 Carles was stretched out in front of his mother's den. It was warm, the sun was shining on his back, and he was full. All was well.
Lazily he stretched out a paw. There was a group of sticks, just within paws reach, that he was trying to arrange. Oh, not into anything specific. More to have fun, and see what it would do.

Mtima lurked in the background keeping low to the ground, mimicking some of the others he had seen at play do so. Closer and closer he lurked up behind his brother with his ears flat and his eyes narrowed a bit in concentration. He wasn't about to just let his brother go off scot-free without any sort of play. As he crept closer he paused and stared at his brother's tail. Quietly he lifted up a paw and hovered it above the space where the tail was and waited.
...Waited...
...Then he moved to swat at his brother's tail with an outcry of, "Hyaah!"

Lost in daydreams, Carles had had no idea his brother was sneaking up behind him. He near jumped from his laying position and his fur stood on end. After a moment, his tail unfloofed. "Oh yeah?!" He issued his challenge and leaped to pounce on his sibling. Only one would rise victorious!

"Yeah~!" Mtima challenged back fearlessly and got ready for the pounce as best as he could but nothing really prepared anyone for a pounce. Suddenly he went under and he attempted to try and get the best of his brother by staying moving and wiggling about so he could try to get at the top of him instead. "S'what you get for bein' a lazy," he teased cheerfully. He seemed to have taken it upon himself to try and keep his brothers active and moving instead of just laying about and doing nothing.
Or at least it was his goal of today if nothing else. A paw reached up to playfully push at his brother's face as he laughed.

Carles succeeding in his pounce. He gave a cute little mock growl and tried to nibble on his brother. "Wasn't being lazy! I was....uh... contemplating! Yeah, too bad its above you." He mocked. A surprised look crossed his face as his brother wiggled his way to the top. Now he was in the dirt and getting it all over his white coat. What would his mother say?
His forepaws wrapped around Mtima as he struggled for a hold. Back legs lightly kicked at the other. After all, he didn't want to do any damage.

He moved to n** at his brother's ear with a small laugh, "Above your head too if you couldn't think of the word at first, ha!" Mtima bounced the tease right back at his sibling as he struggled about in the hold trying to get free so that he could renew his attack.
Mtima didn't seem to care that his coat would get all dirtied up by the dust of the ground as he continued to play with his brother. He wasn't aiming to do any damage either his bites and other play actions were just firm enough so that his brother knew that he was there and not willing to give up. "What were you thinkin' so hard 'bout?" he grunted as he pushed at his brother to get free.

He gave a mock growl. "Well at least I can think of it. You're just scatter brained." He snickered and pulled his ear from his brother's mouth. The wet ear hit the ground and the dust became mud. "Ugh." At the same time his paws tightened. His claws were kept carefully retracted.
Carles gave a great heave, trying to get the upper hand.... paw again. "Oh, this and that. You give a thought what you want to do?" He peered up through the dust they were kicking up. Honestly, he was glad for the distraction. It was lots of fun to scuff around with his brothers.

"Takes a scatter brain to know one~," he taunted not seeming ruffled by the return taunt, Mtima laughed at his brother's displeasured sound and moved to smudge his paws against his brother's face before trying to wiggle more determinedly to get away so that they could get a fresh start and get himself a new point of attack.
He laughed at the question as he continued on with the struggle, "Only when import'nt!"
Not that the young cheetah had too many important things to consider right now his life thus far was a somewhat simple and easy one with a few oddities tossed on there that he simply accepted as the 'norm'. There were a few things that may have frightened them but after he decided not to think about them they were quickly forgotten in favor of playing or just other thoughts in general. "Were youuuuuu thinking about import'nt things?"

His return reply was muffed by the paws in his face. It probably wasn't very flattering anyhow. Because of the paws in face, his paws lost their hold on his brother. Carles tried to wiggle out and climb to his feet. He spat out dirt.
"So whacha gonna do when you encounter sumthin' important? Eh? You'll have no practice." He made a funny face at the other cub. "Yu'll get bowled right over. Like this!"
He gave a dramatic pounce onto his sibling. "Aaawwww, well I dunno. Ever consider what you gonna do once you'd all grown up?" His paw gave a poke into his brother's side. "Or ya just gonna lay around all day?"

Mtima rolled over a bit and clambered onto his four paws and shook himself a bit and then crouched with his rear into the air as he stared at his brother, "Maybe, maybe not. How do you know I don't practice when you aren't lookin'?" he retorted cheerfully when his brother questioned his contemplative skills. He did sometimes sit around and contempla--OH NO! Suddenly he went under his brother with a squeak.
See? That's what contemplating and thinking got you.
He tried to grab and lightly bite onto his brother wherever he could reach and whenever he wasn't biting he spoke, "I dunno what I wanna be yet. Do you know what you gonna be? Like I'm gonna lay around all day, gotta keep you in line an' show you who is boss!" Mtima taunted.

Carles rolled and bounced to his feet. "I dunoo. Maybe you are." He jumped when his brother squeaked. What is it? What's going on? His eyes darted around for the danger as his brother dove under his legs. He tried to dance around without stepping on Mtima or his tail. "What?!"
"Hahahaha! J'ou can't be the boss!" He kept hopping to keep his legs away from his brother's jaws. "Maybe I do, and maybe I don't. Wouldn't you like to know?" He teased playfully.

"Haha, fooled ya!" he cried out as he moved to jump at Carles while he was totally not suspecting it. All awesome things happened when your brother was busy worrying about something else like why you made a strange sound! He was trying to gain the upperpaw once more and this time he wanted to keep it.
Except now it was getting hard because he was feeling sleepy. It showed as his actions slowed.
He snorted at his Carles' denial at him being a boss, "Why not?" he retorted. "Why not tell me? I'mma find out sooner or later," he replied.

He giggled at being taken by his brother's trick. Oh well! Carles growled playfully and tried to buck Mtima off. His legs quickly got tired carrying the extra weight. He panted and looked back at his brother. "You're heavy!"
"I dunno, would you really want all those things that come with being one?" He giggled again, "aawww, you'd just fall asleep half way through it. Then what use would it be?"

"Am not heavy!" Mtima chimed out somewhat indignantly though he did flop off of his brother and eventually just flopped over onto his side. As much fun as it was to play he was getting tired now. It took so much energy to play sometimes that it just seemed to hit him all at once sometimes. A nap sounded splendid.
Stretching a bit now lazily he muttered, "You're right. Takes a lot of work. You can be the boss for me," he teased lightly as he just laid his head on the ground, his tail lazily tapping on the ground. "Mmnn. Tell me one day at least, please? I really do want to know Carles!"

"Awww ok, maybe not that heavy." The cub gave himself a good shake once free of his brother. A couple licks to his shoulder then he laid down and stretched flat out on his tummy. Ah, it felt good.
Carles gave a giggle and nudged his brother with his head. "See? I make sure you don't have a lot of work to do. That's what brothers are for." He nodded to try and make himself sound wiser. "Course I will! I trust ya not to tell anyone else." He laid a front paw comradely over Mtima's shoulders. "Would you like to nap while I keep watch?"
