Aulii'Naia crouched underneath the cover of a nearby tree, staring out at the dismal scene. The sunny day had disappeared to be replaced with dark skies and heavy rain drops that shattered when they fell to the ground. Aulii'Naia was ecstatic. This was so much better then sunshine.
Giggling lightheartedly as she poked her head out and received several large drops to the head in reward. Tilting her face up, keeping her boy sheltered, she poked her tongue out to catch the raindrops. They were slightly warm, as they usually were when the random rains came, but they were refreshing. She longed to run out into the rain and leap into that puddle that was forming nearby, a muddy brown and big enough she could really make a wave by jumping in.
Peering over her shoulder, she padded out into the falling water, laughing outloud as it felt like tiny fingers poked her where the rain hit. For such a small cub, the rain drops felt huge. Enjoying the falling rain for a moment, she barely hesitated before throwing herself into the puddle. Water flew everywhere as she rid most of the water from the puddle. Her legs stained a dark brown, she continued to stop and laugh as she completely soaked herself.
Could anyone ask for anything better? She doubted it. This was perfect.

Girls were weird, there was no other explanation for it. Ayunken frowned at his sister as he watched her play in and out of the rain. He hated the stuff. It was wet, and cold and it made things smell bad. It was only good for when he was thirsty. "Your weird" he muttered as he continued to watch her while laying in the soft dirt of the den. He wasn't going anywhere NEAR that stuff. He was going to stay right here where it wasn't wet. Though bits of water trails had started to happen. It had been raining for a while.
He was careful to make sure they didn't hit him when he was laying. Having made small dirt wall around him so that the water drizzling down into the cave would pass by him without touching him. He glared at the opening of the den. Oh how he wanted to go out and play, but the water made him cold. Plus, if he got too dirty, his mother would give him a bath. He HATED baths.
Humph....... Was the sounds he made every once in awhile. Watching his sister in an almost jealous gaze. How she didn't care about it. Sometimes he wished he didn't. But then again, he was very picky. Picky about everything. Except food. He'd eat anything that was dripping with blood. Anything that his father would bring back for them. His tail twitched up and down every once in a while next to his body.
Lulua'line couldn't have been more happy. Laying in the cave with the rest of her cubs sleeping in the back. With two of them up and about she had to watch them. They were young, and not old enough to fully go out alone yet. No, she was paranoid. Even if she was in a pride full of watchful eyes. She guessed it was the first mother bit. Her own mother had lots of babies as well, which didn't surprise Lulua when she too, had many of them. Six bouncing babies of joy.
Oh how she wished she could let her mother see them. It had been too long since she had last saw her mother. Having left right after Her grandmother and walked out on them. Shame it was, but it was how life had to be. She smiled at her daughter, the youngest out of all six of them. "Careful, Naia" She said softly. "Don't want you to get a cold" She told her daughter. Though she wasn't too worried about her catching a cold. It was more what could be lurking out past the tree in which she was playing at.
She had given them all a quick walk around on how far they could go until they were old enough in Lulua'line's eyes to go farther. She was careful to make sure her cubs all stayed close. Though, she didn't want to seem too clingy on them, but they were so tiny. She'd have to let them wander around the pride sooner or later.

Aulii'Naia giggled, tilting her face up to catch the falling raindrops. She could feel her brother and mother watching her, which made her feel safe, because she knew her mother wouldn't let anything happen to her. As wonderful as the rain was, she knew it was dangerous too. It could make her sick or could hide danger in it's murkiness, but still, she couldn't bring herself to think of it as a bad thing.
She heard her brother mutter and glanced over at him, crinkling her nose playfully. "It's fun to be weird, brother Ayunken. Come play in the rain with me!" She turned back to the den, dropping down into a crouch with her behind in the air, chest pressed to the ground as her tail flicked back and forth in playfulness.
She nodded, glancing at her mother. "Okay, Mama, but I can still play a little longer, can't I?" She said, her eyes wide and pleading. She didn't want to leave the rain just yet. She knew if her mother forced her out of it, then it would be for the best. As if to get the most enjoyment out of it while she could, she lept into a puddle nearby, sending out a splash of water. It hit near the den but didn't quite make it inside. She squealed and flopped down into the water, thoroughly soaking herself.

Aulii'Naia giggled at her brother, looking half amused, half exasperated at his attitude to the water. "It won't hurt you, Brother Ayunken! Look," she hit the water with her paw, spraying a small wave of water. "It doesn't hit back." Sure, some of the muddy water had sprayed her cheek, staining her white coat, but that didn't phase her at all.
She sighed at her mother's words. "Alright Mama, I promise I won't." That took away her fun, she thought, eying her brother with amusement. If he had come out, she had intended to get him wet, so he would have to play in the puddles with her. If he was wet, there was no point in avoiding getting wetter, right? She stood from her puddle and lept towards another one, flopping down and giggling again. At least she could have fun on her own though.

He continued to sulk about the idea of anything wet. He didn't like it, and she didn't understand. Oh well. He envied her for her ability to not be upset by little things as he was. He wanted to be like her, yet couldn't pull himself to do it. It was strange when you wanted to do something so bad, you just couldn't. His mother and sister both said it didn't bite, but he didn't believe them. Maybe it only didn't bite them? And wanted to feast upon his beautiful blue coat?
He frowned as he watched his sister. He wasn't the most exciting cub out there. And that was known fact. His other siblings would probably be glad to join her in the rain. But he still didn't like the concept of it. He loved water, but only when he needed to drink it. Anything else, god forbid it happen. He was nice and warm where he was anyways. Still unconvinced at all about what they were saying about it.
Lulua'line couldn't help but give a small giggle at her children. Poor Ayunken, Afraid of the most wonderful thing that the earth could possibly offer. Though, food was up there pretty high. She was sure he'd over come it, but it might take a bit of time for him to do so. It was best not to force him out into it. She stood and moved into the rain with her daughter. She felt so big next to her tiny cubs, but one day she was sure that one of them will be bigger then her.
Maybe even bigger then her mate, their father, Dole. She was happy. Truly happen. Never had she thought she'd be here with six little cubs. She remembered life when she was with her family. All the fun adventures she had with her sisters and her one brother. She was happy that she didn't have all girls and one boy like her mother. She knew how hard it was for her brother growing up. An even amount seemed perfect. Three boys, and three girls. "I'll join you in the rain, my darling."

Immediately, at her mother's question, Aulii narrowed her gaze and scanned the area, trying to find a puddle big enough for both her mama and her to play in, but there was none in sight that could support both their sizes. Aww! That was no good! She was disappointed and slumped slightly. Her depression lasted only for a moment, before she grew determined.
"There isn't any big enough for both of us!" She announced, but padded away from her mother, eying one of the bigger puddles, "but Mama can have this one!" she pointed to it, before pouncing in a puddle that wasn't far away from it, but was dramatically smaller, "and I will have this one! Then we can both play in the puddles."
It wasn't the same as playing in the same puddle, but it would do! She peered back in the den, to where her brother was, a little disappointed that he wasn't coming out to play. There was another puddle nearby that he could use, if he wanted to, but Aulii didn't offer it, because she had a feeling it wouldn't matter anyway.

Aulii's eyes lit up at the idea of water creatures. "There are creatures which live in the water?" She sounded fascinated, and hurried over to the closest puddle to peer into it, her paws dropping into the water without worry. Her tail flicked behind her, spending droplets flying off in different directions and she glanced up when she heard her brother's voice.
"Ayunken!" She squealed, spotting him out of the den. "Come look for the creatures with me?" She asked, looking pleading over at him. She paused, and added convincingly, "I promise I won't splash you or anything!" Her brother was clever, maybe he would help her find some. At first glance, she couldn't see any and well, she wasn't the best when it came to her attention span.
