Tripping Over You

The yelp of pain brought Regulus crashing back to earth, and onto his rump as he startled backwards and tripped over his own tail. ”Wha?! His eyes flicked in all directions before dropping to finally find a very irritated looking Ganja in front of him. He scooted backward, ears drooping as she glared at him. Her scolding cleared up the question in his mind as to what had happened. He’d stepped on her. He lifted his left paw, feeling his toes throb with the harder beating of his heart as his tail beat out an apologetic tune on the ground.

Ganja! I’m so sorry… I wasn’t watching…” He looked her over, looking for damage. Her ruffled tail clued him in and he winced. ”Sorry…” He lowered himself to his belly, the better position for speaking with wolves like Ganja and Luck, sapphires still apologizing silently as he gave her another look to make sure he hadn’t trodden on anything else.
