It had been a couple of days since his parents had allowed him to go on his last excursion, and goodness had it taken a LOT on convincing! In a way he supposed he couldn't really blame them, he kinda was trailing around nipping at Magi Vulkonus' scarf. He'd managed to damage the seams quite some bit before his Mother had spotted him and leaped into action bowing and apologizing profusely for his poor judgement.
He had simply rolled his eyes at his Mother's words and pulled against her tight bonds to try and bat at those seams a little more. but she was having none of it. Before he knew it he was being drug back to the den by his tail.
And that was the last time he'd been allowed outside the den. Come to think of it, his tail and bottom were still a little sore from all her tugging! He was sure the mountain she had made out of his situation was nothing compared to how silly it actually was, but she was his Mother. Surely she had some point to her madness?
The cub continued his walk, narrowly avoiding the larger stones, stubbing ones paw was a very undesirable outcome in these parts. When something hit his ears, the sound of rolling rocks!
"H-Hey? Who's here? I heard you y'know!"
His voice deepened into something very strange and funny sounding as he tried to replicate Magi Vulkonus' voice. His chest puffed much like a paroo's and his little paws stood trembling. Surely it was nothing dangerous right?
Magi Vulkonus wouldn't let anything scary in!
A gasp of shock escaped his little jaws as a realization hit him square in the gut.
'What if it was Magi Xiaofan'
"Oh no" He whispered, "Please don't me Magi Xiaofan..."

Today Mazin was on a mission of sorts. His mother had grown tired of looking after him all day, what with Mazin clinging to her like a bug and all. The part that was the worst for her however was that Mazin knew he was annoying. It was incredible to him, how easily his family was flustered by his antics and playing. It made him laugh.
