(( Self-RP - Set while Maer'ksh is a cub and Usare is a Juve ))
Lalala~ Wasn't the world fun? Mear'ksh rather thought so, bumbling about in that way that very small cubs had. She wasn't really big enough to do much yet, but she was tired of laying around the den. Who cared if her mother had said not to leave? She was demon. And she would do whatever she wanted. "Do what I want, do what I want~" she murmured quietly in a little sing-song voice. "Hm... what should I do? Killing things is fun, blood is good good..." the young demoness mused, a rather insane light in her eyes.
Ooh... well, well. There was something up ahead! A lump, a form... red and black and silver. One of her older half-siblings? Indeeeed, it was. Hello there! Grinning, she crouched down and wriggled her rear, creeping toward the sleeping form. Then, she quickly ran forward and pounced - small teeth latching onto an ear.
Well, that got Usare's attention and he sat up with a yowl, batting at whatever the hell was biting him. "Ow! Hey! Get off me!" Snarling, the larger lion frowned down at the cub he'd knocked off his ear. "What d'you think you're doing? Little runt..."
"Not a runt~" Mear'ksh replied, still in that sing-song voice. Then she smiled almost angelically. "I'm your little sister, you should be nice to meeeeeee~"
Usare frowned. "You are not my sister. Our moms were different. And that doesn't mean you get to chew on me either way! Go play with someone your own size." Huffing, he laid down again with his back to her now.
Mear'ksh eyed him for a moment and then leaned up to dig claws into his spine - raking downward. She'd really liked when he yowled before. It meant she hurt him! Hurting was good, that was fun... oh yes.
Usare growled at that and whirled around again, aiming to swipe back at her now. He had been trying to be nice, but if she was gonna be a brat...
Absolutely delighted by that (he was going to play!) Mear'ksh growled back and grabbed at his paw with claws and teeth, not caring if he hurt her too. Any pain was good, even hers!
Great. Usare made an annoyed sound. Now he had a cub attached to his leg. "Get off me."
"Noo-oo don't want to! Having fun here," Mear'ksh replied, going back to chewing on her 'brother's' leg. Tastyyyy. Oh, blood! Yay!
Usare winced. All right, this was getting annoying. He needed to get rid of her. Damn kid. "Hey. HEY! If I find you somethin' else to play with will you leave me alone?" he asked, shaking his leg to try and get her off.
Wide mis-matched eyes stared up at him then, Mear'ksh instantly distracted. "Like whaaaaaaaat?" she asked, blinking at the older male.
"Uhm. Like... like a mouse... or maybe a rabbit." he suggested hopefully.
Mear'ksh seemed to consider that for a moment or three. "Mouses die too fast," she said then, quite seriously. Mother had given her one once. She'd killed it in less than five minutes. Then all there was to do was eat it. That wasn't fun!
Usare rolled his eyes. "Fine. A rabbit then." He was pretty sure he could catch one... he knew where there was a den of them not too far away. And even better, the female rabbit was pregnant right now and slow. Getting up, he stretched a bit, claws flexing out and in again. "Stay HERE. I'll be back," he told her, and padded off.
Mear'ksh nodded eagerly and then planted her rump in the dirt, wiggling excitedly. A RABBIT! That would be great... something bigger than a mouse and that would hopefully live longer while she made it hurt! This brother was the best one EVER! Not that she knew his name. Oh well~
It took a bit of creativity to catch the pregnant rabbit without killing it... but... Usare was nothing if not inventive. He ended up laying in wait under a bush for several minutes until the male rabbit left... then he bounced on the top of the den to scare the female out and pounced on it with a growl. Leaning around quickly, he chomped down on a leg - breaking it so the rabbit couldn't hop away. It made panicked noises and scrabbled at the dirt, but he had it now. Grinning, he started to drag the animal back toward the cub. "Here," he said finally, dropping the creature. Of course, it immediately tried to run but fell over thanks to the broken leg. "All yours."
Mear'ksh's eyes lit up. "Oooh... hello rabbit..." she purred, stalking toward the hurt animal - completely ignoring Usare now. One paw flashed out and claws caught a long ear, drawing blood and making the rabbit panic even more. Mear'ksh laughed. "Can't get away now! You're MINE."
Unconcerned now, Usare shrugged and went to find another rock to sleep on - away from the noise.
