"Of course!" Noyana said, her face turning very business-like in an instant. She'd have to show the maned wolf exactly how strong she was. Noyana was large for her age. Not fat- but muscular.
Noyana dipped down and prepared to pounce on the brown wolf, muscles bending as much as they could, then releasing, giving her the proper height to hit the wolf's back. She did her best not to use her claws, and was doing a good job.
Amaterasu had wanted to tell Fumbi that she was a seer, but the topic of play sparked something too quickly. She sat back and watched, not participating this time around. She was kind of tired tonight. She giggled as the two played.

Fumbi laughed, and let the cub pounce him, bending over a bit so she landed on his shoulders. He growled playfully, and started to bounce around, as if he intended to knock her off, but not really doing enough for that. This was the whole idea of the game.
"Noyana is strong! " He explained, jumping onto the rock, giving a round around Ammy, then jumpig off again, pouncing at the ground a bit like a wildabeast would if it had a lion on its back.
Hey, maybe proportionally, it was ALMOST the same thing? But Fumbi knew nothing of proportions.

Noyana held on as strong as she could without using her claws, but found that eventually she couldn't hold it anymore and slipped off.
However, this was not by any means the end of the game. Noyana decided that playing under Fumbi's feet would be fun, and she proceeded to bat and hit his legs from underneath. Her face was the picture of pure concentration.
Amaterasu watched the two play. Noyana's movements from under Fumbi reminded Ammy of when she was still a pup- it was Ammy's favorite way of playing with her father. "We're all not so different after all," she said to herself, too quiet for anyone to hear.

Fumbi laughed, trying to scurry out of he little paws, but failing. He should try something else. He shoved his nose between his front legs, then pushed his hind ones off the ground, doing something like a flip to get onto his back, grinning once more at the cub and pawing at her with a front paw.
But this attempt wasn't so nice, as his paw didn't move so well that way, and he rolled back onto his belly, sort of, raising his rear end with his tail wagging like a banner, looking as if he would pounce.

Amaterasu chuckled at Fumbi's clumsyness. It was cute...
Her thoughts shifted quickly to the time of day. Her shadow was starting to fade away into the darkness that was beginning to envelop the world.
"Noyana, your mother's not going to get worried about you, is she?" Ammy asked, loud enough to be heard through the rough and tumble. She gave a quick jab skyward with her nose to show that it's night.
Noyana had been about to leap onto Fumbi once more when she heard Ammy's voice. She quickly looked to the sky and realized it was, indeed, time for her to go. "I hope she's not!" Noyana said, honestly hoping her family wasn't worried. "Nice to have met you Fumbi, hope to see you again soon!" She said before scampering off into the darkness in the direction of her home.

"Aww.. See you Noyanaaa~! " He yipped, wagging his tail more clowly, as if waving. He smiled, and scampered up onto the rock again, looking at Ammy. "We look a stars now? " He wagged his tail quickly again, ears perked, and head slightly tilted to the side.
"Noyana is a very nice cub. " He said, a practicaly paralel subject to his question.

"Yes, yes she is." Amaterasu said happily. Noyana seemed pure of heart and determined to have things the way she wanted. Both qualities that the wolf liked.
She peered up and watched as the stars started to dot across the sky. One by one, they showed their sleepy faces as the sun vanished farther and farther over the horizon. "I haven't truly stargazed in a long time," She confided, moving her gaze from one constellation to the next- in awe of the greatness above her.

The male looked up too, and smiled at the stars, awestruck. He hadn't cared much about them. He'd done it once before, perhaps, but it'd been so long ago. He was a daydreamed, but he spent the whole day too active. He needed to sleep at night.
He spun, to look the other way-- but the rock block it all. He frowned, quietly tilting his hea,d then getting and idea. "Come on! Lets go somewhere more open. " He yipped, though a bit quietly, reminding himself that lions liked to sleep, and jumped off the rock.

Amaterasu followed behind him carefully. She didn't feel like leading, and was more than happy to follow. She was sure he could take the pair somewhere more open. Amaterasu trotted behind peacefully. She was sure her sons would be ok on their own... She spent the travel time devising an excuse for being out so late.

It was a while untill Fumbi was satisfied with the open space, and flopped onto the ground, rolling onto his back to look up at the stars.
"Their really pretty. " He remarked, partially to himself. His tail swished through the grass, and he looked in the direction of the pride rock, wich was much, much smaller now, starting to look more like a rock the size of a lion than the giant wonder that it was.

"Yes they are," she agreed, plopping down contentedly beside him. She was astounded by how much the distance from the rock enhanced the view- she hadn't honestly thought it would have made such a difference.
A shooting star shot across the sky in a moment. Ammy's eyes caught it and her paw shot straight up, tracing it's arch across the sky. She wordlessly made a wish.
I want to be as free and easy-going as I was before I met that male, and I want a mate, she thought. As of now, she didn't care if it was Fumbi or some other stranger- she wanted a mate that would be a good father.

"Woooaa, lookadat! " The male said, astounded as he scrambled to his paws. He blinked, flicking his ears as the star came, and then moved away. "Hey, wereya goin? " He frowned a bit as it started to get further, then grinned, bouncing in its direction a few meters away, then stumbling the other way when he saw another one, going in a different direction.
Fumbi tripped, rolling onto his paws with an excited laughter, and watching the stars, his purple eyes taking in the scene. It was so pretty.

Ammy rose to her feet, chuckling again. "I don't think you can catch them, Fumbi," she said cheerily. She stopped and surveyed the scene. Thus far, half of her wish had definetly come true. She had loosened up like she had been in the past. She was actually beginning to trust again. What a miracle, she thought, thanking the gods in her head.

"Well, it is all high 'n all. " He shrugged, and with a running start, jumped as high as he could, wich was probably like a meter, but the landing, as usual, wasn't gracefull, and eneded with his paws hitting hard on the ground, and that annoying shudder through his body.
"Ya, too high. " He shrugged, and stood on his hind paws, having to walk backwards a bit to not fall. but then he looked at her, and sheseemed sort of out of it. Perfect! He jumped in her direction, pawingat her shoulder once, then jumping back. "Tag! You're it! " He yippes playfully, and bounced backwords a bit more, before landing with his bum in the air, and waiting for her to give chase.

Amaterasu was getting good at this game, and quickly got up to play tag. She ran after him as fast as she could, hoping he would give his all too.
It had been too long
She allowed herself to be immersed in puppy-like play where there were no worries or fears, other than being tagged. It was truly wonderful. She reached out a paw when she thought she was close enough, but failed to tag Fumbi. She caught up again from the fumble and tried again, laughing.
