We're hunting leopards and we're not scared

The night was just beginning, and she would finally make plans to rid Ashen of its leopard problem. There was a large tom that took up residence in the lake territory before Ashen made its claim here. He hadn’t been quick to heed his eviction notice so Belle decided his life was forfeit. She called Sirius to her side, but quickly appeared and she stood and smiled as he greeted her by name. The Empress felt her ears warm as her name fell from her lips, and more so the Klein would welcome high spirits.

She resisted the urge to offer him affections in greeting, knowing it would make all of their efforts more difficult than they needed to be. However, Belle gave Seer a bright smile, one that was reserved for him. ”Seer.” Her voice was equally as pleased as he found her side. ”Are you keen on leopard hunting tonight?” She wasn't so far along in her pregnancy that she couldn’t help her vessel in this endeavor, and even felt herself looking forward to it. Working in such high stakes conditions would only work to bring her and the mammoth Samurai closer.
