She did enjoy fishing though and she was gaining quite a skill in hooking the fast fish from the water and either making a small meal of them or taking it back to the dens as a present for one of her siblings or her parents. Perhaps fishing was her type of hunting.
Laying on the bank, her gaze floats across the sparkling water, her paws tapping the lights as they danced past her nose, she wasn't hunting so it was okay to just tickle the fish if they came close enough. Her lips turned in a smile as a face danced in the glassy waters, it wasn't a real face, it was just her imagination, but Taradhia was definitely on her mind and on the glassy surface. That bit of sunlight was his nose and that bit his eyes. She giggles to herself and splashes a paw making the surface ripple and the face of her friend vanish.
It was odd how much she thought of Taradhia since the festival, odd, but at the same time, quite nice.

 Taradhia once again found himself on his way to meet Terema. They hadn't arranged to meet or anything, he just knew the place where he was most likely to find her. Sure enough, when he got closer to the watering hole, he spotted a grey and blue figure. She was so easy to spot, as no one had tattoos quite like hers.
Rather than letting her know that he was here, Taradhia grinned and decided to sneak up on her. He quickly crouched down and started stalking towards her, although his white coat didn't exactly provide much camouflage. When he had almost reached her, the gentleman in him just wouldn't allow for him to tackle his best friend to the ground and shout 'surprise'. So instead, he simply walked to her side and allowed his reflection to meet hers in the water, causing him to smile widely.

Looking at the reflection that smiled at her, she gives a giggle and watches the calm clear water shimmer with the image of her friend . After a few moments she bats at the water sending ripples flowing over the surface.
"I was just thinking about you." She smiles rolling on her back and batting at his nose playfully. "Did you hear me thinking?" She laughs quietly and lets a purr roll over her lips, maybe she had thought him to the pool? Na, it was just a coincidence, right?

Taradhia let out a small chuckle. "My ears would have to be pretty special for them to actually hear what you're thinking." He smiled warmly. "It just so happens that I was thinking about you too, and I know you well enough by now to know that this is the best place to find you."
His lilac eyes trailed over the water. Yes, he knew Terema very well by now. She was his best friend after all, and so it was only natural to him that he would want to spend time with her. When he turned back to her, he tilted his head. "So, how are you? And how is Totoro?"

Her deep blue eyes smiled as she looked over her friend, he had become so, so tattooey, she could tell just by looking at him that he was proud of his tattoos and of who he had become. He was fluffy too, which made her smile, she remembered as a cub asking her mother about wings. She still dreamed of wings, but she was, after all, of the bird clan.
"Did you get another tattoo?" She smiled putting her paw on his foreleg and nearly covering the bird that 'flew' on his leg. "Totoro is good, he's clopping about some where." She giggles taking her paw from his leg with an almost embarrassed smile, which was very unusual for her, she was always so confident.
"I'm good too." She breathes very slowly, "have you been behaving yourself since the festival?"

At the mention of new tattoos, Taradhia almost gulped. He had indeed got new tattoos, but for some reason he was struggling to tell Terema exactly why he had got them. "I have, yes..." He mumbled, before motioning to his other leg. "Some birds and some feathers. They are my newest ones."
The reason he had got them was to mark his friendship with Terema, as she was such an important part of his life. Just thinking about that made him feel all shy, and yet again, he couldn't figure out why.
"Behaving myself? Uhh yeah, of course!" He laughed nervously, attempting to change the subject. "You know me, always behaving myself...and stuff."

Tilting her head, she almost ignores his stuttered reply going back to admiring his tattoos. "I see, I like them, they are pretty." She smiles up at him and flicks a few drops of water at his nose playfully.
"Am I allowed to call them pretty?" She chuckles putting both of her paws on each of his legs, letting her paws slip to sit over his paws, her own paws small compared to his, she admired the colours of their paws together.
"Taradhia, you'll always be my friend right?" It was an odd question, she knew that, she didn't even mean to ask it, she just suddenly felt she needed to, what if these tattoos were a wish to fly away? "You won't leave me will you? I'd miss you if you went away."

She liked them! That was very good news indeed, and it made him very happy. He laughed and playfully splashed her back, before smiling widely, suddenly having the confidence to tell her their true meaning. "You may call them pretty if you want to." He was about to go on, when she said something that caused a surprised look to appear on his face. Why would she say something like that? "Of course we will be. I'd never leave you."
Saying that, he moved to gently nuzzle her face. At that point, he lowered his head a little, as he started going all shy again. "You're my best friend, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a tattoo that shows that to others. These tattoos were done for you."

Nosing the big hairy boy back the silver lioness smiled a broad, pretty smile and licked the tip of his nose. "You're my best friend too Taradhia." She whispers, turning her blue eyes to her toes, she had been so afraid the birds meant he would fluy the coop so to speak. "I thought maybe the birds meant you would want to travel away from here..." She pauses and a flush raises on her white cheeks as he tells her the truth.
"They are for me?" Her deep, baby blue eyes look up in to soft lilac orbs and she traces a claw, gently over one of the bird tattoos following the line carefully. "We, we should spend more time together Taradhia." She mumbles, feeling shy and lost around her best friend was very unlike the blue tattooed lioness. "I don't want you to go." she whispers her eyes still cast down in embarrassment, her paw now resting upon the pretty bird tattoo that symbolised their friendship.

Now things were just starting to get weird. Neither of the young friends seemed to fully understand what it is they felt for each other, or if they did, maybe they were just afraid to admit it. At the mention of 'flying away', Taradhia shook his head lightly. "This is where I belong. My home is here...with you."
The white male could sense the awkwardness between him and friend, but it wasn't exactly a bad thing. They were finally being awakened to their true feelings for one another, so the awkwardness would surely pass soon enough. When Terema spoke about spending more time together, Taradhia nodded. "Yes we should." He smiled. "I would love to spend all my time with you."

Terema looked up at the pale male once again, admiring his sandy mane and lilac eyes, his soft coloured nose and the tattoos which told their stories. "I'd love to spend all of my time with you too Taradhia!"
She giggles and sits up resting her forehead under his chin and on his mane she purrs happily. "As long as you're staying here.." She gulps and closes her eyes. "I'v always thought of you as my best friend Taradhia but, but well, you're more than my best friend now." She wriggles her feet a bit taking a deep, calming breath. "I think, I more than like you.." At that moment it was the best she could muster, more than like,s he felt shy and awkward even admitting that, okay Taradhia wanted to spend his time with her, but maybe he still only thought of her as his best friend. She needed to hear his thoughts on the matter, then maybe she could tell him about the butterflies in her stomach and the dry feeling in her mouth, the heavy beating of her heart at the mere thought of spending all her time with him, she LOVED him, she knew that, but was she allowed to admit it?

When Terema came to rest her head under his chin, Taradhia lightly rested his head on top of hers. Although they had always been very touchy-feely with each other, that was only in play. This was the first time that they had gotten this close to each other without play-fighting. It felt a bit strange, but at the same time it felt very nice.
As Terema struggled to get her words out, Taradhia remained silent. He was taking everything that she said in, and considering it carefully. If she more than liked him, did that mean she...loved him? If it did, then this could only be good news, as Taradhia believed that he felt exactly the same way. "I, I...I love you too."

The silvery lioness lets a slow, happy sigh roll over her lips, hearing it from him was like music to her ears, lifting her head she touches her nose to Taradhia "I'v loved you for a long time Taradhia." She smiles, her perfect blue eyes dancing happily, this was all she ever wanted, to simply be with Taradhia and live happily in the lands she loved.
"You have to come and see my family." She beams her tail swaying happily. "If you're going to be a part of it, everyone needs to know." She flickers her deep dark tail tuft and leans happily against him. "Well, maybe later." She smiles closing her eyes and happily resting with Taradhia, at last, they had admitted what they felt, at last, they could be together!

Taradhia could feel his cheeks blushing underneath his fur when Terema lifted her head to nuzzle his nose. Obviously the pair had cared about each other for as long as they could remember, but only now had it reached the next level. "Me too." It was almost a relief really, to know that she felt for him the exact same thing as he felt for her.
"Your family?" Terema's father was the leader of the Ela'wadiyi, which was obviously a very big deal. Taradhia knew that he was a wonderful leader though, and so he wasn't too worried about meeting him. At the same time though, he would like a bit of time to prepare. "Yes, later sounds good. For now, lets just enjoy this time together." He was positive that they were going to have a happy life together from this day forward. All the other details would just have to wait.
(( Finished! ))
