Summer fun (open, cold drinks)

[Shininglight]

The hot summer sun beat down on Shining's wings and back, as it did the same to everyone else. The striped tomcat didn't appear all that bothered by it, oddly. Everyone else searched for shade, or stayed in the cooled indoors down below. But Shining had long grown numb to the discomforts of nature. Hot and humid, or icy and freezing. A rocky path under his paws. Rain or snow attacking his body. He had experienced it all in his lifetime. Nothing fazed him. Sometimes he failed to notice the dangerous, unsafe conditions of nature- more so recently than before. A number of explanations could be used for his lack of awareness, and most of them would be true.

Nevertheless, Shining's body instinctively found its way to some shade. Several other creatures were already gathered, but the feline didn't pay much attention to them. Except for one in particular- a noticeable figure that prompted a memory from his arrival to this group. Shining stared at the female leopard- the one named Thea- as she grabbed an aluminum container and popped it open. He said nor did nothing other than keep his gaze locked on her.
