Nuala stretched, yawning wide as she wiggled into the sun a little more. She was enjoying the time out from under the trees and away from the dappled shade of the forest. It wasn't that she didn't love her home, but every now and then a little sun and a little quiet was more then welcomed.
Yawning again, she rolled over onto her back, all four paws to the wind, and deepened her stretch, a indulgent smile on her muzzle, and a content gleam in her green jeweled eyes. Yes, today was a perfect day to be alive, warm sun, comfy resting spot, full belly....Here she frowned, well..maybe not a full belly...sighing regretfully, the leopardess realized she was going to have to hunt for herself this afternoon,
How very droll...

There was one who was already on the hunt. For being such a big male and the number of miles he covered each day, he had to hunt fairly often and had grown skilled at locating decent prey. Though for now he was merely thinking about it and not quiet set on his path.
Head up and stride smooth he walked along, following the edge of the forest but avoiding straying into the closed-in area of the trees. His size and strength were far more suited to the wide open savannah. After a while something caught his attention, the scent of leopard. Curious and sine his paws were carrying him closer to the source, he let himself draw close to where the female was stretched out.

Nuala perked up when her green eyes caught sight of tall, dark, and yum as he came padding up toward her sunning spot. She let out a soft purr and rolled back over onto her belly, before pushing her self up on her front paws to get a better look at him.
He was handsome, and strong looking, with such unusual markings. Nuala wondered idly if he was wearing a mask or if that was his natural coloring. The Groundlings green eyes roamed over him, her appetite completly forgotten as another more carnal one became for front in her mind.
Giving him a very welcoming smile, the leopardess sat up, her tail flicking back and forth behind her in a lazy, slow dance.

As the female sat up, amber eyes lowered to her. He had known she was close but not exactly where until she had moved, and now he gave a little head-bob in greeting. It was not uncommon to run across other lone rogues out here, but for some reason, he had the feeling she was part of a pride, she just didn't seem like most rogues he had met.
Of course she was female, and his quest was never far form his mind, but as he waited for a vision, he already knew in his heart that she was not one of the ones who called to him.
"Greetings.." He called in his low, calm voice, politely.

Nuala gave him a winning smile, her tail still dancing behind her, petite ears flick forward as she returned his salutations, " Greetings to you as well fine sir."
The leopardess watched him like she would a gazelle, his every movement fascinating her, and that beautiful mask of color across his muzzle and eyes, and he was polite too...how FUN!

As he drew to a halt, he felt her unwavering gaze on his fur. There was something about her.. something, well, not intimidating, but certainly a strong presence.. but what was it? Tilting his head slightly he glanced round. There was no prey in this area, but the scent of other cats did linger... so it was a pride?
Only on way to find out...
"May I ask which pride lives round here?"

The rose colored leopardess raised a delicate paw and waved it over in the direction of the plains that skirted the edge of the forest. " The Suko'fuma live that direction over there, but we all live in under the canopied trees. The ones like me anyway."
She jumped down from the rock with a other worldly grace, seeming to land as if she had wings that alighted her to earth softly, " I am called Nuala, and you are....?"
Nuala paced around him, her look coy as she let her gaze wander along his heavily muscled shoulders, and full mane.
OH! How delightful, it isn't a mask...its his fur! The Groundling purred her pleasure at finding this tid bit out.

Sliabh looked over in the direction she had indicated, but then turned back to the leopardess, in time to watch her stalk round him.
"So you aren't one of the 'Suko'fuma?" He asked, turning to watch her as she paced round him, head swinging round as she crossed behind him to keep her in view. "Who are you with then?"
Suppressing the urge to either shiver, or run away, he stood still while the lioness stalked round him, muscles twitching under his sleek fur as he could feel her gaze raking his body.
Why did he get the feeling that he had just gone from predator to prey?

Nuala giggled, the sound like bird song, " Oh no...well, technically we are, but they are nothing like us."
She stopped back in front of him, a sultry smile on her muzzle. Tam Lin would just love this one, that is if she decided to share...pausing a moment to consider it, she giggled again, No Tam Lin could get his own toy. This one was hers!
" Are you hungry? There should be a meal out by now, and our stream is cool and clean. You look like you've been walking a long time, why not come rest?"
Nuala slid up next to him, her tail curling under his chin, " We love visitors....oh! and maybe Mabe will have a portion of her new play rehearse today. We can watch while we eat."

Well.. that was his answer then.. now to get the heck out of here...
As the female stopped before him, he took a slow step backwards, all ready to say his goodbyes and get his tail out of there, but then she asked a question and he was too polite to just ignore it.
"Uh.... " Lifting his chin as her tail tickled along the underside of his jaw, he frantically sought for a reason to leave. "I.. its alright.. I was going to hunt for myself..." With a sinking feeling he knew he was caught, though why she made him quite so wary he wasn't sure, aside form her rather flirty manner she should be relatively harmless, but despite what his mind was telling him, the fur on the back of his neck stood to attention and his tail twitched nervously.

'Nonsense," Nuala said, her green eyes sparkling with mirth, " there is no need for you to wear yourself out." She rubbed her head along his shoulder, smiling up at him whimsically.
" You'd not want to disappoint me would you?" the Groundling gave him a mock pout, " I do so love having guests, and really, you have to see the plays and other performances. I promise you won't be disappointed."
Nuala smiled up at him again, her pretty face lit up with the sunlight and the anticipation of having tall-dark-and-yum all to herself after the afternoon meal, of which she fully intended to follow up with him as desert.

Shifting uneasily on his paws, he could only gape at her, his mind full of uncertainty but at a complete loss as to how to get himself away with offending her. "I well..." Frantically he tried to think of a way out, but to his horror he heard his own voice give in to her. "I can't stay long... "
Ears pressing back he gazed at her, dismayed by his own actions but at a loss for anything other reply. Taking a breath he told himself it was just a meal, he would leave as soon as he could politely slip away.

Nuala clapped her paws together, her light laughter floating on the gentle breeze that ruffled his mane, a breeze that seemed to come out of nowhere. " Wonderful! Mabe and Tam Lin will be soooooo happy to meet you."
She looped her tail around his back paw, and gave him a quick lick on his cheek, purring slightly at the taste of him. Oh he is going to be such a treat! she thought as she began to lead him toward the forest, chatting away at him.
" Now, don't mind Mabe. She can get a little pawy, but it's all in good fun, and if any of the Smalls come up to you, just pat them on their little heads and send them off...OH! and be sure you......"
