Through the vines {Private}

[Accalia]

Kivuli rested her head against his shoulder and took a deep breath in "I'm alright...I just nightmares. Are you alright?" she asked hoping he hadn't had to experience what she had. She managed to push her nightmare from her immediate thoughts and smiled softly at Dye before looking out the mouth of the cave into the early morning sky

[Jetstar]

"Im alright" he smiled, hiding his fears from her.
Pink lept up tp his thoughts again "look at her, shes pretty isnt she? im glad you told her you love her"
"i am too" Dye said accidently aloud

[Accalia]

Kivuli looked at him with a slight smile "What are you agreeing to?" she asked, but not in the interigating way, she simply wanted to understand what went on in Dye's mind.
She smiled and nuzzled Dye's cheek, she wasn't sure whether to tell him that she heard him or not, but she thought it would be better ot to for now, and so she remained quiet, as she had for almost her whole life.

[Jetstar]

Dye laughed a bit and nuzzled her back "I'm agreeing with my thoughts that you're pretty" he smilled, licking her eyes

[Accalia]

She blushed bright red and shyly licked him back. She hadn't known what to expect nor how she would react to what he said, but she knew this was the default way for her to react to compliments, she didn't dislike them but rather she was surprised by them when they came.

[Jetstar]

Dye couldnt help but laugh when she licked him. he never liked his laugh, it was kinda high pitched, almost alto like, and choppy.
"so you hungry?"

[Accalia]

Kivuli giggled slightly, his laugh was sweet and she gave him a large smile and said softly "Yea.. I could probably do with some food.." she did want to outright say she was hungry, but she needed to go for a hunt.

[Jetstar]

"awesome ok wait right here I'll be back soon!" dye said, bounding off before Kivulvi could interject.
Dye soon came across a herd of grazing okapi. He knelt, examining the herd. Most were strong and young bar one older looking one. Dye knew how to hunt and he did so well considering he spent most of his life alone. Soon the okapi was caught and Dye was dragging it back to Kivulvi

[Accalia]

Kivuli was about to interject to his comment, but he sped off before she could do so. Kivuli awaited his return for a while, waiting within the cave before she decided that she would like to see her surroundings. She looked to the ground and scratched a message into the smooth stone with her claw "I am fine. I am outside, just call when you get back." she smiled and ran outside before clambering up one of the larger appearing trees.

[Jetstar]

Due trotted back with his kill, dragging it harshly over the stones of the ground. He dragged it back to the cave and when he saw her note, Fye shouted kivulvi's name, hoping she would hear him.

[Accalia]

Kivuli smiled widely as she saw Dye with his kill. She thought about leaping on him, but instead simply silently clambered back down the tree and silently followed dye back within the cave and after him shouting her name leaped on his back, knocking them both to the ground "Boo!" she giggled

[Jetstar]

Dye was actually scared a tad when this happened, he fell to the ground with an "oomph" and a small scream. "You scared the life out of me!" he said, going slightly pale, but then licked his counterpart on her snout "boo to you too" he smiled.

[Accalia]

She smiled softly and then took a step back and sat down, giggles filling the cave. She helped Dye up and licked him on the cheek "I missed you." she purred quietly

[Jetstar]

Dye returned the nuzzle "Really?" he purred. He had never been missed before and with the words being said, the rims of his Iris's lit up with a light shade of pink. "I missed you too, what did you see out there?" he asked, sitting down and beginning to tear parts of the okapi carcass off to share

[Accalia]

Kivuli smiled and blushed slightly before nodding gently and replying in her soft voice "I saw the world stretch out before me in a myriad of trees and the clear blue sky meeting the horizon, but then I heard you and decided to scare you." she smiled sweetly before joining Dye beside the carcass and delicately and hesitantly taking a mouthful.

[Jetstar]

Dye took a step back "As lovely as that sounds I have never seen that here, you must have been dreaming" he laughed "and thanks for scaring by the way" he stuck his tongue out only slightly, sarcastically yet playfully

[Accalia]

Kivuli giggled and gave a small smile "I tend to do that." she smiled wider and laughed along with dye before taking another mouthful of food.

[Jetstar]

Dye pushed Kivulvi playfully and nuzzled her cheek "after eating I want to show you something" he smiled "you'll like It I think"

[Accalia]

Her eyes lit up with anticipation and she wolfed down several mouthfuls of the delicious meat before sitting back upright and full of energy.

[Jetstar]

Dye laughed, "That was quick" he smiled at his lioness "Okay follow me" he said as he led her out of the cave and into the jungle. it took them a bit of time walking but the eventually came to the base of a huge tree. Dye started to walk up its spiraling trunk. the tree was so big it must have taken five minutes to get to its plateau. But this was were the beauty was.
The tree opened up at its side almost like a window, looking out into the skyline of trees for none of them could match the monstrosity of this one. it was mildly cloudy today and the clouds wove around the tips of all the trees below.

[Accalia]

She smiled shyly and did a small excited jump into the air, her eyes sparkling as she followed Dye from the cave out into the myriad of trees. They eventually came to the base of a exceptionally huge tree and Aleila stared up through the leaves, before continuing behind Dye up the spiralling path.
Once they had reached the platform Kivuli stared out into the sea of tree tops, her body stumbling into Dye's her breath taken at the sheer beauty of it all. She looked to Dye with dreamy eyes, smiling softly at him.

[Jetstar]

Dye stumbled a little himself before holding Kivulvi up "haha woah you okay there? It's beautiful isn't it?" he asked, nuzzling her snout

[Accalia]

Kivuli blushed but nodded softly before saying "Its... awe taking." she said her voice full of air as she gazed upon the beautiful scene reaching out before her

[Jetstar]

"I found it while I was hiding one day, I was young bough I guess, haven't left here since. I actually sleep here, I just eat in the cave because the food is too awkward to get up here. I can never get over it's beauty myself" he said, looking out over the trees, cocking hi head to turn pars of the tree leaves brown and amber "You never get cold and East is straight ahead so the sun rises directly onto you" he smiled, closing his eyes, then opening them and taking in the two beautiful sights around him, nature and Kivulvi

[Accalia]

Kivuli smiled but then her brow furrowed "why were you hiding?" she agreed with him about how beautiful this small infinite beauty was but she was curious and for the first time for quite a while she felt as if she didn't need to be rp frightened to ask a question. She turned around and looked into Dye's eyes evenly, her mind feeling light and bright as if she could simply float into non existence. She felt as if she were such a small piece of a beautiful world, but one thread in a complex tapestry, she wasn't sure whether to like or fear that thought but she kept it within her mind and pondered over it as she awaited Dye's response.

[Jetstar]

"Othee lions don't seem to like you when you accidentally kill half their pride with mistical powers" he chuckled nervously. "They've left me alone a little in recent times though so that's good"

[Accalia]

Kivuli nodded and rested her head against his shoulder a slight smile spreading across her face "you had people after you too huh...." she looked at the sky and the green pillars reaching up to grab it. She smiled and let the sun warm her face.

[Jetstar]

"Yupa" he lay down beside her with a thud. "It did suck, no sleep, little time to hunt and such, no time for relationships or anything else for that matter" he slightly frowned, and looked at the setting sun "But at least it's over now" he purred, whipping Kivulvi playfully with his tail.

[Accalia]

Kivuli licked his cheek softly and smiled, wrapping her tail around his and looking up into the now reddish sky and saying quietly "Dye I'm sorry you had to go through that.." she closed her eyes as she licked him again and sighed, she hated seeing pain and hearing of it.

[Jetstar]

"There's no need for you to apologise" he got goosebumps when she licked him "It's over now anyways. No use dwelling on the past. What about you huh?" he asked, licking her cheek, "Whats your past like?"
