Mazuri had curled up beside her mother's side after the lioness had returned from her duties to the pride. She was content in dozing in the shade, the heat of the sun continuing to blaze down upon her dusty coat. She did not envy her darker-coated sisters, especially Mthunzi, her coat the darkest of them all. She was imagining silly things as she dozed, like antelopes with wings on their heads big as elephant ears that carried them off the ground in flight, but dragged on the ground when they were running.
Paws twitching, Mazuri imagined herself flying alongside them, the clouds brushing against her fur. Then she realized, it wasn't the clouds brushing her fur, but dust kicked up by someone's mighty leap. Mazuri blinked, raising a paw to brush away the grime that lay across her muzzle as she saw the perpetrators: Mthunzi.
She got to her paws and stretched with a smile. "Nice catch, -unzi." She said mid-yawn. "Can't help thinking it might have been more impressive if your prey wasn't asleep though. Mama says most prey-things move when you start chasing them." Shaking the drowsiness brought on by the heat was a challenge, but Mazuri puffed out her chest playfully anyhow. "If you want a real play-hunt, I'll run from you! C'mon!" She jumped forward towards her sister, poked her in the side with a paw, and then jumped away. "C'mon, c'mon! You too, Noxolo! Hunt me! Betcha can't catch me!" She said before darting away and waiting eagerly to play with her sisters.

Mazuri let out an excited squeal when she found suddenly both of her sisters at her shoulders. For a moment, the hotness of the day disappeared and they were simply running about the savannah without a care in the world. Then Mthunzi cried out a challenge and Mazuri gave a final shove with her hind legs leaped forward, clearing enough length that when she rolled over and scrambled, it was her paw that touched the shade first.
But the shade didn't feel like ground, it felt strangely cool and wiggly and... "S-S-Snaaaaake!" She hissed and stumbled back with alarm.
---------------------
Usiku, the snake that had been disturbed via a giant paw coming down upon her back from the heavens, was displeased to say the least. The black serpent raised her head and turned two irritated eyes onto the perpetrator. It was a young cub, a brown one, with two more in pursuit. The snake uncoiled herself and then slithered forward, causing the brown cub to hiss in alarm.
While she realized that it would end up being three against one if she stayed, Usiku was reluctant to give up her resting place. It was the perfect mix of hot from the sunlight, but not in direct sunlight to make her regret her black scales. Sunbathing in a drought, even for a cold-blooded creature, was not as enjoyable as one would think. So, she raised her head from the ground and gave an eerie hiss, warning the cubs away from her and fixing a pointed look at each of them for good measure.
----------------------
Mazuri had frozen stiff when the snake hissed at her and let out a small whimper at the look the snake gave her. "'Thunzi? N-Nox?" She glanced back at her sisters with fear in her round eyes, "Whaddo we do?"

Mazuri looked to Noxolo with a frightened face and then turned to 'thunzi, who hadn't spoken a word. Was 'thunzi more scared of the snake than either of them? Well, in that case, it was probably for the best to do like Nox suggested. With a gulp and hope that the snake didn't bite her, the brown cub approached slowly and let out a mewl of uncertainty when the black snake hissed at her, warning her to stay away.
"W-We're sorry for spooking you." She squeaked. "We just were eager to get into the shade." Come to think of it, her paws weren't burning off like they had been earlier. Was she getting used to the heat, or was she too scared to feel it? Whatever the case, she took a step back and said. "B-But, we don't need it anymore, so we'll just go home, I guess. Just, don't bite us. P-Please?"
It was much to her amazement then that the snake raised its head and seemed to size her up, before slithering out of the shade and away from the cubs altogether across the ground. Mazuri watched in astonishment as the black wiggling thing became lost in the horizon. She glanced at her sisters with a slack jaw.
"Noxie... It worked! You're a genius!" She said, tackling her sister happily. "You're-You're-You're a snake whisperer!"
Big Hobbit Do you guys wanna end it where they fall asleep in the shade or go home to tell their mom or something?
