[PRP] Splashing [Faruk x Mpole]

[- Mynsed -]

It was too hot and Faruk wanted to dip into the water. Sighing in relief, he stepped into the shallows, careful to not wade in too far. It was tiring, being awake the entire day. All the cub wanted to do was sleep the day away but he couldn't quite do that with so many siblings and the fact that things just need to be done.

Sighing, he laid down in the shallow area, head laying on the shore. It was peaceful in his current area right now, away from noise. Just the sound of wind and the gurgles of water. Before he knew it, Faruk was deep asleep, drooling into the packed mud.

Hot. It was so so hot. The bright blue cub was panting slightly as he meandered over to the watering hole that was doubled as a place to swim and cool off. His head was low, eyes were partially shut, and tail sunk to the ground. He was showing all the signs of heat exhaustion, but anyone who knew him would know he was likely dramatizing the situation a little bit.

When the water came into view he felt a bolt of energy course through him. He wasn't aware of anyone else being around - nor would he likely have cared. All that ran through his mind was that he needed to be there as soon as possible. The cub took to running almost immediately and had one goal in mind - 'jump'.

Jump he did.. the wee cub soared through the air in a fashion that would have rivaled a hare leaping. Then, as gravity always does, it pulled the cub down and straight into his target. The water. Submerging himself was chaotic. Water flew up and splashed the whole area around him - it would have been quite the scene - successfully destroying the peaceful, serene, body of water.

SPLASH!

Faruk's nap was snatched from him as water rained down. Letting out a shocked gasp, he scrambled to his feet, head whipping around to see the cause. It couldn't have just started raining.... right? Just before he was about to check the sky for clouds, he heard the water being disturbed again. Pink eyes zeroed in on the perpetrator.

It was a cub. Faruk nearly groaned. He had come here to get away from rowdiness and it seemed he couldn't escape. Moving away from the edge, he stared flatly at the other cub splashing around, waiting to be noticed. Perhaps he wouldn't be noticed though?

Letting out a sigh, he raised his voice to be heard over the ruckus. "Having fun?" he asked, nearly dryly. He wanted to sulk. Good bye sleep.

Water trickled down around him from above. For the tiny tyke he was Mpole certainly made a large entrance. He was rather pleased with himself, which was displayed with a distinct grin worn on his face. That grin remained until he caught sight of a rather grumpy looking figure seated next to the waters edge. "Yeah. Clearly you aren't.." He stated plainly, nearly matching the dry query. "Why the sour face?" He asked with a grimace.

Mpole hadn't seen so much grump since glancing at the last adult he had passed by. It was incredible to see such mood on a cub his own age. Incredible, but not surprising. The cub appeared to be alone. "You dont have many friends?" What he meant to ask was, did he have any at all, but decided against something so cruel.

This could be a fine opportunity to make someones day by befriending them.

Oh boy. This was a character. Faruk contemplated just getting up and leaving. But that would require moving. And he didn’t really want to move at the moment. Though, the more the cub spoke, the more tempting it was. ”I was napping,” he decided to reply, wrinkling his nose. Maybe the other could figure out the rest on his own, apologies, and be on his way. Faruk could wish, even improbable wishes.

He had been about to roll over, turn his back on the youth, and go back to sleep when the cub decided to ask a rather rude question. Did he have any friends! Of course he did! There was… Well, did siblings count? He frowned. ”Does it matter?” he growled, tail twitching irritably. He didn’t need friends. Maybe later. But right now, he just needed sleep.

"Oh?" He asked coyly and was even tempted to direct a paw of water in the cubs direction. But if the cub was this sour now he imagined that a bout of water would only worsen the situation. "Why were you napping? It's a beautiful night." Mpole was sure the answer would be much the same as the answer he received about his 'friends' update.

"Well to me it doesn't, but to you it should." He remarked.

He made no more to leave. Definitely no move to apologize. "Friends should be important and if you lay around like that all day you probably won't make any." He scoffed slightly. Friendship was valued above all else by Mpole. He enjoyed the company of others and what it had to offer. Even as a young, slightly crazy cub, he had goals. But really? He didn't care if the other cub had friends.

Obviously, the other cub wasn’t going to give up on bothering him. ”Because I like napping,” he pointed out bitterly, frowning at the other. It was night already? His head swung up, eyes moving to the sky. He could see the stars. He loved looking at the stars, almost as much as he loved sleeping. If he had been alone, he would have rolled on his back and watched the sky twinkle until he fell asleep.

The other’s voice reminded him that he was not alone. ”I don’t need friends,” he mumbled, looking away. ”I’d rather lay around all day than do something so troubling.” It was partially true. But Faruk was still a cub and did yearn for friends. He just didn’t want to keep up with the relationship. The other cubs were too excitable, too active. He wouldn’t be able to keep up. Just thinking about it was tiring. He had his family, maybe that was all he needed.
