It's a dangerous world we live in

Quote:At last! As Vixe's valiant attack connected with Maia and sent them both tumbling to the side of him, Rune quickly rolled to his other side and pushed himself to his paws, giving his rumpled fur a good shake while he set his frosty blue eyes on his siblings. Locked in battle, the two growled and bit, tugged and wrestled, pretty evenly matched all things considered. For a moment, he thought about jumping in, about helping neither of them and merely making a mess of things, but that would surely cause them to double up on him and make him pay for not taking a side. Tail wagging, he continued to watch, observing, expectant.

His chance to jump back into the game came when Maia managed to wriggle her way out from underneath her brother, the dainty girl quickly putting distance between them while she called for a chase. A single glance from Vixe was all he needed to know that it was his turn. He had been tagged back into the game.

Even as his sibling spoke, the light grey pup dropped into a crouch and sprang forward, launching himself after his sister as she kept the lead. His mouth was stretched into a mischievous smirk as he ran, hoping that Maia might slow and glance back to see if they followed, anything that might give him and Vixe an edge in catching up to her and ultimately stopping her progress. "Better run faster!" he called in warning, voice playful and yet filled with deviance. She could run, but it was only a matter of time before the both of them caught up to her.
