 Powerfully lean legs burned with a firey intensity as Jolteon came to a slow stop. Each step killed her spirit more than the last, but what could she do?
Panting, Jolteon navigated the path to a small, exposed watering hole and collapsed. A little nap couldn't hurt...but then again, maybe it could. Surveillance was key. She took a quick look around, violet eyes scanning the horizon, but either she didn't see anything or she didn't care.
Nap. Now.

Aminah was rather tired herself. She'd been out all night and was now looking for somewhere to settle down. And where better than a watering hole? Get a cool drink, relax in the sunlight, get some sleep, it sounded perfect.
However, as the lioness approached, she spotted something rather unexpected. There was a half dead looking cheetah right by the water. "Excuse me, are you all right?" the white female inquired, leaning over to look at the other curiously.

Jolt yawned and rolled over lazily, opening her eyes just a fraction. What she saw wasn't what she was expecting. The lioness stuck out like a sore thumb on this landscape, and for a moment all she could do was stare.
"A little tired, but I'm fine." She rolled up into a lounge position with her face further back away from the others. "I appreciate the concern and all, but who are you?"

"Hm? Oh. I'm Aminah. And you?" she asked, leaning forward to take her drink now that it seemed the other was all right. She was a bit thirsty after all, and she'd come here to get a drink and rest right?
"I don't think I've seen many cheetahs in this state. What'd you do exactly?" not that she'd seen many cheetahs AT ALL, so really, that was an awkward question.

Jolteon's slender tail flipped up like a curious snake before floppign back onto the dirt. "Jolteon, friends call me Jolt." She answered curiously before sitting up straighter. "Oh, really? I was just doing what I do naturally; running. It's in my blood."
Now, it was her turn to ask a question that had been nagging her. "What about you? I thought lions lived in prides."

"Oh! I guess I'm just not that familiar with cheetahs then, Jolt!" Aminah laughed at that, leisurely laying on the ground now that her thirst was sated.
"Yes, we do, but I'm looking for a new pride." she explained, "My pride held values I didn't really care for and my family and I felt I should find a home that suited me better. Plus I wanted to travel."

The cheetah leisurely laid back against the cool back with one side in the water and the other on the land. She looked at lioness upside down, violet eyes intrigued. "That makes sense. My mother felt that I should settle down and I felt that it wasn't the right time for me." She grinned. "Still isn't, but now that I'm on my own, I don't have to worry about things like that."

"Pff, tying down someone like you? That'd take a miracle." the lioness joked, grinning at the cheetah. "Someone'd have to catch you first, ne?"

Jolteon smirked and rolled over onto her stomach, her indigo eyes glowing mischeviously. "Exactly. I'm fast as lightning. Zip, zap, zoom!" She zapped her paws together chidlishly before laughing. It really was a weird concept, but one that brought her comfort. She didn't need a mother, a family, a man or even a home to make her happy. Life was good; so what was better than that?
"So, if you ever need anyone to check out the local prides for a quick scope, you know who to look out for." She winked.

The white lioness laughed, nodding her head a bit at the comment. "I'll have to remember that." she agreed, "You'd probably have fun zooming by all of the prides to spy on them."

"Nah, I like exploring too much. It's in my nature." Jolteon stood up lazily and yawned, stretching out her front paws as her skinny body flexed. "You've been great company and all, but it's to boogy. Peace be with you, and best of luck in the future." As was customary, she bowed her head and took off at a light jog before running lightly.
It was funny, how one simple conversation could give you enough energy to kick back into sprints. But a pride? How crazy! Who needed to be tied down?
