In The End

Manea shook out her coat as she stepped out of the small cave she and Kavik had used as their den the night before. It was extremely rare that she didn't come home at night—in fact she couldn't remember a time she didn't unless she was on a trip of some kind—but with the current state of things it hadn't been difficult for her current paramour to convince her to have an evening away. She woke up earlier than he did, as always, and left him to continue sleeping as she walked out into the Sound. It seemed like the day was going to be a quiet and uneventful one until she happened to notice the stealthy form of a snow leopard moving along the mountain ridges. Living on the mountainous island as she did she had gotten used to watching for the spotted felines and it had almost become habit at this point.

She watched the cat as she went, not overly concerned about its presence, but keeping an eye on it just in case. That was perhaps the only reason why she noticed it beginning to creep toward the seemingly unsuspecting blue-hued, antlered woman. She saw this happening in the distance so she wasn't quite close enough to warn her before the leopard leapt into action, but she started moving toward the stranger just in case she might need help. She watched as the woman handled herself well, quickly recovering from the ambush to get the snow leopard down on the ground. She smirked slightly and her steps slowed, keeping back since it seemed that her help wasn't needed after all. She didn't interrupt just yet, just moving a bit closer out of curiosity around the strikingly blue girl.
