(( AIM RP between Taj and Kim ))
She had been sleeping a second before, but now she was awake, stirring against her mother's pale side. She stretched a little, yawned, and then cracked open an eye. The glint was mischevious. For a moment she scanned the den, glancing across the bodies of her sleeping siblings, trying to decide which one to pounce.
A brother or a sister?
No, not a brother. Brothers were stronger than her. So it would be a sister.
She pulled herself clumsily to her paws, staggering a little and cast a look up at her mother, wondering if she'd noticed a cub had dispatched itself from her side.
"Mrew?"

Yin-li was indeed awake, but dozing. Azarax was for the moment at her side offering added warmth from the desert's fading early morning chill. One eye drifted open almost lazily to land on the cub, a gentle purr rumbling through her throat with morning greeting. Another child was rousing while Vesta was getting herself together.

She was about to open her mother to squeak out when she spotted movement amongst her brothers and sisters! Ah ha! Her victim had just made itself clear to her! Instantly she hunkered down into pounce position, waving her bottom and tail high as she prepared to make her move.
Her back paws pushed down, propelling her forwards and into the pile of furry bodies. If there were protesting squeaks she didn't hear them, instead lifting a paw to bat her sister across the head.

Yin-li chuckled softly at the babies' antics, content and watchful. She was a gentle lioness as far as most Firekin went, not looking for trouble unless it found her, but she wouldn't hesitate to use her claws and fangs on anyone that intruded unwelcomed that wasn't of their pride. New mother instincts were strong, fierce within her, so she was very persistant in her vigil while her mate rested and the children began to play.

Korofi-uzulu, meanwhile, squealed in protest at being jarred in the middle of her stretch, her waking up no less! Oh there would be heck to pay, just as soon as she could figure out what the heck was going on! (She wasn't truly annoyed, of course, but tough talk was fun even if only in one's own thoughts.)
She squirmed under Vesta's slight weight, which might as well have been the world, as it was close to her own. She was bapped, and mewled, trying to roll onto her side to get back at her spot-twin with a batting paw of her own.

The paw came as a bit of a surprise and it snoofed her across the snout, sending her into a little sneezing fit. The action rocked her backwards and she fell onto the floor of the den, sprawled belly-up, paws flailing as she tried to right herself.
"Owie!"
She calmed a moment and patted her nose, testing it, making sure it wasn't too hurt. Nope, it was fine! With a little 'rrrr' she was rolling onto her side and preparing to make a second attempt at being fierce.
"Rrrrrr!!"

Koro got to her paws in that time, ears twitching a bit at her sister's declaration of pain, guilt quickly washing over her before going away again as she saw the other was fine. With a wicked grin (As much as was possible for one so young at least.) she readied herself as well for Vesta's retaliation.
"Play!"

"Play!" She parrotted, moving into pounce position again as her sister declared their game official. Brilliant! This was going to be soooo much fun! Then, without much thought, she flung herself at her sister, intending to bowl her from her feet and roll them both across the ground.
The squeaky little growl was at her throat again, filled with excitement and joy for the scuffle that was about to unfold.

Aha! The game was accepted, now it could begin!
When Vesta moved, Koro, naturally lacking the grace that would eventually come with age, the agility too, and the strength, and the stamina-- took the hit and was bowled over, squeaking out a counter growl and trying to get at her sister's ears while clumsily wrapping her arms around her other half.

The stranglehold!
The little girl flailed her paws, twisting and writhing as much as she could. She felt her sister find her ears, felt those tiny little teeth press against the fur and skin there. Oh noes! This was bad! She had to get out!
But she couldn't really see any other way than to keep hold, her own forearms wrapping around her sister, tail whipping out at the air.
"Ko-ro-ro-ro!" She squealed, sneezing again as stray particles of sand got into her nose. "Aaaa-choo!" Her nose didn't like the sand. It was too small and itchy! Shoving her head against her sister's neck, she tried to get her ears free.
