The night was the ideal time for the young Quintus Nero Adravendi-Mathias. Although the boy was not particularly shy, he also found himself hanging by himself most of the time -- which he was not at all opposed to. But he mostly enjoyed his ability to roam freely, to creep about and surprise unsuspecting packmates. As he grew older, he was finding himself a bit less behaved than the child of the King and Queen ought to be, but ... whatever. It brought entertainment to his life.
And so it was not surprising that he responded quickly to his brother's call, grinning mischievously as the sound filled the crisp night air. Large paws carried him forth, slipping between obstacles as he headed toward his introverted brother's voice. As he neared, he would quiet his pace, slipping into a more child-like position. Rump in the air, chest against the ground, as he crept forward with great intent. When he was near enough to see him, Quintus suddenly leapt forward, seeking to snag Cassius' tail between his jaws, letting out a muffled "Boo!" Between a mouthful of fur he would shout, a laugh falling from his lips. A harmless prank, but one he knew would likely frighten his shy brother.
