Olayinka prowled across the savannah with intent eyes. She had a limp antelope hanging from her jaws as she lifted her head to investigate a sound. She snorted and continued on, the tall grasses easily hiding her cream pelt. Her sharp red eyes gazed up at a tree that looked promising. A quick glance to make sure she was alone and she jumped, starting to climb the bark with her carcass in tow.
It wasn't long before she reached a decent height and laid it down, panting as she gazed out. She laid out on a branch just above her kill and sunned herself, eyes half closed in contentment.
Mmm, a fresh kill and warm sun. Nothing could interrupt her catnap.

Ciel slipped past the tall stalks of grass, hot on the scent trail of a leopardess. He had been out hunting when he came across it, and figured a bit of company could do him good. lately he had been lonely. In fact, ever since he had gotten in a fight with that lion. Ciel winced at the memory, and glanced at his still tender shoulder.
"Damn..." He grunted. It was a wonder how he could even walk, with one whole side of his body as messed up as it was. Lets just say, the fight wasn't pretty, and there was room for only one winner, and that had to be Ciel.
"Over my dead body I'd let that lion win!" He thought bitterly, sniffing the air once more. And huffing.
He'd lost her scent. Perfect. Just the sort of thing the old Ciel would never do. Ever since the fight he'd felt so handicapped. He actually had to rest every now and then, and couldn't go longer then two days without eating.
'Your so weak!' A voice hissed in his head as he stumbled towards the very tree Olayinka rested on, supporting himself against the trunk.

The leopard watched as the male made his way to her tree. He looked badly wounded an didn't seem to be after her tree or her meal. Once he was resting against it, she climbed down a bit, front forward to get a better look at him. Keeping up in her tree to watch him, she backed up to her kill and pushed it off the branch. He needed it more then she did.
She had an attitude on her but she wouldn't abandon someone weaker then her. "Take it." Her voice floated down, "You look like you could use the strength and I can always hunt again." She didn't dare come down in case of hostility. If he was wounded like that, it was possibly a fight that he possibly started. Not good to go down into the jaws of another no matter how wounded they were. She wasn't a coward, just well thought out.
