Gravity tipped him forward and he sourly wished his paws were off the ground so he could windmill them wildly in an attempt to regain his balance. The deceptive patch of sodden grass had turned into something much more slippery than he'd mistaken for a solid footing and he was falling forward. His head seemed to turn in slow motion, watching as Wretch wriggled her body backwards, trying her best to get out of the way before he hit her. It was a doomed attempt- he was already halfway down as she started moving. But perhaps her tactic had been to get him to land on a place were she wanted instead of throwing his full weight on her head or chest. There was nothing he could do as her pale belly came into veiw before his face felt her sodden fur against his own soaking face. It happened in a split second and he barely had any time to analyse what had happened before he face planted his nieces stomach, most likely pushing all the air out of her. Or perhaps not quite, because she spoke, teasing him once again.
"Shurrup you!"
He tried to speak but his face still pressed against her stomach and his tones were muffled by her fur and the rainstorm crashing around them. Her body shifted beneath him and she twisted out from underneath him. Luckily he'd regained control of his paws and managed to support himself while she wriggled from beneath him. As soon as she was on her paws, Saul pounced again. Assuming she was facing away from him, as he expected her to be after having wriggled away, he intended his paws to aim for her back legs. His right paw came round, trying to hook her paws out from under her. He couldnt see where she was properly, the rain was coming harder now. But green eyes could just see the end of a sodden tail and he moved his face forward, opening his jaws to see if he could catch her tail as well as tripping her up. It was all about luck, especially since the male was having a hard time seeing in front of him, the rain was coming so thick and fast. With a laugh he launched forward, hoping beyound anything that he'd aimed for the right places.
