In reply to: Seleth 's message, "Whew..." on 21:37:32 12/22/02 Sun

The male, once he feels Seleth's paws leave him and his sharpened senses listen to her movements to the nearby stream, rises. Almost without pause between rise and lunge, he leaps into the nearest semi-deep pool of water (healing or not) and washes the grit and muck from his glossy fur. Thrashing around in the water almost frantically, Jonrao cleans every last scrap of red-Korat scent from his form before paddling calmly to the edge and re-emerging. He shakes, a full-body movement that lasts at least a minute, but when he stops his fur is perfectly dry, except for around his claws and blade, and his ruddy mane is still somewhat damp. Now, the black-striped, white-underfurred, bronze-golden Korayat stands his full height, toned limbs holding him proudly upright, his black snout raised.

Jonrao's emerald-flecked gold eyes settle on Seleth, and his slender ears flick in curiosity. Why had she healed him? He didn't even know her. Mentally the young male shrugs, but sniffs the air cautiously. No danger. But Korat, oh yes, there was Korat a-plenty. Almost viciously, he turns a cold stare on the cubs, before the look dissolves into one of indifference. Cubs, even half-grown, couldn't hurt him. But... there was another. Jonrao sets his piercing gaze on Ayrist, ears canting backwards. Were she male, were she red... then he would attack. But, for now, there's no reason. Another judicious sniff and Jonrao's posture abruptly changes into one of sheepish apology. Pregnant females were not to be bothered in the least...! Oops.

Trying to step out of his most recent boo-boo, Jonrao trots over, a bit away from the cubs, still within Seleth's sight, as he wishes to speak with her when she finishes. Meanwhile, he examines his tailblade, blinking at the odd shape, and with his right longclaw, he starts cleaning up the excess bone, the shiver-inducing scraping sounds not bothering one who'd had to do this many, many times. Jonrao is definitely a trouble-maker, and was accustomed to somehow cheating death.
