Description ~~~ Cheetree The day had been searing, and Chafu was thankful the dusk had chased away the harsh sunlight. This was the third day in a row she hadn't drunk a single drop of water since the Running Tear had dried. Fortunately there was no shortage of prey animals so naturally, the cheetess had survived off of the blood of her prey. Sickening.. She thought.
The tops of the trees were lit with blue evening light which shone down to the camp floor, casting a sleepy blue glow on the sand as Crooked Tree prepared for the night. Fumo was sitting by the Chief's tree as Uchafu approached. "Hujambo Fumo!" She chirped as she sat down next to the token. "What'r you thinkin' about?"

GypsyCrest19 - Fumo had been thinking a lot lately, and normally wasn't near the Chief's tree. That is, until recent events had him actually beginning to think of thoughts one wasn't to have of their Chief. He had grown up in this Tribe, had faced death of loved ones and friends. But since Vumbi had become Chief, it had been going down hill from then. And just when they would need Crowded Water the most, Vumbi allowed his pride to take over all reasoning. Not only refusing to ask for help for it showed weakness, but to deny another Tribe's help... He honestly didn't like where these thoughts wanted to lead, and as such was grateful when he heard a familiar chirp. His notched ear twitched, and he looked to see Chafu sitting beside him and his tail tip twitched slightly behind him. "I could be better, Chafu. And a lot of things." He said honestly. "Mostly concerning the recent events..." He sighed, looking back up to the sky before looking back to the cub. "And you, Chafu? How are you this night?"

Cheetree "I am sorry to here that, i could be doin' much better as well. I think ever'one could." She said glancing at the Chief's den. "I don't know who to talk about this with, but you seem like the proper recipient. You are up there next to Vumbi on the totem, and you of any cat would know what he's up to! I'm worried that he will lead the tribe into somethin' dangerous." She continued leaning in. "I mean he was way too headstrong when pushin' Sunnin' Rock's borders that once, and now he won't even get over himself to ask for access to water." She paused leaning back and sighing, "I'm pretty sure Kafil now counts the whole of Crooked Tree as enemies. I mean would back Vumbi up on anythin', after all he's my leader and someday, i hope, my sentry mentor!"

GypsyCrest19 - Fumo honestly tried not to grimace at that last bit. The last thing any of them needed, was Vumbi to get a young and impressionable Tryo to twist their thoughts into hating everyone. Though she seemed older mentally, that didn't mean a thing to the Token. "That may be, but he doesn't tell me anything Chafu. And if he did, I'm obligated as his Token not to reveal anything he isn't ready to announce yet." He said, while silently add; 'Not to mention he's told me that he already thinks so low of me.' His tail flickered behind him. "But I can tell you that he has some... er... Interesting ideas for the Tribe..."

Cheetree Chafu looked aside, disappointed. "He's an amazing fighter, no doubtin' that! But don't do what he should with his power. Should we do somethin'? I mean.. I'm not one for rebellin' against your home tribe but i don't think he's leadin' us in the right direction."

GypsyCrest19 - Fumo's ears lowered, but he nodded. "I'd never do what he does Chafu. But if he does get worse, I'll step up for all in the Tribe. I'll be the one to let him know just what we all think, without getting you all in trouble." He told her sincerely, and placing his paw onto her head. "Just have trust that our Chief will see the error of his rashness, and soon. You just come to me if you think he's being unfair if and when he becomes your mentor, alright?" He didn't want Chafu to be worked to the bone, nor did he want her to get hurt for speaking up to Vumbi, if we would be indeed her mentor.

Cheetree She smiled and batted at his arm playfully, "Don't take so much credit ya big kiburi!" She chuckled, "No one is going to let you face the consequences yourself. You may be in a higher position than evr'one, but no matter how you put it you're still a tribescat like me, and we stand together for evr'thin'." She stood up. "I outta get some sleep for tomorrow. Jar-jar promised to take me hunting!" She smiled up. "You should get sleep too, maybe sleep will help you think."

GypsyCrest19 - Fumo smiled gently, and nodded. "You may be right, sleep might just help me think. And you have fun tomorrow, but be careful." He told her, and stood up as he nudged her gently towards her den. "And get some good nights sleep, alright? May the Keepers watch over you, as you sleep." He said before heading towards his.
