Mairëa was toddling along when out of the corner of her eye she was Mírya, her twin, take a little tumble. She would have laughed, but she was focused. She was following closely behind her mother, matching all four of her paw steps as she moved. It must've looked silly from far away, this stern-faced little cub following in the paw steps of a much larger lioness.
After a bit, the cub got bored and started walking her way over to her twin. She used her hip to bump Mírya's hip playfully. "I saw you fall, ya know," she spouted with a giggle.
Kayitz glanced behind her, making sure her one (of four) little girl was still following close. She turned her attention to her other cubs, sighing a bit. She was tired - this wasn't her first rodeo, as she'd had cubs before, but Alki and Zawadi were only two. That was world's away from the four the gods had presented her with this time around.
They were energetic and wiggly and there were four of them. It was overwhelming at times, but she loved them all dearly. And she constantly found herself marveling over little Sahar, taking after Kayitz's own mother, Irit, in her sandy coloring. They were each so tiny and precious - not to mention rambunctious. Kayitz looked around, wondering what Sahar and Delara were getting up to.

Delara was no where to be seen, so completely hidden that she was nearly invisible from her position crouched down in the short grass. Her reddish-pink coat blending in perfectly with the green grass tickled her sides. She was a professional, completely poised and deathly silent as she stalked after Mírya. Each move forward timed with the precision needed to avoid detection. Well, at least in her mind as reality was quite a bit different. In her excitement she couldn't seem to quite contain her tail as it flicked around behind her. The visual going quite unnoticed to the cub-huntress as she lost herself in her own imagination, the narration provided by herself easily drowning out the very obvious giggles that bubbled out of her when she watched her sister smack straight into the ground. Something that doubled when she realized just how good she was going to get her.
Taking this as her moment Delara began to quietly adjust her back feet, getting ready to pounce when Mairëa suddenly came into the scene. The perfect distraction! Oh they were making this so easy, this was going to be so good. Barely able to contain another round of bubbly laughter, she grinned, they were going to be so scared! Excitement rising she decided she couldn't wait a moment longer, and the little huntress pounced from her spot intending to land on either one of the twins with a loud, "Boo!" before she fell into a fit of laughter, not even waiting to see if either had even been spooked. This game was just too much fun.

Mairëa didn't see Delara, although she should have, considering just how well her sister's coat blended into the tall grass. All the same, when Delara pounced, Mairëa was heavily taken aback. "Ahh!" she shouted in her shrill little cub voice, tumbling over her own paws and onto her back with an "Oof!" followed by a mess of giggles. "That was a good one! Can we try again? I promise I won't be so scared this time!" She sprung to her paws, gathering herself to see her twin's reaction.
In one corner were three of her cubs - Mairëa, Mírya, and Delara, all playing a game of who-knows-what. It seemed like the latter was using her cub energy to scare the twins, which was an easy enough task at their age. They seemed to all be having fun together, which was always a good sign.
In another corner, Kayitz spotted her little tan cub napping in the most ridiculously luxurious nap position. Her small body was lounging, entirely stretched out, with one paw covering her eyes. Kayitz smiled and padded over to observe her cub, so distinctly different than the rest.

Kayitz studied the little cub, watching her roll over and then start making helpless little sounds, likely spurred on by whatever it was she was dreaming about. The mother was about to wake her up when Sahar's soft green eyes popped open and she announced her hunger. Kayitz laughed, "Of course, little one. How about you go play with your sisters first? Food will come soon." She avoided sighing externally, knowing that hunting as a mother of four was a much harder task than hunting for herself. Even if the kids were still on milk for their first few months as cubs, she needed to find big enough game to produce that. And that was always a challenge on one's own.
Leaning down, she nudged Sahar. "Go on, play! I'm sure the other girls are missing you."
Mairëa glanced over at Mírya, seeing a mischievous glint in the other girl's eyes. She then looked at her mother and Sahar, noticing her mom nudging Sahar gently. "I think" she started, "Mom might be sending Sahar our way..." The cub shrugged. "But if you want to pounce on mom, I'm definitely right behind you." She grinned, big and silly, ready to join in on whatever it is her twin wanted to do. Meticulously, she stretched out with her front paws and put her rump in the air, wiggling it and her tail, eager to get on with playing.

"Moooooom," the cub resisted her mom's nudging, disgruntled that food was not already in her tummy. In her resistance, Sahar went tumbling forward in an awkward summersault, landing sprawled and dusty. "Hmph! Fine." The cub got to her feet awkwardly and scanned for her sisters. The first she spotted was Mairëa with her rump in the air. She let out a giggle and bounded towards her, awkwardly tackling her, though she knew it was coming. Stealth was not Sahar's strong suit these days. She was easily distracted though and when her own tail waved in her line of sight, she lunged for it, landing in an odd donut position.
"Whacha guys doin?" she asked as an afterthought, tail in her mouth.

Delara saw Sahar bounding towards them before she could tackle one of them, and with a bright giggle she could hardly keep herself from bouncing in spot. "We're going to pounce on Mom." She announced, her voice low, like this was a precious secret they just had to keep, though the excitement that brimmed over in her little body made it come out a lot louder than initially intended. Still, she was a master huntress and of course she was just loud enough to not be caught.
Or at least she hoped. Either way when Mirya seemed ready to join into the action she couldn't wait any longer. "On three?" Lowering super camouflaged body into the grass she began with some timed. "One..." Her eyes locked onto their mother, her imagination running wild as she pictured this as her greatest hunt ever. "Two..." Stalking forward she felt her breath hitch and before she could even get to three she was up bounding towards their target with a bright giggle and a loud, "Three!" right before she pounced, wrapping her paws around Kayitz's back leg. And then, for the fun of it falling onto her side and trying to bat at her tail. All the while giggling like this was the best thing she'd ever come up with!
