Attentive, Taika watched the voidborn’s actions and reactions closely, slowly starting to be more content in the other’s presence. The concern she had felt was starting to wear off and she hoped the pup was genuinely starting to enjoy their antics. Learning to be around others, Taika was starting to realize, was always a game entwined with a dance. The idea was an interesting one that sprang to her mind and she grasped at it eagerly. She watched closely as the other woman swayed where she stood. The playful one let the silence between them continue while Kairos sorted herself out. She understood those times when you needed moment to simply think. Looking into the interesting face that stared back at her, Taika wondered what a voidborn, a proclaimed goddess, could possibly be considering when in the body of one so young, of one who could possibly be even more naive than she.
The world around them sped up again as their game began! Small whines of pleasure came from Taika as the excitement for play gripped her body. Even if it was just the gentle start of a game, it could lead to great things! The other youth was able to bat the rock out of the air and Taika jumped around slightly, as if getting ready to move faster. Kairos seemed to know how to use her body to move the rock, and she could fight and tackle to keep her away.
At her urging, Taika pounced toward the rock just as Kairos batted it away. Making her movements overly dramatic for the sake of humility, fun, and getting dirty she slid in the dirt and snow, letting it cover her coat. A playful growl come from her lips and she ran just behind her companion, being beaten to where the rock had landed. Once again she leapt towards it, much like a fox diving into a hole, her nose aimed towards the stone and her body weight to follow. Either she would collide with the rock and whisk it away, or any combination bodies, paws, and fur would fly around in a mass, depending on how Kairos defended their prize.
