I had seen the movements of the dark figure among the grass, but only for the briefest of moments. My body was not allowing me to stand tall, and I had fallen into the muck. Apparently whoever or whatever it was came forth, my lavender eyes dashing from my slickened paws towards the girl of black and gold. At first, she seems started, and I lift a brow in her direction, but quickly she becomes...amused at the position that I have been put in. I wrinkle my nose for a moment, before I put on a smirk.
I lift up my head, keeping cool and confident until she then insults my ability to...be a squirrel? I tilt my head slightly as I attempt to process what she was talking about. I had no idea I was trying to be one of those little creatures. I was well aware of these squirrels, we had plenty back in Taviora. One even dropped a pine cone on my head! I stood up, tail wagging and flinging muck around me as I make sure she knows the truth.
"I wasn't trying to be squirrel! And even if I was...I'd like to see YOU do better, hm?" I dared, a sly look crossing onto my puppy face of tans and browns. I understand that I am a cute pup, handsome as my mother calls it, and I quite honestly look nicer than my brothers in the face, at least...I think. I have seen my reflection before, and of course I have seen my brother's faces. I have to be the best, because that is how you impress girls right?
I take a few steps towards her, my nose reaching out to sniff the laughing dark girl. She reminded me of Tuari in a way, black and gold! Were there many other young pups like them running around? Where most girls this color? I wasn't about to ask quite yet, because, well, she needs to prove her ability to be a squirrel to me.
"We have lots of squirrels in Taviora. They can like...pick stuff up with their PAWS! Why don't you pick THAT up with your paws!" I grinned, flashing my eyes over towards a stay stick in the mossy land next to us. I take a few steps towards it, completely forgetting the fact that my lower half is coated in muck and mud. I am not sure why I have forgotten it so fast, because those blue eyes and golden fur seem to have taken my attention. My paws pat on soft moss, leaving a trail behind as I take a few steps towards the stick. I motion my head towards it, grinning charmingly as I do so. Once she fails, I can laugh right back at her!
