Cincindelas was hardly visible in the moonlight that marked his preferred time of night, only his blue markings shone in the silvery radiance from above. It was something Ubuni had liked, she herself being mostly black with pink markings. This did mean that their children were well-colored to hunt the night, but he sometimes regretted the fling. After all, there were better reasons out there to have children. Not that he didn't love the four he had. But they had all grown up and moved on with their lives, Ubuni as well.
Leaving him alone again.
He hadn't thought he was lonely before Ubuni came into his life, but now Cincindelas regonized the emptiness for what it was. Not solitude, but loneliness. He sighed, standing up in the grass and silhouetting himself against the moonlight. He might not want to be alone, but the leopard knew well that he wasn't the most social of creatures. Having four children and their mother around had strained his ability to be around others, but he missed it now that it was past.
That didn't mean he was going to go seek out a large group of strangers. No, he'd hope to meet one or two others in the darkness of the night.

It might've been a sound, it might've been a change in the movement of air, but Cincindelas had the sudden feeling that he wasn't alone. He began padding forward, keeping eyes, ears, and nose alert. When he came near enough to see the water, he relaxed a little. That was someone he'd never be able to miss, even on a sunny day, he was sure.
The question was...should he appraoch the other? He'd just been lamenting to himself about his loneliness, but now that the opportunity had arisen in answer to his prayers, he was hesitant to take it. Then the leopard winced, he could almost hear Diffudi's voice, savagely chiding him if he didn't.
"Good evening," he called out, not too loudly, but loud enough to be heard, or so he hoped. He didn't want to startle the pale figure.
