How interesting, this girl, so unlike his own children. First and foremost, it was rare for his own children to play in such a manner and yet, not just that. As he approached, she made it quite known that she was constantly on alert - her stance spoke volumes of her, showing a self assurance seldom seen. He couldn't help but raise a brow in curiosity, even as she played into submission. In a way, the girl reminded him of Caligula - a wolf solely of body language and physical ques, the silence between the two barely ending even as she growls in question. That, he figured, is probably the best way to have her warm up to him: he will avoid language for some time, a skill he'd... never quite mastered.
He is inclined, to give her that first taste of victory as she pranced forward; he allowed the bone to slip from his teeth as she pulls back, a playful, bubbling growl building in his throat as he swats at her with a broad paw. He intends to merely bat her, slapping her lightly on her shoulder before he moved towards the bone once more, grasping it so firmly once more and pulling back. It is his height, truly, that makes the game so much easier for him - she will need to release it eventually, lest she dangle from the end like a leaf.
Once he had the bone once more, regardless as to how much effort he'd need to put into getting it, that's when he intended to start their new game. His tail waved behind him as he feigned forward, leaping and suddenly pulling back into a twirl before loping off. Should she follow, he would gradually increase his speed, darting and weaving around the trees that surrounded their clearing. The girl had proven herself strong but what of fast? If she wanted the bone so badly, she was going to need to catch him first.
