Welcome to Gaia! ::

She spotted the familiar face of the white and rainbow colored leopard and she happily walked towards him with a smile on her face. "Hey there stranger." Clearly he was not, but it had been a little while since she had seen him so it seemed fitting for the moment. She finally got close enough so she didn't have to shout and she sat down nearby and looked around. She had already eaten earlier that day and she was fortunate enough to run into one of her favorite guys.

"How have you been doing? I haven't seen you in a little while." Which was also her fault as well since she had gone away with two leopards on a little trip. That and running into Jabari again. She was really starting to think she had a thing for her. She hadn't ever really given it any thought before but the more she thought about it the more she realized it was likely that she was starting to have an emotional connection with her. There had been a lot that had gone on since her last meeting with Creo and she was glad to see him again. She liked him a lot and she considered him one of her really good friends. She wonder if he knew that. Probably not, since she hadn't voiced her opinion about it.

You flatter me. You don't look to shabby yourself." She said with a smile at her friend as she looked him over. He was doing well and she was glad. It was always nice to know that those she cared about were doing alright. "My trip went well, made some friends..and.." She paused for a moment as if holding out on some huge news and she gave him a glowing smile. "I met someone." She was more than sure that her feelings for the lioness weren't misplaced and she was almost confident she felt the same way. They just hadn't said anything yet.

It just always seemed like they were running into each other at the strangest of times. Perhaps she was stalking her. She shook her head, that wasn't the case. Maybe just looking out for her, which was sweet, but Hadeth was more than capable, most of the time. "It's good to see you again." She wanted him to know that she had missed his company, he was one of the few that she found herself connected to on a level more than most she met.

Wasn't he the charmer, a hearty laugh full of warmth escaped her maw and she could only imagine him shining in the sunlight all squeaky clean and glistening. It was almost too much for her to picture. "Well.." It was definitely going to be a lengthy story because everything was so mixed up how it all happened. She would do the best she could. She watched as he leaned close to get all the juicy details and she smiled at him.

She had truly missed him. "First, I met a lioness named Jabari who saved me from a hyena after I made a kill. Can you believe she mistook me for a young, malnourished leopard that should be with her parents." She couldn't help but laugh a little bit as she recalled the encounter. Boy had that lioness been a little shocked once she had found out that hadeth was just naturally this size being of mixed blood. "The meeting didn't last long and I found myself traveling with two leopards not too long after named Anju and Iregi." She recalled the heartbroken leopard when she had found her and she hoped she would do well, wherever she was. Iregi, she had full confidence in his capabilities. She would see him again for sure since he was heading towards the brotherhood pride and was probably already there. "After I was on my own again I found myself near a hybrid pride where I met a kind male named Chozi and he told me of some of the horrible prides in the area. and I ran into that Lioness again. She was horribly injured and we stayed together for a little while.."

She wasn't sure how to come up with the topic of feelings for her. How could she swing that in there. She couldn't think of any way so she just came out and said it. "I think I really like her. Jabari that is.. She's stubborn but she's got a kind heart." She definitely was rough on the outside but Hadeth knew she had a soft inside. She just rarely showed it. She glanced over at him waiting for his reaction.

"yes, it was good that she had showed up when she had." She smiled as he asked about the leopards and what happened to them. She chuckled as she went on to explain, "I met the female I was with by chance, watching her hunt and fail. So I stepped in to help. The male approached us looking for directions and he tagged along for a while until he could find the way to the pride he was searching for and the female broke off to go explore on her own." They had both been quite nice to have around, mainly Anju. She had grown quite fond of the sherbet colored female with the heart on her nose.

Why hadn't she stayed with the pride of hybrids? He was going to love this. "Well, if you must know. I didn't stay because they tended to make fullbloods, such as yourself slaves. So unless you'd like to be my little house pet when you came to visit me I wasn't planning on staying there." They were a nice group, but just not her cup of tea when it came to those kinds of rules and stereotypes. There was no way she would subject those she knew that were full blood to that kind of scrutiny.

She shoved his shoulder for that mischievous grin that was plastered to his mug. "Hey, stop it you!" She said with a laugh that reached her eyes. "I did take care of her, the best she would let me." Then the question arose of why she left her. She wasn't sure Jabari felt the same way and it really hadn't come up. Though she was almost sure that she had felt the same way. They just parted ways like they had the last time and she was most certain they would run into one another again. "She had to get going and I had a few things I was doing myself. I'm sure i'll run into her again." She was almost confident it would happen.

"It couldn't have been that boring and dull! And I think I shall have to take your words into consideration." She said as she looked around for a moment. Her mind wandered for a little bit then she returned herself to the present and she cleared her throat slightly as she spoke again. "Perhaps if my friend comes around I'll be able to introduce you to her." Her tone was hopeful and she flicked her tail slightly as she grew comfortable in her position.

She cringed slightly. Even the hunting? Oh dear. She shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry to hear that! It sounded like you had a very dreadful time. Hopefully I can help make up for that." She said with a warm smile. She had surely missed him. "Care to walk and i'll tell you the rest of my run ins I had with others?" She asked looking at him with a hopeful look in her eyes.

She knew of a much more comfortable spot than here for them to finish the stories at anyway. All this traveling was making her feel old. "It's definitly worth it." She said with a grin as she stood up and shook herself and then lead the way to a much nicer spot with Creo in toe.
