It was all over. The last cub had been born, and Mirage, ecstatic with the four in her litter, licking the newest one's fur backwards to dry him. Two of the cubs already born were asleep, and one was happily drinking her milk. NAte watched with slight boredom at the motherly proceedings, only really wanting to make more of his lovely scars. Jett, come see them![/i] she called again to the panther oh-so-near to her. There were two males, and two females...one girl looked almost exactly like him, while the other looked like Mirage. Both of the males were different....and one decidedly odd. Instead of a black coat, his was more white and cream, and his eyes were red...
----- Info: Firstborn Esmerelda- Female. Looks exactly like Jett, with green eyes and dark sable pelt with lighter spots.
Secondborn Nimbus Male. Albino, red eyes and white pelt with creamy spots.
Thirdborn Morpheus- Male. Blue-eyed, with a dark gray pelt with silvery spots.
Lastborn Diana- Female. Like Mirage, dark, dark gray pelt and pitchblack markings, with yellow eyes.

((I didn't know what Jett looked like so I made it up a bit....))

((Oooooh! They're pretty!!!!! And yeah, I forgot to post a picture of him. And erm... They're panthers (you put Jaguar).))
Jett had been there for the whole thing, so he only had to move a foot or so to be closer to Mirage and their cubs. As Mirage dried off the last born, he licked her himself. They're beautiful, Mirage. His thought-voice sounded a bit choked on the words... like he was crying. He purred and nuzzled her before sniffing each cup in turn.

((I did? Wow....X.x I'll go correct that....))
The one's sort of odd, though,[/i] she said, puzzled. It wasn't like she should know of albinos and such- they were so rare one never really needed to be concerned about it. But here one was... We do need names. You may name two of them...[/i]

((O.O I forgot about names... Wait a moment... heh heh...))
He is odd, agreed Jett, sniffing him a second time. He didn't really SMELL different from the others... He smelled more like Mirage if anything. He looked at the female cub, the first born who resembled him the closest. He remembered the green of her eyes and how pretty and jewel-like they were. Esmerelda, He said. He loved the named, really. I'll name a boy, next... He touched his nose to the thrid born, the one with silver spots. Morpheus, I think. He nodded then licked him.

((Quick question, where does the name Morpheus come from? It sounds so familiar, and Jeni and I could place it...Livi also thinks she's heard it before.))
She'll be Diana... Mirage gently continued to lick the lastborn female. And the other may be Nimbus.[/i] She hovered over the albino doubtfully. Two of them we should take to the Guild, after Nate gets them....[/i]

((Um I read a book called the Orpheus Obsession ( really good!!! ) and then Morpheus I guess kind of means the same thing... God of Dreams I think? And they're Greek. I also used Morpheus as a character's name in a story I wrote. He was supposed to be killed off... >.<))
I like those names, Mirage, said Jett and licked her cheek. I could take one of the cubs with me, he then offered.

((Okay. I was just wondering.... Haha. Diana=Goddess of the hunt Nimbus=Clouds))
All of them fit...[/i] she purred, licking him in return. I can carry another one...it's high-time I met...Ginny?[/i] Switching to a softer tone, she asked, Are we mates, then? Or are we parting ways after this? I hope not, and rather like the first idea more...[/i]

((Hmm... I had recognised Nimbus as well. *nods* Um, well, Esmerelda means Emerald. Like her eyes. Yay Esmerelda is the oddball!))
I think you should meet Ginny. And I though that we already were mates, seeing as we mated and all. And just look at these four bundles of love that came of that! Jett nuzzled closer to Mirage, something in his heart swelling. Should I propose?

((^^))
As far as I was concerned, that did not make us mates for life. Which is what I'd like us to be, replied Mirage, licking Jett's ears. And don't bother proposing...only, as far as I'm concerned, idiotic humans do such things like that.[/i]

Jett licked Mirage again. I would love to be your mate for life. Then he licked each of their cubs in turn, realizing that his heart was starting to over flow with emotion... he was in love.

Good.[/i] she said, growling playfully. Because I would have had to tear out your throat if you said no....[/i] It was hard to tell if she was joking or serious. Nate had taken Diana as they spoke, and the cub cried out as the knife pierced her hide. Eventually, though, it healed over into a design that looked as if tattered dragon wings were on her back, and Nate nodded with satisfaction. "Nicky'll want her," he explained to Kagami. "He told me before that any that looked closest to Mirage would be nice." The innocent panther cub, now asleep, had no clue how horrible and bloodthirsty she'd become.

((Nicky as in Nerinick?))
I would never have said no, Mirage. I love you. Jett was just going in to nuzzle his new permanent mate, when the youngest cub, Diana was picked up by the healer. The human girl watched as Nate carved into the tiny panther, making her yelp. Jett almost couldn't watch, but the final product of Dragon wings was beautiful on his youngest. Who does he mean, Mirage, when he says 'Nicky'? Does he mean Nerinick? His thought was urgent.

Love you too,[/i] she said affectionately. Nate stopped to look at Kagami. "Which is it that you want? I need to know for your design..." Yes, Nerinick. Thus the dragon wings, which look just as demented as Sin's.[/i]
