Play Doh Time! [Jiro]

Kina was so kind and so smart. Just like their mother, at least that's what Jiro thinks as she smiles up at him from her pottery project. He moves to sit, but again, she's too smart and mentions that there were grasshoppers nearby. Those pesky things were always jumping out of the grass and bamboo and smacking him in the face! Ugh!

Jiro turns toward where she pointed and lowers his body to the ground until his belly touches the dirt. His pale eyes scan his surroundings, searching for those hoppy little bastards. In the meantime, he does keep one ear on his sister. She wouldn't get out of him annoying her so easily! "Clay bowl? Whatcha need a clay bowl for?" Jiro questions as he spots one of the grasshoppers. The insect takes a bounding leap from one stalk of bamboo to the next. His lips lift with a little growl in his throat. Waiting for what he thinks is the right moment, Jiro leaps forward with paws outstretched.

As he lands with a thud, his paws seemingly grasp around a grasshopper. When he moves his paws, there's nothing there. "Dammit," Jiro whispers under his breath before turning his attention back to the bamboo to look for more.
