I dare ya

Kyren really wasn’t one to go teasing random animals to go skating on ice but Oscar was special.  The guy could get so grumpy and it was kind of fun poking him at those moments.  They were an odd group of friends but it worked.  In a world where so many are against them, Oscar is one who he can count on.  The little donkey might only be half his size but Kyren had all confidence the small fellow had his back.

Watching Oscar the Reindeer had to grin at the sight. He shook his head silently with a snort.  Despite having fun Kyren was still fully attentive to what was going on around them.  Predators weren’t very likely to come here to hunt but it was foolish to not pay attention.

“Hey, Oscar.  Did you notice when you step on the ice it's lighting up under you?” Kyren called out just in time to grimace at Oscar’s big wipeout.  Well, he is pretty well padded.  “Not enough steps yet for us to leave.  Do you give up?”  Heck, Kyren had no desire to put his hooves on that ice.  He might go sliding around on the ice as poorly as little Oscar.
