A Morning Game

OOC: Pffft, you posted seven hours after me. That's NOTHING! Although now it's my turn to apologize for the late post.





The friendly scuffle brought a grin to Liam's face. He pushed her once more, stubbornly wanting her to be the one to put an end to the foolish game. “Right.” he said, regarding her comment on not wanting a thief breaking into their storage. Although technically the thief would only be stealing a small percentage of the food – and it wouldn't even be in the storage cellar yet. This was neutral territory and although it would be rude and disrespectful to steal someone else's kills, it wasn't a major crime that needed severe punishment. “Glad to know you're defending the pack's food supply – although I do feel bad for that poor cougar.” Liam chuckled as he poked her arm, just a couple inches below her latest scar. “You know that scar makes you look kind of bad-ass?” he chuckled again, truly entertained by his train of thought.


For a moment Liam just watched Terra. He could tell by her eyes that she was thinking of something. He smirked – waiting for the big reveal. Then she told him there was a way to keep these potential thieves away. Of course Liam was all ears. He grinned at her, anticipating what she was going to say next. But what she came out with was a little strange. One of them be a thief? Wasn't that a little pointless? They were both from the same pack and as far as Liam knew, they were both very loyal to the Court. Stealing food from one's own pack was definitely a strange idea. “Oh, it's a game! Makes sense now!” he said when she'd explained further – if the guard can get all of the food up the tree without leaving the other (the thief) with the opportunity to take any of it, he would be the winner. He nodded understandingly, simultaneously glancing at the large oak. He was debating whether or not it would be an easy climb. While Liam could climb trees, he wasn't the most agile wolf out there and the trees he'd climbed in the past had been a lot smaller. And definitely a lot easier. “Okay let's do it.” he said.


But, like Terra had said, who would be the thief? Liam was a good soul – maybe a little too good for his own... good. Ironically enough. Now Terra on the other hand... Terra and her brand new scar... she could make a pretty good thief. She was used to getting in trouble and, even better, causing trouble. Either way Liam wouldn't be very good though. He had never stolen before and climbing trees was a lot harder for him than it was for a petite female like Terra. He decided the only way he'd be able to decide was if Terra did the choosing for him. “You decide what you want – guard or thief?” he said excitedly.
