I might climb the highest peak;
Disappear in another dream

She sits and watches him and when he speaks his stuttered speech she pricks her ears towards him. Cafell was far too young to understand why it was that he did not feel very good at playing. How could someone be bad at playing? It seemed so strange of a thing that she immediately disregarded it. He must be lying to her. Mother said that Godric was lying. He was their father and he had produced them. She had no idea what exactly it meant that he thought Mother was lying. Mother had never lied to them that Cafell knew about anyways. Getting back to the point, Cafell thought Noel was lying. He had to know how to play! He had to know! He just had to! Cafell was barely able to sit still with her optimistic view point of how much he had to know. She wiggled just slightly while trying desperately to stay still watching as Noel lowered himself down to the ground. She wiggled around and tried desperately to stay still.

He laid almost on his belly and looked a little unsure of himself before he reached out and touched her. He nudged her. She growled "fiercely" and pounced at his face. Unfortunately he moved far quicker than she did and her pounce found nothing but the dirt between her pads. She was convinced that this was him showing her that he secretly knew how to play. She bounds towards him, and she gently mouths him before turning tail and running a few steps. Looking at him, she tilts her head slightly with her tail wagging furiously and her tongue happily lolling out of her open mouth. She had a friend that wasn't any of her siblings! She would soooo hold this over everyone when she got home today! She made a friend and they didn't and she would not share her friend at all with them!

She barked at him, play bowing again to incite him to come chase her. Cafell would show him just how fast she was! He would definitely not be able to catch her because she could also turn really fast too! It was all in her master plan of winning this little game. Although, exactly what game it was she couldn't be sure. This was not like wrestling that her brothers inevitably won. It was not tug of war like when she fought with them over scraps Mother brought. And it was not really "tag" that she had only been allowed to play once. Granted, that game was quickly broken up because Mother did not want them straying too far and the den was far too small a place to play that game in. Or so Mother said.

Cafell pounded the ground with her small feet in another demanding play bow before she ran quickly around Noel. It was just to demonstrate how impossible it would be for him to win. Of course she did not take into account how much taller he was, or how much longer his legs were. Those were minor technicalities that she was sure didn't matter too much. As she rounds the corner of Noel, she bites him again, this time a little rougher and tries to pull his leg out from under him. Granted, the minute she thought he was coming around to nose her again, she let go and made a dash for where she originally started from as if that was some sort of safe zone for herself.
