a fox trot above my head

Rhyme and Solitude were both focused on their task, and neither managed to detect Shaye as she approached. Suddenly her voice was at his ear and his last batch was gone. He looked in disbelief from where they had been to where Shaye now stood, teasing him with his own catch. Rhyme furrowed his brows in mock frustration and frowned as she teased him. ”I’m doing quite well with my speed, thank you.” He returned her playful teasing as he made motion to grab them back. His quick movement cause Solitude to flap to keep his balance.

Of course there were more fireflies to catch, so Rhyme couldn’t focus on her for very long. He looked to the bugs that flew around his head and for the last time he made an attempt to catch them.
