I dare ya

Right before the fuzzy ass has the most spectacular wipeout, Kyren calls about the ice lighting up under him. Head tilts to look down and… laying in the middle of the icy lake, Oscar tries to get his hooves back under. Nope. Double nope. Third times the charm? Nope. The deer calls at him to give up and he brays out a loud laugh, shouting, “Did I say I gave up?! You aren’t winn’ng that eas’ly!” The grumpy donkey is smiling as he shoves his butt into the air and manages to shove himself forward slightly. Oh? An idea forms as Oscar gets his front legs under him and slightly pushes up on his back hooves. In an awkward, squatting, slipping manner, Oscar moves further across the lake.

When he is three quarters of the way across, Oscar sits down heavily and rotates to face Kyren. Calling out in a happy, defiant voice, the donkey says, “’Ey kid! I thought ya was built fer this shite. How am I beating ya at this?” With that, Oscar brays a loud, long, laugh. He wonders if the kid will follow him, taking the bait and raising to the ass’s challenge.
