Such a task it was to find fruit in this god forsaken jungle!
I mean its a jungle, so surely there has to be fruit SOMEWHERE? The leopard's tumym rumbled in agitation as his cravings got the better of him. He hated when these things happened. He'd fall asleep and dream and fruit, then when he woke up, he had this uncontrollable urge to EAT. Not just anything either, it had to be the PERFECT fruit. Sometimes it was fresh fruit, other times he was in for something a little more wacky ... the fermented goods. This time though, anything would do.
Staring ahead of him, all he could see was more vines to twist his way through. Maybe the fruit wasn't worth it this time? NO! The fruit was always worth it. At least, that's what his belly told him, over and over again.
Sighing the male untwisted his tail from a gnarled tree root and pushed on. He had absolutely no idea where the hell he was, but the farther from home he got the more anxious he became. New places meant new things, and well new things meant surprises. He knew from experiences, that not all surprises were pleasant.

Just when she spotted a little lost hare under her tree, it took off. She blinked. She hadn't made any noises, had she? No, of course not. She wasn't stupid, or bad at hunting. Before she could begin a monologue that no one was expected to hear, she heard, then spotted something. IT was long and.. bright. Oh. So. Bright. Even worse than her, and that was sort of saying something. (She'd heard so much about how offensive her coat was to the eyes most of the time. It was getting old, really.)
But as she focused her eyes, the realized the bright thing, his color akin to that of some palms and fauna... Yes, it -was- a leopard. Right? She checked the tail as it moved closer. Yes, leopard. Too big to be a cheetah and lacking a little tuft of fur like a lion.
Her tail flickered as she eyed the leopard, noticing he had brown spots to go with his florescent green coat. "How Gaudy!" She couldn't help but exclaim as he moved to stand under her tree. She herself was up quite a ways, a life of climbing made her quite skilled at reaching higher limbs of these jungle trees.

The exclamation did little for Tamu's nerves as he pushed on in this new area. In fact, it down right scared the bajeesus out of him. He jumped a few inches off the ground, his fur edged along his back, and his claws sunk deep into the ruch ground at his feet. Looking around for his rude guest, he saw nothing. Not a soul was on the ground, nor anywhere ahead of him. "Must've been the wind..." He mumbled to himself, coaxing his fur to calm along his back once more. He knew it hadn't been the wind, but what other explanation did he have? Some invisible voice was making fun of him? Well in a way it was true ... the voice was totally invisible to him. Looking around again, he chose to tempt his own sanity. At the best, he would get an answer, at the worst, he was insane. See? No downside there! "Is someone actually there?"

For a moment Moyo considered remaining silent to let the other leopard think he was going crazy, but the laugh that was rising up from her chest was too much to contain, so she simply began cackling in amusement. It wasn't everyday a random leopard wandered into the Usafi jungle after all, and while the guards like to chase most of them away, Moyo liked to taunt and tease. She gripped the tree with her claws as her form shook from the loud, amused laughter.
After a moment she settled herself and smirked down at him, tail dipping down past her perch and swishing high in the air as she began to speak once more. "Of course there's someone here." She began, looking thoroughly entertained. "Do you often hear voices without a body to accompany them?" She asked as she peered down at the leopard. His coat really was bright, the green looked good in the jungle, but she could only imagine how eye-rapingly bright he was out in the rogue lands where there were no tropical trees like the one she was perched to mellow out his coat.

She extended her claws and began to rake them across the limb of the tree she was perched upon as she smirked down at the other leopard. He looked so irritated. She did love it when she could annoy others like this. It was silly, really, but it was how she was. It could have been worse though, she always told herself, she could have been insane like her sister. Chasing bugs and oblivious to the world...
"Well. I don't know you, so you can't be Usafi, which means you're an outsider... How exciting. I wonder how long before guards figure out there's an intruder and try to chase you away." She mused to herself, though loud enough for him to hear clearly. "Don't worry, I won't tell them you're here. Unless you do something stupid that is... Like go any deeper into the jungle, but by the time you get any further in, the guard will be the least of your worries."
As fun as it might seem to let the leopard lead himself to death by elephant or pissed off gorilla, Moyo had no intention of having blood on her paws, and besides, they didn't know the difference between Usafi leopards and rogue ones. If a gorilla got mad at him, it was likely to take it out on any Usafi leopards it may have had a truce with. Those apes were so terribly obnoxious, constantly changing their minds on if they were okay with, or if they hated, the leopards here.

Not to be offensive towards the female, but Tamu was not at all interested in her family at all. She had been rude to him before, why on earth would he be expected to show condolences now? But alas, he knew his manners well, and despite his WANT to not care, he did feel her pain.
"I'm terribly sorry to hear that." He bowed his head slightly in respect and carried on his walking, knowing the female would simply follow him to pester him further.
As she began to question his purpose, he tried to ignore her, but it seemed, at least from his perspective, that she had him all figured out. And he had no clue how.
Sighing to himself Tamu turned and looked back up into the trees once again. "Why the sudden interest in me? Not to be rude or anything, but you don't exactly seem like the helpful type..."
Not that it mattered anyway, he was done here. This leopardess was rude and unwelcoming. Something he would have absolutely no part in. HE would simply be on his way, and leave her to pester the next being that entered her domain. If anyone were to enter.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to elsewhere. I hate to split but .... well I have to."
Shrugging his shoulders no chalantly, Tamu dipped his head as politely as he could manage for the female and turned his attention in the opposite direction. Not really sure where it was he had claimed to be going. But anywhere was better than here.
