 The night was full of beauty.. but the only beautiful and untouchable thing for Noir, was the beauty that was sleeping on top of his arms. The game from the night before, was still in the den but he had slipped away from her and edged it to the back of the cave so no real threats would try and steal it. But he wanted to get something new for her.. So he set off early in the morning and had killed so quickly and efficiently that he was able to get an ibex. Then bring it back to the den before she woke. He worked fast because.. he didn't know when she'd wake enough to leave him. That was the greatest thing to feel like- but the worse. Something to worry about as he really didn't have anything to worry over. When he got to the den.. he looked over her delicate body.. and went to the back to drop off the kill before going back and laying on the opposite side of her. On the other side of the den- as to not disturb her, he watched over her. Thinking and remembering what she said before. '-I can promise you..I have no intention of staying.' Rolling that with 'If I can stay-' ~ 'Do you not like me too' and that just gave him all sorts of feelings that, in the night she felt. He did not just thinking about it. Enough to feel.. and decide to try and lead her away- but at the same time. Wanting to stay as long as possible with her. Unsure as of yet- he looked out the cave.. These mountains were so close to the desert wasteland.. it could be easy to die in if not careful. So he watched- still, like a ninja and calm looking but strong all in one. His green eyes watching the opposing landscape.. Ears back. He hadn't been so long with a female before.. ever really. So he was somewhat odd feeling but .... happy. A slightly more softer/more peaceful air to him. For the moment.

 N'gombe had slept soundly, her tail curled around her nose, keeping her warm when she lost the heat of his body. The pale cheetah had been exhausted, from her chase of the spring buck, to the climb to the den, and sudden appearance of Noir, it had taken its toll on the fragile feline, and so she slept, oblivious to all around her. Safe in the knowledge that the black leopard would keep her safe.
When she woke, she did so slowly, her moon born eyes blinking away the sleep. Realizing that her rescuer was not beside her she started and looked around wildly, fear in every line of her body, fear he had abandoned her, but seeing him guarding the doorway, N'gombe viably relaxed.
She smiled at him, a heart breaking, demure smile and stood with that in born unconscious grace she seemed to have, and paced toward him. When she reached him, she nuzzled his ear before laying down beside him and butting her head under his ruff.
" Bonjour Noir," she whispered in her gentle, soft way, " I am glad you are still here."

Noir wasn't as active in the day so when the day came.. He didn't look to pleasant but today. It was a new day and something new inside him. Hearing her gracefully come his way. Closing his eyes like he did on a mission. To completely inwarp himself in to hearing every ounce of sound that came from her. Obbessive? He wasn't sure.
Laying his ears back as she came up to him, the affection he gave was..like a plague and only turned when she settled herself beside him. He gave an assuring nod. "I .. don't know why though." Lowering his head. What did he expect to do .. nuzzle her. Well- he came up right to her face and was about to poke and nuzzle in to it before just plopping his chin right on her head. Closing his eyes with a light pur that sounded more like a gruf or some train crashing..

N'gombe smiled at him, and rubbed her nose with his, pleased he had tried. She leaned against him, content to listen to his rusty purr and answer it with a gentle, musical one of her own. “ I'd hope it was because you like me Noir.” Her light voice was laced with a careful tease, she wasn't sure just yet of his temperament.
He reminder her of a wounded bird, you had to speak softly, touch it gently, and stay calm, least it bolt and run from you. She did not wish that for Noir, she felt in her heart he would only injure himself more if he did. Somehow the delicate cheetah knew he was broken and bleeding inside. Just as she knew she had been lead to here, to be found by him, to help him find his way back to himself, and his loved ones, for surely he had them non?

"Like you- when you promised not to stay-? Hm." The slight push away from her emotionally. Rubbing his chin against her head. He somewhat liked the feeling but at the same time it was something her didn't know what he had done. Something was pulling at his insides and it was hurting now, physically but there was no sign of it that he showed.
Another rusty purr errupted. "Maybe........... Maybe." To the like part but he probably wouldn't say. "Please don't make this more complicated." Putting his paw hesitantly over hers.

She looked up at her with her guileless eyes, a tender smile on her muzzle as she leaned up and placed a very gentle lick on his nose, keeping her paws under his. “ I'm not Noir. I already told you I would stay beside you, that I will go with you willingly where ever you will lead me. I hope it is to your home, so that I may stay beside you, but if you choose otherwise...” She lifted her paw and stroked it over his ears, “ you'll still be in my heart. You'll be in my heart from now until I take my last breath Noir.”
N'gombe wanted him to believe her, to know she was telling the truth, she had no other way to show it then her words, and the simple honesty in her eyes. She bite her lip, unsure, but willing to be..to do...whatever he wanted of her.

This flowery talk. He only heard it from sultry and masked devils in his pride. Thats what he thought of the average female. Which damaged any outlook that could emote interest with. She was practically giving herself to him and he couldn't make anything out of it. So- he bumped his head against hers. Looking in her eyes a moment. To get a better look of those crystals she had within them. Show him sincerity when he didn't remotely believe until it started to work its way in his chest- painfully.
"Do you say this to any other. Just a few hours and you speak as though you knew me a lifetime. If I did believe you- I wouldn't share you nor let anyone be given what I get from you. You seek it so blindly I don't know what to make of your irrationality. He gruffed after and let her lick him but he didn't move his head. Touching foreheads together. The air - was filled with unsure emotions and mostly immiting off of him. Again, she woke and messed him all up.

“ Noir, sometimes a few hours is a lifetime.” N'gombe whispered to him, resting her forehead against his, purring in her lovely voice, “ I do not know who has hurt you, or why they did, but I am not whoever it was.”
She closed her eyes, and lightly rubbed her chin over his muzzle, letting him breath in her scent, letting him see she wasn't lying. “ I've never spoken such words to another. I've never even nuzzled a male before. You're the second male I've ever slept beside, the first being a rogue who shared his patch of trees with me, him and his bird-brother.”
N'gombe leaned against him, laying on her belly to rest her head along her paws, “ Why would you share me? You do not share those who are special to you...do you? Her voice was truly puzzled, as if she could not fathom such a thing as having more then one in your heart.

The angular feel of sharing. Entertainers.. He closed his eyes to remember that they- did not fall in love and even if they did.. that meant a painful sharing must be enstated and that was no way to live for Noir. Angry and upset over sharing would mean him killing anyone who touched the lady her faired with. She would definately NOT be an entertainer for sure. Not with him around. A citizen- or merchant. Those were places he though she might not be shared except time. "Hurt- no one has gotten this close for a reason. You are the first I lay beside and I hope it will be the last." He sneered just a lil, taking her scent in. "I don't even much TALK to anyone. Let alone stay a night with them- that I assure you." He paused to recollect himself from falling to deep. Or so he thought he was doing.
"Anyhow." He lifted his head and softly nudged her. "The journey ahead is long- I have gotten you a fair game to keep you content through the way. Will you eat it.. if you expect to come along.. or leave." Always saying that leaving part- was leaving a bad taste in his mouth.

The delicate cheetahess smile when she looked up at him was like the sun coming to warm your soul after a long, dark night. It was filled with the innocent joy his words gave her, and the growing feelings in her heart for him. She'd known she was lost the moment he had accepted the name she had given him. It made her want to be by his side, to protect him from the things that had hurt him so badly, enough that he did not even realize how broken he was.
Purring at him, she looked over at the fresh meal, another warm smile finding its way to her muzzle. “ I am hungry Noir, but I do not wish to eat alone. Will you join me cher un?” She asked him softly as she rose to her feet in her elegant way, her tail lightly running over his own.

The chill of her leaving his side. He hoped that the warmth would stay if he did/ THEY decided to come to his pride. The nera. Sometimes it was cruel while other times- it was home. When she asked and stood- he automatically felt like following but his actions were slow but loyal with her every step. "As long as you eat- though I worry that you didn't eat enough yesterday to survive where we're going."
Arriving at the meat- he slumped down in front of the night old meat where he pointed her out the fresh meat. It could still be warm, depending on where she started to eat first. Highening his paw to her. "After you." Bowing his head.. he didn't know how to act in front of a lady.. but he guessed it was letting them first. He 'd only seen that rarely but how the Boss Man acted around the Boss Lady- this was similar if not a little more closer to home.

“Merci Mousier,” she said warmly, giving him a half curtsy by inclining her head and bending her front legs slightly. It was elegant and posed, if anything she was well breed, a lady in every sense of the word. Settling down to the ibex, she sniffed along its belly, finding the warmth that still lingered there. With neat, clean nips, she opened up her breakfast and began to eat delicately. Somehow she managed to keep most of her white fur clean, only a few smears of crimson staining her paws and front of her muzzle.
“ Is it very far to your home Noir?” She asked after swallowing a small mouthful, “ How many days travel?”

After watching her eat a moment. He decided to eat too. This was partially for taking the skin- cleaning it and wrapping it around her when it comes time. Things he was thinking of and would make her chose when the time has come. A day of walking.. hopefully they would make it there. For him- he had a quicker pace and didn't know if she could keep up. So lady like- the beauty.. and himself the beast. As he put his paw down and unlike her. He tore it apart piece by piece. Not caring if he had blood on his fur, because with it such a dark tint.. Well. It was easier to seem clean.
Pulling at the fur and ripping it off to save it. Then, as if it were noodles- just laping the meat in to his mouth. Rough and untampered with for sure. For the leopard whom thought he was a cheetah- from what he knew.. He just was born with no recollection of a mother nor father. With that being siad, his rough exterrior was rash and brute for the most part.

N'gombe hid a giggle behind her paw, watching him eat reminder her of her father and how often mother had scolded him for his poor manors. To which he would just grin and chase after her with his red stained muzzle, trying to rub it on her mother's pristine fur. It made her happy to see some of her father in the leopard she was sharing a meal with, and that joy reflected in her moon born eyes and gentle smile.

Chomping down on the thing because in the pride. It was a very fitting way to let fighters go off and get teh game and drag it in for the ones whom couldn't go outside. It was forbidden. Everything was secret except for the missions. They were traded among the ranks. Laying his ears back as he tore it up enough to eat like a glutton then stop when most of the beast was emptied of all its insides and muscles that made up the legs. Looking up with a piece of meat hanging from his maw.. Starring at her for a moment before slurping it up. Looking over to the kill in front of her with very small indents.
"....You hardly touched it?" Questinoably asking. He nodded. "It will take a day and partial to the night depending on what you would like to set our pace. I can make it within a few hours while others may take days of time." Being broad as to not allow too much info to get out.
