Ibtisam x Safi'moja
Ibtisam
It was a bright sunny day and Ibtisam was in a bright sunny mood. The yellow cub was doing her best to weave some of the hardier savannah grasses into a bracelet – it was a rough chunky plait and she’d tugged some flowers into it. It wasn’t some fabulous work of art but she was pleased with it and put it aside to pull more long grass up from around her.
She was gonna make one for momma and her sisters and her and maybe ones without flowers for daddy and for the boys and…!

"Sammie!" Safi'moja called over to her sister as she bounded through the tall grass. The cubs green eyes spotted her camouflaged sister. The black cub slowed down as she neared her, "What are you doing?" She asked, wondering why she would be picking grass. "Are you feeling sick?"
Ibtisam
“Nooo?” She dropped her mouthful of grass, looking at her sister in surprise. Ibtisam hadn’t been swallowing the grass and so it hadn’t occurred to her that it might seem like that was what she was up to. So wasn’t sure why her sister and tilted her head, offering that pleasant but /confused/ smile they all knew so well. She was a nice cub, friendly and sunny – but she was a bit dim.

Safi let out a laugh at her reaction, "Then what are you doing silly." she asked as she helped gather the grass that she had dropped. Safi had thought their fur colors were strange as they mirrored each other so she made a note to try to hang out with Ibtisam more. "Mama wanted me to check up on you."
Ibtisam
“I’m alright.” She giggled, not because it was /that/ funny but because she loved to laugh. Safi was her sister and naturally Ibtisam adored her. It was nice too to think of momma thinking of her too.
“Hold out your paw and I’ll show you!” She asked, planning to slip the bracelet on Safi’s paw and let her have the first bracelet as a gift. It had pink flowers and white flowers and would suit her.

Safi had finished gathering the long blades of grass at her feet and looked to Sam with a curious look. She was always up to something and Safi could never tell what she was going to do next. But she did as her sister told her and held out her paw. "Please tell me your not going to spit in it..." She couldn't hep but think like one of the boys.
Ibtisam
“Ew! No.”
She said and wrinkled her nose, before lowering her head to pick up the plait-bracelet. It’d only last a day or two, the flowers fresh for now but not for long, but it was cute! Least she thought so as she splipped it over her sisters paw and let go. A quick tug to one end drew it tight enough not to slip off. She might have been bubbly and confused at times, but she’d managed a basic slip knot just fine.
“There! A bracelet for you. Do you like it?” She asked, hopeful.

She looked down at her paw as Sam quickly slipped it over her paw and tightened it. Her eyes widened and she smiled wide. "Sammie I love it!" She exclaimed and looked back up to her sister and pounced on her laughing. Sam might have been older, but that wouldn't stop Safi from having a little fun. "It's so cute!" she looked back down at it and got off of her sister.
Ibtisam
“I’m so glad you like it Safi!” Sam felt a rush of pride, and for once felt clever.
As her sister got of her, Sam decided it was her turn to pounce. They could have some fun playing together now Safi was over here. She could make bracelets for everyone else later. It wasn’t like the savannah was gonna run out of grass!

Safi'moja
Safi felt her sister land on top of her and she toppled over with the unexpecting weight. She let out another laugh and her green eyes narrowed as a playful growl emitted from her thought. She used this opportunity to grab ahold of her sisters ear and she tugged lightly
Ibtisam
Sam growled in response, and within two seconds had forgot the bracelet entirely. Her nearest front paw was batted gently against her sisters neck and she tried to tug her ear away. Maybe if she stretched she could grab an ear too…
Ah, it was good to be a cub!
Ah, it was good to be a cub!
Safi'moja
Safi tried to keep ahold of the ear, but with the gentle force of the paw on her neck, and the ear moving in the opposite direction, she couldn't hold on any longer as she felt the fur slipping out of her teeth.
Ibtisam
Sam let go of the ear and giggled, flopping over onto her back in the grass. Her legs were up in the air, her little mini-mane had flopped back and she was far too amused. And open to attack of course!
Safi'moja
Safi backed away and crouched down. With her black fur she didn't blend into the savannah very well, but she didn't know about hunting skills now, she was enjoying the day with her sister.
Ibtisam
Sam rolled back on to her feet and copied her sisters stance, tail curled forward and the fluffy tip waving like a black flag over her back. She too didn’t have many skills yet but this was how they’d learn. Having fun together and playing under the bright sun.
