It was a day like every other... Nyoka was up in her tree.. See. Some things were just adaptable. Dysi had shown her that climbing up a tree was quite easy and it would protect one from some dangers. Sometimes even protect prey so she listened to him.. Just like she did with everything else. All the things he said to her.. in the back of her head she did it. He was kind but Nyoka was far far from that.. she still had the same mind as before. ALL MEN were toys.. used for gaining things unlike female lioness whom hunt. SHE.. wouldn't hunt unless she was in the nitty gritty.
Her eyes lingered... bored of the same place. She wanted to be with Dysi and run with him and stay by his side.. she yearned for him now.. but she just didn't realize it... Just side thoughts of him. Like.. he had a white coat.. and remembered how he cleaned it SO often... like a girl.
When she was just about to close her eyes to sleep.. she thought she saw him. What she would claim in the future as HERS. Her head rose elegantly and fixed her sight on a white splodge in the area.. What a good cover? Dysi could wear it~ and he hunted quite well. She on the other hand had to wait til night fall.. IF she didn't have anyone else to do it for her.
"Hmmm...~" She hummed.. her ears up so she can home in on sound.. a voice. She wouldn't declare this figure Dysi unless she could hear'm.

 Linje wandered the lands as he examined his surroundings without much interest. He was looking for a challenge, something that he found rather hard to come by. Challenges made his life interesting, and as of now... he was completely bored.
The leopard's deep purple eyes flicked towards the sky as he sensed a change in lighting. A thick, gray cloud had concealed the sun. Linje paused just for a moment to watch the figure glide across the sky in slow motion. He wondered if the gods would gift the land with rain. That would be a relief from the terribly hot weather... but Linje couldn't stand the mud. It was worse than dirt, always soiling his perfect, glistening fur.
As he continued, the leopard spotted a tree not far from his location. He decided that would be his destination until his eyes fixed on the dark blue figure resting in its' branches. Linje grunted, not quite in the mood for company. Perhaps that could be his challenge for the day; to chase away this cheetah so he could have the tree for himself.

Sadly.
It was not dysi but someone whom looked so closely like him... With the white fur.. and the bits of blue.. A smirk crossed her as she lifted her chest up. Eyes slicking to him in a stalk like manner but slitted enough to seem like if she was asleep. Tail flicking side to side as if waiting for her prey to creep closer. Seeing a cheetah in a tree was one thing... but one that would now pose as if she were asleep with an ongoing predator at her hind legs? Oh... how good of an actor she was and to top it off.
Blood has covered half of the branches from a catch of a couple days ago... which might give the tree some smell... to attract more then she could handle.. but. Maybe it was all in her plan..
"Oh here kitty~ kitty~ here kitty kitty~"
She called in her head as she watched..

Linje swept an extra sharp-looking stone aside as he approached the tree. He expressed his annoyance with a grunt and a snort as the motion caused dust to pollute his vision. The leopard gazed up at the trunk as he arrived, eying the feline resting in its branches. For the most part, she was blue. Dark blue, but that's all he could determine from this angle. With a few swift leaps, Linje appeared on the thick arm Nyoka was lounging on, taking no notice to the blood.
Of course. Linje thought to himself, rolling his eyes as Nyoka's appearance became distinct. The cheetah is female. Not that it was necessarily a bad thing. As long as she seemed captivated by his charm, the leopard wasn't threatened by her. "You there. Blue thing." He made certain that his deep voice was just booming enough to wake her. "It's time you departed. You're damaging my view of the savannah."
The male cocked his head in such a manner that would cause his fur to glisten in the sunlight. He positioned himself so he would appear to be the superior and gorgeous creature he was. He thought of himself like a king... and expected her to treat him as such.

Her head rose in a gentle manner.. Her actress face.. was now kind and smiled at her visitor. "Blue thing?" She looked around.. as though she didn't notice any blue thing. "Why.. what would disturb an..amazingly beautiful......." She tried to resist saying 'female'.. but only slightly giggled. "Don't mind me.... I shall be like.. a branch.. " Pretending to blush.
"May I.. just lay her just a bit more.. I hope my presence isn't that much a disturbance..." She looked at him with soft eyes.. A soft green.. More to allure him.. with the way her eyes were. This prey of hers was cocky~ wooo feisty.. wanting her to leave? Not before she had a crack at him. He tried a bit too hard, letting him set up... oh he would be one that she would have to ACT NICE. Such things she hated.. it took so much energy not to lash out at such stuck up males. Her head leaned towards him as if she were humble and letting him persuade her to believe that he was beautiful.

A deep frown creased Linje's face as the cheetah spoke. His lazy eyelids fell halfway across his eyes, while his brow slowly elevated. It was a clear sign of displeasure. She was out of her place to defy him, but the impulse to rake his claws across her face was tamed by her gentle green eyes. They reminded him of someone he used to love. Yet, this didn't quite excuse her from the offense. Linje exuded a sound that could best be described as a purring snarl as his turquoise-tipped tail dangled and swayed from the branch.
"You will do as I say if you value your fur." He tilted his head graciously, as if to warn her for next time. "But if you insist, perhaps you could benefit yourself with my company." A smirk crept across his lips as he gracefully turned away and chose his own branch to rest on. It had to be just above Nyoka's, so he could properly enforce his authority.
Linje inspected the tree's arm before lowering his white form. A paw swept its way across the fur on the leopard's head as he began to groom himself. "My name is Linje." He said simply, without turning to look at her. "It would do you good to remember it."

She watched from the very edge of her eyes at what he was doing.. Oh. He needed his ego to be stroked more and more.. a high maintance one she saw in the near future.
"Yes.. your suprior beauty is that too much for me to bare so close..~~" She rang her voice and slowly picked herself up and hopped on an even lower branch.. But not too far from him to not be able to hear him if he happened to call her.
"I'll remember next time to not not offend such a lovely leopard as yourself... Linje..~" His name rolled off her tongue- a kindred smile and an absorbed look of comfort for the other's presence. "My name.. is Nyoka.. Nice to be in your company~" Her voice was lower when she referred to her name but highened at the ending of her sentence.
"And you WILL remember mind.. there is no option." She said in her head as her beautifully kind face leaned back a little to catch a glimpse of him. Then looked out to the savannah- the sun's rays echoing dark spots along her body to have some shine where others were dim... making a rippling effect on her fur. She.. was different.. a color not most had and wouldn't like to be flaunted but she perferred it.. it made easiest to go through watering holes and catch prey as fast or event faster than most.
Bowing her head a moment to give him that simple gratification.. Then to lay her head down... a formal way as her tail made little to no effect or being seen.. just a gentle sway occassionally. When night falls.. a plan to stalk prey was in mind but .. if there was another there- she might get the king to show him his stuff.. a big prey~ to show his supriority. She giggled at the thought.

"Don't push it. Flattery will get you nowhere." Linje's lips curled as he gazed halfheartedly in Nyoka's direction. His voice was stern and forceful, with the slightest hint of an agressive growl. It was only half a lie. Though he did enjoy being reminded that he was flawless, the female was over doing it. It was rare, if not, impossible that he encountered anyone that would behave like this... it was almost like a fairy tale... or a dream. Suddenly, Linje's was intrigued by the creature. She wasn't a threat, she already made that clear. The leopard pushed his scrambled thoughts aside, deciding it was no use to make any sense of them. Instead, he returned his attention to the female.
"Nyoka." Linje stated simply as the cheetah revealed her name. "How can you enjoy my company when you are at such a distance? Please, come a little closer. I'm confident you won't soil my air all too much." He let out a hearty laugh to lighten the mood. For him, the tension dissipated. All that anxiety surely wasn't healthy for his coat, anyway. Linje allowed one of his hind legs to gracefully swing from his branch. His tail swayed in the cheetah's direction, as if to invite her to rest in the wooden limb beside his own.
A faint glaze appeared over his eyes as he divulged himself in his puzzling thoughts again. Maybe the compliments were a mask to win his favor. A gentle smile flickered across his face as he admired Nyoka's rippling fur. Or perhaps, Linje thought hopefully, she's genuine. He watched the sleek form meticulously as she moved. He longed to behold those soft green eyes again.

An impish smile grew as she lifted herself up on his command but. To only turn and look at him like a kindhearted cat she played herself to be. "It's only the truth... A flattery is for painters of lies.." She said softly as she slowly.. and temptingly followed his tail.. "I won't be too much of a pollution to you?" Her voice imitating a kind and sweet like being with a soft added giggle at the end. One whom told NO lies.. one to put all your trust in..
And then.. from not ever looking straight in to his eyes.. when she was in the branch exactly below him. She looked up to him. Bringing her gaze upon his 'strong' eyes. A softness that no one could whip up in a flash but this was many years of experience. With just one glance before casting her gaze away..
"To be in your presence is equally enjoyable when all my senses are filled with your smell~ " She leaned forward on the branch- but it didn't bend.. her body weight was that too thin to break it as she slowly .. and alluringly took residence in the same branch .. behind him where the bark of the tree could touch her hind feet as she laid in a more. Royal like way.. Not like him but the air around her was different than his. Softer.. More feminine like. The ripples had moved across her fur so fast were now settling down as the sun was bathing its rays over them.. To be in a male's company again.. almost made her feel at home... but not like Dysi. Her body had given him soft touches.. As now she had grown to close herself within. Plus, everything about this male had now differed from her precious Dysi. His attitude. His perspective. His eyes towards her.. She felt it in her heart..
Emerald eyes scanning the nearby area as if nothing were happening on the inside of her. Zebu- and lions had made their way toward the far end to the east.. Almost where you couldn't see them as only a few zebras surrounded the nearby watering hole. She wouldn't propose him to catch her a meal yet.. no .. she would have to wait some time. Hold hunger until she had him wrapped in her web. His own view of himself would only be played against him in her game.
"I apologize if my words though.. have offended you.. my heart speaks before my mind does i'm afraid." Having a welcoming air to her.. come closer...come closer. She gave off a sigh as though she was disappointed in herself for giving him compliments to a stranger.

"There..." A gentle smile appeared on Linje's face as he watched Nyoka move so gracefully from branch to branch. "Isn't that better?" He chuckled, stroking his branch with a claw as he looked away for just a moment. "No, you won't be pollution to me. I think... you enhance the savanna. You're beautiful." It was definitely uncommon for him to compliment others, the kind words made him squirm uncomfortably... though every thread of honesty in Linje's being were expressed in them. Suddenly, he felt out of place. He was up in his tree - his throne... but there was a woman by his side. It was a good feeling, he decided, nodding to himself with relaxed eyelids.
Linje's smile reappeared as the cheetah complimented his scent. "Nyoka, I was -" He was cut short by that awkward feeling that abruptly surfaced again. He was about to apologize for trying to send her away from her tree... but, maybe it would have to wait. Instead, he shifted uneasily on his branch, turning his eyes to lock with hers. That look he gave her, it was an unmistakable compassion that dared Linje to tear his gaze away and sob. But, I'm stronger than that. He had to convince himself that he was superior, otherwise he'd just become a weak, pathetic, no-good lump of fur. Precisely the thing he despised most. A shudder wracked Linje's body, caused by his thoughts as well as Nyoka's tender aura. It was almost too much to bear.
A frown replaced his grin as he followed Nyoka's green eyes towards the savannah. Did she want to leave? Was she tired of his company already? Had he offended her somehow? Linje panicked inwardly, but remained completely composed outwardly. If she was to leave, he'd be alone like he wanted to in the first place... But, if he commanded her to stay, she'd have no choice. But, the company just wouldn't be the same if she was with him against her will. Damnit, Linje, you think to much. Silvery fur glimmered on Linje's neck as he rested his head against his paws with a sigh. He hid his frown, his sadness, because it was a weakness.
Linje's white ears swiveled towards the cheetah after a brief pause. She hasn't left? No, she's apologizing. A grin returned, masking his melancholy attitude. He rose his head, looking down at the female with as much power and majesty as he could gather. "You are forgiven." His deep voice hummed through the air, as if it was a privilege - No, an honer to ever hear such words come from his lips. In that instant, all doubts of his excellence had vanished. I am truly gracious. Why wouldn't anyone want to be by my side?
"So then... won't you tell me a little about yourself?" Linje asked her, leaning in with such longing in his voice. It didn't matter if she spoke or not, Linje would be content with just staring into her green eyes for the rest of the day, and into the night.

Her emerald eyes had allowed her to see many things. Things to work in her advantage.. But prey would be hard to come by if the zebra herd would leave before she could have a chance at sinking her teeth in them but her thoughts were stopped when he told her she was beautiful. "Beautiful?" She mimicked in an awkward way.. She had not heard that before... only when a male was already spending the night though... It made HIM feel better but this time. She wasn't even in this male's clutches yet and already he said such kind words? No.... He is just toying and she wouldn't be caught off guard.
Then when she stayed quiet yet again he seemed to tense as she looked to gaze over at him.. but it was always cut short when she looked out to the savanna.
Something was going on and she didn't quite know what ...yet. But as soon as she had apologized he did an 180. Oh he said the thing that would only raise her fur up.. Tempting to ail a terrible blow to her pride.. But then again. He didn't know her! So in her head.. this fursona she was playing was someone different but that dreaded questions.... 'tell me about yourself..' Came in to play.
That's when she took her time to look at him once more... Almost in innocent questionable look. "About myself? .... I.. don't have much to say..Except... I don't have a place to call home. Anything to my name... Like a canvas but I don't know how to paint.." But her eyes didn't stop looking at him. "Unless you know how to paint- I would be most grateful." She laughed humbly and she smiled so kindly but sadly. It was suppose to be some sort of joke but was reality. "...and a little exhausted of running.. but... when I meet others..like you." She stopped .. she wasn't answering his question.. she was running around the question- she didn't want him to get close. Not like Dysi had.. making her feel vulnerable. "I believe, it to give me a little strength to carry on...and somehow. Find a home." Closing her eyes to genuinely smile.. but that smile had hidden intent. One to mask the loneliness in being forever a rogue- running from whomever got close to her heart.. Such things could kill a female if she was not careful.
"What about..you. What is your story.. Handsome Linje. Tell me who you are." She leaned forward.. almost touching him but not. Her head slightly up to give her eye contact with him. When they did lock he had an unmistakenable feel to him.. Those eyes.. what did they want from her? Did he want to fall in to her life.. her heart? Of course she couldn't let that happen.. someone had already swept her heart without her even knowing! But it seemed.. he wasn't at all what he had first try to indicate.. something about him. A side more delicate and in need of someone.. That she would use.. to somehow ease her loneliness as well. To pretend to be the one for him.. right? That's what she always did?

The intensity in Linje's eyes enhanced as Nyoka began speaking. He basked in every word, and closing his eyes, even to regain moisture, was out of the question. It was silly, but he feared that if he blinked, he would never see her again. She'd just... disappear into thin air. What a childish belief. Yet, it was inevitable. He blinked, but was relieved to find that she hadn't left.
"My story is quite similar." A confident grin emerged as he was questioned about his past. The cheetah leaned in, almost touching him. It was almost like she was teasing him... Linje shivered, but quickly regained his composure. "It's like an endless journey across the rogue lands. Nothing to give, nothing to take. Well... Almost nothing..." A white paw swept across the bark to rest on the leopard's chest. "We all have at least one thing to our names. Our flesh and fur... but behind it... a heart." He smiled faintly, returning his paw to its original position as he let the silence enhance the profundity of his words. When he continued, his voice was much more powerful.
"In my life and wanderings, I've met a lot of other creatures. A lot of cheetahs.. Leopards... The list goes on. But yet, I've never met anyone quite like you." Linje gazed at his branch, a claw scraping across its' bark as he paused for just a second. "If I'd had the skill to paint my canvas, perhaps I wouldn't be here. So maybe, it's a blessing. And maybe..." He returned his twinkling purple eyes to hers as a genuine and selfless smile stretched across his face. "Maybe we can learn to paint together. Maybe we can share a canvas."
A strange, and almost painful anxiety gripped his chest as he finished. His breathing slowed drastically in anticipation of her response. This was the moment of make or break, but Linje never realized how terribly painful it could be inside. It was almost as if he was dying. Yes, that's exactly it, dying to hear her answer. Linje gently shut his eyes, masking the stress with a composed and regal expression.

She refined her looked a moment.. Taking a few paw swipes as she pawed it against her face. To only look at the one whom had residence near her. She a good actress does not need breaks... But when the curtain goes down..
"To share a canvas?" She hadn't heard of one sharing a life with another. No.. There were always others that got in the way.. Sharing a life with just ONE other? Things she had not heard of. Was not accustomed to.
She looked at him, tilting her head with an almost angelic look to her."Are you saying..... you will stay...with me?" She questioned him as she slowly- as though she FELT unreal and slowly leaned towards him..
"Maybe.. we could try." Her voice low.. Ears stuck to her head to show her as such a kind being and feeling soft because of his words. Kind. She was almost starting to trick herself.. and believe it.

"That's exactly what I'm saying." Linje struggled to keep himself from bursting with joy as the cheetah finally shattered the silence with her reply. Now he was confident she'd stay with him. Not only was he completely irresistible, but he deserved to have a... Linje paused his thoughts. What is she to him? An accessory? A companion? Friend? No, none of these words fit. The leopard failed to identify the proper term for their relationship. But, whatever it was now, Linje was certain it'd bloom into something even more merry and beautiful.
"It's amazing..." Linje said faintly, mostly just thinking out loud. "I never would have thought I'd meet someone like you today. And to think I tried to make you leave when I first arrived." His voice dissipated into an inaudible whisper. Silvery white ears flicked back as he realized she might be listening. He tilted towards her, leaning in so his blue nose almost touched her equally blue fur. "I'll treasure you, Nyoka." Linje gently swept his tongue across her cheek, recoiling to observe the effect it had on the female. She was doubtlessly fortunate to be favored by him.

"Oh?..." She said.. and in a slow manner as she brought her head up. Food.. Her ears went up and her body started to balance itself as she was in some crouching stance... seeing the watering hole. "You'll have to show me." Looking at him with a very beautiful but serious face.. As she slowly took one step as the branch moved only so slightly.. Then her whole body just darted down. Like a cat~ that she was, all her paws found the ground.. Graceful and beautiful like she was... as her body straightened out and looked across the way.. Ears flat as she took a few steps forward only to look back at whom brought her ears soft words..
Was he really like this? Or the male she met before- whom rushed her out.
She was wondering if he was even worth it.. Was he even close to Dysi? She wondered if this was the way to go.. being so long without him. "Prove it." As she saw a water-buffalo single out of its pack as she stuck her eyes in it's direction. What stupid fat animal would do such a thing.. It's death was already in her paws now.. But she wouldn't be the one to kill'm that's for sure. "Can you hunt~" She said in a taunting way.
