The panther looked back at the tiger with an approving look on her face. She then looked across the river to the grassy hillsides that strung out ahead. A small grin formed on her face as she looked down at the river. She suddenly crouched down to the ground, bunched her powerful muscles, and leapt into the river. Water droplets flew through the air and sprinkled the ground, and the tiger. Her toes spread wide exposing the webbings that connected them. The river had carried her aways away from the tiger, so Flame kicked her legs hard, paddling strongly back up stream. The panther was soon at the spot where the tiger was standing and her paws touched the river bank. She stood, feeling mud ooze between her toes. She smiled innocently up at the tiger before shaking herself, soaking Zeal. She then laughed again before playfully leaping back out into the river and paddling quickly toward the other side of the river, looking back now and then. "C'mon Zeal! The water's fine!"

Zeal bowed his head when the first splash of water hit him. Even though he was cold, and the water was cold as well, it still felt good to him. He quickly shook off the water and started to walk to his right, following the river and watching Flame. When she came over and stood, an innocent look in her eyes, he had a feeling of what she was about to do. He quickly shook the water off and looked into the water. "Playful today are we? Well two can play that game! Charge!" Zeal smirked as he jumped into the water and the wave swept over the panther and back down into the water.
He quickly swam back up to the surface and gulped in the air. "The water's great! I've waited long enough to go for a swim." Zeal told the panther as he swam circles around her with a grin. He broke away from the circling to dive underneath the water. His eyes met a fish's and the fish screamed. Zeal stuck out his tongue and crossed his eyes and made a funny look. The fish then got wide eyes and swam away as quick as it could. Zeal then swam back up to the surface and looked over to Flame with the funny look. After a few moments his face went back to normal and he laughed.
Today was turning out to be a blast so far. Maybe he'd get a home out of it. It would be nice to find a place to call home for good, instead of being a nomad for his whole life. After he stopped laughing he looked at Flame. Would she be his friend for as long as he lived? He could see them together having fun and doing fun things like tree top jumping. He hoped she'd be his friend for a long time. It was nice to be around another big cat again.
"I bet you swim here a lot huh? I just love the water, I think I'd come here often." Zeal told her. He really would come here often unless he found a better place to swim. Perhaps Flame would lead him to one later. Who knows how many things he still has too see.

When the wave washed over her she had taken a big breath of air before sinking beneath the wave. Her ears were pinned back on her head to prevent any water from entering them. When she saw the tiger swim down under the water she popped back up and took another deep breath and tried to rid herself of the lightheadedness that always came along with holding her breath. When Zeal brought his head out of the water with the funny look on his face she laughed really hard, toppeling over on her back making her go under water again. She came up spluttering, but still laughing. Flame stopped laughing when Zeal spoke however. "No, I really don't swim here very often because no one ever wants to swim with me. You're the first tiger I met here and none of the other felines like to swim." She looked down at the water and swirled her paw around creating a mini-whirlpool. Flame loved the way the dirt and stuff whirled and twirled in the current. The panther looked back up to the tiger, hoping he wouldn't leave her, she wanted to have a friend she would always depend on when she needed them. She hoped that Zeal would be that friend. "Well, we could spend all day in this river, but we have other things to see yet." Flame walked into the middle of the river where it got deeper, then began to paddle to the other side. When her paws could touch the bottom again she stood and walked over to the grassy shore. The black feline then looked back to the tiger, making sure he was following.

"Well that's only because they don't know how to have any fun. I say we show them sometime how it is to have some fun." Zeal said with a smile. "Oh you mean there's more?" Zeal asked with a smirk after Flame had spoken. Zeal watched as Flame swam to the other side and looked back to make sure he was following. Part of him wanted to stay in the water, but the other part wanted to see the rest of the land. He quickly swam to the other side and climbed out of the water where he shook himself off completely.
"So where to now? A perfect place to live, or a large pool of water that's hardly swam in, or perhaps something even more fun?" Zeal asked, curious as too what else lay just around the corner.

Flame thought about what Zeal had said. "Well, we could go over to the Great Depths and swim in the ocean if you would like." The panther shook herself off, ridding herself of most of the water that continued to cling to her. Water still dripped off of her, but not as much as before. She then sat down and gave her chest a few quick licks. When she felt that the strand of crooked hair was now strait, she looked back up to her fellow feline. The air was cold, but at least the wind wasn't blowing on this part of the land. The grass beneath her feet was welcoming too. Flame stood and began to walk as she waited for Zeal to answer her.

"The ocean?" Zeal asked. He never really did like the ocean, just something about how one could never truly tell what lurked underneath you. "Maybe another time...right now I just don't feel like taking a dip in the big blue." Zeal said and began to wonder about what would make the perfect home. A cave? Maybe if there was nothing else. Perhaps a large tree with many strong branches? Sleeping in trees wasn't so bad...unless one had a bad dream or awoke and forgot where they had slept. Maybe that cave idea should be explored even more.
Zeal thought for a few moments, his right paw rose up and a single claw sprang out. He scratched his fuzzy chin while he thought about a cave. Finally he put his paw down and looked over to Flame. "Know where any good caves are? Finding a home should be top priority really. I need something to come back to at the end of the day." Zeal explained as he looked into Flame's golden eyes.

The panther's head bowed in thought. Hmmm... a cave. That's a tough one. Flame then looked at the tiger with a thoughtful look in her golden eyes. "Well, there are some caves in the Glacier Tops, but it's pretty cold up there. There are also some in this one forest, but I'm pretty sure no one is allowed to go there." The black feline looked around at the hills that stretched out in front of them. "I think that if we look hard enough we might find a cave in all these hills in by some rocks. If you really feel up to it we could dig out a cave, but that could take a while." Her paws ached just thinking about digging into all that hard earth to dig a cave. She had just been living up in trees or by a nice stream.

Zeal shook his head at her suggestion of the Glacier Tops, he was sick of freezing weather for now. He had froze on the way here and then started to freeze in the very chilling wind. He sighed and started giving the tree idea more thought. Since there were no caves that could be used, or any in the warmer temps, trees sounded like the best idea left. Besides, he didn't like the idea of digging out a cave anyway. "Alright...seeing it is how caves are limited in this area, I guess...I'll go with a big tree. Do you know where any good big trees with strong limbs are? Wouldn't want to be finding myself falling from the tree on account of me being so slim and all." Zeal joked.

Flame gave a little smile to his joke and thought hard. "All we have to do is find a nice oasis and it should have a nice tree in it. We could wander around and try to find a clan to join and we would have more choices on places we could live, but I haven't met the leaders of any clans yet." The panther's golden eyes scanned the horizon for sign of an oasis, but none caught her sight. This could be on account of the fact that it was a very hilly area, but it could also mean that they might have to walk a while to find a tree. Flame walked forward hesitently, but then stopped and waited for the tiger to speak.

Zeal listened to her suggestion and wondered just what exactly these clans were? Were they all big cats or something? That would be interesting. To have a clan with only big cats could be fun. "Did she say one we could join? She's not in one ether then? Maybe a clan is what we need? One that has other big cats in it perhaps." "Tell me more about these...clans? What are they, how many, and what animals inhabit them? There any with other big cats?" Zeal asked and walked over to Flame and brushed past her. "You can tell me on the way." Zeal said as he continued to walk on, not sure on where exactly he was heading off too.

Flame began walking when Zeal did, not sure of where they were walking either. "The clans aren't made up of animals of the same species, but rather of animals that live in the same climate. For example, a tiger like yourself might live with... um... a parrot." She giggled a little at the thought of the big tiger curled up in a cave with a parrot roosted on his back. "There are five different clans right now. Maninjara is located in a woods, I think that one or Zilanthin, which is a rainforest type place, would probably be the ones I'd choose to live in, Sasukaeill is half water half savanna, Tundarak is cold, on top of a glacier I think, and Deterahn is a desert one. It'd be way too hot in that one for me! I'm black so I'd roast! Flame then closed her eyes in though, trying to remember what she had heard about the inhabitants of Animajia. "I've heard that a cougar, a thylacine, an ermine, an elephant, a cheetah, a frog, and an osprey are in the Deterahn clan. The cheetah leads that one. A basilisk and a tiger live in the Zilanthin clan. I don't think anyone is leading that clan. A butterfly and two wolves live in the Tundarak Clan and one of the wolves lead it. A wolf, a beluga, and a barn owl live in the Maninjara clan, and a blue whale and a horse live in the Sasukaeill Clan. Don't ask me how I know this, birds talk a lot." Flame smiled at Zeal. "There are also a lot of loners who don't live in clans, like you and me. Some of those could be cats." She turned her head thoughtully. "I don't know what they all are though."

Zeal listened rather curiously and almost doubted her if not for she sounded like she meant every word. "There are clans with all sorts of animals? That's very...weird, new, unique, odd, strange, and...different. Very interesting." Zeal remarked and pondered as he walked. The thought sounded interesting and it could work. It had to work if there were still clans about. If he was going to find as home in this place, then joining a clan should be another step. The one with the tiger in it didn't have a leader. He knew he could lead it...and just that thought sealed the deal.
"That's a lot of useful information Flame, good job. I saaaaaay, I'm going to join the clan Zilanthin and possibly become leader, you coming?" Zeal asked with a wide smile. He was sure he'd become leader if there wasn't any there, but he always could deal without being one ether, even though he'd prefer to lead. The only issue he had was with the wolves in the other pack. No true feline liked wolves and if they ever did, there was always that aching fear and even anger in the back of your mind. If there was ever a problem, Zeal felt confident enough that he'd be able to handle it without much of an issue.
((Will post over there next once you reply, unless Flame doesn't want to go?))

Flame considered his preposition for a moment. "I suppose so, it would be nice to live in a rainforest anyways. And it would be nice if I knew who the leader was." Her head cocked the other way as she thought about it. "Yes. I'm gonna join with you." She looked at Zeal for a moment with a determined look on her face before she turned and began to trot over to the clan of Zilanthin.
