[ Song Inspiration ]
The world was just so big, why was he stuck in a place where he knew wouldn't make a difference. Sure, he helped his brother and sister- even his brother's wife but since.. Katsuki left, things just never felt the same. He opt to looking around for him and made it a personal mission but it had been so long now. His feet were tired and his body was quivering from the cold of the mountain he went through for three days time.. Now in the jungle, he felt a lot more at home as he made his way through the thick greens.. The smells filling him.. some place far and wide was where he would call home.. He turned around with a wary look on his face as his thoughts were interrupted by the thought of someone following him.. His ears padded back as he slowed, then quickened and up a tree he went with a quickness and turned behind him in the branch. Lowering himself as he disappeared in to the darkness of the tree's shade..

 Sure. Of course there were plenty of stones of all colors and sizes and textures within the boundaries of her home, but she wanted to see if there was anything of unusual shape that she could use to either leave a little message for someone to find within the pride, or, depending on the shape, maybe could be put to use on some shrine or another. She wasn't slacking, she was being proactive. Even though she was off on her own, away from the paths that she normally stuck to, Nena wasn't worried. The day just felt like it would be a good one, a feeling she had pretty much woken up with. The leopardess was eager in her anticipation of the rocky treasures she may find on her long explore for the day. She hadn't undertaken any major projects back home so her claws were primed to create with little issue; meaning her marks would be clear, crisp, and easy to make so long as her nails held out. In fact, she was so enthused about her searching, she wasn't much bothering on checking if she was alone in her meanderings through the jungle. Nena was softly humming some childhood song to herself as she occasionally paused to scratch at the earth to see if there was anything of interest just beneath the surface. Oh! There was something here. Her scratching had scraped the top soil off of a small collection of rocks and pebbles, which she seemed to set herself to dislodging them from their earthen bed.

Could it be? He eyed closer and it wasn't that he was being followed... He was in someone's path. He laid in wait, still to watch for any hostility but he found non in the female whom waved her paw against the ground. Her form almost made him sink in his own fur. What beauty, he'd seen many females- mostly all cheetahs but to see this creature. To a leopard who thought he was a cheetah, the attraction was certainly there. The trees were in his aid as he watched her from a safe distance yet not too far to not marvel at her features. The poor male carried his heart in his paw as he fell so easily for females' traps.
Slowly he weaved through the branches of the tree he had climbed and moved down in a spiraling motion til he set foot on land. What was she doing? He lowered his head and leaned to one side. Digging? Rocks? Ears fanned back as he slowly approached her from her front side. Voice of wonderment and questionable. Finding his words were screwed and stuttery til he finally gulped and spoke up.
"Um.. do you need help?"
Eyes wide and harmly in difference to his muscle and dark features. It certainly was different to be greated with such strength but care in their words.

The more she dug, the more stones she unearthed. Some were quite plain, but there were a few of interesting shape. There was a heart stone there, and another shaped like a slender leaf, or perhaps a feather, but the shapes were mostly abstract in their forms. Her humming was occasionally interrupted by a soft chuckle or a thoughtful hum as she made plans and appraised her finds, either knocking them away or raking them to form a small neat pile at her feet. Her tail curled back and forth behind her in a lazy half moon arc.
So engrossed with her task at paw, Nena didn't hear nor pick up any indication that there was someone within her close vicinity. At least, not until this someone spoke. She managed to withhold a surprised gasp upon hearing the nearby masculine voice, her silvery gray eyes going wide for a moment. The female blinked at the dark stranger for a moment before letting herself relax with a little sigh.
A bit of a smile touched her face and she shook her head. "Oh, no. Not really, unless you want to help me dig around in the dirt." She gave a bit of a laugh. "I hadn't heard you coming over. If I had I would have at least said hello. If I may inquire, to whom might I be addressing and what brings you here?" The very nature of her pride made her more inclined to be welcoming of strangers, so being happened upon by someone she wasn't familiar with wasn't a big thing to her, especially since he wasn't behaving aggressively in the slightest. In fact, the dark, muscular male had inquired if she needed assistance, which in her opinion was something aggressors tended not to do.

"Ah.. oh, um.. My name is Bugie." His ears filtered back as he drew closer to her to peer at what she was digging up and to his surprise, it was just rocks. He hadn't ever thought any much thing about a rock. Then slumped in to a sit.
"I wouldn't mind helping.. Are you looking for something?" Tilting his head as he looked up at her once more with thoughs soft emerald green eyes and the darkness that held them. "I was curious of the noise- and had to see who was around.. I hope I didn't spook you. I'm not around these parts- and have lots of time... even to help someone dig through some dirt.." His smile had seemed tired and absent most likely, maybe even smile only because of her..

The leopardess paused her digging to sit behind her little pile of stones, dipping her head at the introduction and smiled to him. "It's nice to meet you, Bugie. My name is Nena."
She looked down to where she was digging and the small collection of little stones at her feet. "Not anything terribly valuable." She said before lifting her head to again meet his eyes. "If you'd like to help, you are most welcome to do so and you didn't spook me. Maybe gave me a little surprise, but I wasn't too worried. Well, if you would like to help, I'm looking for little stones that have an at least relatively flattish side. I'm a Carver, you see, for my pride, and rocks are my medium; my claws,my tools...This isn't part of my home territory, but it isn't too terribly far off. So, what brings you around these parts, Bugie? Did your feet run off with you?" She asked with a little grin as she stood to return to her digging.
