Amber eyes glanced from side to side as the long-limbed cat trotted through the wet grass of his owner's backyard, sniffing occasionally at a drop or two of dew that had collected on the grass. The sun was already setting, and his owner had reluctantly allowed him out into the backyard for a nightly stroll. The tiger stripes running down his burnt orange and brown pelt stopped at his white underbelly, and reached up all the way to the spots on his back. The Toyger was proud of his tiger-like appearance and gate, and usually flaunted it off while stepping lightly past the other houses on the fence.

Dumir stopped at the fence to crouch, his tail twitching slightly from side to side as he examined the top of the fence that approached the 6-foot mark. The top was made of rock which allowed for a wonderful time sunning. Barely another moment passed before he pounced and landed skillfully at the top. The humid air made his fur feel thick and he had the urge to lay down and groom his fur but decided against it and started his stroll down the neighborhood atop the fence.

(Mine's an Ocicat x3)

The sun's setting rays glinted off of the plastic white picket fence of a quaint house. The movers, burly men with a knack for knowing what goes where, had just left, their moving truck going with them. The owner of the house finally got out of his small car and opened the passenger door. A carrying cage was belted into the seat, white plastic and metal bars. He unbuckled it and took the cage out, careful not to jostle the cage around too much as he strolled through the gate of his new home. He latched the gate and settled the cage onto the grass, muttering something unintelligible, and opened the metal door.

Curious green almond-shaped eyes darted around, probing and searching for at least something that was familiar. The search came up with nothing, everything was new and inexperienced before by this cat. But she gingerly stepped out of the cage and looked around warily. Her coat was clearly visible in the dying light, silver with chocolate brown ocelot spots that went all around her belly but turned into half-stripes on her tail, neck, face and legs. Xena stretched, and trotted off to explore, suddenly brave. Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad.

What was this? Dumir stopped two houses down at a house that had recently been isolated, its owners having left once a new child was on its way. One of his friends had lived here, so of course he peeked into the backyard for a friendly face. What if they had a dog? He shivered at the horrid thought of a yapping furball running around, disturbing the peace he loved this neighborhood so much for.

Upon seeing that the new arrival was a fellow cat, he couldn't help the smile that stretched across his white muzzle. An Ocicat, one of the beautiful breeds of domesticated cats that were bred to resemble the great wild cats. Dumir lifted his tail for balance before hopping down into the backyard, assuming the owner would be busy packing. Moving was, after all, a messy business. So many lost toys and precious belongings.

"Why hello. Welcome to the neighborhood."
He forced control into his voice to accentuate that he thought highly of himself, and, above all, that he was in control. It was a relatively small neighborhood and to stay on top he made sure to always be the first to greet the new comers. Not to mention all the local toms would be turning up over here once they got word that a magnificent creature like herself was here. Dumir's smile only widened as he seated himself close to the side of the fence with his long, striped tail wrapped around his front paws.

[kitten;]

Xena stood poised, her eyes scanning the ground for any type of creature. Perhaps the people who had once lived here had never thought to get rid of her favorite snack from the yard. She gazed at the small knolls and into the shadows, and into the crevices in the dry earth. She scanned the shadows near the fence, and found that there was another shadow on top of the fence's shadow-a cat.

Glancing up, she found that his pelt was by far the most beautiful-or should she say handsome- she had ever seen. He was a Toyger, a domestic cat that was bred by humans to look like one of the big cats of the wild, but she couldn't pinpoint which. He looked like a mix of two. The tom's amber eyes were affixed on her. Oh, of course, he would be curious. She was new here, and new things brought curiosity. She smirked as he jumped down from the picket fence and settled himself at the edge of the yard.

"Why hello. Welcome to the neighborhood."

The Ocicat's smirk vanished, but instead she put a polite and timid smile on her face. Obviously he was in control here. What a fitting role for an exquisite cat like him. She sat herself down on the grass and wrapped her half-striped tail around her paws, trying not to show that she was, in fact, going to fall over if she stood any longer. She tried to not do anything embarrassing, and enunciating clearly, she greeted him also.

"Good evening. And thank you. Who might you be?"

[⚜ Estivel]

Polite as well as beautiful. What a combo. A big step up from alley cats and the other fat house cats. Dumir, of course, was very confident about his appearance and so thus he did these nightly strolls to keep the Toyger's natural long and graceful appearance that had the same gate as the tigers they had been bred to appear as.

"Why, M'lady, my name is Dumir. I won't bore you with the rest of it. My human is quite fond with long names, it appears."

Dumir stood from his spot to slowly approach the Ocicat, his amber eyes wide as he looked her over. A lovely Ocicat indeed. He couldn't help but feel it was a shame that the other toms would be over here any day now and so he wouldn't be able to enjoy a nice talk without one of them interrupting to flirt, as he knew they would.

"Do you mind if I ask for yours as well?"

He stood only two tails away from her, a friendly distance that gave her plenty of space without being rude. Dumir was finding it difficult to concentrate while looking into her eyes at the same time. The rich, elegant green was a large change from the normal brown and muddy green he was used to seeing.

[kitten;]

M'lady? She wondered where he had learned to speak so sophisticatedly. Furthermore...everything about him was graceful, the way he sat there, the way he talked, particularly his Toyger coat. Xena's mind began to wander, staring into his amber eyes. He was gracious, wonderful...

Quickly she snapped back to attention, reprimanding herself inwardly. If only she didn't get distracted so easily. She vaguely remembered him asking a question, and M'lady...what was it about..? Oh! Her name!

Xena tried to keep the emotions from playing across her face. She failed. Shock, surprise, and other emotions went across her face faster than she could control them. The Ocicat made an effort to compose herself, and this time it worked. Ruefully, she responded in the same tone she had before, but she shook her head, as if shaking it from side to side could stop her mind from roaming.

"I am terribly sorry....my name is Xena. Pleased to meet you. My human is fond of queer names, I suppose."

[⚜ Estivel]

Was she okay? A headache perhaps? Dumir cocked his head to the side, slightly confused as to why she shook her head, and wondering about the emotions that were written on her face. What was she surprised by? Had he done something wrong? Suddenly he was starting to become self-conscious. Dumir bent down and licked a stray hair on his chest before lifting his head once more to gaze at the beauty. She, as he expected, had a name to fit her exotic appearance. A soft chuckle, a purr almost, rubbed through his throat before he replied,
"Xena? It's a pleasure to meet you. I do hope you enjoy your stay here. Would you like to go for a walk?"

He felt the urge to spend more time with her, and for some reason didn't find the thought of returning to his adobe that welcoming. But, at the same time, he found he had forgotten an important aspect. Dumir's tail flicked towards her new home, indicating at the boxes he could see piled inside through the window.

"Or, of course, you can delay my offer until you get accustomed to your new home and feel more comfortable with this neighborhood of ours."

It wasn't like him to mess up, but Dumir was glad he found a way to cover it up. The last thing he wanted to appear like in front of Xena was uncomfortable and sloppy.

[kitten;]

So he messes up, as well. What a comforting thought, the ruler even has his flaws. Xena scarcely even picked up the fact that he had made a mistake, but interpreted it correctly, as she does half of the things she picks up. After his offer for a walk, Xena looked quizzically at him for a moment-where did the offer for a walk come from? But she considered his offer carefully, her slim silver face and chocolate brown stripes crumpled together, thinking, still looking up at him. If she did something like that again....but the human would be busy for quite a long time, unpacking and listening to that music of his....and yet there was a whole night to exploit...

Her almond-shaped green eyes looked up at the Toyger. And yet...he was the best cat she had ever met, one who didn't see her as just a pretty pelt, but a cat. A whole cat, with feelings. He hadn't yet tried to flirt with her, in addition. She somehow felt that she could trust him with anything, and she wanted to spend time with him...he was different from any other cat she had met before. That decided it. She spoke serenely, politely. No need to offend him. Xena smiled at him respectfully as her tail twitched from side to side. She answered.

" I assure you, Dumir, that the pleasure is all mine. I would be delighted to go for a walk with you."

[⚜ Estivel]

It took a moment to click that she had, indeed, accepted his invitation. Even after the mess up, she still would be as polite as she was and even go so far as to accept? This was, indeed new. Different from the suck-up purebreds that occupied quite a few of the houses down their particular street. Despite that though, he still hoped she didn't see the flash of curiosity that flashed on his face. Odd, Dumir was usually pretty good about controlling the emotions that crossed his actual face. He attempted to hide it with a soft smile.

"Thank you, Xena."

Dumir turned but did not move as he waited for Xena. He lifted one paw and his round ears were slightly raised as he listened to hear if there were disturbances, such as a pesky human on the other side near the lake, but didn't hear much. And so he turned back to her for a moment as he played the polite host.

"You have landed in quite a prestigious neighborhood, though you do have to occasionally watch for stray cats around here. Lucky not many of the humans on our street enjoy the company of dogs which allows for a nice evening stroll, though with no dogs to chase them off, other cats like to sun at the lake. It can be quite bothering, but usually they don't mingle with the purebreds so most of us don't have to worry about them."

He could have continued to talk for ages, but again had to restrain himself. Talking to a chatter-box was not always pleasant, so he paused for a moment, inviting her to say something before he continued.
