Living in the swamps wasn't for Zerrin all the time. Swamps tended to be dirty and muddy and just full of unwanted sludge and questionable content that could cake on to his fur at any given moment. Zerrin was still a cub though so the questionable caked content did often happen having siblings and the like of his age. He tended to still try to avoid such dirt as much as possible.

Today the cub set out for exploration on what he assumed his own. He wasn't straying to far from the den but far enough where he was 'edgy' for a cub his age. No matter how prissy a cub was they were still , well, a cub. A curiosity often ensnared even the most level headed or prissy of that age range.

His paw steps were well calculated as he stalked about the marshy terrain keeping his eyes on the ground below and the brush ahead. He was careful and pretty well coordinated for a cub. The icky feeling of sludge was a well enough motivator for the cub. Of course this being the swamps there was almost always the promise of mud beneath his pads. That was okay though. Zerrin had grown used to that.

Ribbbbbbbbbbbbbbitttt

Zerrin fell back at an unexpected croak. No, he did not land his rear predictably and comically in to some mud. He luckily lucked out there, but he did get his heart racing. Out of the brush hopped the noisy offender. The green creature boredly looked to the cub and made the offending sound again. Zerrin took a breath.

"Silly frog," He muttered to him self.

Zerrin wasn't the only one of Apanthi's children who heard the frog croaking. And unlike the yellow cub, Nagua was eager to hear the noise. There were only two reasons why the teal boy wasn't slopping through the mud after it. Firstly, he could move much faster if he wasn't slogging through the water and whatever else was in it. Secondly, it was a lot noisier, splashing through mud, than it was to walk on the dry paths and branches.

The frog croaked again and this time, Nagua could see it. So he did the most logical thing in the world.

"Yiiieeeeeeeee!" the cub yelled, pouncing on the unfortunate amphibian.

Zerrin jumped a bit at the sudden appearance of his brother. The cubs next instinct was to hide in some swamp brush. Though after a quick observation he voted better of that and stayed put yet his worry and cowardliness read on his face easily. Zerrin was not born the most fearless of the litter. He stayed silent for a moment as he recomposed him self the best the cub could. This was his twin after all.

"Y-yieeee." His tone was flat but not bored. Zerrin just didn't sound excited and enthusiastic as his brother. But Zerrin did his best to act as if he hadn't had his heart about to jump out his throat from the surprise.

Having splashed down in the muddy water and thoroughly coated himself, Nagua cautiously lifted his paws to see his prize. Beneath the two black shapes was...nothing!

Nothing!

The cub's face assumed a crestfallen expression as he stared at the empty space that should have held a frog. How could he have missed? He'd been right there! He'd jumped and pounced and he should have caught the frog!

Frowning, he looked up at his brother. "Where'd it go?" Obviously Zerrin had seen all of that, so he should know, right?

Zerrin shrugged when his twin looked to him. It was a little disturbing that the amphibian had just vanished.

"Maybe you scared him off and he was really a spirit and just poofed," Well the golden cub was hopeful!

Ribbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt

Right on top of the gold cubs head perched the ever triumphant frog. Zerrin heard the creatures sound but had no idea where it had come from. He just figured he was right and the blasted thing really was a spirit of some ancient thing. He looked to his brother.

Nagua frowned at his brother. That didn't make any sense at all! How could a frog be a spirit? It was a frog! Then again...maybe there were frog spirits? He wasn't sure, but it still sounded kind of silly.

A sudden noise drew his full attention and the teal cub looked up to see the frog perched right on top of Zerrin's head. Yellow eyes widened as he took a few cautious steps forward.

"Don't move," he whispered loudly, before launching himself at his brother's head.

"Don't move?" Zerrin didn't have time to tilt his head in confusion. His brother was upon him and the white gold lion was tumbling over. Frog and all. He flailed wildly. Some how in the midst of the chaos the frog had found its way on Zerrin's face which made the golden cub flail all that much more.

"GET OFF! AND GET IT OFF!" Normally a frog wouldn't be to much of a deal being a lion but in the confusion it was just another unpleasant thing for Zerrin. Especially with the creature on his face.

Dirt was now the least of his worries it would seem.

"I got it, I got it!" Nagua replied to his brother's panic as he frantically swatted at the frog, trying to catch it in his stubby paws. Luckily he didn't have his claws out, as his blows kept landing on everything but the frog - Zerrin, the ground, mud puddles, etc.

One thing was for certain. That frog was DEAD MEAT.

Oh and the two boys were getting completely coated with mud. But that was just a pleasant side effect of being in the swamp. At least, it was for Nagua.

Zerrin stayed still hearing his brother proclaim he got it only to be met with clawless paw after another to the face. He opened his maw in protest only to be met with mud to the face and mouth which had him spurtering and spitting while his brother 'dealt' with the frog. Mud was getting everywhere. Zerrin flailed in protest.

"YOU'RE HITTING ME!" He protested in a whine. Zerrin clawlessly kangaroo kicked his brother off of him and got to his feet where he shook him self off. The caked on mud would need more than a shake off though. Zerrin was sopping wet and mangy looking like any good healthy swamp cub his age should be. He was not completely happy about this fact.

Zerrin tried to lick his paw only to be greeted with a tongue to mud experience which once again had him spitting. He was a grumpy cat by this point. Bits of frog clung to his face.

Zerrin's whine barely penetrated Nagua's awareness. But the feet to his belly definitely made him take notice. Also land on his back and groan. Dazed, the teal cub climbed back to his sore feet. He looked around in confusion.

"Where'd it go?" he asked dumbly, not yet realizing that he'd utterly obliterated the amphibian on his brother's face. All he could see was mud and Zerrin and more mud.

No fair! He wanted his frog!

Zerrin had yet to really realize he had the former frog hanging off his face. That was until a leg fell off the cubs face. He started pawing at his face immediately after.

"I think the frog ended up dying." He spitted to the side after his face was good and kinda clean. Really all his fussing did was smear more blood and mud all over his face. Zerrin looked savage almost. Macabre. But his kind eyes kept him from looking like a terror of some nightmare.

Ribbiiiiiiiiiiit

Another frog entered the clearing between the boys. Zerrin took one look at it and then to his brother before a playful grin spawned on his maw. He was already dirty. What more could a little playing do? The frog hopped off in to the bushes.

"After you brother," He held a paw out to his twin.  
PostPosted: Wed Jul 31, 2013 5:52 pm
...oh. Ew. That wasn't at all what Nagua had wanted to do with the frog. Still...if they had this opportunity...might as well take advantage of it, right?

"How's it taste?" the boy asked cheerfully. It never occurred to him to think his brother looked any different than normal. The markings in yellow and white were still the same under all the mud and blood and bits. He was just properly mucked up now, the way Nagua liked to be.

Then there came the ever so distinctive noise of another frog. The teal cub's yellow eyes lit up with excitement and glee and he barely waited to hear Zerrin's invitation before romping after the amphibian.

"You're mine now!" he called out to the little green creature.

Zerrin wasn't about to answer how the frog tasted. Mostly because he didn't want to think what was caked and smeared all over his face.

Nagua was already a paw ahead of his twin taking the chase in to account. Zerrin was now focused on both his brother and the frog as well. The golden mud caked cub took off after his twin and the frog giggling all the way.

Never mind the accidental casualty of a frog before.
