Cyrus chuckled airily, his throat rasping on the edges. "Murder? My dear Hero, you jump to such conclusions!" He glanced off, a dazed, yet amused, look on his face. She has stronger opinions than I thought- unless, of course, it's one of her play of words again...
Standing, with his tail wrapped around his legs, the cheetah began again in an almost scolding fashion. "How do you think the Empire would respond to such a horrible act of de-throning?" Was that a word? It fit his description and he liked the sound of it. Leaning back again, he placed an upturned, distressed paw across his eyes in shame. "I know how difficult this must be for you, but we must plan ahead."

What better way to scheme than in a dense dark forest in the middle of the night with a partially insane ex-hunter! Great, right? xP

Ah, I just HAD to draw these two. They're pretty dangerous together, don't you think? Sorry if it looks bad... I'm trying new background techniques. So far it just looks like my dog threw up on everything, but, ya know.
I have to give you props, though, Panda. That mask of his is not a walk in the park, let me tell you. But overall, he was awesome to draw.

Kay, I'm out.
Cyrus belongs to the fabulous *blackmagepanda,
and the mutt on the right belongs to moi.
Eat on.
