Looking up at her, he can see she is laughing at him. He was thinking about going up the tree to get her, but she jumped down to land in front of him. She pawed him playfully, with a small roar, before she takes off running again. Chasing after her, he notices she isn't running quite as fast. Smiling to himself, he makes sure to stay right behind her. After a little while, he smells water. Than he can hear the cash of water. They came into a small clearing, with a waterfall that emptied into a small pool. He follows her as she climbs to the top of the waterfall, only to see her jump off. Laughing and shaking his head, he peers over the edge of the falls and waits for her to surface. Once he sees her head break the surface of the water, he runs and jumps, landing in the water right beside her.

Just before he hits the water, he sees her put her paws up to shield her eyes. As the water wraps around him, he sighs in relief. He was very sore from his month of constant traveling. As he comes up for air, he watches as she swims beneath the waterfall, then she flips on her back and lets the water wash over her stomach. Swimming over to her, he gently rubs against her purring.

He watches as she swim away from he. She swims behind the waterfall, and climbs into a small cave. Laying down with her head on her paws, she watches him. Letting the water beat against him, he feels his muscles slowly begin to loosen. Floating there, under the falls, he can truly appreciate the beauty of the place. Its a small piece of paradise. The trees seem greener and fuller here, and the water is crystal clear. Letting himself relax, he floats like that for sometime.
Feeling much better, he slowly makes his way toward her. Climbing up into the cave, he shakes the water from his fur. Smiling he walks up to her and licks her ear, before laying down beside her. Closing his eyes, he feels content.

He smiles as she nudges him. He can also faintly hear her purring. For the longest time, he just lays on the cool stone floor, listening to the sound of the waterfall and her soft breathing. As he lays there, he realizes, he has completely forgotten about everything that had been troubling him. Looking over at the panther, he knows he can never thank her for the gift she has given him. Hearing his stomach growl, he stands up and nudges her. When she opens her eyes, he tries to communate he wants to hunt. Hoping she understands him, he turns and jumps back into the water.

Swimming toward the shore, he hears her jump in after him. Climbing out of the water, he waits for her to catch up. As soon as she was out of the water, he takes off running. Smelling the air, he catches the faint scent of a deer. Slowing down, he begins stalking his prey. He sends a look back to panther, silently telling her to stay behind.
The closer he gets to his prey the slower he moves. He lets his animal natural take control when he hunts. He couldn't match the leopard's cunning hunting skills. The leopard knows which way a goat would run if it was startled, and how to move silently through the rocky terrain. In the mountains the snow leopard was at home. Making sure he was down wind of the deer, he silently jumps up on a rocky ledge. Now he was slightly higher than the deer. He creeps along the edge until he is in just the right spot, before he jumps down onto the deer back, biting into the it's neck. The deer bucks wildly, trying to throw him off. The snow leopard digs his claws into the deer's side and crushes it throat. He falls with the deer, still holding onto it's neck, making sure it was dead. Releasing it's neck, he stands there panting, with his mouth covered in blood. He looks back to where he had left the panther, and waits for her to join him.

Standing by the dead deer, he pants heavily from the rush of the kill. He watches as she makes her way toward him. When she reaches him, she purrs and rubs her face against his, licking the blood that was dipping from his mouth. He makes a sound deep in his throat, when it appears she is waiting for him to take the first bite. Purring loudly, he rubs against her and nudges her toward the deer, before he sits down and waits for her to take the first bite.

He smiles inwardly as she rips a piece off the deer, and drags it away it eat. Making his way back over to the deer and begins to eat. Eating slowly, he enjoys the feast. When he was finished, he turned to find her sitting, waiting for him the finish. Walking over to her, he begins licking and cleaning her face.

He purrs softly as she licks his face in return and nuzzles his neck. Feeling better with a full stomach, he watches as she walks over to a patch of dirt, back over by the pool and waterfall. She writes in the dirt,"What would you like to do?" Standing there, he wasn't sure. Looking over at the deer carcass, he think, I should probably hide that first, just in case we want a sack later. Sending her a look to wait a second, he drags the dead deer into some bushes and covers it with some leaves and sticks. He makes his way back to her and writes in the dirt,"Group of people outside of town." Sitting down, he waits to see if she understands what he means.

He nods his head. Its what he meant, but he hadn't known they were fae. He had tried to avoid them since a group of rogue fae killed his foster parents. Shaking the thoughts for his mind, he decides he is going to take her it see them perform. If she wants to go. Not sure what he is suppose to do now, he sits there with a questioning look on his face.

Her face being rubbed against his, brings him back to the present. He hadn't realized his mind had wandered off. Not knowing when the performance would start, he writes in the dirt, Wait. Hoping she does, he jumps back into the water, and swims back to the cave. As he begins to change, he feels his bones shrink and realign. It's more painful this time because he tries to rush it.
Once he was changed back, he stay on his hand and knee for a little while. Taking down that deer had taken more out of him than he had thought. Stretching, he feels a dull pain in his left leg. Looking down, he see a large lump, the size of an apple just above his knee. He must have gotten it when the deer tried to throw them off it's back. Shaking his head, he quickly jumps into the water. Swimming through the waterfall, he looks to see if she was still there.

On the other side of the waterfall he opens his eyes. What he sees surprises him. While he had been changing, apparently so had she. She looked up and catches him looking at her. Smiling, she slowly walked into the water and swam over to him. It was like he was in a trance as she moved toward him. He couldn't take his eyes off her. When she wrapped her arms and legs around him, pulling their bodies tight against each other, he couldn't stop the soft sigh from escaping his lips. In the cool water, her body seemed hot against his.
Resting his head on her shoulder, he wraps his arms around her, and holds her close. He holds her for a little while before he pulls back and says,"I like you, and I find you very attractive. I'm sorry, but I'm not ready to take this step yet." He hopes he hasn't upset her. He wanted to kiss her and run his hands over her body, but he just wasn't ready. Looking into her eyes, he hopes she understands.

Naida spends the next few hours with her troupe preparing for the performance. There is much to be done to get everything ready, from gathering firewood to making last minute repairs to their costumes.
As darkness descends over the mountains and down into the valley, Naida stands by the roaring fire. Her costume, varying shaves of silken scarves wrapped artfully around her chest and middle with a skirt of them around her waist over her leggins, billow around her in the light breeze. She smiles, taking in a deep breath and closing her eyes. Breathing in the scent of the fire, she opens her eyes and smiles again, then heads back towards the caravan to help the troupe make the final preparations to their makeshift stage.

As Windscar approaches the large fire he can see the caravan of travelers working hard to get ready. He smiles as he sees Naida standing by the roaring fire "Oh this is going to be fun." with that he smiles and looks toward the heavens. "My goddess grant me this one more time." with out stretch hands he waves the wind down around him an points toward the young lady. "Go my winds." says the young Fae as the wind circled around him it flows toward the lady standing in costume. As the wind spun around her she seemed even more of a catch in his eyes. He stands watching as she heads toward town.
As he watches her he follows and slowly catching up to her he smiles "Lovely Miss Naida you shouldn't be out at night alone." he says haft way expecting her to jump out of her skin

Naida jumps slightly, not really expecting anyone to be here already. She turns, laughing when she see Windscar smiling at her. She smiles slyly at him, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, good evening good sir Windscar. Is that an offer to escort me back to my troupe? but, how is it that you are so sure that I cannot take care of myself?" She asks teasingly, still grinning.

as she turns with a slight look of shock he giggles. As she starts he can't help but smile wickedly at the young lady. "Oh i am awfully sorry if i belittle you my lady but if anything would happen to such a beauty like you...." he says as he pauses and swings around her with grace of the winds "I fear that the winds themselves would cry out of sadness." as he circles around her he stretches out his elbow "as for the invitation to walk you back would be a true honer." he says it a smile that would tempt birds from the trees
