[PRP] Follow me! (Malagueña x Omwancha)

[Pearlyblue]

Omwancha felt the sudden tug on his tail, and plopped down in a sitting position out of sheer surprise, at the same time as he tried to turn around to see what was happening, the result being a quite adorable almost-tumble that brought him more or less face-to-face with his only sister.

He aimed a half-hearted swat at her face, frowning in annoyance even though he already had a sinking feeling that she wasn't going to be easy to get rid of.

"Don't bite my tail! You'll mess up my rhythm!" He tossed his head in an effort to look down at her in a suitably haughty manner and puffed out his chest. "And I don't have the time to play with you, anyway. I'm really busy right now." He wasn't, but it had seemed like a really effective thing to say when some older cubs had told him so only yesterday, and he figured that since it had made him leave them alone, it should work just as well on his sister.

Right?

Uh, crap. Omwancha's mouth hung open for a moment. He ha not counted on there being such a fool-proof way of getting around his dismissal, and now he found himself stuck with a lie. He quickly looked around for inspiration, but found none. Drat. This must be why Mother had told him lying was bad: It was really embarrassing to get caught in one.

"I, uh... I was..." Come on, come on, think of something... Oh yeah! Omwancha straightened up again gave his sister a serious look. "I was trying to think of a rhythm. Yeah, I'm trying to find out what my rhythm is. I... don't know if you can help me with that."

He was being vague because his sister was being really cute. Even though it was annoying, she was offering to help him out, and she just wanted to hang out with him. The sting to his pride at having been yanked by the tail had almost died out, too, so it was difficult to stay angry for that reason as well.
