Okay, so surely this wasn't her first time, and not her last, but Biski was a little worried. What was she going to do with her today? Mamu was too cute, but Biski always worried about being boring. Cubs seemed to have so many ideas, and the older Biski got, the less imaginative she felt she was.
She glanced down at the little cub, wondering if she had any ideas? Possibly. It probably didn't hurt to ask, really.
"Do you have something you want to do today?" she asked the adorable grey cub.

Hamamu wasn't entirely sure where her mother had gone for the afternoon but she wasn't worried about it because she had her aunt Biski around. And aunt Biski was a lot of fun! She didn't even really need to do anything, just by being there she was fun. But that was partly because Hamamu was easy to entertain.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh," she hummed when asked if she had anything in mind for the day, "Nope! Can we play? Let's play!" She smiled, hopping from foot to foot excitedly.

Biski paused, humming the same up as Hamamu was. "Okay," she said, acting as if she had no cluuuueee what to do. Which was part of the point; she didn't have one. Everything was fine and dandy, but she didn't want to play the same game every time she had Hamamu. So adorable. She let her mind wander a bit, before...
"Tag!" Biski blurted, tapping her on the side and skittering off. Not that she'd be able to hide so well, being so big, but at least they were playing!

"EEEE," she shrieked, flailing back a couple steps when she realized she had been tricked into getting tagged. She didn't move quickly at first, taking a moment to understand what just happened to her-- and then she scrambled after Biski, still screeching as she went.
"I'm gonna get you!"

Biski laughed as she peeked over her shoulder. She looked so startled at first, Biski almost worried. Then the little grey fluff screeched as she ran after her, making Biski laugh even more. She paused for a moment, since little cub legs couldn't run quite as fast as her's, but Biski had a hunch that she might have more bursts of energy than the older girl. She'd have to remember that in case.... oh no!
"Nooo, don't get too close yet!" the adolescent laughed, skittering onto her toes and dancing away from the girl. No tagging back quite yet, had to have a little fun first! "Catch me if you caaaan!"

"Nooo!" she squeaked, pouncing out at her aunt-- and landing just shy of where Biski had been standing before she danced away. Making a faced, Hamamu scrunched back onto her hind legs and pounced out at her aunt again-- and again-- but she was taking far too much time in her attempts to pounce, and her legs were far too short.
"I can, I can, I can," she said, hopping with each time she said 'can' before trying again to lunge at Biski's feet.

Biski laughed. "You gotta try harder~!" She was enjoying staying just out of reach of the little girl, but knew better than to keep doing this the whole time. She'd have to get tagged before Hamamu got too frustrated; angry cubs were not good cubs at all. Not that Biski would ever blame her!
"Don't you want to be a great hunter when you get older, like your mom?" she asked, her tail swishing behind her. Biski wasn't even as good as Lisi, but at least she could track, and help out in one way when it was time to go out and hunt.

Mamu stopped and stared up at Biski with big green eyes when she asked about hunting like her mommy when she got bigger. She nodded enthusiastically. She really, really wanted to be a hunter like mom when she got bigger! She could bring back a whole elephant and everybody would be so happy because they'd have so much to eat. But then they might get fat..
"Yeah!" she squeaked, and then stopped with the dramatic leaping and simply ran at her aunt.

Biski was thinking about how adorable she was. Something the brown lioness thought a lot. Cubs were just made to be adorable! She just didn't realize that they could be crafty too.
"Oh!" Biski gasped, realizing too late that Mamu was headed right for her, no pause for a dramatic leap or anything. Uh oh! She wasn't going to get out of this at all. Instead, she braced herself for the impact of a flying fuzzball! Maybe not that fuzzy, but...
"Oof!"

Expecting her aunt to make some attempt at a getaway, Mamu didn't realize until the last second that she was going to ran smack right into Biski. She managed to avoid running face first into Biski's legs and used her little paws to bounce back off the larger lioness. With a squeal of delight, she pounced at the paw she had successfully tagged, clinging to it with her little baby claws.
"Got yoooou!" she said, giggling.

"Nooooo, you got me!" Biski had fun playing this up, and acted like the whole world was over now that she had been caught. And she hadn't even let Mamu catch her! She had legitimately won.
"Whatever am I going to do now?" she asked the little cub, smiling brightly as she saw her face. So happy! As she should be. "You'll be a better hunter than your Mama one day, maybe!"
Biski was thrilled to be spending time with her, and letting Lisi have some time to herself. Cubs were cute, but Biski wasn't blind to how tired moms could be sometimes. They had so much energy! And used it differently than adults did. Not that Biski was a full adult, but she was getting close!
"Tired yet?"

"Ha ha ha!" Mamu laughed triumphantly, even gnawing at Biski's paw a bit before licking it once and settling down on top of it. She was almost- almost distracted from the fact that now it was her turn to run away while Biski chased her, and it didn't matter what Biski said now, Mamu was going to run.
"Nope! Now you gotta catch me, aunt Biski!" she squeaked, scrambling up to her feet and away, "Come on!"

"Oh no!" Biski was in trouble now. SHe wasn't tired, but she knew she would be soon if this kept up. Hamamu was small enough to hide, which might complicate this game. Hopefully she wouldn't think about hiding and just run around. Lisi might be happy to have a sleepy Mamu back when she was ready for her.
She sighed as the little grey girl bounced off, filling her lungs up with delicious air before she would run off towards her.
"I'll get you, just you wait!" Not that Mamu would sit and wait, but Biski wouldn't let her win! She laughed as she chased her.

"No you won't! I'm too fast!"
Mamu gritted her teeth and made a face as she tried to run faster and faster-- aiming nowhere in particular except to run in a great big circle. Or, what she thought was a great big circle.. which wasn't really all that big.
"Can't catch me, can't catch me!" she sang as she ran.

Biski was so amused, she just wanted to sit and watch Mamu run around in...well, it was a decent circle for her. It probably seemed big to her, but it was just too amusing for Biski. That would ruin the fun, though, and so Biski followed her in that circle.
Until she got dizzy.
"Woah," she mumbled, feeling her pace slow. She skidded to a halt, needing to let her head clear a bit. "You trying to make your aunt dizzy?" Biski laughed, though it was a little more tired laugh than normal.
