Dinanki

Penny for the Piper?

The large cheetah was curled up, ignoring the freezing coldness of the snow. His pelt, like all the other chees', wasn't the thickest thing to wear in the chilly places like this. He sighed and repositioned himself, moving over just a bit as he stayed down, deep in a small hole he had dug down for his "bed". It wasn't too deep-- only about half a foot down in the dirt. He yawned and then flicked his tail before curling it back around him once more. He had dug his sleeping spot next to a patch of tall savanna grass. He soon completely closed his once half shut eyes and drifted off to sleep, like the small snowflakes that were falling down, on and around him.

Song

Song walked up. "I'm not cold, I've been running all day!" She laughed. Her pelt was also thin, but she was warm because of her countless sprints today.

Dinanki's head quickly raised when Song came dashing over to him. And while he was trying to sleep, too. Oh well, he hadn't chatted in a long while. Since yesterday, heh. He stayed curled but looked up at her, auds pricked but swiveling occasionally. "Lucky Chee." he said, now on his haunches as he sat in his hole. He shook his dial roughly, ridding it of the snow. Then he yawned and continued to look at her again. "I've been too lazy to do any of that... And a bit too cold. It chills me to run." he said, grinning. Then he began licking his forelegs, making sure they were all clean, which they just about were.

Song

Song brushed away some snow and curled up with him. "How can it chill you to run?" she asked with a smirk.

Dinanki

Dinanki continued to wash his forelegs until she asked the question. He looked up at her, tilting his dial a bit to the side. "Oh? Simple, really. When I start running the air goes through my thin pelt and stings my skin with it's coldness. Eh? Get where I'm going?" he asked, auds pricking again. He then went back to licking his forelegs when he realized he was only making himself colder. "Darn it... Stupid spit." he stated, rubbing his neck against his legs now. The saliva from his mouth only made it chillier. He shivered, moving over a bit from his hole to allow Song some space. Then he curled up again, but only from his middle to his tail. His front was sticking out so he could look around and still move his head.

Song

She nodded. Yes, but at the same time you warm up see, body heat." Song said. She got up and ran toward the end of the cage. She shivered as the humans watched her. Finally, one gave her an extra blanket. She ran back and put the blanket on Dinanki. "Better?" Song asked.

Dinanki

Dinanki looked at Song. Hmm... He tried to guess what she was doing but then quickly realized it. He grinned as she came running back and laid the blanket on him. "How thoughtful!" he stated sarcastically yet in a friendly tone and then bit at it to pull it up closer to his neck. "It's nice. Truely." he said, chuckling. He then looked up at her, smiling at her generousity.

Song

She nodded. "I always think of others." She replied in a simple sounding way. She looked up at the sky, only to feel soft snowflake wet her face.

Dinanki

Dinanki grinned, positioning himself to be more comfortable under the blanket. He then yawned. "Me too, actually. Better than being alone all the time." he stated, flicking his tail.

Song

Song nodded. "Yes, wonder where that new one is..." She pondered.

Dinanki

Dinanki nodded, looking toward the sky. The snow began to build up on the blanket and he shook, sending some of it off and onto the ground around him. He yawned, looking to Song again. "Yah..." he stated, staring around blankly now. "Probably out exploring or something." he suggested, auds pricked.

Song

She nodded. "Yes, I suppose so," She replied. She shook her pelt, and closed her eyes slowly, heading into a deep sleep...
