A small, roughly circular ball bounced across the burning sands of the desert, sending up a tiny spray of sand particles. Its forward movement slowing, it wobbled to an uneasy rest at the edge of a dune. The wind tugged at it for an instant, rolling it perhaps a whisker's length farther, and then it was still. Pawsteps crunched in the sand. Suddenly the moss ball was airborne, propelled from sand to sky with one quick, expertly-timed flick of a paw. A small, sand-colored Kavari leaped impossibly high in the air and grabbed it between two delicate paws. Landing nimbly upon the dune, Cody crowed with triumph. Again and again the cycle repeated: flick the ball in the air, jump and grab it, land. Once the young Trainee even attempted to flip in the air as he fell, which resulted in a rib-jarring, breath-stealing collision with the ground. Not at all annoyed or injured, Cody bounced to his paws again. His eyes gleamed with golden light, twin reflections of the blazing sun. Flipping the moss in the air and actually whacking it with his tail, the young Maotu cat gave vent to the feelings that bubbled inside him: "Yahoo!"

Logan and Sierra were away from camp again on another one of Logans 'quests.' The two small Kavari dashed across the sand dunes, chasing eachother and playing tag. Suddenly, Sierra stopped and tilted her head to the side. "Wait, listen." She hushed her brother. Impatiently, he pricked his ears. Faintly, he could hear the sounds of another Kavari playing. Logan snorted. "It's probably some stupid trainee having fun or something. I don't want to go over there, he'll probably turn us in to the others for sneaking out. Lets go." He started to turn away, but Sierra spoke up. "I want to go and see what he's doing." She insisted, her small tail twitching. Logan turned back, a vein throbbing on his temple. "Ok, lets get it over with then." He grumbled, trotting towards the sound. Sierra smiled and bounded ahead of him, and when they crested the dune ahead of them, they saw the Trainee Cody playing around with a moss ball. Logan snorted again. "What, he's playing with a moss ball? How immature can you get?" Sierra rolled her eyes and nudged his shoulder. "Come on, let's go say hello." Logan muttered somethin inaudible, but followed his sister down the dune. "Hi, Cody!" Sierra called as she bounded towards him.
ooc - Sheesh, these two resemble Fruits Basket character so much, I might at well have named them Hiro and Kissa, and I might as well have named Shard, Kyo. XP I guess that's what comes from reading too much manga...

The diminutive Traineee's eyes lit up as he saw the two young Kavari come towards him. In a whirl of sand and orange fur, he bounded over to stand at their side. He tried to welcome them- but for some reason his words came out all garbled and strangled. Cody thought about it for a minute, then spat out the moss ball and tried again. "Hi, Logan! Hi, Sierra!" He grinned at them, whisking his tail. "Do you want to play with me?"

Sierra scampered up to meet Cody. Her short tail flicked back and forth and she gamboled around him in excitement. "Sure!" She squeaked. "Logan, come on!" She called back to him, standing still and pricking her ears in his direction. "Let's play." Logan rolled his eyes and trudged over. He didn't much want to play, but he couldn't say no to his sister. "Alright, what're we playing?" He asked indifferently as he sat on the sand and licked one of his paws.

Happiness bubbled through Cody's bloodstream as Sierra agreed to play with them. He gamboled on the sand in an odd shuffling dance. YAY!!!!
"Alright, what're we playing?"
The small Trainee shrugged. "We're just... tossing the ball around, I guess!" He bent down and delicately picked up the moss, shaking it slightly to rid it of a fine coat of sand. grinning enthusiastically, he tossed it towards Sierra.

Sierra's eyes followed the moss ball as it was tossed into the air. With an excited yowl, she jumped up and smacked it with her paw, sending it flying towards her brother. Logan's instincts took over as he moss ball was hit towards him. His eyes never left it as it soared towards him, but Sierra over shot. His paws pounded on the sand as he chased after it, and he leaped and jerked up with his muzzle, sending the ball bouncing off his nose before it hit the ground. He crowed with triumph and hooked it with his claws before flinging it towards Cody. Suprisingly, he didn't make a witty comment about the childish game. He was actually enjoying it somewhat.

Energy coiling and sparking through his limbs, Cody watched as Sierra caught the ball and flipped it towards Logan. He let out a shrill cry of excitement as Logan bounced it off his nose and sent it flying back towards him. In a spurt of sand, the young Trainee leaped upwards, grabbing the moss ball with his mouth. He landed perfectly and spat the ball skywards again, trying to bat it towards Sierra using only his tail. Grinning slightly sheepishly, he picked the moss up from where it had fallen- he had totally missed- and sent it flying towards Sierra using the more conventional method of smacking it with one paw.

Sierra growled excitedly as the moss ball hurled towards her. Her eyes flashed as she leaped, twisted, and clamped the ball in her paws. She landed on the ground with the ball under her claws, then she let it go and thwacked it towards Logan. The small Kavari crouched as the ball bounced towards him. He wiggled his haunches, then sprang forward, trying to trap in in his claws. Suprisingly, he hit it strangely and it shot upwards like a bar of soap. "Wha-?" He started to say in bemusement, when th ball came down and hit his head with a light thonk. Growling, he lashed out and sent it spiraling back towrds Cody. "Ha!" He said under his breath, glaring after the ball.

Cody giggled nervously as Logan hit the ball straight back up in the air. Before he could make any comment about that, the ball was again hurtling towards him and becoming the center of his universe. His eyes widened when he realized that the ball was falling too fast- he wouldn't be able to catch it in time. With a frantic yelp, he dived towards it, reaching for the sphere of moss with tiny paws. Sands exploded everywhere as he plowed into the top layer of the dune. The young Kavari lay stunned, his only movement to blink the sand from his eyes. Suddenly his face convulsed and he let out a mighty sneeze. Scrambling up again, Cody retrieved the moss ball from where it lay just in front of him. Grinning sheepishly, he quickly batted it towards Sierra again.

Sierra watched, her head tilted to the side, as Cody dived towards the ball. When the sand cleared, she blinked curiously at him. Then he let out a mightly sneeze, and hurled the ball towards her. Sierra broke out laughing, and then the ball smacked her between he eyes. Coughing as she inhaled a lungfull of sand, she blinked to clear her streaming eyes and then she swatted the ball towards her brother. Logan, wanting to be sure to catch the ball this time, carefully timed its projectile path. Springing up, he snatched the ball from the air like plucking a butterfly from flight. Landing with a proud yelp, he threw the ball straight up, bounced it once on his nose, then reached up and whacked it back towards Cody.

With a small leap, Cody rose into the air and fastened his teeth around the moss ball. Dropping back to earth with a puff of sand, he released the moss and hooked it with one claw before it could fall very far. He stared at it for a second, and then all other thoughts were banished from his head as a new idea presented itself. Eyes gleaming, he turned towards the cubs. "Wanna play tag?"

Sierra's eyes lit up at the idea. Tag. That sounded fun. She bounced on her paws. "Sure!" She chirruped, eyes gleaming. Without another word, she sprang forwards and nailed Cody in the side with her front paws. "You're it!" She cried, galloping away, her feet sending up a spray of sand. She glanced over her shoulder to see what he would do. Logan twitched his ears in acknowledgement of their new game. He was far enough away from Cody so that he didn't have to run right away. Instead, he circled around him as Sierra bolted off. His eyes were gleaming, daring Cody to come after him.

Cody stumbled sideways, impressed that Sierra had tagged him that quickly. He whisked his tail once and ran in a circle, deciding which of the cubs to try to tag first. Being It was always the best part of tag, in his opinion. Suddenly he lunged towards Logan, paws throwing up a spray of sand as he raced towards his prey. "I'm gonna get you!" he called, not caring if it was boasting or not. "Look out!"

Logan gave a little yow of surprise as Cody dashed at him like a small, sand colored bullet. Scrambling away as fast as he could, he dashed up a sloping hill of sand and skidded down the other side. He grinned and called back in answer to Cody's boasting shout, "No you're not! No you're not!" Sierra laughed joyously, her musical voice echoing across the desert sands. She skipped after them briskly, keeping far enough behind so that Cody couldn't turn around and jump at her.

Growling playfully, Cody dug his paws into the sand and changed direction, sprinting towards Sierra instead. His paws kicked up so much sand that it got in his eyes, and he stopped for a second and blinked frantically. When his vision cleared he located Sierra, standing a short way away. I'm gonna get you! he thought happily, grinning with excitement. Abruptly he dropped into a hunting crouch and began to creep towards Sierrra. "The mighty hunter stalks his prey," he meowed, not caring if she heard or not.
