Catch a Wolf by the Tail [Pack Playtime]

Justice was coming back from a patrol - she tried to take roaming patrols as much as possible to leave sentry duty for the pups, though they were probably old enough to be doing real patrols now too - when she spotted Aurielle sunning herself on one of the few boulders. Justice was still pretty fresh after her patrol, and now that the scarring on her face was healing (it wasn't healing prettily, but that really didn't matter much to her) she was feeling rather cocky and spirited again. So when she saw the alpha lazing around, a wicked grin split her muzzle and bared her fangs. Dropping into a crouch, she made her way step by silent, slow step closer and closer until she was in range of the flowing tail dangling over the edge within reach... and then she pounced! The long hairs in her grasp, she gave a sharp tug before letting go and leaping away again. Aurielle gave a very gratifying screech and leaped like a scalded cat before spinning around. Justice bounced back and forth, looking for all the world like a roly-poly pup. "Wake up, Lazybones! Going to get fat and spoiled sitting up there with no exercise," she cackled. She fake-pounced towards the alpha again, her tail waving slowly in the air behind her, all the while grinning maniacally. "Tragic! In the prime of your life and you're already a washed up old woman who can't catch me."
