OOC. Liquid timing to before Cecily got deh sickness.

Taddeo was being outdone it seemed, his sisters beating him when it came to exploring their home. Still Taddeo was still enthralled by the area around the den and he would not be happy till he explored ever inch he could! Though if he were being honest exploring all by himself was not as much fun as when he was with his sisters. Stretching and shaking dirt from his earthy coat the boy lifted his muzzle to the air, black nose twitching furiously as he tried to catch hold of one of his sister?s scents. Cecily?s was faint enough but he managed to hold onto it.
Determination in his eyes he padded through the plains, topaz gaze scanning for his sister. She had to be here somewhere?


"Speech"

The girl was noising through the undergrowth, her dark coat doing little to blend into the soft greens of the grasses and her little black nose was constantly sticking out too far from her hiding places. Not that any of that mattered, in her games she was invisible and her steps unheard. She was part way through an exaggerated march when she heard the sound of steps on grass. Her butt did a little wiggle behind her as she ducked in further to the grasses and her bright eyes peeked out to find the source of the noise. It was with delight that she saw the form of Taddeo, he came out and played rarely, and the thought of having a chance at beating him did bright little trips in her stomach. She wiggled herself deeper yet into the ground, her eyes overly large and bright as she sighted her prey. She waited until he was closer, waited? waited then wtih a battle cry leaped from her place in the aim of squishing his form with her own. [b[?Hiiieya!? [/b] was her cry. "Speech"

For his sister?s lack of actual stealth skills she did well enough to hide from him. But then Taddeo also had very little actual tracking experience. Topaz gave swung from to side as he walked, determined to spot her first. He of course would fail, walking almost right by her hiding place without detecting his sister. He would have never known she was there at all had she not given a battle cry and leapt out at him. He realized too late of course.
They collided and he allowed himself to go somewhat limp, pushing over onto the ground and rolling slightly so that she ended up on top of him. He gave an over exaggerated cough and struggled weakly against her weight. "Life flashing before my eyes!" He cried out then flopped completely. He lay limp for a few moment, tongue lolling from his mouth and his eyes closed.


"Speech"

She would settle for nothing less than triumph and utter victory, and as her squealing cry rang out in the forest and her form found his she would taste that sweet win. She giggled as she felt his softness beneath her and felt him go limp at her touch. Taddeo would then do a silly little dance that she assumed was his attempt at wriggling free and she would touch a paw to his nose and she giggled down at him ?I don?t think so? she teased, laughing harder at his words of life flashing before his eyes.



?That because I?m the best hunter in the world! And I have caught you!? she cried as her brother died beneath her, flopping fully to the ground with his tongue lolling and she did a quick little dance on his form before jumping free, standing before his face and sticking her tongue out at him. ?Nahnahnahnahanh? she cried, taunting him to play with her. She didn?t see much of Taddeo and was determined to make this little fun last.

'Thoughts'

It took all the pup?s concentration to remain limp while his sister danced upon his form, which was a lot, he was only a child after all. Even so the boy cracked open a single eye, peeking out at his sister in the most stealthy way of all. He was after all, a great sneaker. As Cecily jumped off of him, releasing him from her small hold he began to move again, stretching legs and blinking topaz eyes open all the way; just in time to see her stick her tongue out at him and taunt him into retaliation.
Cecily would get her wish as he let out a playful grown and quickly jolting his head upwards and trying to, gently, close his jaw around her muzzle. It was just too perfect a chance for him to pass up.
