Mao had followed stories, whispers, anything to guide her to where her sister might be. There had been a lot of failures; many prides or coalitions that might have housed her turned out to be nothing. Leads were chased, tips fell apart, and Mao guessed that she might never see her pink sibling again.
Still, Mao had nothing else really to do. She wasn't much interested in settling down without at least finding her sister, so...here she was. Crawling around a lushly dense forest hidden within a mountainous terrain. It didn't seem like an ideal location to live, but Mao had barely seen a hint of anyone living here.
"This is frustrating," she said to herself as she came across a small stream. She sat next to it, giving herself a moment of rest before taking a small drink. "Continuing on seems....risky," she said as she glanced around, catching sight ofa bird or two, but nothing else.

Qing Jie wasn't currently carrying any messages, but that didn't keep her from running around the pride! The pink and white cheetah was never happier than when she was stretching her legs and speed to the fullest, and it showed in her expression, her body, and her dark purple eyes.
Much as she hated to slow, the cheetah knew better than to push herself too far - not when there was no emergency. If she remembered correctly (and she usually did, given how she ranged all over Tianxia to deliver messages) there should be a stream around here.
Qing Jie made her way over, walking slowly to give herself a rest, but not so slowly she'd stiffen up, thinking only of how good the cool water would feel. These priorities quickly changed when she found the stream not only occupied, but with a familiar face that had no reason to be here at all.
"Mao?" the word was a breathless whisper, only partially due to the pink cheetah's heavy breathing. "Mao! What on earth are you doing here?" She headed straight for the other cheetah. Who would have thought she'd see a sister here?

"They're fine. Father is grumpy as always, and I don't know how Mother puts up with it. I think I just needed to start my own life instead of always living with them," she said with a sigh. Sure, they weren't terribly old, but Mao just wanted to find her own place in life. It started with wanting to find Ou Se, and became so much more. Adventure, new places, strange tongues...dangers, too.
"Emi is as beautiful as ever. I swear, she could just wink at the grasslands and every available cheetah would be begging for her attention." Mao chuckled. "Maybe its good she's still with Father and Mother, I'm certain that Father's grumpiness scares away the losers, and Mother keeps Emi in a good, straight line. She'll be fine."
Her tail twitched, her eyes really scanning over Ou Se. "You seem so healthy and happy...what have you been doing? Do you live up here??"
