Lazily lounging around with a bored, disinterested expression as always, Uangaze devoted her spare time to practically dragging herself across the soft earth and crushing any kind of arthropod or insect that crawled in her way. It didn't matter if it was an earthworm or a stag beetle, or even a mere termite, the second she spotted it, she would squash it and move on. She wasn't even particularly certain as to why she was doing this, but she presumed it was because she had no hunts to attend and no friends to chat with. Other than the one daughter who still stuck around her, she had no one.
Her thoughts turning to her fourth cub, Uangaze stood up and padded over to where she had hidden Ua, in a thick patch of shrubs. The little infant was curled up tightly, her tiny paws hiding her face. Despite the fact that she wasn't mewling to her mother for milk, Uangaze gently plucked her from her sleeping place and set her down between her forepaws. She began to carefully clean bits of dirt and plants from her cub's white fur. She looked around, a scowl now on her face. She wished she was a rogue rather than living in a pride, even if it was just a small group. Yes, it would make life a little more difficult, but she was a good hunter. However, although she didn't feel very attached to her daughter, she knew leaving her even for a brief period of time to go hunting would risk her being snatched up by a honey badger or leopard, or some other thieving animal. She wasn't quite willing to take that chance.
[Kind of a bad starting post, sorry. Labatis's character is in the sister pride, so Uangaze might have someone to talk to. :p]
