The sound of soft steps echoed through the area around the king cheetah as he padded along through the territory. His head was ducked slightly, the soft jingle of the chains on his neck filling his ears and comforting him slightly. His heart still ached as he thought about what was held within the moon on his neck but that was to be expected. Loosing his only love would be a pain he would never forget, sure it had gotten easier to manage over the years but it was still something that hurt whenever he thought about the other.
Mercury visibly shook his head, clearing his mind of the thoughts that had begun to plague him. This wasn't the time to be remembering pains from long ago, he needed to focus on his task at hand. Er well if he knew what that task was at least. He knew he needed to learn the layout of the group's territory and so he had left earlier to start exploring and getting a feel for things but then he had ended up just drifting off into his thoughts and growing rather bored of just walking around alone. The feline allowed himself to come to a stop, settling back onto his haunches and lifting up a paw to groom the fur that rested on top as he debated on his next course of actions. It was then the small mute feline crossed his mind and he decided right then and there that he was going to go find Aesi just so he could pester the smaller feline.
And so the cheetah pushed himself back up to stand, stretching his chest towards the ground before picking up his pace once more. During his search Mercury had drawn closer to the border and an unfamiliar scent drifted through his nose. Curiosity got the best of him and the male made his way towards where the scent lead, taking him to where Vincent resided by the border. Upon first glance Mercury was quite upset over the other's appearance but he didn't let this emotion show to the other. Appearance was everything to Mercury and so when he saw another who didn't even care for their own it honestly quite irritated the feline. "Hello there," he called out in greeting as he drew closer to the other. He puffed his chest out slightly, his steps becoming softer with each one he took. "I suppose I should ask but what business do you have with being on the this land?" he hummed out the question.
