Lily got nearer to the pulsing water. In and out, back in, then out, flowing, blue and salty. Demon got to grow up on this, this sand and water and lovely heat? She paced just out of the water's reach. Maybe there was fish in the water. Oh she loved fish, fish and water and heat. She loped into the water, enjoying the fresh feeling of it. She didn't go to swimming deepness though, she respected the waves and wasn't sure if she could swim them or not. Back out she went shaking most of the water off of herself. She began to clean her paw but then... "Ew! Gross!" She exclaimed at the salty taste. She forgot about that and wasn't very happy with herself. She would have to find fresh water before she could be clean.

Demon walked up the bluff towards the beach slowly, listening to the thrum of the waves in the distance. He had his paws spread wide like snowshoes so he could walk as the grassy plains turned into sand. As he mounted the bluff, he saw a strange feline down by the shore. After a moment of watching, he realized it was Yuri the tigress. A grin crossed his maw, and he dropped down the bluff in his favorite way- diving and sliding. When he hit the bottom he opened his powerful jaws and let out a mighty roar that echoed along the beach for miles. He started towards her, walking with his toes splayed.

She heard Demon's roar and recognized it. She felt something around Demon she normally didn't. She cared. She turned around and roared also. Then she ran, which was faster than walking but not her full speed on sand, to Demon. She called his name loudly when she got nearer. When she stopped in front of him she just stared and panted for a bit. He was very big and she just seemed to realize. Her tail twitched and she truly smiled, which was a rare thing to see if she didn't mean to kill you. "I'm glad your here." She said feeling foolish, like she was young and full of life again.

Demon grinned, "It's a pleasure to speak with you again, Yuri. And you are more beautiful than I remember from the last time we spoke." He purred, arching his back. He really liked Lily- Harmakhis was his mistress, but he liked Lily's company more than that. "Do you like the beach? This isn't the one I grew up on, but it is similar."

Akora stood silently upon the rock jutting out from the immense beach, feeling the spray on her paws, looking out to the sun over the horizon, and watching the fish fly out of the water. She saw a whale in the distance, and thought about swimming, but not in that water. Not unless there were good fish nearby. The black panther stood like a statue against the wind, feeling it push her whiskers back, ruffle her fur, and make funny noises in her ears. She almost fell asleep in the perfectly calm moment, until she was snapped out of her trance by a deep, loud roar. She snapped her head along the beach, and saw a tiger, and further along, a black bject. She couldn't make out what it was at this distance. She looked in their direction, and replied to the roar with one of her own. It was more like a demented meow, but it got the point across. She hopped off the rock into the shallow water, feeling the water on her legs, and bounced out of the water onto the beach, walking in the tiger's direction.

Lily loved being called Yuri by Demon. It made her feel young and beautiful. But, she smelled something in the wind. It was a panther. A female panther! Was this pather trying to take her Demon away from her? "Demon, we have company." she growled. Turning around she tried to run full out but forgot she was in sand and slipped. "Fucking sand!" She exclaimed as she righted herself then ran at the female, claws out and a fearsome snarl showing her long, bright, and sharp teeth. She roared again warning the panther that it had crossed a line.

Demon ran ahead of Lily and nudged her gently with his shoulder. "Patience, Yuri. She is small and insignificant. We can at least see what the young cub wants from us." His eyes sparkled at her, the deep blue shining. He strode forward easily on the sand, "Spread your toes. It helps keep you on top of the sand."

Akora walked silently up to the tiger, an irritated look upon her face. She glided up to the tiger, and stared into her eyes. Akora snarled, and slapped the tiger across the face with a paw. She growled at Demon, and silently stalked away, into the water.

"YOU BITCH!" Lily shouted. It hadn't hurt. The panther was small and pathetic compared to the large tiger. What the hell? That panther just suanters up here, under threat, and attacks her then walks away. Lily was used to a little more respect back in her own lands. Even Siberian Tigers, the largest ones, didn't dare attack her. They knew she could kill them painfully and would with glee. "Fiesty ones in this country huh Demon?" She said trying to blow it off. The panther couldn't even make a decent meal so wasn't worth killing. Yet.

Demon blinked in surprise at he attack, "I guess so. Most females aren't, but the males certainly are. Maybe she spent too much time around some rogues." He shrugged at Lily, then walked after the panther, stepping easily into the rough water. "Excuse me miss. What are doing by a beach? I have never seen a panther in these areas before, and it does startle me." Demon suddenly bristled at a thought, "If those damn hoomans are animal trading again I swear I will go up to their pretty little city and eat it." Demon sat down in the water with a plop and studied Lily through his claws, hoping she would keep her temper in check.

Akora didn't realize she was crying until the lion started talking to her. She dunked herself under the water, and floated to the top. She hated water, but she didn't care. She didn't face him when she spoke. "I lost my family not a year ago. I am looking everywhere for them. I don't know where they are. I don't even know if they're alive." She shook her head. "I heard a roar, and I saw someone black, you, and I thought it might be. . . a panther. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm just searching. She simply stared at the water. "I've spent time with all sorts of animals, I'm not afraid of the big ones. If they kill me, then it means I don't have to search anymore." She sighed. Suddenly, her head snapped up, a scent caught on the wind.
The panther sat around the other side of the rock, listening to the little panther speak. He was hoping that the rock would hide his scent. Oh well. He leapt up on top of the rock, staring down at her. "Hey there baby sis."
"Kataro!"

"Well it looks like you found your family. So go away. Oh! And learn your felines. Most panthers are small. and not Demon sized." Lily said. She didn't feel bad for the panther about her issue. Shit happens. She had her own issues too and wouldn't take more disrespect from the little kitten. "Demon, we need to find fresh water or something. I'm full of salt and it tastes horrible." She said not paying attention to the panthers anymore. They weren't her problem or cuasing her problems anymore and they were too small to eat or mate with so they were invisible. Except they did have annoying voices. Maybe they didn't understand go away. The female had damaged eyes for sure.

Demon yawned, then nodded to Lily. "I agree. Some fresh water might be nice. Ummm, well," He said to Akora, looking awkward, "I am sad to hear about your family, but, well, one appears to be present." Demon could feel Shaitan watching through his eyes, which meant Demon had to play extra cool to keep any violence away. Being nice always chased away the bastard. "If you need any more help, I will be around. No guarantee I can find any of your family member- I can't even find my own that are still living- but, ehhh....I know this area well. Good luck?" He cocked his head to the side, then stood and shook himself, walking away slowly. "Yuri? I know where a good watering hole is nearby. Oh," he turned his head back to the panthers, "I am Demon, by the way. Ask anyone around here if they have seen me and they will know who you speak of."

Katoro looked to Akora. "Let's go." Katoro, without a glance at the other cats, walked down the beach, along the water. Akora looked to Demon. "Thank you!" She yelled, and chased after Katoro. "Let's find mom and dad." Katoro nodded.

Lily followed Demon to the water hole. On the way she sang. It wasn't a song with words just notes. She had a very good voice and loved to sing. Thats what she and Streak did their one special day. They played together, made love, and sang. She sighed at the thought of her lost lover and her song which before was a song of joy slipped into the melancholy notes. She had a tough time losing him. Maybe thats why she was, at best, an ass to the panther. The panther reminded her of herself before she was strong. Maybe she also expected her to toughen up or die. She wondered what Demon thought of that interaction. Would he think she was wrong in treating her that way. He would be right to think so. Lily never apologized but if they came back she would treat them better. "I'm sorry Demon. I guess I just can't control myself sometimes. I know they didn't deserve the way I treated them." She muttered and began to sing some more. She would've never acted like this before Streak died and she should lighten up now that she was around Demon. She didn't need her tough exterior anymore. Demon could handle anything that came his way.
