x.the slender, silver body crept through the foggy mist, down the bridge that was overgrown with tiny plants and trees. she could feel the long, green vines under her paws. her tongue slipped out of her mouth automatically. it was much hotter here than the mountains, especially because of the humid fog. she longed for the mountain's cool breezes and snow. sari slowed down as the walkway got steeper, trying not to lose her footing in the thick fog. scents drifted into her nostrils as a wind blew by, two scents that were closer than the others. deer, she thought, and another predator. feline, maybe? she shrugged and slowed her pace. she wasn't in any hurry to meet this animal, whatever it is. sari would give it time to kill the deer before she passed them. her honey colored eyes drifted over the side of the bridge, and into the forest below. the calls and caws of the birds were so unfamiliar...well, at least only a few unfamiliar. there were a couple other unknown scents and sounds that came from below that sarenti had no clue of, also. maybe i should come down here more.... she guessed. this was her third time coming down here in her life. her honey hues drifted back to the walkway. a silhouette stood a good ways away. it looked back from time to time as it walked toward her. the wind was blowing toward her, so the deer would not catch her scent. the leopard stopped, waiting for the animal to appear any second.

x.the snow leopard narrowed her eyes, trying to peer through the fog as it thickened. she lost sight of the silhouette that she thought was a deer. after a moment, she heard hooves thundering too close to her, surprising her. she gasped, trying not to yowl at the surprise, and flattened herself as a figure launched itself over sari. the silver feline stood up immediately, glancing back at a deer running away from her. she whipped her head back to see if any other deer were coming. had the tiger made his kill? she thought she smelled fresh blood, it was hard to tell in this thick fog. she heard a low voice, not a clear as most conversations that she's had with other animals. she made out to words, 'hello'. "hello..." she returned the greeting to the feline. she still didn't know what feline he was, all she knew was that he was feline. the leopard sat down on the hard stone, wrapping her tail around her front paws. she bent her head down to lick her ruffled chest, from the earlier encounter with the deer.
