His eyes widened as he saw the white woman sail noiselessly over him like a swan and land effortlessly in a pile of leaves. For a moment all he could do was stare at her with his mouth open until she started to kick the leaves. That made him snap to his senses and realized that she was playing with him, she had to have been the prettiest creature he’d ever seen and she wanted to play with him . Derecho could stuff it, he knew he wasn’t ugly now. With a playful growl he bowed low and leapt into the storm of leaves, standing on his hind legs and batting noisily at the foliage with his too-big paws. He hopped through the torrent of red and yellow, catching whole mouthfuls of leaves and throwing them in the air, laughing so much he could feel himself becoming light headed. With a clumsy charge he ran into the white woman’s front leg, holding it in place with his wrist and biting playfully, trying to get her to wrestle with him.
