Kiayishia & whoever :3

The lulling sound of the waves ebbing onto the beachfront... the sheer, ocean breeze... It was all so addictive; before she knew it, she was back on the island like a bad habit.

Sitting upon her haunches beneath the leafy fronds of a palm, was Kia, tending to a persistent tuft of fur on her forepaws, whilst absentmindedly enjoying the meager rays that reached her through overcast skies. In truth, around the midday, she was a common sight on the beach scene; however, uncommon she’d often appear, no matter what time. She was equipped with an appearance that lingered on the minds of many – an assortment of brown-hued spots graced her pelt which clung somewhat loosely to her svelte frame, mocha colored stripes were evident amongst her face, ears and tail, the silky gloss of it all... And more so striking, were her piercing, purple pupils. Yet, as intimidating as they might appear, she was near always in a cheerful mood, today being no exception. All she desired now was for someone to come make her day. With that, she stifled a brisk yawn, breaking away from the pelage of her paws to scan the beach. So far, no good, but if no one showed, no big - she’d definitely go scope them out.

Grinning like a crazed fool -which, arguably, she may well be- Nyx pounded down the beach, little paws blurring with the splashes they created in her wake. Her petite, feline form folded and unfolded like a cheetah's, dark gray fur blown backwards despite the stillness of the air. She was moving plenty enough for herself and the air around her. Then, as suddenly as she'd started, nearly a half-mile back, she stopped, every muscle tense and wired. Goofy, tufted ears cupped bolt upright on her head and her sharply green eyes were focused, unmoving, on some unseen target in the distant jungle, their pupils shrunk to the point of disappearance. After several drawn-out moments she relaxed and padded off into the dry sand like any other islander might have done. Whatever had sparked her mad chase had evidently vanished as completely as her excitement.
Had she been the defensive type, she might have claimed that the sudden spaz attack was driven by some blip in DNA that her housecat genetics had caused. Had anyone on the island ever owned a cat (doubtful) they probably would have accepted that answer as well, knowing as the must how panic could drive an innocent cat into a frenzied attack on the once-friendly living room rug. Nyx just happened to be a little bigger and had more room the spread her legs.

Now, under any other circumstances, she would have been, utterly, at a loss for words with the view of sprinting kougress crossing her peripheral vision. But this is Anathema; there’s no set standards for something to be considered in the “normal”. Plus, in Kia’s mind, no one was normal to everybody, and if that was the case, those ‘norms’ would be snore fests, so she oddly welcomed the sight.

Raising to a stand as the unfamiliar female quit her rather random fit of running, she approached her and she perceived at distance that, well, Nyx was quite small – something she hadn’t encountered in almost forever. Yet, Kia didn’t tower over many living things, including the girl before her, so as she closed the gap between them both, leaving a yard or two of space, she found herself only a couple inches taller than her, though not as petite. “Hey – what was that about?” The reminiscence of her prior laughter evident was in her smile, her brows slightly knitted in both amusement and confusion. At the same time, she hoped that she wasn’t running from something, something that may be the cause of the desertion upon the isle.

Just as her ears had settled back to their relaxed state, a familiar sound brought them back to tufted attention. The sound of paws on the beach. Her face lit up as she caught sight of the approaching kougress. She noted the new scent of the female, and, rather than trying to place it as she had in the past, she happily accepted it as unknown. Smiling her uniquely crazed, sweetly honest smile, she finished closing the distance between them.
"My legs wanted to run," she said in response to the other's question. A shrug rolled off her narrow shoulders down to a slight flip in her fluffy tail. "I'm Nyx," she added, extending a friendly paw.

"Ooohh." She cooed with recognition, almost as if it was an explanation she'd heard before, even though it clearly wasn't. Lurching backward in a lavish stretch, Kia briefly eyed her company's paw, having been slightly unfamiliar with the greeting offered. Yet, she took note of the friendly gesture quickly and returned it with a gentle shake before taking a seat upright, her tail lashing at her sides. "My name’s Kiayishia. Kia for short." She responded as she withdrew her own dainty paw, ears swiveling as she eyed the scenery amongst them, unaware of any changes. "Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you before."

"Kia..." smiling, she let her paw fall from the other's and repeated her name in an attempt to commit it to memory. Although, try as she might, she had the worst memory for names of anyone she knew and probably wouldn't recall it until halfway through their next conversation (should there be a part two).
"But no! I'm not new," she exclaimed, bright eyes exaggeratedly wide, "Aren't you?" Nyx had thought that she was meeting another one of the island's newcomers and hadn't stopped to consider that the girl would be expecting the same of her. Of course, after her last few encounters with "new" people she should have realized that there was more to the island than she'd ever really discovered. She did, after all, only really know the island alpha and his favorite haunts.

At her question, she gave a curt, but not rude, roll of her eyes accompanied by a mild grin. That question came as often as rain on the island. At least, during the summer. And with that thought, a wispy breeze traveled ashore, bringing with it the scent of a future storm brewing quite a ways out over the water. "Nahh, not at all. I've been here almost... 2 years." Her head cocked slightly as she concocted the conclusion of her response, the wind tousling her lush bangs before she idly swept them aside, continuing. "In fact, I'm the Beta Fae of this place." She didn’t find too much importance in the position, even when her boyfriend had been appointed as the fellow beta, but it did validate her point. Still, the more Kia would think it over, the more it seemed as though there was a lot to the island yet to be discovered. But, better than newcomers are the felines accustomed to the strange island's past and current commotions.

Nyx shook her head in disbelief, reviewing her past few eventful days on the island. How many other practically-natives would she run into that she'd never seen before? Having lived on the island for a fair amount of time herself (she wasn't very good with numbers or she could have said it was approaching three years now), she never expected this, her most recent visit, to be so full of unfamiliar faces.
"Beta Fae?" she questioned, forehead creasing in confusion, "What does that mean?" Her knowledge of Ananthema's hierarchy barely stretched far enough to cover Isaiah's alpha position, and the thought that there might be other ranks out there hadn't even crossed her mind. It had only been a week or so, and already she'd learned so much. ...Why couldn't every visit be this full, she wondered breifly.
