maybe I'll land, maybe I'll crash

*Cricket*

The green Cricket's coat would have blended a little better in spring. Now that winter was on them, the yellowed grass rustled loudly with every movement from the girl that rarely managed to stay still. She would have to say that sneaking wasn't her speciality, but she had to at least try and pull her tiny weight, right? Bigger wolves wouldn't have to work as hard as she would to make up the same portion of food, but she wanted to contribute in this way. Maybe she was just a glutton for punishment.

The lizard sunning itself out on the rock at the very edge of the basin wouldn't have been much of a challenge for a larger wolf, apart from it's speed, but if it stood on it's rear legs it would tower over her by at least an inch. She was determined to get close enough to pounce, so she wouldn't be returning home with nothing but bugs in her teeth. She might have missed it all together with the reticulated pattern down it's back blending so well, but the bright pink of it's tongue coming out to lick an eyeball (so cool!) caught her attention. If she wasn't so hungry, she'd probably try and talk the iguana into joining her as a companion, but as it stood... well.

Her back end gave a wiggle before she pounced, giving the lizard a decent head start. Paws scrambled and nails clattered against stone, causing the girl to lose more ground. But she wasn't going to give up so easily!

”Speech” ’Thought’

It's time to raise the curtain
