Well. Once again, Yezekael was up, bright and early. His violet eyes had opened with the coming of the dawn, and he was feeling antsy. He had made the mistake of falling asleep too soon the night before, and now found himself trapped against the back of den with his siblings littered around him in sleep. He would have tried to step around them, but there was still a certain clumsiness in his little legs, and he had little doubt that he would have ended up tripping over all of them and getting into trouble.
So he sat where he was, stuck between his sleeping siblings and wondering how he might maneuver his way past them, tail twitching anxiously. At least, he reasoned, he wasn't stuck somewhere else, somewhere less... desirable. He was perfectly fine with being here, but the solitude of being the only one awake had begun to gnaw at him.
Impulsively, he reached out a paw to poke lightly at the nearest sibling in sight. "Hey, Chizoba," he whispered, poking again. "You awake?"

Yezekael frowned mightily at the suggestion, and swatted back at his brother. "M'not a scaredy cat!" He said indignantly, drawing himself up to his full height as if that would prove himself right. He was a rather large cub, so perhaps it would have worked on any other cub. He wasn't so sure how effective it would be with his brother, who was probably used to it by now, but it was worth a shot anyway.
"I was jus' bored." He said, by way of explanation. There were times when he felt he was the earliest riser in the family, and when he compared himself to Chizoba, that certainly seemed to make sense. "An' watching to sleep wasn't no fun. You're bein' a fatty." He added gravely, as if indulging in a little sleep was deplorable behavior.
"And, and," he added, as he suddenly realized that Chizoba's moving would clear a path for him to break out of the cozy den. "You were in my way." He smiled triumphantly. Clearly, that justified everything.

"I'm really fast, you know!" Zeki called out loudly from behind as he chased after Chizoba. It wasn't exactly a lie, but the speckled cub knew he wasn't the quickest creature on his feet. His size made that a bit of an impossibility, but what he lacked in speed, he made up for in a reliable, steady lope that could carry him consistently for a good while, and while he wasn't the most agile of creatures, he had a certain tenacity about him that allowed him to bulldoze his way through virtually anything.
So when Chizoba took to zigzagging his way through the clearing, it only took Zeki several turns to realize how futile his efforts were. Best he simply keep an eye on the darker cub, he decided, and alter his straight line to suit his brother's trail.
"Well, mebbe I'm not, but I'm gonna stay on you... I'm watching you, y'know!" He yelled, attempting to put pressure on Chizoba. Sooner or later, he figured, his brother would get tired.

"You are so scared!!" Zeki yelled back determinedly, flattening his ears against his head and leveling out to put on a little more speed. Chizoba was probably faster than him, but that was okay. Lots of cubs were faster than Zeki, but it wasn't quite enough to get him down. Very few things were, to be honest. Things like the sun hiding, and rain, and lions dying but even then, Zeki would find some way to put a positive spin on things. There was no point in dwelling on the things that were lacking.
"Hey I fink you're cheating!" Zeki called up, almost in a song. Cheat or no cheat, he was glad to be spending some time with his brother, even if they had had a rather heated.. "argument" beforehand.
He wasn't so sure of his climbing abilities, and he had little wish to fall, so he did the only other thing that seemed worthwhile: he sat and waited. Chizoba had to come down at some point! And Zeki thought that he had the patience to wait out his darker brother. After all, and eternity to Zeki would most certainly also be an eternity to Chizoba. As far as the spotted cub knew, time was a shared experience.
So that was it, then. Zeki was going to puppyguard that tree for all he was worth.
