After all the adventure and excitement of the last few days, Sophie was ready for a break. A day off, so to speak; so, for today at least, she wasn't going anywhere. Boothe seemed unhappy about the decision, having been left behind more often than he'd been brought along, but a round of wrestling, which Sophie oh-so-graciously "let" him win, he was willing to concede that perhaps he'd like to stay home for a while, too. At the moment, they were laying in a pile of fur and puppy fat, Boothe sprawled on top of his sister and nearly smothering her, and chewing on her floppy ear lazily.
Sophie squirmed underneath him occasionally, though she was secretly glad that she'd apparently grown enough to actually show when he sprawled on top of her like this. Before, he'd lay over her and she'd disappear completely; now, her head appeared between his paws, and she could feel cold air on her tail, which meant she was at least longer than she used to be. Boothe growled lightly as she squirmed and whined, batting at her nose with a paw before rolling off her. "Whatcha wan do?" He asked , laying gazing up at the morning sun for a moment before rolling his head to look at her. Sophie panted for a moment before bouncing to her feet, shaking herself off and feeling the soft slide of her wooden bracelet up and down her ankle.
"Wan'a...tag!" Sophie chirped, and darted over, hitting Boothe's nose hard enough to hurt before taking off with a high-pitched giggle. Boothe's shout of "Hey!" went ignored, but soon enough her brother was chasing her, and then tackling her to the ground, growling and chewing on her tail. Sophie whined, and then twisted around and "punched" him again. They exchanged bats that way, Boothe simply sitting on top of Sophie and hitting her until she saw stars, until the younger sibling finally conceded with a whimper. Boothe howled his triumph, running around the clearing with his tail streaming behind him and his ears perked high, and Sophie sat and rubbed at her nose, pouting and wondering if there would ever be a game she could win.
