Sophie tilted her head as Terra proclaimed that it was her turn to hide, while Boothe complained quite loudly that he didn't want to find, he wanted to hide. Sophie flattened one ear thoughtfully before she turned and leaned heavily on her brother, ending up climbing mostly on top of him with one paw in his face to shut him up. "Sophie want to find. Boofe help Sophie find?" She pleaded in her sweetest, most candy-coated "I'm you're little sister and you should do what I want to do for a change" voice.

Boothe was no match for Sophie's wide eyes and sweet, hopeful smile; grumbling all the while, the two puppies bent their heads together and closed their eyes, Sophie just glad to keep playing the game and Boothe's mind whirling through all the hiding places he could think of, determined to find Terra even faster than she'd found them.

With care Terra moved over to the edge of the snow. Stepping around it Terra made sure not to rustle the branches as she moved, silent as a ghost. Reaching a wide patch of snow, still just in sight of the den and pups, Terra began to dig. The snow flung around in big heaps, an obvious disturbance. Pretty quickly a Terra sized hole was in the snow. Happily she clambered inside, not bothering to cover the top. Her head was bent down, leaving just a pair of twitching black ears in sight.


She felt that the dug up snow was messy enough for them to notice, but letting them catch her with just that would probably be too difficult. To compromise Terra left one black ear out as well, though if she didn't move it it might pass as a shadow. It riveted around, tracking the noises in the forest. Ready!

Boothe opened his eyes immediately after the older woman's voice echoed over to them, spinning around and swiveling his ears atop his head eagerly. Sophie went more carefully, blinking her eyes open and then twisting around to look about and see what had changed. Of course, both puppies immediately noticed the large pile of dug up snow, but Boothe's first thought was that it was a trick, and said so--more loudly than Sophie might have--to his sister.

While Boothe turned to look at the other side of the clearing, Sophie twitched her nose at the pile of snow, her thoughts not quite so complicated as her brother's. He might have done fake hiding places, left obvious signs as to where he might be, and then run off to some sneakier place; but Sophie didn't think that way. She'd rather hide somewhere sneaky right off the bat, and leave no sign that she'd been there at all. And they were beginners at this game, after all, so maybe the obvious choice was the right one?

But she took the time to examine the snow from where she stood, and when Boothe began calling out that he heard Terra moving around over near the den, she noticed the odd shadow that moved...sorta like an ear. "You in the snow!" She shouted, and then, wagging her tail, added, "I see you'ms ear!"

Terra managed to not laugh as Boof declared her hiding place a trick. It was a clever idea, but not one to be used in such a game. Decoys were for buying time, nothing else. Boof did seem to have a good grasp on tricks, though. Using a decoy wasn't usually an idea that occurred for hiding. Pleased by this development Terra concentrated on trying to track the pups, hearing the brother troop over to the den. Soon enough though, success was met.


Hearing Sophie's cheerful cry Terra stepped out. Shaking the snow out of her coat she bounded back over to the clearing with the den. She stooped down and licked the pup's face. Clever. Maybe I should use a decoy next time like Boof suggested. She grinned widely, hoping that the pups had picked up on some tricks for hiding better this time.

Boothe pouted as Sophie was proven right, shoving her with a paw just before Terra completely cleared her hiding place and came over to lick Sophie's face. Despite her brother's disappointment, Sophie felt rather proud of herself; sometimes simple thinking was the best thinking. Wagging her tail, she wrinkled her nose slightly at Terra's suggestion, though Boothe brightened at having had a good idea, himself.

Sophie blinked at her brother and then smiled brightly, chirping, "Yeah! Decoy!" Even if she wasn't entirely sure what the word meant; though, with a few complicated trains of thought that criss-crossed and crashed into each other, she managed to figure it out for herself. Maybe. Letting her tongue roll out of her mouth happily, Sophie crossed her eyes and then brightened again. "Our turn! Our turn!"

"Alright.". Obediently Terra crouched down on the ground. She closed her eyes as her tail wagged softly. She was pretty sure that Boof would be using a decoy this time, even if it wasn't exactly the best situation for that. Terra was fair curious how the pup would put the decoy idea to work. The clearing was fairly bare, not counting the snow around the edges and a few bushes. The restrictions she'd placed to keep. the pups safe now seemed more like a challenge than anything else.

Her ears swiveled over to where the pups sat, temporarily replacing her eyes. "Ready!". Terra definitely hadn't come here expecting to do pup sitting, but she definitely was having fun. It was too bad Leon wasn't around. At this rate she'd be ready to head back to her pack before he arrived.
