Ah, so he was laughing at her, now. Cool cool cool. Well, Cairo could laugh all he wanted, and he was free to laugh even more when she finally tagged his ass and won this game and what the hell—
No sooner had the last words left her maw than Cairo rolled over in front of her, crashing nose-over-tail across the ground like a kicked stone. For just a moment, she believed that the brute had honestly tripped (and thus ensured her victory, even if she felt a little bad about it). Mal put a brake on her run, trotting over to see the damage, when she caught sight of the ridiculous little grimace he was sporting. "Pffffffft! Wow. Wooow." It dawned on her, then -- pulled her ears flat against her skull and narrowed her eyes, settled cold in her stomach in a way that was not unlike hearing a truly terrible pun.
But she couldn't even hold the glare she'd set on him, turning away to hide a few wayward, incredulous giggles. "Cairo Adravendi," she declared, "that is the ugliest face I have ever seen." With that, the yearling would move to nudge him on the forehead with her paw. She plopped down on her belly, a few inches opposite of him, ears flickering forward and tail thumping quite happily. "Oh, and also, I win."
