Welcome to Gaia! ::

The sun was setting upon the savanna giving forth eerie but beautiful light as it slowly slithered downward. The moon was no where in sight making the scene a little less surreal than it may have been with it. Oranges and purples danced and chased after the parting sun. Soon the sky would be a dark blue and than soon after almost pitch black with sprinkles of white glowing stars here and there.

A single silhouette of a cheetah sitting on a rock could be seen. Its tail firmly coiled around its front paws. The light from the parting sun contrasted the figure making it seem a little more ghostly. It was perfectly silent and still as if it was just another tree just planted there. Organic. None moving. Part of the scenery for ever in that one moment.

But every moment has to come to an end at some point in time. The sun had gone and the sky was taken by the dark. The figure was revealed to the land that he was indeed not part of the scene but only a guest to its beauty. Noir often found him self stopping to watch the sun sets. There was no moon in the sky to admire tonight. That was just fine with the cheetah. Noir bowed and arched his back in a cat stretch before finally getting up and starting on foot to where ever it was he pleased. An amused smirk stayed put on his maw. His treading was gentle and that of one well mannered.

At least it was until his whole evening was ruined by a single ill placed stone. Maybe Noir had burnt his retinas watching one to many sun sets or maybe he just was that unaware of his surroundings. The cheetah found him self face first in the dirt below needless to say. There were profanities a plenty.

A very weak and very muffled chuckle escaped the cheetah. Nimble toes. Noir liked that quite a bit. The fall had hurt and it took a long moment for Noir to work up any nerve to pull him self out of his fall. Slowly, his muscles worked in his favor to push him out of that shameful fall. The usually well groomed and good looking face was completely caked in mud. If Noir was to catch a glance at his own reflection it was likely he'd probably have a bit of an episode. Lucky for both felines, there was nothing to catch his reflection to close by.

"Seem ta be~" Even with the caked on mud and disheveled look he now had, Noir managed a some what charming smile. At least as charming one could be with so much dirt on their face. The cheetah did not seem to really notice his appearance yet.

"I suppose these rocks blend in a bit better than I imagined. Maybe they're some sort of ... I don't know. Maybe they .." Noir stopped to think of something fantastical to say for a moment, "Maybe the rocks are from the moon it self and come down to trip up blokes like me. Maybe that's where the moons gone and maybe hes just a clever b*****d." There was a nod. Noir likely was just saying something fantastical just because. His tail flicked and he gave the leopard a side wise glance.

"Wait. What was that nick name? Nimble toes? I kinda like that." He gave her an almost suave grin from beneath the much on his face.
