those short days and long nights.

Barry is seriously a kid that never grew up XD

Barry didn't have to wait long--there he was!!! One... two... three! Raaaar! he exclaimed as he launched out of the undergrowth at his older cousin, forelimbs extended like a lion grasping for its prey. So much for stealth. And grace. Slick, muddy paws and loose leaf litter were not the most stable combination, and the wolf's eyes went big as he realised a moment too late that his awesome little "attack" wasn't going to go as planned. His hind legs skidded out from under him and he tried to catch himself mid-fall, but--while he managed to keep from faceplanting into the forest floor--his forelegs landed at too strange an angle and he wound up crashing to ground just in front of the Aquila.

Reflexively from his training, he swung his body into alignment and tucked up his legs so he could roll to dissipate the extra momentum. In a combat situation, he might have stopped on his feet and sprung away, but this was just good ol' fashioned fun. Barry finished on his back, pawing wildly at the tawny coyote's chest and thrashing his head around, trying to nip at a leg. Clearly he was no worse for the wear--his tail was swinging furiously. Any blows he might have landed were exceedingly light: his claws were carefully retracted and he pushed only with the pads of his paws; any playful bites would be too weak to graze even the most sensitive skin.

It had been too long since he got to play like this--most "civilised adults" would frown on this tomfoolery. But hey, Zeke already knew he was a spazz, right? So Barrett laughed with pure, simple delight. To think... he wasn't even high yet!
