Leo climbs onto Shizan's back and gently but firmly grabs onto Shizan's fur so he wouldn't fall off.

"I'm ready," Leo said with a nod before burying his nose into Shizan's fur and taking a deep breath. Shizan smelled wild and, well, like the forest he lived in. Leo smiled.

[Okamiryun]

Shizan nods and runs getting them home in about 2 mins. He purrs the whole way there "i hope I didn't run too fast Leo"

[star478]

"Not really no," Leo said once they arrived back at the temple amazed at the speed Shizan could run at. It was about as fast as a car from back home. Maybe he should ride Shizan more often... "So, now what? I've bathed, we've toured the temple, we've mated. What else is there to do while I'm still mobile and not weighed down by the kits?"

[Okamiryun]

Shizan thinks"you can meet my family, or we could look around my turf. i found a really nice cave"

[star478]

"Is there a way we could do both?" Leo asked as he climbed down from Shizan's back only to sit on the edge of the bed. "I would love to see your family as well as to see this cave you found. And I would like to see it before I'm unable to do much because of the kits."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan nods and smiles "Ill set up a meeting it shouldn't take long. the cave can be later so it can be kept as is"

[star478]

Leo smiled and petted Shizan's head.

"Just as long as you don't wait too long to show me the cave," Leo said. "Or else I'd be too big to move around inside the cave."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan nods and purrs"ok you'll see my family in an hour." he runs off Leo can here loud roars now and then.

[star478]

Leo gulped nervously when Shizan left unsure of if there were anything (or anyone) in the temple that may harm him. He went ahead and took his clothes off for when Shizan got back and laid back on the bed, waiting for Shizan.

When he heard the roars in the distance, he sat up and gulped nervously again, wondering what Shizan was telling his family. All of this may have been just a ruse to get him comfortable before they killed him. That and other less pleasurable thoughts flitted through Leo's mind as he waited for Shizan's return.

[Okamiryun]

The others are scared too. Shizan slinks in after a while grinning happily "I set up the meeting. My family is cureiuse about you now. we will meet them by the edge of my turf. How are you Leo, you look like something bad is going to show up"

[star478]

"I-I'm fine. Really, I am," Leo said somewhat nervously with a nervous smile. He then got off the bed and cautiously made his way over to Shizan. "When do I meet with your family? Do we go now or can we wait?"

[Okamiryun]

Shizan watches and turns human. Holding his hand out for Leo"its in a half hour, we should go now sence you want to walk. You smell of fear did something happen?"

[star478]

"N-nothing happened," Leo said and took Shizan's hand nervously. "Then let's go because walking does sound like a good idea."

[Okamiryun]

Shizan hugs Leo then lets him go. He cannot help but to worry for his mate. "ok lets go once your dressed"

[star478]

"Okay," Leo said while returning the hug. So far, Leo could tell that Shizan didn't want to hurt him, but he couldn't help thinking (especially after hearing the roars and not knowing what they meant) that maybe Shizan and his family had other plans for him.

He got out of Shizan's embrace and gave him a quick, nervous kiss on the cheek before going over and quickly putting on the clothes Shizan gave him. Whatever will happen, Leo wanted to get it done and over with as soon as possible.

"I-I'm ready," Leo said nervously once his clothes were on.

[Okamiryun]

Shizan nods and leads Leo to a nice clearing once he is dressed. There are other jagures like Shizan only they are all bigger. There are a few other animals a tiger ,a parrot of some type, and a margay.

[star478]

Before Leo completely entered the clearing, he paused at the edge at the sight of the other jaguars and the tiger. He gulped nervously and nervously followed Shizan, nervously going between each of the jaguars and the tiger. In human society, these cats were dangerous to humans.

Attacks involving big cats that he saw on the news began to flit through Leo's head as he nervously stood next to Shizan waiting for whatever will happen to happen.

[Okamiryun]

They all turn into humanoids. The bird maintains his wings and his bright colors. He stands next to one of the larger jaguars. One of the smaller jagures stands next to the tiger. the biggest jaguar is alone however. He walks forward and looks Leo over like a dog does a piece of meat. Shizan holds Leo close.

[star478]

Leo relaxed a little when the tiger and two of the jaguars turn into humanoids. However, he became even more nervous when the biggest jaguar of them all looked him over as if he was a piece of meat.

He gulped nervously again and grabbed onto Shizan for comfort despite his heart racing at what felt to be 100 miles an hour in fear.

[Okamiryun]

The big jaguar smiles "nice to see you again, so what are you? You seem to have no animal form like us. Your herd is certainly strange."

Shizan rubs Leos arm gently trying to comfort him as he whispers in Leos ear "That is father. He won't hurt you. He is assessing you, if you fit as my mate or not."
