Shadow

:: The Canis Lupis trotted around. her yellow orbs casted up, as her nose lifted. Big cats. Her hackles raised lightly. She meant not to come here. Hopefully she would'nt be spotted, but her black coat made her easily seen.

Namir

The cougar wasn't sure where his adoptive parents had gone, and so he headed back to the place he was born. He had become more like a cougar now, keeping solitary and wary of other creatures. Namir was resting in a thick grove of young cedars when Shadow came by. He had been caught off guard and now sprung up with a hiss, pinning his ears back and baring his curved fangs.

Shadow

he fem jumped at the sudden movements, her blazing amber orbs making contact with his.
:: I mean no harm, I just wondered a little off course. ::
She backed up a few steps.

Namir

He relaxed a bit, covering his fangs but his ears were still back. He stalked out boldly from his resting spot, "No harm done." he stated after a silence, "What is a lone wolf like yourself doing out here?" Namir questioned, begning to circle her.

Shadow

She flicked back her thorns.
::I came off course. It's none of youre buisness anyway.::

Namir

He arrogant curiousity turned to aggression fast. "Listen, you're in no position to be sharp with your words." he snapped back in a hiss, circling closer to her now.

Shadow

:: You have no right to accuse me of anything. ::
She looked over the ridge.

Namir

The cougar smirked, enjoying himself now, "I have the power to throw around. That's good enough reason for anything out here." he retorted, "If I were like most cougars around here, you'd be dead by now." His tail dragged lightly over the ground and his paws barely made a sound as he moved.

Shadow

As he came infront of her, she wheeled around on her haunches. She lept on a medium sized boulder. She turned, lifting her tail.
:: But perhaps you would like to engage in a chase?::
She invitingly spoke.

Namir

Namir grinned, "I could use some excerise. But let me warn you..." He sprung onto the boulder as well, "I can jump over twenty feet and run just as fast as you." The cougar grinned, flicking the end of his tail a bit, still having fun.

Shadow

The fem knew something - she was faster than him on flat ground, and they indeed, were on flat-er ground. she hopped off the boulder, first going at a steady pace, and the cougr could catch her. She was merely pacing herself, and her long haunches werent at all stretching out as far as they could.

Namir

Namir set off after her, intruiged by the thought of chase. He had never really had the intention of harming her, but he liked the idea of intimidation and power. Like a cat, he liked to 'toy' with things, although she was not his prey. He trailed after her now, treading across the ground like a shadow, moving his nearly two-hundered pound body with ease and grace. "Watch your step around here missy, there are plenty of drop-offs." he warned with a grin, knowing this place very well. Being in the mountains, there wasn't a whole lot of flat area. Sooner or later, this expanse of flat ground would turn rough and steep again if they continued on.

Shadow

The charcoal lupine continued her run. She began to make a left turn, into a very narrow crevace. It was like a very small canyon, and it was a little difficult to squeeze through. It grew dark, and her flaming sights adjusted. She heard the cougar behind her - the soft a rythmic padding of his paws. And like a storm, they were in the light again, in a more open, field type area. She stretched her extensions out, gaining a bit more speed, but very slightly.
