Drops of water dripped from the leaves of every jungle tree and plant. Sayen silently stalked through it all, keen eyes on the constant lookout. Green orbs soon landed on a bongo, nibbling on some daytime flowers. While she knew they were mostly nocturnal, the leopardess had also learned in her life that now and then, one would do some diurnal grazing. Some just preferred the day to the night, and were certainly not the NORM, but they were still a sight to spot in a world that was dominated in rich greens and the grays, blacks, and browns of the earth and wood.
The bongo looked up for a moment, then returned to its grazing as Sayen moved closer. Somewhere, birds were calling out to each other, and then the whoop and holler of old-world monkeys(Whatever that meant, but it's what Nava called them) followed. The din was welcome as Sayen took a moment to move into pouncing range. When she was close enough, the leopardess jumped, the leaves barely rustling as she flew through the air. The bongo realized she was there just in time to try to bolt, only to have claws dig into its back and the leopardess climb up it. Sayen may well be a chief, but she wasn't about to be a royal who did nothing. Her lips curled back as she roared, moving to sink her teeth into the larger animal's neck to kill it.

As the bongo went limp with death, another leopard approached and called out to her a congratulations. Lifting her head, Sayen licked the blood from her maw as she took in the sight of the other leopard. Ah, one of the new faces. She somewhat recognized the orange leopard, and it brought a small smile to her face. It did well to hide the frown, because she knew faces just a bit TOO well. With so few of them, it was easy to keep track. This one, as she recalled right, was a runner at heart - She'd seen him run a lot, at least, and he always seemed in a hurry to get nowhere. Very active, to put it simple. "Thank you... Tue, was it?" She took a seat, motioning to the bongo. "Hungry? I don't think Nava and I could eat this whole animal alone..." Indeed, a bongo took at least four leopards to eat it all with only bones to spare. If someone was REALLY lucky, they could crack the skull and get the brain, but most settled for the tongue. Far less effort, after all.
