Her explanation played over in the cub's mind for a minute as she was explaining it, his expression blank, though at some points perplexed. Why would someone 'tag' another? It was needed for hunting or fighting, or at least it didn't seem to be.
Why put up the effort? But, if this lion was willing to "play" with him, then it was best that he agreed.
Nyota stood up and began following Mawi Mai, hopping along on three legs with his tagging paw lifted as hers had been. That was the right way to play, wasn't it? Though it looked and felt, quite awkward for him.

Mawi smiled as he stayed behind her. "Try runnin' a little fast." She encourage as she slowed down slightly. He is the weirdest cub I've ever seen. She thought to herself as she turned foreward not wanting to trip over anything as she ran, that would make her look like a fool.
Even though she was wondering if that was what he was already thinking of her. She just looked foreward and kept on going.

At her voice the male stopped momentarily, paw still raised as he looked at her. Nyota had to lower it for a minute lest he fall over, but her suggestion confused him.
"Iffah do dah I fall..."
He inquired to her, calling back to the female before starting off again, wobbling along at a quicker pace, which, didn't herald great responses as he fell several times while trying.

Mawi paused for a moment and her face became puzzled. "Umm... What? I hate to be rude but I have no clue what you just said."
She started walking toward him and giggled a bit. "You don't have to lift up your paw until you are close to them, then you lift it up and tag them." She smiled and sat down waiting for the other cub to explain what he just said, she was stuck on that.

The lion felt an odd, embarrassed heat flush over his face, like he'd been out in the sun too long and it'd gotten warm and red under the fur. But no other part of him felt the blush of what seemed to be slight indignation, and the lion stopped, finally lowering his paw.
Nyota stared at the ground hard, attempting to find another way to explain what he'd said without expecting /saying it/, as his annunciation of things was still quite rough.
In another moment, the cat gave an exasperated sigh, frowning as he shook his head. He really could find no other way to explain it.

Mawi growned for a moment. "Oh? Thats fine, then just say it again, I can figure it out." She smiled at him trying to be as nice as she could.
She had to admit this cub was slightly strange but heck she was probally strange to him. She smiled and waited paenitly her claws going in and out of the dirt in her mind she thought of beats.

The juve could sense the slight aggravation at the mention of the topic, and not one to instill violence, or want to provoke it or hurt feelings, the male buttoned his lips and shook his head with determination, so much so all of his grown mane fell into his eyes.
It then took Nyota a moment to get the fur out of his eyes, before hopping over-enthusiastically over towards Mawi, smacking her with his paw before racing off like a dart.
That was how one played, right?

Mawi blinked. Did he really just tagged her. She laughed and jumped up and started running after him. "HEY!" She gigggled madly as she ran. "That wasn't fair!"
She sprang after him her tail wipping around and her smiling and laughing.

Though he may not have been the best at 'tagging' or 'playing' with someone, when a game involved running away from something or someone, Nyota'Chali was in his element. For the first while of his life it had been all he'd done, and because of such the cat seemed to be built for it like a greyhound would be.
He was certainly lankier than most his age, and though smaller was built with a stream-lined figure, enabling him to get away. Now he found some joy in the exercise, once or twice looking back at the cat chasing him.
"Izso fare!" He meowed in reply, hoping that he was right. How confusing were these 'games' at times.

Mawi Mai giggled a bit trying her hardest to push herself along. She was laughing and catching up slowly. She reached out a paw but failed. She fell back slightly then tryed again this time almost geting him but almost did not count.
Her mucles burned under her body as she was getting tired of running. She couldn't do it for much longer. She sighed for a moment and sat down."Okay." she was panting. "You. Win." She laughed wrapping her tail around her foot.

Of course, Nyota barely heard the girl and if he truly had, how was he to know what "win" meant? It durely didn't mean the plain and simple "stop", or at least it didn't exactly sound like it had. So, tail whipping out behind him the male kept running, wondering how long this would last.
Not as a complaint though, countless times before he'd been run down and chased off for what seemed like hours upon hours without rest. So until she told him how to stop the game -he assumed she had to tag him?- he would keep racing along steadily towards the sun.

Mawi Mai's eye arched at the male. Why was he still running. she looked up at the sun. It was starting to get a bit dark, she had to be home soon. She panted as she started to run after him again. She laughed the best she could but she was getting tired. She pushed herself foreward coming up behind him.
She swatted out a paw pretty sure she got him, she felt her paw hit somthing soft. She flopped down where she was and looked at him. "Gottca." Her tounge flopped out of her mouth as she looked around.
"I think I have to go home now." She looked down at the ground for a moment, not very happy to have to leave the fun that she was having behind.

Then, just when he was thinking that either the lion he had been 'playing' with had either A) ceased pursuit or B) stopped the game or left, a soft paw grazed his flank. That was the tag, and on a dime nearly the mustard colored male had veered around and was looking back at Mawi.
"What do whe do nyow?" Nyota inquired, panting slightly from the excursion. But her comment cut him short, and the male's brow raised in slight confusion. "Home?" He knew what home /was/, but was this not where his new-found playmate lived?
Besides, they were just getting started! Nighttime didn't hinder these 'games', it simply couldn't!

Mawi Mai laughed. "We just end it. We had fun." She grinned and pawed at the male. She flipped her hair out of her eyes. "Yeah I got to go home. My mommy wanted me back before it got really dark out and its starting to get dark, by the time it takes me to get home it will be really dark."
Her ears went down some. She hated leaving her friends some times. She was considering him a friend. Yes she was. She gave him a cubbish grin before pawing at him once more.
"I'll see you again." She grinned. "I'm always wandering around, next time I might have my drum and make more music for you." She giggled at the thought and winked at him before turning around.
"See you later Nyota." With a flick of her tail she turned around and started heading home.

Through her explanation the male sat with a taut line growing across his maw, brow furrowing. He didn't like how this game ended, or her laughing at him, even if nothing was meant by it.
"See yuu latar." The cat replied, watching as his newfound friend left him alone for their own home and family. Drum, mommy... Both words he'd have to ask Jua about when he himself got back.
Standing, the juve gave a slight stretch and began at an easy lope back towards where he'd come from, the thought of the encounter still on his mind.
