Makini gave her daughter a reproving look, but sighed almost inaudibly and rolled over. She wasn't fond of her daughter's current attitude in the slightest, but decided not to press the subject too much... She could sort of understand why Sakehn felt that way. Chaltuu had thrown harsh things at her as well, so she knew what it was like.
Chaltuu glared at her cousins and aunt as she passed their cave. She was a night owl and often came out at night when the pride was asleep. She snarled in the direction of Sakehn, but continued to clamber up a short slope of boulders and rocks. She craned her neck and stared at the bright crescent-moon and glittering stars dotting the cobalt-black sky.
Glancing around, she slowly plodded down the rocks to the savanna. Nobody knew she was going to hunt. She often did that in the dead of night, catching food to eat before sleeping during a large majority of the day. She parted her jaws and sniffed the air, catching a trace of hare. That would be pleasant, she thought.
Tracking and managing to kill the lagomorph, she brought it back to the cave, taking the long way around. She wanted to buy as much time as she could before having to go back inside. Quietly she set the hare down on the ground and swiftly consumed it, not wanting any night predator to notice her catch. She perched herself at the mouth of the cave, almost certain that everyone was asleep.
[I was thinking Sakehn and Chaltuu get in a fight? A physical fight, I mean. ^^]
