[PRP]Iyinisiw & Parents (Lathano & Nyekundu)

[Sareibear]

The tiny leopardess blinked and blinked as she opened her eyes. She had just been sleeping. She uncurled herself from the little ball she'd been resting as and glanced about, bright pink eyes so distracted by everything around her. Her little fluffy tail was doing a good job keeping her small body balanced as she got to her paws, mewing softly. Iyinisiw wasn't exactly sure where her parents had gotten to while she'd been sleeping, and the young white-furred female padded softly and slowly toward the entrance of their den. She stopped for a second and plopped onto her haunches, peering out through the entrance, blinking furiously at the increased brightness. The little cub lifted a front paw and pawed softly at her eyes, as if to rub them. She mewed again, this time louder, "Mother..." She called, pausing, her little tail swishing behind her, "Father...." Iyinisiw called out again. Such a small soft voice, she hoped they would hear.

After waiting another moment, the small white cub decided she could try her luck stepping out of the den. She thought it was likely pretty big out there, and it was definitely very bright, but she knew that her mother and father would not be far from herself and her siblings. The tiny leopardess pulled herself to her paws again, and with a deep breath, braved the outside. She dashed forward, stumbled over her own paws and tumbled through the entrance and into the dirt on the other side.the white-furred little female coughed as a small cloud of dust kicked up about her as she lay on her back, staring up at the bright sky.

Lathano was not far from the den as he had been making sure the other cubs didn't take off too far. plus he was not about to leave his daughter that was still sleeping alone. his ears twitched as he heard his daughter mew and call out out for him. quickly he got to his feet and went over to his little pink eyed daughter with a smile. it did not take him long to find her at the front of the den and on her back. " well hello sleepy head. what are you doing?" chuckling, he sat down near her and looked down at her.

Nyekundu was off not too far away and looking after the other cubs. she really had become a over protective mother and made sure it was only her, Lathano or his parents looking after the cubs. she currently was occupied, so she left Lathano to take care of their pink eyed daughter while she kept track of the others.

Iyinisiw blinked up at her father for a moment, then rolled over and pulled herself to her little paws, covered in dirt. "I was just lookin' for you guys." She grinned, but it was interrupted by a yawn. She flicked her tail and then took a couple steps forward and brushed against his front leg. The little pink-eyed leopardess then sat at her fathers feet, contented. She didn't particularly feel like playing with her siblings right now, in her opinion this daddy time was much better. She was getting kind of hungry, but that could wait until later- mother was busy with the others anyways. "Can we do something-" Iyinisiw paused and looked up at him with big, pink puppy dog eyes, "Just me and you...please?" The tiny female wanted to take this opportunity while he wasn't busy with everyone else to spend some time with him, as having so many siblings hadn't allowed for this just yet.

Iyinisiw wanted to spend alone time with mother too, but she understood that it made more sense for her to take care of everyone all together for now. Maybe when they got a little older. The white-furred little female didn't feel terribly interested in paying any attention to her siblings, she wanted mother and father's attention, but was sure that all her siblings felt this same way too. Though it was nice to play with them and have something to do...She shrugged and stared down at her toes for a moment, little fluffy tail swishing and curling around her fathers paw.

" if that is what you really want Iyinisiw, then yes just you and i can do something while your mom looks after your siblings." Lathano had no objections to giving his daughter some one on one time. it really was hard with six cubs to give each of them one on one time, so he figured he best take this opportunity to do so while the rest of the cubs had fun playing and being watched by their mother. " so what would you like to do?" he ruffled the top of her head with a paw very softly with a smile.

Iyinisiw wiggled excitedly in place as her father agreed to spend time just with her. She would have understood if he'd said to play with her siblings instead, but she was glad all the same. Her tiny white body swayed slightly as he ruffled her fur with his paw, but she pushed up against his paw to brush against him. "Can you show me how to hunt something?" She asked, getting up and bouncing around at his feet, pink eyes gazing up at him hopefully. She swayed her fluffy little tail around behind her and did a little jump then settled in front of him. Hunting was something that she was interested in already. She hadn't watched her parents hunt anything, but she had watched her siblings trying to pounce at bugs and the occasional mouse.

The tiny white-furred leopardess didn't understand how it was done. She wanted to be a huntress for the pride when she grew up, and in her opinion it was best that she had all the training now. "Teach me how to get bugs better than my brothers and sisters." She demanded. Which didn't really seem like a demand coming from the cute little package that was Iyinisiw. This, however, was just the beginning of what was to become the bossy little thing.

Lathano knew each of his children would want some one on one time and that he should give that one on one time when possible. he knew that was going to be hard with six cubs to raise. " i could teach you a few things, but you are still very young so don't expect to be able to hunt anything but bugs, mice or lizards." he wanted to make sure his daughter knew that she wouldn't be hunting any real game any time soon. " lets find us a mouse or a lizard for you to catch. then you can proudly show off that you caught something today to your mom." her demanding anything was not going to worry him as it was a trait she got from her manipulative and bossy mother. besides he wanted his children to be strong and not pushovers to the others in the pride but he hoped for his kids to have a soft side at lest with him and his mate since they both planned to treat their cubs kindly but with a hard paw.

The tiny leopardess grinned up at her father and giggled. "I knowwwww, daddy." She groaned as he said that she wouldn't be able to catch anything. But Iyinisiw wanted to grow up to be a great, strong hunter, and she wanted it all right now. She growled a little and pounced ahead of her father excitedly, wiggling her little tail and gazing back at him with her bright pink eyes. "Come on, come on then!" She called at him, tearing away from him without waiting. The little white-furred female knew that her father could easily catch up, and she wouldn't go TOO far anyways, even though they were in the lands of their pride, she knew that others here were mean and may not treat her with utmost kindness if she came across them alone.

Iyinisiw wanted to cause trouble sometimes, and she didn't really want to listen to her family, but at least she knew it was for the best. Though, thinking on it, she likely preferred father to mother. And her brothers and sisters were negligible in her mind- she only wanted to be a better hunter than them. She stopped running and looked back for her father. She'd have to wait for him to find her something to hunt anyways. "Daddy!" She yelled for him, flicking her tail impatiently and taking a moment to look around. It wasn't a lot different away from the den, but it was all new and exciting to the tiny white leopardess.
