Talk about a freak thunderstorm. This was not the season for them at all! Nor was this the warm, nourishing rain that made the plains so green during the late spring and early summer. No, this was frightfully cold. And very, very wet. Akir was completely soaked, and was not at all comfortable.
He'd been plodding through the downpour, hoping it would stop soon. It hadn't. Not only that, but there had been no cover to speak of for the last hour. His mane was plastered to his head, and rain was dripping in his eyes. Usually his thick mane was enough to keep the worst of the moisture from his vision, but this... this was a different matter entirely.
He'd spotted a pile of rocks and thick shrubbery from a distance away, and had angled to make for it. His pace was slow and sluggish, his paws caked with mud. His head was low and his tail hovered just above the ground, drooping but held just above the level of mud in an attempt to keep it from also becoming laden with mud.
However, all that dropped away when he spotted a form ahead. It too was drenched to the skin, but more noticeably... it was clearly a heavily pregnant female. Alarmed, Akir picked up his pace and hurried toward the figure of the pregnant leopardess.

Lightning shattered the sky above them as he reached her, making speaking impossible for a few painful moments as the crack and boom of the thunder pealed directly overhead. So instead, he gestured towards the shelter ahead and moved to stand on her windward side. It didn't help much truthfully, but he hoped it would keep the worst of the wind and rain off of her as they finished the trek to what he sincerely hoped was a cave.
He didn't bother trying to talk, even when it was possible, so long as they were still inundated with rain and thunder. He did his best not to fling mud everywhere with his big paws, but the good news on that was how likely it was that the rain would wash away any particularly wayward splash or clump of mud. The rockpile loomed close after what seemed a ridiculous amount of time, and lo and behold, there indeed was a cave, screened by thick scrubby bushes. He pulled aside the brush to let her enter first before following her, shaking his streaming mane from his eyes.
"Are you alright miss?" were the first words out of his mouth when they got deep enough that they could speak more easily.
