Courting the Tiger Princess

Thus the night continued on like a sleepover on Earth would, they giggled and played with each other. The truth made a bond like no other, they giggled over the simple things. The sweet people around the village, their looks and how they compare in Sasha's eye from another world. They played late into the night and slept throughout.

Come the following morning things became interesting once more. Once the sun rose and the people began to come from their homes, in the center of the village there was a presents from mysterious admirers. They were many and they were all filling with ....

Amber and Sasha giggle til sunrise, not tired as they had a night filled with all new things. They come from the house, only to find the other villagesfolk gawking once more at the village centre. As the two make their way closer, all eyes become glued to their every move.

"What is up with them this morning? Can't they look elsewhere?" Amber made nervous by the staring.

"Well it could be that whatever is at the center of this crowd, has our names written on it." Sasha says boldly without missing so much of a beat.

As the pair encroaches on the middle of the crowd, the people get more excited and look swoon even before they know the cause. They look intensely, focusing more and more on Sasha. Once they made it to the center, the gifts covered in animal skin became visible. The scent of prey and predator mixed with the marking of someones strong.

"Look the person of the hour." "We have to see what she does!" "Are you sure this will work?" "She must be about to get a mate." The crowds are now jumping to conclusions, all their own. The heartfelt reasoning of the gifts did come to mind, the person was trying hard to court a mate.

'So, could it be those guys from yesterday. Luke the Tiger or Tyme the Falcon? Geez I just met them, are they really that interested. I guess in this world men must know what they want in one instance.' Sasha could only find herself bothered and annoyed.

Sasha looked closer and tossed throughout the furs. She found lower grade gems and pretty furs, alongside the nice amount of food. It looked like a set of gifts that took so much time to settle. Amber looked over Sasha's shoulder and looked amazed at all that was before them.

"Did all this come for you? What could you have done to make some one want to give you all this?" Excited and bubbly as she grades all the gifted items.

"I didn't do anything as we talked about, what could I have done really. I think they are just jumping a none existed gun." Tho unpleased with how the resources were acquired, she still happily looked through the stuff for things to her liking.

Some where else at the time of the commotion in the square, two figures stand smiling. Well build as they are watching from the distance, bordering the cities edge. They seem both amused but also pondering a larger idea.

"Well it seems that our gifts have been received, why don't we go and see what she liked more. That will prove which one of us is better and who has to packet it up." The voice of proud tiger, low with base and sharp like his fangs.

"Please we know damn well that I made better use of the time, catching darling furs that would suit her beauty. She will never be scarred with the beautification gems I had gifted her with." Broad shoulder and falcon wings sleek and gleaming under the rising light orb.

As the girls happily or lackluster investigations of the well presented and well thought gifts at the village centre, the tiger and falcon walk with purposes to see the excite and take their places as centers of attention. They seem to glow with a brisk wind blowing about your freely moving hair. The crowd soonly acknowledges the approaching beast. The last to see the confident predators, were the gentle handed and keen eyed beings furthering their mental list of things.

"Soo… How are the gifts? Tell us which ones please you more." Loud and prideful, with chest toned and puffed to match the voice.

A stare glossed by radiances, yet keen by nature. "I would love to know what could be improved upon to better please you."

Startled by the sudden voice projected and intended for ears sensitive to sounds. Both Amber and Sasha looks backs, one happy til the speakers are revealed and another unsurprised by the voice echoing. A sense of familiar unsettling stares intensifies.

"Here I was wondering which of you did this, seems you did even turned this into a place for victories. Too bad I'm not pleased, you guys really should have done better to please your hearts yearned for." Smiling like a confident one would smirk, both happy sweet and evil in intent.

Surprised by the colorful flood spilling from a darker dam pretty with a glow, she pulls Sasha back to whisper to her. "Are you sure you don't want this? I mean so much in one night would be some miracle to collect. Should you not at least take the gifts with sweet souls spilling from your windows?"

Deeply felt, her luster, prim and polished. "I would never give up my place as prideful, powerful and elegant." Soft and soothing but toxic in it's deepest meaning.

The watchful beast flinch at the poison lacking attraction, heartfelt like a million needles flying into the ears surrounding them. Everyone flinched but the more riveting and infamous scene of soul crashing force facing passionate flames. Glued hard not to miss a moment, never could a camera be needed more, the four stars acting out the show consuming all around them.

"What....
