Noka frowned at what Tiriel did, hiding. She was not disappointed in her sister or thinking down on her, she was worried. It didn't look like Tiriel was having much fun, and she wanted her sister to enjoy herself like the rest of them were. In thinking about her sister, and concentrating on running without tripping, she completely missed Maa's tactic idea. Completely caught off guard, she made a chirp of distress, crying out for help because she didn't know what was going on. It was hard to know whats what was what when all you had was ground and sister butt in your face.
Protesting, and wiggling under the weight of her little sister, the tiny cheetah grumbled good naturedly and responded to their big sister's suggestion, "I can't, Maa's sitting on me! Tiriel should pick the next game though." 'Zana was the oldest sister, but she was the next oldest and another natural leader. The idea was fine, but she had the next one, as soon as someone got off of her that was. More wiggling ensued as she tried to persuade Maa to move, tickling was her next tool.
Kolo didn't look disturbed that Tiriel was hiding beneath her mother. The little cub was quick and the first to be able to really move without trouble, he was proud of her. Just like her mother, she wasn't much for quick action, which was fine, she would likely be the one of her siblings to be able to think things through while the other ran off head on into whatever it was they had their mind on. She would be great, in her own way, and he smiled at her with pride in his every movement.
'Zana was a great one, but would likely butt heads with her sisters, Noka also had a leader personality but he hoped they would always work together and be friends, not come into conflict. The nuzzle made him smile, he doted on all of his cubs, and his mate, but was prone to giving extra attention to those that sought him out, or were apt to return it. Of course, as soon as it seemed to begin she was off again. He was left alone again as they all seemed to congregate around their mother. Another game was called before the first one even got to decide who was it, that was a cub for you, he guessed.
The chirp had him instantly tenses, looking his muscles ready to react before he even saw what the matter was, he was too seconds from possibly stepping on his oldest daughter because of the sound. He was just barely baring teeth, fully thinking there was a danger trying to harm one of his precious little cubs. Calming down when he saw what the matter was, worry stayed etched on his face, the fear that Noka or Maa may have been harmed in whatever had caused them to become a tangle of limbs and little bodies.
