Mirage

The femme pounced amoung the rocks and bushes feeling the sensation of love getting to her. She was now in heat and wondered if her mate, Snowden, would like to have cubs. She son made way to the lake and dipped her head to the water. Lapping at some of the cool aqua she smiled and layed down. The sun beat down on her spotted coat as she banked in the warth. Feeling at peace she let out a cry for Snowden. Flicking her tail about she closed her eyes and kept her audits perked waiting for Snowden.

Snowden

He wasn't long in responding. Bounding across the rocky terrain, he made a quick approach and skidded to a stop near Mirage. The wound across his shoulder and chest was pretty much all healed up by now, and caused him no trouble. Laying down next to her, Snowden nuzzled Mirage, and opened his mouth to say something. But the words didn't form at first. Smiling, he forced himself to speak, "Mirage... I've been meaning to ask... would you... well, would you like to start a family?"

Mirage

She purred as his lyrics floated into her ears, it was excatly what she wanted. Nuzzling him back she playfully batted a paw at his muzzle and grinned. Opening her orbs she gazed into his, her love shining through. Oh Snowden I would love too. Leaping to her feet she began to circle him grinning, striking at her mate a few times she purred and hissed playfully. Then taking a sudden leap she went to land ontop of him. Oh how fun it was to be in love and have someone to care for you. She rubbed her head against his chest and purred. This was the life, she layed her weight gently upon him and sighed, she loved him so much and wished this moment could last forever but it coudn't. Soon there would be kits to attened to and he would have to hunt for her and the babes. Smiling she waited for him to stir or say something.

Snowden

Snowden smirked and batted back at Mirage, but with a tenderness and lightness that was so different from the heavy bats he had delt his siblings when they played together. His faint hiss evolved into a resounding purr as Mirage laid down against him. He rested his great, brushy tail against her side and burried his muzzle into the softness of her fur. Snowden simply couldn't find any words to speak that would justify the moment.
