Nanu looked down at her toes, wiggling them with a curious expression. It seemed she was finally growing into those giant paws and her movements were becoming more coordinated and even graceful in a way. She was growing up as were her siblings. They were no longer the pride’s youngest and new cubs had taken that spot not too long ago. That didn’t bother Nanu – on the contrary! She was quite happy to be given an increasing amount of freedom and to know the nannies trusted her not to wander off on her own every time they turned their heads.
The young girl stood near the temple wall, leaning against it for support. The stone was quite cool which was a blessing on such a hot day and Nanu looked around for other cubs she could play with, the temperature making her far too sluggish to actually move before spotting anything worth pursuing.
