Sly Fox Sand Dunes primera

S'ari was filled with indescribable joy that this coyote was joining in the fun. They chased each other across the dunes, S'ari leaping as best she could out of the way when the other attempted to tag her, but she was often tagged anyways. She had not had this much fun in months, not since she'd still been with her Tribe. She felt like a child again, free to roam the desert without worry for the knowledge that her family was always close by. She laughed and leaped and ran, and then... What a wonderful idea!

S'ari turned suddenly in the sand and attempted to nudge her new friend in the shoulder, to push her over the dune to go tumbling to the bottom. Then, without waiting to see if she'd been successful, she yip-howled and threw herself down the dune and flipped head-over-paws almost all the way down. She kept her eyes firmly closed and tried not to breathe in the sand; she had done this a hundred times before at home and always ended up a bit winded and possibly bruised, but never seriously harmed. When she finally stopped rolling, she gasped for air, staring up into the sky, breathless and joyful.
