Lofn was very much her mother's daughter... In fact, one might have gone so far as to say that she was a little bit too much like her. Quite frankly, if anyone happened to know this particular cubs family, then they would have realised very quickly that she had inherited the traits of both parents. Unfortunately, that meant that she was both observant and bit lacking in tact.
Today was to be of no exception, she had at least been given permission to explore (after being caught out of the corner of her mother's eye sneaking away), and now she had put just enough distance between herself and her mother to see the 'interesting' stuff. What was deemed to be interesting to a cub remained to be seen, but on this occasion it didn't take long for something to catch her attention.
...It came in the form of another cub.
For a while, Lofn merely watched, attempting to work out exactly what the paler cub was hoping to achieve. However, after observing for a whole minute, the youngster soon found herself bored and made for a more direct approach. This came in the form of her plodding along after Sarani with rather less 'grace' than Sarani probably appreciated, if she hadn't yet noticed the purple cub though, she was certainly about to.
"Whatcha doin'...?" she asked at last in a curious, rather musical tone.

"Ooooh, so kinda like how my mom used to sneak after my dad and pop up to scare him," Lofn seemed to acknowledge this, she could see how being discovered would be noted as a loss as they would lose the element of surprise. Granted, Sarani might not have had that intention, but on this occasion it seemed fortune favoured her - after all, when one was practicing how to sneak, who better than to try and team up with than the daughter of a stalker, right?
Except Lofn couldn't sneak to save her own life at the moment, she was much too noisy.
"She used to steal his stuff too," she confessed and then rubbed her chin thoughtfully. The little cogs in her head seemed to spin as she contemplated how best to make this a two-player game, but surely this was simple enough.
"We could see if we can get that band off his tail without him noticing," Lofn pointed towards an unsuspecting Freeborn with a surprising amount of subtlety. "Need to be extra sneaky and if we win then we get a prize!" She paused. "Except if we lose then we might get yelled at but mommy always did say you had to take some risks in life!"
Admittedly, Naima had said this to their father, not her cubs, but Lofn wouldn't have been a normal cub if she hadn't eavesdropped now would she?

"Yup, that's how it works!" Lofn gave a confident nod. She had never actually tried this particular game before and had no idea whether she even possessed the ability to sneak with quite as much skill as her counterpart. She really did have the potential to throw a spanner in the works and thoroughly disappoint Sarani in the process... but it wasn't as if Lofn had promised she was any good at sneaking, only her mother was.
"And even then," Lofn raised a paw, adopting a dignified expression in an attempt to look more mature. "I know the super secret trick to d-d-d hm..." she paused briefly to collect her thoughts. "Diffuse? Yes! That one! I know how to diffuse the situation if we get caught," she soon patted her nose in a trust me kind of way and gave a nod.
"So we might even win anyway and still get the prize, just gotta be smart about it, mhm!" She peered back towards her newfound victim, who seemed to be dozing in the sun. For now, he remained unaware of their presence but whether that would last or not remained to be seen...
