“No!” Acrux exclaimed, causing Pie to freeze with their tongue a hairsbreadth away from their gluey paw. “Don’t eat that!” They only understood that very first word—and only barely, at that—so they finished their taste test. Afterward, they set down their paw and gazed up at their big brother inquisitively.

They didn’t put up a fight when Acrux scooped them toward himself, though they giggled and wriggled when he began wiping at them. It tickled! With the mucus acting like a lubricant, they managed to squirm out of his grip. With a particularly mischievous giggle, they tried to run past him.

They weren’t very quick, nor coordinated. But they stumbled toward the door, forgetting what was happening there. They darted out into the rainstorm, the rush of it muffling the gasp that escaped Pie at the cold deluge. Within seconds, they were soaked and flattened to the ground. At least they were now free of brotherly bogies.
