After the long rain, the mud on the trail was incredibly thick. As a matter of fact, it was thick enough to make a certain young lion loose his footing quickly. The result was a face-plant, right in the deepest part of the muck.
"Son of a bitch," Dinari growled loudly. He didn't care who heard him. If he wanted to swear, nothing would stop him. It was freedom of speech, right?
Slowly, the male pulled his head out of the mud. The little mane he had was no longer mahogany. It was now as brown as the fur on his body, except it looked a lot sillier.
As soon as he stood up, Dinari shook all the mud he possibly could off. His mane returned to its normal color, but still had chunks of dirt tangled in it. With an unamused groan, he walked forward. The mud was at least ankle deep and slowed down his movements.
"Why the hell did I take this path anyway?"
(( Yuck. I can't write at all today. That was just horrible.))

Katiana had been rock hopping all morning long, as she found it excellent form of exercise. Heavy paws hit the rocks above his head, scattering small debris into the muddy road below.
Despite having seen so few of her own kind, she knew him instantly and thusly canted her head, eyeing him with something like amusement. How undignified to be stuck as such.
"Smooth move. What's your finale gonna be?" Ooh, the smartassery in that voice, as ever. She pulled her back legs in and sat down, her pale brown eyes eyeing him from her lofty perch, only one thick black ear swivled forward to listen to him and his strugglings.

Dinari didn't hesitate to shoot the female an agitated glare. He was having one hell of a day. This feline didn't need to make it worse.
"Didn't your mother tell you not to stick your nose where it doesn't belong?" the lion spat. Not taking his eyes off Katiana, he perched on a nearby rock to get out of the mud. "Besides, it's not like you could do any better. This muck is next to impossible to walk in. When it's this deep, you're lucky to even be able to move."
Of course, Dinari was stretching the truth. A lot. The mud was deep, but his description of it was far fetched. He just didn't want to make himself look like an idiot.

She scoffed at him and curled her lip back in a sneer. "My mother never told me anything 'cept 'Run! They have nets!" Besides, I can do better, I don't walk down there, so, nya."
She let her ears fall back and put her nose up into the air, bobbing her head to the sides slightly, as though she were highly superior. This however was quickly replaced when a grasshopper lept onto her rock. Her ears went completely forward and she looked directly down at it.
'Hello bug. I see you have no trouble with the mud either." She chuckled softly and rolled her eyes at the glare she knew she was getting for her comment. "Aw, come on, I'm just teasing you. Everyone gets stuck in there at some point. It's how we all learn to walk on the rocks."

The glare Katiana expected obviously appeared. He was being compared to a bug. Great. Just great.
"Teasin', eh?" Dinari scoffed. "Well, I would walk on the rocks, but passing through thick mud makes your legs strong." At this point, he was desperate to show off. "I don't want to be a weakling, like most people around here."
The teen's lies were beginning to get rather pathetic. If he wanted to uphold a reputation, he better shut up.
Like that would ever happen.

She let out a barking sort of laugh and raised her brows high. "Oh yea? I was under the impression that that was running deer down was for. Building strength. I think you fell in."
The bug left again and she jumped down, careful to let herself fall into the muck as well. "Want some help getting out, Oh strongman Cat?"

Copying Katiana's actions, Dinari let an annoyed grown escape him. He flashed his fangs at the feline with an unamused smirk.
"I probably won't need as much help as you," he growled. "Can we get off the damn subject?" Trotting forward, the large cat kept his eye on the female.
"Who the hell are you anyway?"

She scowled and snapped her teeth irritably at the fangs, her impatient manner showing through. "Don't snarl at me, twit. At least I offered help."
She rose to her heavy feet and started to pad off, now that he was out of the mud, easily leaping back up onto the rocks. "And to answer that, I'm Katiana. But you can call me Kitty."
[ew gross short.]

Twit?! Dinari thought to himself almost instantly. She's one to talk! Of course, he never even thought about how similar their personalities were. All he cared was that Katiana, or Kitty was being a pain in his ass. Strangely enough, he felt the desire to continue speaking to her.
"Fine, Kitty," the twit grumbled. "If you think your the smart one here, help me get out of here. I need a good laugh. By the way, you should stop calling me twit. My name's Dinari."

She huffed at him and smirked, jumping back down from her rock. She padded artfully between the "muck pits" as she called them and fetched up a large thick stick.
To test it to make sure it wouldn't shatter, she took it in her teeth and banged it on a nearby rock a few times. Satisfied that it would hold she padded over to a place where she would have room enough to back up without falling in herself.
She brandished the empty end of the stick at him, realizing how ridiculous she looked with one end of a huge stick in her teeth. "biy yit.", which was presumable 'stick in mouth' for bite it.

Immediately, Dinari found himself flashing an extremely dirty look at Katiana. She looked incredibly foolish with the stick and he guessed that if he bit it he would too. However, his desire to get out of the thick muck dominated his mind. Looks didn't matter right now.
He opened his large jaws and bit down. Once his fangs were deep enough, he looked up at the feline with his normal expression.
"Aw wright," he mumbled as the branch muffled his words. "Now whaht?"

With a suprising strength for her gender and size, she began to pull backwards, throwing all of her body weight into backing up, slowly, but effectivly dragging him out of the muck.
It took one or two minor steps around small puddles to accomplish said task, and when she was done, she began to spitting out shards of bark, pulling a face everytime she found one..

Chunks of bark flew out of Dinari's mouth at top speeds. The two did indeed look rather foolish. After the display, the male looked at Kitty with a smart ass expression.
"It looks like I underestimated you," he began to slowly raise his voice as he spoke. "But could you have done it in a way that didn't make me look like a total moron?!"
Even though his voice was raised completely at this point, Dinari still had that nasty smirk. Despite the fact that he was usually mean to strangers, she helped him out of that mess. It was the least he could do.

She laughed and shrugged her squared shoulders. " Nope. Only other way I could have thought of would have been to drag you out ass first by your tail."
She shook herself off and padded through the small mudpits, hoping back up on the rocks.

"Well, I guess that beat the alternative," Dinari grumbled. When Katiana told him her other idea, the mental image lodged itself in his head. Shaking his head, he attempted to push it out of his mind.
"So Kitty," he said with new found curiosity. "What where you doing in that hell hole anyway?" He didn't know why he asked. The only reason he could think of was boredom. Talking to someone sure did beat sitting around on his rear.
