Domestic Cat RP (Kittenpompom123.:.Wrath & Sacred)

[kitten;]

A grin stretched across her face when she heard him purring; she was relieved she had met him first, also. She watched him carefully as he reflected; it was odd to see him frown when he was thinking. But perhaps that was what she did when she was thinking, Xena wouldn’t know. He would, though. Xena was tempted to ask him, but she heard him speaking, so the Ocicat listened carefully, her ears swivelling in his direction and eyes watching him thoughtfully.

He shouldn’t be sorry; it was, after all, her who the toms were after. Just by chance he was here. And a very good dose of luck that was, Xena thought with a smile portraying itself on her mouth. It was still a little hard for her to believe that things had worked out so well. The cat realized that her mind was just hardly wandering and would go farther if not stopped now, so she snapped it back to attention rapidly, trying to hide her emotions again. Hopefully he was used to that, or he didn’t pick it up.

Had he intentionally flirted with her? It didn’t sound like him at all. Most likely not, Xena concluded. It was probably easy for him, he’d grown up here with many female cats, plus he probably wasn’t that type of cat and from what she had seen, he did like her. How much, she could never guess. He hid things from her and buried them deep in his mind, reflecting on them often. He was a bit like her, actually. A great thinker. And wondering how far this would go, and where it was now.

Where to go...? The lake would certainly have more cats, but that would give her a chance to tell them that she didn’t want anything to do with them. But then again, she’d rather not have to lecture any cats like that again. And still, she would not want to meet them later. Better to get things done early.

Xena sat down in front of Dumir, wanting to get closer but afraid to. What would he think if she did? Xena dismissed the thought; the silence that swathed them was too long now. She answered, her voice full of...something she couldn’t depict.

”I would love to still go to the lake, Dumir. Better to meet the other cats early and inform them of my position. And lakes are like giant mirrors, I love to peer into them. It’s breathtaking. Truly marvelous, especially at night.”

[⚜ Estivel]

OOC: I am terribly sorry for the long wait Dx I got sick, and just returned from my sentence to my grandparents' house. And, of course, they were lacking internet >>
I will try my best to reply today, and if I can't you'll get a reply early tomorrow morning ^^' I'm sorry D8

[kitten;]

OOC: It's fine! ^^ I'm glad you're back now, though. Just reply whenever you can, and I'll do so, too. It's summer, so I wouldn't expect you to be sitting around at the computer all day (even though that's what I do x3).

[⚜ Estivel]

She appreciated the beauty of the lake as well? A cheerful smile spread across Dumir's face, far from the restraint he had attempted to display a mere hour or so ago. Had it been that long? Part of him wanted to say no despite the night that had settled over and the bright half-moon hovering far above them. Her silver coat looked beautiful bathed in the moonlight, and he found his mind wandering until he recalled that it was, indeed, his turn to say something.

"Marvelous indeed it is. Perhaps that's why so many cats love to linger around it so late at night. It is quite a stunning sight, though nothing compared..."

His purr suddenly halted as he stopped the words about to come through his maw. What was wrong with him tonight? He had begun to relax completely, not monitoring his words as closely as he needed to. Never before had this been an issue; never before had he met a cat like herself though. Dumir felt torn in half, he wanted to tell her of his feelings, but at the same time this could end badly. If she did not feel the same way, this friendship would be awkward and forced from here on. While he ached to say something, the thought of losing her was too powerful. He was, after all, not that used to taking risks that could affect his future life this dearly. So to make up for the cliff-hanger, he moved on to the next sentence.

"Shall we then, Xena?"

Bowing his head slightly, he continued to follow the theory of 'ladies first'. He did raise his head a fraction a moment later however, looking at her with moonlight reflecting in his amber eyes with the grin still plastered on his face.

[kitten;]

Time surely had passed faster than she had thought-it had been about an hour or so since she had first met Dumir. But it gave the impression to Xena that she could’ve known him all her life. How queer. This was one of the things she would have to get used to, if she ever saw him after tonight-that Dumir was…Exquisite. She knew with utmost certainty that she would want to see Dumir again. And…possibly…he would like to see her again, and they could go somewhere different. Was Xena getting ahead of herself, though? Thinking about the future too fast? She dismissed the trail of thought altogether, ear turning in the direction of Dumir’s voice.

Xena listened attentively as he talked, contemplating his words. Her eyes showed hint of a smile when he said that he appreciated the lake. It was truly, a dazzling sight. And that was new-all the others she had known had no appreciation for natural beauty. Xena established, for about the hundredth time, that this encounter would be like, and had been, like no other she had experienced before.

Xen realized her mind was wandering in that same direction again. She blinked, slightly dazed, and answered calmly, smiling.

”I believe so, Dumir.”

Realizing that she had jumped back on the ground, Xena tilted her head slightly towards the incandescent yellow moon in the night sky and jumped onto the fence. She turned around once she was on it, watching Dumir and waiting for him.

[⚜ Estivel]

Dumir wondered how she could seem so placid, she had, after all, just moved. Quite a hectic situation from what he'd hear from new neighbors. And yet, she seemed fine.
Muscles tensed, Dumir leaned backwards and allowed his tail to twitch slightly before he lunged for the fence, and landed neatly on his front paws, and then turned slightly to allow a better grip for his back claws. Luckily Marcus had not seen it necessary to declaw him, thinking it would be less dangerous what if him being outdoors quite a bit. Dumir's tail lowered and he started to pad down the side of the fence, knowing walking side-by-side would be an impossibility on such a small surface. However, he did make sure to glance back and stop after only a few steps to check if she was following.

"So do you have a mate or someone special to you awaiting you at home?"

It was rather blunt, more than he usually was, but he felt he had to know. She hard for someone like herself to have caught the attention of a good-looking tom, perhaps even an Ocicat like herself could, after all, have turned down the tom from before due to the fact she had someone already. It wouldn't have been.

[kitten;]

As he jumped gracefully on the fence, Xena wondered idly if he had practiced moving like that or if it came with the Toyger breed. Everything about him was so...controlled. He must be the most wanted cat in this neighbourhood with the other females. She gazed him, and, her mind wandering, thought about a number of things, all circling around Dumir. And quickly, she realized, her mind was wandering. Xena snapped it back to attention, attempting to conceal her expressions. She hoped Dumir didn’t notice, it was the third time she had done that.

Xena almost smirked when he asked her if she had a mate, but it technically was his business. She allowed a twitch of her whiskers, though, and answered indifferently.

No, my human hasn’t deemed it necessary yet that I have a mate. Neither have I, now that I think about it. And I wasn’t able to find anybody special where I was before.

Xena ended up almost frowning, looking down at her paws again. She didn’t want to mention about now...about how she felt about Dumir...but she didn’t want to say anything, to make this friendship forced. That would be bad, unless he felt the same way...

Anyway. Xena followed after Dumir, her tail waving in the light of the luminous moon.

[⚜ Estivel]

Didn't want a mate? Would she want one now? The thought got pushed to a far away cavern in his head as he didn't allow himself the luxury of thinking like that. She deserved someone special. Even if she were to like him as he did her, he felt it would not be fair for herself. Dumir thought of himself as just the average cat, purebred indeed, but just a normal cat if you were to take away his papers. No, Xena deserved someone better than he could ever be. And so Dumir allowed himself to smile gently, trying his hardest to not show anything in his eyes but the usual politeness even though she couldn't see his face at the moment.

"Oh? I'm sure any cat would be lucky to have you."

The purr rumbled through his chest, and he glanced back at her once more, wondering what was going through her mind as he admired the beauty of the silver light against her pelt. Should he say something? Part of him longed to, but other half, the more cautious half, instead rejected the idea. She was a wonderful friend to have, someone he could confide to. Except about his feelings of course, but that was a small price to pay. Or was it?

"I was wondering if-"

The question was cut in half, as it usually was, by a yowl coming from a few fences down. Not again. He stopped walking and searched through the darkness, amber eyes sparking softly before his gaze settled on a small and slender tiger-stripped female approaching. Her gold eyes seemed angry, but at the same time confused. Something only his sister could accomplish.

Once she came into full view, her soft and rich fur also became apparent. Her rounded ears and long-limbs as well as the occasional spots on her back clarified that she was, indeed, a Toyger. A beautiful one at that. Dumir soon realized why the curiosity had sparked in her eyes. It was not every day that her brother was out and about talking with cats, let alone female ones. And so, as she approached, the smile on her face grew larger and more friendly.

"Why hello Dumir. A lovely day, is it not? And who is this?"

Her voice was more of a constant purr, rich and like honey that flowed like a song. Golden eyes regarding the Ocicat with a slightly jealous spark in them, she continued.

"A date?"

[kitten;]

Any cat…would be lucky…to have her? Was that implying something? Xena dipped her head in thanks, acknowledging that he had complimented her. She smiled meekly and her whiskers twitched as she listened, she speculated if she could disclose her feelings to him…but he was a great friend to have. Better leave that for later.

Why, she certainly was a curiosity, and even though Xena had expected cats to come up to them, Xena would’ve thought Dumir’s sister would be inside, in his house. She knew it had to be her sister, the way Dumir talked about her and her personality was the same, and her Toyger coat. And-oh? What was that jealous spark in her eyes? Why was it there? Did she wish to date her own brother, or was she jealous of her brother meeting somebody? Never mind. Again, Xena was not happy with this visitor. She wished they could leave her and Dumir alone to talk for one night. But this time, she stayed in check of her emotions and body, and tried to act as normal as possible, tail flicking occasionally, and her eyes displaying a façade of mild interest. Her mind was in turmoil, layers upon layers of thought asking unheard questions towards Dumir’s sister. Why was she here? What did she intend to do? Was she just curious, or was there something else behind this encounter?

Xena craned her neck over Dumir as she looked at the new arrival, her façade still on her face. She didn't dare to ask a question, not in this atmophere.

[⚜ Estivel]

His amber eyes bore into her gold, wondering why she was here and what she had hoped to accomplish. Dumir hoped that she was just here to say her greetings to the new neighbor, but for some reason he doubted it. Suriana never came out to greet anyone; she made sure they came and greeted her. This was not the way she did things.

"Good afternoon, Suriana. This is Xena, a new friend of mine. I was taking her to the lake to introduce her to the others. Is this important? If not, I would like to continue my walk."

The subtle touch at the end almost sounded rude, which was odd for him. He had never treated his sister like his, and the shock on her face seemed plastered for quite some time. Then, however, she gave her small head a shake and the smile returned to the award-winning face of hers. Suriana refused to let someone get around her like that.

"Dear brother, of course this is important. I wouldn't dare bore you with anything trivial, now would I? No, Marcus is looking for you. Something about a cat another breeder had."

The sarcasm flowed through her sing-song voice, making Dumir's tail fur rise slightly with annoyance. She would never let him have a moment's peace now would she? The normal instinct would to show his teeth, and perhaps move his ears back. The normal instinct would not have been proper though, so he instead looked at her with a curious expression before turning around towards Xena. The female Toyger soon sighed in exasperation and started her approach to their adobe, the fur on her back puffing up slightly. It was always fun to annoy her. Dumir smiled slightly before he met Xena's gaze.

"It seems I'm going to have to apologize again. Our stroll keeps being interrupted due to me."

Dumir was slightly disappointed that he didn't get to finish what he was going to say earlier, but shrugged it off. Maybe later...perhaps? Anyways, the lake was not too far off; two more minutes and they'd be there. He doubted he could clear his mind what with all the buzzing thoughts going off in his head, but perhaps it would help.
