Twinning

Ru raced along the grassy territory, his brother in hot pursuit behind him. They were of the same size and build, which would make a game in open space that much stranger. Ru felt that with his minor head start, he would be impossible to catch. He whooped with joy and let out his little ‘awooool!’ of delight that he had been holding back all this time.

He put his head back down, aiming to race as hard as he could… and then skittered to a stop. “Ku, what’s dat?” he asked, taking a few slow steps to the main stream that meandered throughout the Abaven territory. It was like water, but it was endless and shimmery and so… so strange. Nothing like the drinking water they had seen in their den. He reached the surface, looked down and “Ku, Ku, you're trapped in the water!” he raised a paw to gently smack the image of himself below him.
