Crumble

"Side tracked, huh?" she asked, slowing her pace to a crawl as they traipsed across the shoreline. Theo diverted her path down towards the waterline and splashed in the shallows. The cold water felt good on her hot and sore pawpads. "I think that's a good idea, organizing something for the young ones. It's crazy how puppies seem to come in crops, like they're herbs or something. I'm happy for Rhyme though, and Abaven. That litter is going to keep us on our toes for a while yet." Haiku and Senryu's dynamic already gave her recurring migraines, much as she loved them. "Any ideas brewing for activities for the little ones?" She stopped and peered at him as the water lapped at her ankles. "Let me know if you need any help brainstorming. Maybe we can all get sidetracked together!" Theo said, chuckling. Corvus' penchant for talking around the issue had led to a misunderstanding - it was up to him to correct her or let it lie.
