Anyways, little Sayu was rescued as a cub by Kreios, who became his master and caretaker. But Sayu doesn't complain, he enjoys being with his master at all times and doesn't mind the leeshes and collars. He'd never once been put in a cage by his master, or left alone unless his master granted him time off the leesh, and during those times he would stay in smelling range of Kreios.
Sayu isn't a child, he's 16 in fact. He's just very small because of his species. He's a clouded leopard. A very pampered and loved one, at that.
Kreios has something like a black panther tail and ears, but I didn;t have anywhere to draw his tail so, eh.
BTW this is OLD D:
