Meet my new friend

Chade moves closer to meet up with Ry so they met in the middle.  The cheetah was now clearly visible with him at this point.  “Oh, this is my friend Swift.  He’s gonna be staying with us!”

The juvenile cheetah bobbed his head at Ricin, “hello,” the cat greeted softly.

Chade puffed out his chest, “Manea and I were patrolling and a group of hyenas attacked us.  One of them had been trying to kill Swift and we saved him.  He’s a cheetah.”  Not like either one of them had seen one before.  It took a second before Chade thought back, “oh, what did you want to tell me anyway?”
