Kuroo laughs as Nami calls after him, her teeth barely grazing the tip of his tail. He turns to look over his shoulder at her, smiling wide and bright. "How else was I supposed to get a lead?" Sticking out his tongue, he then gets an idea. Dipping around the back side of a tree, he pokes his head out to see where Nami was. "Would you rather a race?" Kuroo asks, his head tilting before he dips back behind the tree. "Whoever gets back to the bamboo first wins?" He pops his head back out before darting over to another tree. "Loser get to make dinner?" His eyes crinkle at the sides with how much he's smiling. Shaking out his fur to ready himself, he's sure Nami wouldn't turn down a good race!
