My, this journey is lively

Okay, not really, but it was a reaaally big branch. In fact, it was the biggest branch he could find. It was longer than his whole body and with the branches (which he'd chewed off except for a large puff at the thin end) it had been thicker around than his middle. Too unwieldy to be carried, most of the branch drug along beside him. The branches at the end made the whole thing bounce with each step and the faster he drug it the faster it bounced, springing along beside him like an exuberant companion. In all honesty Angelus was rather pleased with himself. It was a simple pleasure, but nonetheless he was proud of his ability to not only be able to pick a good branch for the task ahead, but chew it off the tree like a beaver. He'd spent quite a lot of time and energy on working it free, and he was sure it would be worth the effort in the long run. His excitement obvious, the yearling trotted towards to the top of the volcano with branch in tow. With his head turned to the right to better grip the thick end of the branch, Angelus didn't see the boy picking the flower on his left side. Unbeknownst to him, Starling was facing away from him and bending down to pick the flower - and almost directly in his path. The way it was going, Angelus' left shoulder was sure to make contact with Starling's right butt cheek unless something changed... |
