Mel watched the brute wag his tail. Such enthusiasm... He reminded her a little of her sister. If anything, he was even more energetic than Terpsichore. He seemed friendly, at least. Talking to strangers always seemed to end badly, but everyone here was a stranger, anyway.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure. She grinned at the brute's overconfidence. It reminded her of the taunts pups would throw at their siblings while they were wrestling. Back home, there'd been no shortage of pups.
After he trotted up to a rosebush to mark the finish, Mel approached the starting line. It wasn't a sprint, but it wasn't a marathon, either. Mel might be able to give this confident fellow a run for his money. Surprisingly, she was almost kind of excited about the race. At least it was something to do.
