DarkMoon
Rounded belly swaying, DarkMoon was quite heavily pregnant - and yet she would not stay still. The restless soul she was, the red ess had taken it upon herself to go out for morning walks. The sun had not even begun rising just yet when she'd risen from her den, her father snoring away, her son snoozing at the other side. A soft smile had crossed her face at the sight of them when she'd turn and began her walk. She had paused briefly to sip some cool clear water from the pond - ignoring the fact that Corvette practically lived there, and then turned and walked some more. She had only wandered so far before she found herself panting and had to take a breather, sitting down near the base of one of the many mountains that was directly across the throne. Regardless, this was still a perfect spot in her mind - the sun rose not too far from here and was still in perfect view. So with a sigh, DarkMoon rested here, slowly lowering herself to her side to lay on. |

Over the weeks the Ash Leopard stayed, he had carved a small depression halfway up the mountain DarkMoon would rest below. It was a nice area, and Alighieri too appreciated the view. Opposite side of the Valley was the throne, surrounded by cherry blossom, he also had a good view of the dens. Behind him was an expanse of unclaimed land, and a highway for residents and visitors coming in and out... Up here, Alighieri could watch as a Sentinel.
Between the medium sized male's paws lay a dead alpine hare, he had caught it overnight and took it to his nest to feed alone and uninterrupted. It was almost finished by the time the pregnant female came this way to rest, seemingly unaware of Alighieri above. He emitted a deep chirp of sorts at her to announce his presence... Thus far, he did not know of her relation to DarkStar.

DarkMoon
After having getting comfortable within her little spot and settling down nicely, DarkMoon's thoughts began to roam. She began to think about her time here, had quickly things had escalated in the short time that she'd been here. From the moment she got here, she'd found out about what happened between Cocaine and some guy named Jericho - to getting shagged by some guy named Kodiac Kannon who turned out to be quite nice to speak to and who was a great companion... A month and two weeks it's been already since she's been here. A small smile tugged on her lips. She would make her own fond memories of this place yet.
A chirp broke into her train of thoughts, and her eyes flicked upwards, her body instantly tensing and she scrambled to her paws a bit awkwardly. It was too dark to really get a good look at the gray male, and she didn't know all the members of Meurtrier yet. Eyes wide in alarm she stared up for a moment. "Uhh, hi? Do I know you?" She called up, her tone still soft as it was early morning - but she was ready to call for help at a moments notice - she had her babies to think about. |

Alighieri's ears erected as he looked down at the female. Ash Leopards had excellent night vision, so it was easy for him to make out DarkMoon's appearance and somewhat identify her. "Unlikely. But I am Meurtrier too." He figured that this female was Meur - she had the look of one. The smaller male laid down again, folding a paw over the other, his ears relaxed again.
"You look like you'll be ready to have your cubs soon. What are you doing all the way out here?"

DarkMoon
DarkMoon hesitated for a moment. Anyone could say they were Meurtrier and not actually be Meurtrier. Something in her gut decided to say she wouldn't be harmed by this male. She went with it - just this once regarding a stranger. Sitting back down very slowly, DarkMoon cleared her throat and shifted a bit to get more comfortable. "If you're lying I'll have this whole pride raining down on you." She warned, her voice held a slight teasing lilt to it though. Not the entire pride would come of course - just a few.
Shifting again, DarkMoon sighed at his question. "Would you want to be stuck in a stuffy den, or out breathing the fresh air?" She left it at that for a moment, letting her backfire question sink in for a moment before speaking again. "I've traveled for a while before returning here, lazing around for hours on end isn't something I'm fond of." She offered a kind smile. |

"I wouldn't doubt that." Alighieri replied with a gentle flick of his tail, proceeding to start grooming his fore-paws and his chest. The male was as relaxed as he could be, up on his little nest on the mountain edge.
"Mm, I guess mother knows best." He replied. As long as the female kept herself out of harms way, and... for that matter, didn't go into labor here and then. That would be terribly inconvenient...

DarkMoon
DarkMoon laughed at his replies. "Maybe not," She replied a little cheekily. "Mother down here for only the second time." A small grin crossed her face. "It's quite a journey - but I certainly couldn't do what I did the first time around.. And lazing around in one den holds bad memories honestly." Then she tilted her head curiously. "So who are you, anyway?" Her sharp blue gaze rested upon his frame, even as the first rays of light began to trickle into the sky and the dark blue of the night slowly pulled back like a blanket being uncovered. |

An ear perked, and the Ash Leopard decided to humour his guest. "That's still more times than I." He joked, obviously due to his biology, Alighieri could not become pregnant. The male hoped the joke would at least turn her attention away from whatever foul memory may exist in her mind.
"Alighieri." He simply replied... But who was he really? The Ash Leopard still didn't know. He had far more memories of Dante Donovan than he did as himself. The feelings too did little to help; Alighieri was here on a journey of self-discovery as much as he was here to help his old pride... If not more so for himself. Meurtrier didn't seem as bad off yet.

DarkMoon
A chuckle escaped her at his responding comment and she tilted her head to look up at him as she settled down once more, getting comfortable. She flicked her ears up at his name, and tilted her head. "Alighieri, hmm? That's a nice name. Mine is DarkMoon." Her bright eyes looked towards the sky as the sun slowly crept upwards and she smiled. The sight was peaceful to her. |

"Charmed." He said politely, curling up. He'll sleep soon, but DarkMoon is welcomed to stay as long as she wished.

DarkMoon
She hmm'd softly. He didn't seem to be in a talkative mood any more. Her gaze flicked back to the rising sun after she'd observed him. He was quite polite, and she appreciated the company. Laying her head on her paws, a heavy sigh escaped her and her blue eyes remained trained onto horizon. |
