Walk | Talk | Think She should have known better than to think he might give her a chance to jump and surprise him for a change. Lebrah was the master of surprises, of unexpected play and fun, and this whole scenario was right up his alley. The second she saw his body within the snow wiggle preceding his leap, Anais stopped and tensed, half expecting him to come leaping right into her, and flinched a little when he sprang. She felt the fall of snow against her, heard the wolf's paws touch ground again on her other side, and laughed both in amusement and relief as she turned her head to regard him. Her own tail was already wagging as he made another, less exaggerated jump aimed at her shoulder, and though she tried to catch herself from falling she ended up toppling over onto her side into the snow anyway. The snow that he had been under was still soft enough to cushion her fall so there was no harm done, and she giggled just as silly as Lebrah did as he claimed his victory over her. "You really did," she agreed through a laugh, shaking a bit of snow from her fur as she pushed back up onto her feet. Lebrah was already right there beside her, and she bumped back against him, much more gently than he had her, and was grateful in that moment that he did not stand taller than she did. Had he, she doubted he would have known his own strength and could only imagine how much more careful she would have had to be around him for it. As always, his mind was narrowed in and focused on having fun, and unsurprisingly his suggestion for their next activity was an adventure. "An adventure, huh?" she repeated contemplatively, tilting her own head a little as she considered it. That did sound fun, actually. She used to go off all the time and see new places meet new wolves. Of course, meeting Pyrros had changed that considerably not only for herself but for the rest of her family as well. Maybe parading off into an unexplored territory was not the best idea, but perhaps they could have just as much fun here along the Fjord? "Yeah, I think we should go on an adventure," she agreed with a quick, decisive nod, "We haven't gone adventuring together yet." But what should they do? She knew the woods here that housed their dens were rather boring in the sense that they were already well explored and familiar, and since it had been some time since she had gone adventuring she wanted something special and fun for this adventure. Even if she had to make it up. "Maybe we can go on a hunt - a treasure hunt," she quickly amended, wanting the fun that she was creating to be something outside of the usual. "For the rare Snow Flower. I bet Lior doesn't have any of those in her plant collection yet." And she most certainly would not since Anais doubted the flower she had made up would even exist. But, as she smiled with a confident, playful spark in her bright golden eyes, she knew it would make for a fun adventure. So long as Lebrah played along, anyway. |
