I See it Only One Way 1X1 With HowlingWolf

Abhay

Abhay was slightly taken aback by Ilianda's actions. He called after her when she looked back. "Ilianda, can you come with...? I mean I already feel out of place as it is... and I do feel more comfortable with you around..." He glanced up at Jerume to see he slowed but had not stopped his pace. He looked back at Ilianda, a slight hint of an unsureness filling them slightly. "Please...?"

:Ilianda:
Her paw hung mid-step above the sand at Abhay's call. She felt much happier, and almost relieved when he'd called out her name and she swung her body around and hurried back to him, her paws sending up red sand behind her in her haste to return to Abhay's side. And when she reached him and rubbed against him fondly, she knew why she'd been so hurt, she misunderstood and thought that he was passing her up, not wanting her to be there in such a private moment, and she was hurt i how he'd not wanted her. It was foolish and stupid. She rubbed her head under his and whispered, "I'm sorry, kitty, I..I thought you hadn't wanted me around." She pulled back to look at him, her face only inches away from his and whispered, "Do you really feel that way when I'm around?"

Jarume sighed as glancing back he saw the two youngsters. He padded on a few steps then plopped to a sitting position, tail flicking back and forth impatiently as he observed his surroundings,alert to any danger.

Abhay

Abhay gave a small smile as she came back toward him after he had called. He let out a low soft purr when she rubbed against him, rubbing his head against hers when he felt her against him. "I could never want you around my leopardess." He gave a small smile as he looked at her. "And yes, I do feel that way when you are around me. I don't know what I would do without you." He hesitated at first, but then ran his tongue up her cheek softly before glancing back at a semi agitated Jerume. He gave a low chuckle. "Let's go before he looses his fur." Abhay rubbed his head against her shoulder gently taking his postion up by her side, moving along with her. She had put him in a signifacantly better mood, and he felt more ready for this.

:Iianda:
Her heart fluttered excitedly at his words and a loud purr rumbled up letting her pleasure be known. When he ran his tongue across her cheek it felt just like the first time and how it had felt like fire running through her. With the memories pulsing through her mind and Abhay's words ringing in her ears, her purr rumbled louder as she stepped in beside him, her mood light and airy, she felt like she could take on anything, and it showed in how she walked with new strength and purpose. As they padded along she moved her tail to rub his and twined it around his.

Abhay

Abhay returned the gesture by wrapping his tail around hers as well. He kept his pelt brushing against hers as they moved after Jerume, who was no leading them back toward Ilianda's clan. Abhay perked his ears as his eyes glanced around with a new found courage. He smiled slightly, glancing over at Ilianda until Jerume flicked his tail toward an wide open den his voice sincere. "Here we are you two."

:Ilianda:
Still purring she peered into the den from Abhay's side then after a few second's curious inspection, she padded into the den. She found it to be very large, with a higher ceiling than usual. She recognized it as a meeting place, by its size and such. Padding further inside she lowered herself to the ground, and spread herself out on her right side, the left protesting causing her to squeak.
Jarume's ears pricked at the squeak but flicked his tail for Abhay to enter.

Abhay

Abhay gave a small dip of his head as he moved into the large den, his eyes ajusting to the slightly darker interior. He moved over closer to Ilianda, lowering him self down into a laying postion with difficulty due to his sling. Once on the ground he let out a sigh and shook his head slightly before glancing outside of the den, looking for what was to come.

:Ilianda:
She felt Abhay's pelt brush hers. She also noticed he was looking to the entrance. She did also expecting to find Jarume's familiar face peering in. She wasn't wrong.
"Alright, wait here and I'll see how many of the clan leaders and elders I can gather to hear your statements."Abhay, remember what I said about it possibly not going well, be prepared for it." He then ducked out and padded off at a fast lope to search for the leopards that had weight among the clan. It didn't take him too long to find most of the 4, and he directed them to the den. However, Mernaya wasn't to be found in the camp, so he told a a messenger and waited for him to return.

Abhay

Abhay gave a brief nod. He hoped nothing went wrong and they accepted his offer, but he learned things don't always go as planned. He flicked his ears, uncertian if he still wanted to do this, as images of what could happen rolled through his mind over and over again. His tail wrapped around his hindquarters, more out of support than anything and he lowered his head onto his good paw. He let out a small purr, feeling Ilianda close. He was glad she was here, as he wouldn't want her anywhere else at the moment.

:Ilianda:
She sensed his uneasiness like tiny waves in the air, picking up on it she fidgeted, kneading the sand with her paws, dark claws leaving rows in the sand. "Abhay, are you alright? You know you don't have to do this, but if you do, I'm here." She said softly trying to keep her voice reassuring. Her ears swiveled to the den entrance as she heard paw steps. Many of them. Watching the entrance, she saw a leopard's head, then his body as it padded inisde, and then one after another, until there were 4 older leopards shifting around in the den, fierce gazes on Abhay and Ilianda.
Jarume paced impatiently. He'd been waiting for about 10 minutes when he caught sight of 2 leopards making their way towards him. He dimissed the messenger and padded back to the den with a sour Mernaya in tow.
