I can't stop thinking about the concept of playfighting with Yautja.
We already know that in general Yautja culture can be pretty brutal. Always looking for the most dangerous and formidable preys, meaning each hunt can be their last, and even their mating rituals involve fighting for dominance. So for an alien species who are obsessed with the hunt, of course their most common way to show affection or bond is through playfighting. It's not just an activity for little pups, Young Bloods often engage in it as a way to distress and train. Even mated pairs like to do it as a way to bond.
Although, from a human pov, it always looks like they're actually trying to kill each other. Because Yautja playfighting is no fun if it doesn't involve body slamming, throwing each other at the wall like ragdolls, headlocks and even some biting. It's like wrestling, but actually dangerous if you're a squishy human. But do fret, because as long as there's no blood or broken bones, it's all fair game.
So imagine a Yautja trying to playfight with their human, but have to exercise a LOT of restrain so they don't actually hurt them. Bonus points if said human is aware that they're 'going easy' on them, so like a cheeky gremlin, they tease them about about it. Although, they do find that there's some fun human alternatives, like snow ball fight or see who does the biggest splash when going swimming. Just a cute though.
