(6:00:35 PM): It was probably when Dysi came and left the pride.. Or. Her little sacred place for now.. Soon it would be a pride. Soon.. Slowly she brought herself out of the den.. A light yawn before tossing her head up. A soft tail wag to her purr.. She was preganant and was semi showing it in the length of her stomach.. She was much more quiet but easily irriatetd. But that didn't stop her from moving around.. Waiting to call Enzi to go get her food.
(6:05:40 PM): Vailea stretched her lil' muscles, as she uncurled herself. The little hybrid had curled up against a particularly comfy rock, after doing some exploring. She'd taken the oppurtunity since her Daddy Dysi was thoroughly asleep. He'd never let her wander around on her own. Let alone.. go to the bathroom alone at night. But Vailea figured she hadn't gone too far from home.
(6:22:55 PM): Slowly she looked down.. She had accumulated several single minded grunts.. Enzi usually was particularly right outside her door but this time.. he wasn't. Suspecting he would have already gone out for food.. she slowly made her way down the the rocky roade to the spring that traveled through their lands.. Only dysi knew this was here.. along with selective few. Traveling down as she saw the many empty dens,... soon would be filled in her dreams..
(6:30:03 PM): Vailea surveyed her surroundings, and swallowed a few times. She was thirsty. It was abit of a dry day today, so Vailea attributed that to her dry throat. But, for all she knew, it might've because she hadn't been nibbling on her Dad's tail like she usually did. She wandered along amongst the rocks and dirt, trying to find a place to drink.
(7:52:11 PM): As soon as she was about to near and dip her head she heard a rock fall.. With Nyoka. She knew exactly where everything was.. Upon already visiting and scenting the place. She turned harshly as she knew the rock was stepped on to fall.. When her eyes saw the said hyrbid.. she lowly growled.. and turned entirely to head for the cub.. Around their father.. they were good and she was calm but without.. they were just another cub. Especially when it was behind her back.. "What..are you doing out of the den.." Her head rose and a regal voice gave out.
(8:00:42 PM): Vailea froze when she heard Nyoka speak, she froze like a burgler that was caught in the search light. The thought had crossed her fuzzy little head, to pretend that she was a furry rock. But, Vailea didn't think that would work all that well. " Umm.. "
(8:10:54 PM): She crept closer. "Well~" She cuued at the hybird.. Smelling immediately the mother's scent.. Like a betrayal that is continuously shoved at her face but because of love.. She had overlooked it. Being pregnant herself and these cubs potenialy having siblings in the near future. "Speak up. Why have you left the den." When she was standing over her.. she dipped her head and nudged the cub's face.
(8:15:53 PM): " I was thirsty and wanted to look around. " Vailea in a innocent, but rather honest tone. Hopefully being honest would let her not in too much trouble, as opposed to lieing. though, the lil' hairball couldn't really forsee herself ever lying. Lying always got others into trouble, and she knew it. Although, venturing from the den also always earned trouble points.
(8:41:45 PM): "I see.." She lowered her head and nudged her again.. curling around the cub and slowly pricked the back of her neck. Holding her by the extra fur behidn it as she took the cub to the spring. When alone.. she could be either deadly.. or hints of a motherly type. The small form dangling from her maw until she met with the spring.. She sat. Then slowly put down the cub in front of her.. only a few steps away from the spring. Watching.. And in silence.
(8:50:32 PM): Vailea seemed to enjoy the short ride to the spring, being so high up made her feel tall. Even when she knew she wasn't. Once her small paws met with the ground again, she looked up at Nyoka happily. A wide, childish smile on her face. " Thank you~ " the little brown hybrid said cutely. Vailea nuzzled the closest part of the larger cheetah, and since Nyoka's leg was closest; that's what she nuzzled. It was a short nuzzle, but still rather loving. Aftwerwards she took a few steps and got a drink from the spring, which was really refreshing to her.
(8:56:25 PM): Nyoka was.. rather odd. Feeling when she was touched and nuzzled by the cub on her own will. Only one other Dysi child would do that ... in times to come. For now.. this was one of the only cubs that seemed to show her affection.. Where here. They were safe. She watched as she was nuzzled.. not knowing exactly how to take it.. as she got up and leaned over to lap the water as well. Now seeing the major difference in size.. a cub.. Lapping it.. and even if the sight looked like another female.. the hints of Dysi were pleasant but hurtful.. Something this cub wouldn't understand til later.. She closed her eyes and let her ears go back as she lapped more and when she stopped.She rose her head up to look about... She loved this land that was safe for her and the future of her life.. and the cubs to inhabit this place.
(9:06:27 PM): Vailea sat up once she'd had enough of the cool water to drink. Her small belly feeling abit bloated. She hadn't realized that she'd been that thirsty, but you never know until you drink something. She looked around, everything seemingly interesting in it's own special way.
(9:30:09 PM): When she stopped hearing the female drink. She looked down.. "Now.. off to the den with you." Nudging her with a paw almost uncaring like.. as she moved the opposite way of the den.. Nearing to where the rocks led up to the top of the huge mountain of rock.. She needed to watch over her lands.. want to know what is going on and what needed to be done. Like hunting.. while knowing a group of grunts have already headed out to do so.. But everything starts out small.
(9:39:02 PM): Vailea watched the older female walk off away from where the den was. She almost pouted a little, " Why can't I go exploring with you? " If she headed back to the den on her own, the cub would get side tracked and wander off. Perhaps ending up further away then intially thought. Then she'd be on her own. Atleast if she were with an adult, everything would be okay. Vailea didn't really want to go back to the den. She'd been bitten by the bored bug, and just wanted to go see what was outside.
(9:41:26 PM): Nyoka's eyes reverted to the small cub. Almost annoyed... She wasn't like Enzi. The cute slobbering boy whom did what ever she said without fail. This was a cub of another kind. "Exploring? With me?" She questioned. "I won't be exploring. I'll be looking out. Any signs of danger.." A soft voice tried to cox the cub in to it being a dangerous thing.. Scary even.
(9:51:15 PM): " I can help look out for bad stuff. Four eyes are better then two. " Vailea didn't seeming to be afraid. Four had to be better than two, right? Four is a bigger number. The lil' earth coloured hybrid stood and kept looking a Nyoka, waiting for an answer. To the cub, even being a look out would still be exploring to her.
(9:58:43 PM): Nyoka looked sternly at the cub.. but she seemed.. So interested in it.. And her words were somewhat strong. "If you get hurt.. you were'nt with me." She tossed her head asside. Starting to walk up the paths.. Her words ment she would let the cub come along.. but if she get hurt. She had no relations to her being hurt and that Nyoka would obviously save her.. except no blame to Nyoka for taking her. "Don't get left behind neither."
(9:59:28 PM): Athletic- the cheetah made her way up the rocky paths and even jumped in a few ridges.. until there was another bland path that she could walk all the way up to. Her blue and teal tail taunting the hybird to follow.
(10:07:49 PM): Vailea happily trailed after Nyoka, a bounce her step. She kept up with the bigger cheetah the best her little legs could. Her energy didn't seem to stop, but perhaps she just had a lot of energy due to sleeping for so many hours. If the cub happened to get hurt, she knew that would be her fault. She was the one who wanted to come along, and had been.. sorta warned.
(10:20:54 PM): When the path eased and she could just walk and stride up.. she looked behind her.. Seeing the cub trailing after her like a pup. Somehow.. she smiled internally. So much energy in such a lil being.. she slowed her steps so the other could possibly catch up. Her tail kept taunting. "Are you being a burden so far behind?"~ She said in a soft.. calling voice.. A smirk.
(10:43:41 PM): Vailea trudged along, managing to catch up to the bigger female after a bit. She was close enough that the tip of Nyoka's tail tickled her lil' nose, making her sneeze cutely. " I'm not a burden. I caught up to you, so I'm not one. "
(10:53:48 PM): "Mmmhmm." Nodding. "You don't ever want to be a burden to another.. Only a gift for others.." She chimed as she kept walking up the path until evenusaully it opened up to the whoel canyon looking top. Where she could easily see the ring forest of protection in the pride. The beautiful form catching the edge in a sit.. Her neck rose straight as she looked .. and then her tail extended next to her in a feeling to catch the cub if she almost fell. Itd be a long..long way down.
(11:05:30 PM): Once Vailea was on top of the Canyon with Nyoka, she was struck with awe. She saw that the world was huge. Bigger than she'd thought. A lot bigger than she thought. It made the hybrid cub feel even smaller than she already felt. But, though the site was huge for her eyes to behold, it was also beautiful in it's own way. Although, as she tip toes somewhat to the edge, Vailea huddled abit close to the ground. She noted as she carefully peered out that it was.. a very..long way down.
(11:15:11 PM): "The trick.. is to not look directly down but away to see the view.. Unless your eye catches the forest moving oddly. That would mean an intruder." Introducing the various ways to seek.. She didn't care about the scenery. She found it boring and unmeaningful since she had always had better things to do. Her tail padding at the edge. "If you get to close.. the rock can possibly be loose and fall under you. Thats why a safe distance of a few feet are in order for seeking."
(11:23:56 PM): Vailea listened to what was being spoken, and scootched back a little. The cub tried to take to heart the words that had been spoken to her, but being youth it was somewhat hard to accomplish. She peered out at the forest line, silently wondering what was in there too.
(11:32:21 PM): "...." Her tail tauntingly pushed her a lil forward but of course this was the same tail that curled around the cub's stomach and held her over the edge. "And that...means you need to establish whom is friend and whom is foe when a seeker.." Then her tail recoiled the cub in to Nyoka's forearms. Curling close to her now in the safe away from the edge.. "Understand?"
