Another day, another tree and another rock. Mvita looked at the surroundings and sighed as she walked down the path leading from the family's cave. She was bored again and didn't like it. There was nothing around her that was particularily fun, but she figured she would have to find it herself rather than it would just appear in front of her.
Mvita stopped, closed her eyes and shook her head in an attempt to clear her head. When she opened them again she sat herself down on the ground and studied the nature surrounding her. Nothing seemed to be going on but suddenly something caught her eye. It appeared to be a butterlfy and she quickly got up on her feet and began to sneak towards it with a big smile on her lips. Finally something fun to do.

It would seem that he'd improved on his stalking skills with his newly obtained status of 'older'. As a cub, it probably would've been within moments that his sister would have been onto the fact that he was following her, stalking through the grass as stealthily as he could, a grin on his face as his light-brown tipped tail waved back and forth through the air like a flag.
He'd almost been close enough to tag Mvita's tail, when she upped and moved again, causing the brown juvenile to frown and again move to follow her. Stealthy, stealthy..... trip and go rolling into her back legs.
Oh yeah, so stealthy.
"I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING." He defended, even though yet he hadn't been accused of anything.

Getting closer and closer towards the butterfly Mvita's smiled grew bigger and bigger and she could hear her own heartbeats within. When she was only a step away from it she lifted her paw up in the air to prepare to hit it but heard the voice of her brother behind her and lost all concentration. Startled she turned around and looked into her brothers eyes.
"You wasn't doing what?" she said, trying to hide the fact that she had been really scared by his sudden appearance. Mvita's heart told another story though, beating even harder inside her chest. Good thing he can't hear it she thought to herself. "what're you doing her anyway?" She gave him a friendly smile before turning her head around to see where the butterfly was. It had disappeared. Oh well, there were plenty of butterflies to chase when she felt like it. She looked at her brother once again.

Nitesh stared up at his sister innocently, eyed wide, before he smiled innocently, attempting to hide any and all guilt he may have had pinned on him for ruining the butterfly hunt. But it seemed as though he wasn't about to have her mad at him.. that was good, he'd figure.
"I wasn't doing anything.." he repeated innocently, pushing himself up to his feet and into a sitting position so he was on level with her. "I mean, I was just passing by and tripped.. I -so- wasn't follo-.... er.."
Smooth one, Nitesh. His ability to stalk had improved, but not his ability to shut his mouth, for sure. Tilting his head to the side when his sister looked back to where her prey had been, he shifted a bit when again he became the focus of her attention.
"Besides... what are -YOU- doing, sis?" he inquired, giving her an interrogating stare.

Hearing her brother trying to make up excuses for his actions Mvita began to giggle. "You tripped? Suuuure." Mvita rolled her eyes and laughed. "Do you expect me to believe that?"
Though as the question was asked back she quickly changed expression and studdered a bit efore answering. "I-I.. I was just.. walking." she said and gave him a sheepish smile. "You know, to find something fun to do." She looked down at the ground and played with a small tuft of grass with her paw in an attempt to get the attention away from what she had said.

"I -did-!" He insisted, trying to find a way to prove his innocence in everything. "If I hadn't, would I have fallen into you?" he inquired, quirking an eyebrow. Oh yes, he -dared- her to answer that question for him in a way that made sense.....
but then again, Nitesh wasn't very bright, and there were several ways it could have been answered.
Listening to Mvita's reply to his inquiry, he considered this. Well.. it wasn't -that- bad...
"We could always go to the waterfall! Daddy and I went there once.." he explained, grinning. Then they could play in the water and see all the butterflies and stuff...
it'd be great.

Mvita listened to what Nitesh said but only offered a weird look in return. What on earth was he saying? She began to laugh at his comment and a small tear even ran down her cheek as she did so. She really loved her brother, even though that made no sense to her at all.
As he mentioned the watterfall Mvita perked her ears and dropped her jaw. "The waterfall? Dad took you there?!" She was surprised, but at the same time she was amazed. "That's actually a great idea! Though... you don't think mom and dad will be mad?" Mvita never really thought about what her parents thought about her small adventures normally, probably because she was alone most of the time during them. Though when she was with her siblings she couldn't help to feel somewhat responsible for them, after all she was their big sister.

Nitesh seemed pleased at how well his suggestion was taken, ignoring the fact that, yes, he was so dull-witted, he was being LAUGHED at. Hmm.. -would- mom and dad mind? Well... "It's not -that- far away, I'd think.. and it -was- dad who took me there, so they shouldn't get mad for going somewhere that it -must- be okay to visit..." he logicked out. It was kinda like swearing. If you heard mom or dad say it, you could too!
It wouldn't have been the first time he wandered away. As long as he didn't stay there all day and checked in with mommy or daddy every now and then so they wouldn't get worried, he couldn't see a problem with it.
"Besides..." a grin formed over his maw, "what they don't know, won't hurt us."

Mvita looked at her brother while he was reasoning and listened to every word he said carefully. "Actually, you're right." A smile came across Mvita's face and she walked a few steps around her brother. "How do we get there?" she said and looked around them. She had no idea in which direction it was, but figured that was no big surprise since she had never been there. She turned looked back to her brother and waited for him to guide her.

WIN! It was possibly the first time his logic had won him anything! It was a bit of an ego boost for the juvenile, who grinned widely. "Well..." he looked off towards the jungle. "Dad and I cut through there when we went." he explained, hopping up to his feet and starting to walk ahead, pausing once to make sure Mvita was still with him, and hadn't gone off into a la-la land phase as he would have.
Once he was sure of such, he started off towards the jungle. Once they were there, he could see what he could remember of the directions.
It was a GOOD thing he was smart enough to not rely on the directions of 'turn left at the yellow butterfly'. Since as well as he remembered those, butterflies had to move SOMETIME.

In front of her she could see her brother suddenly seeming very pleased with himself and Mvita grinned back at him before shaking her head. Brothers, she thought and giggled. She realized her brother had began walking in a direction she hoped would lead them to the right place. She hurried to catch up with him and once she was next to him she walked in his pace instead.
Once they reached the jungle she couldn't help wondering if he knew the way to the waterfall at all. She took a quick look at him and noticed that it seemed he was again pleased with something. "What're you so happy about, brother? Is there anything here you recognize, or what?" she said with a smile on her face.

"Of -course- I remember where this is!" he replied, strolling along confidently, though he did pause once to double check the scenery they were walking through, eyes bright and VERY pleased with how well he remembered things.
If only his memory was that good ALL the time, then maybe he'd get something done on a more normal basis.
He only considered his surroundings for a minute, before he went bounding off ahead, though Nitesh took care to not totally disappear into the distance so his sister wouldn't get lost in turn.
"It's over heeeeerrrrreee!" he yelled back, just in case.

"Awesome!" Across Mvita's face a big smile could be seen and she felt secure now that she knew Nitesh remembered the path.
She turned her head around and looked at what surrounded them. There were trees everywhere and she could even see flowers on the ground. She was just about to stop and look at one when she heard her brothers yell and she quickly looked up, just to see his body make its way through the foliage.
"Hey, wait for me!" Mvita quickly ran after him. Getting lost in this place was the last thing she wanted. Though, she could still see him ahead of her and that made her forget all thoughts about getting lost. He wouldn't run away from her in a place like this.

He'd bolted through the trees, not so fast as to leave his elder sister in the dust, but as hindered as could have been for the excited boy. The chocolate colored juvenile bounced up and down excitedly as he waited for his sibling to catch up with him.
Nitesh stood on the boarder between the trees and the opening where the waterfall lay, staring at the body of water in recognition. Good thing daddy wasn't with them, he would've shoved them in.
And the water was COLD from what he remembered of it.
"Waaaaaaaaiiiiting!" he called out since she'd yelled for him to wait for her. But he didn't -WANT- to wait for her.. he wanted to go jump in the water, since it was just SCREAMING for him to go play in it.
Once she'd caught up with him, however, he took a running start and lept into the water with a joyous squeal. YIPEE!

"Fine, I'm coming! No need to yell." Mvita rolled her eyes at her brother while following him through the trees. Once she reached him she stopped abruptly and looked around her. "Wow..." Mvita couldn't believe what she was seeing! He had actually been right about this place. While watching the surroundings Mvita took the time to catch her breath since something told her they were not going to stay still for much longer.
Just as she had thought her brother immediately made his way to the water and jumped in it. She smiled and took a deep breath before joining him as well.
"I have to admit, Nitesh, this place is great!" she said while playfully splashing water at him with one of her paws. "I wish dad had taken me here with you so you and I could've made sure he'd get soaked!" She laughed and played with her brother some more.
