Chimera Fields bear necessities

Riiight. She totally knew what a crocodile was, but couldn't separate the expression using an animal to whatever it was that was setting her off. She called him a name. He grinned, a lazy, knowing sort of expression that came with those coy, narrowed eyes as he stared down his muzzle towards her. Shit-for-brains. This wasn't the first time he'd been underestimated. It wasn't going to be the last.

"Cute. Real cute," he said as she lunged forward, snapping her teeth awfully close to his nose. He chose that exact moment to lick hers, rolling his pink tongue over her dark nares and stealing it back just as quick. She was after him again, going for that rough and tumble he hadn't really experienced since he was a pup. Back then, a good romp with his brothers was pure entertainment. Now? And with a lady. He didn't mind at all. Nope. Not one little bit. 

They rolled. She stole away, snapping at his tail as she darted out of reach. Kero righted himself, watching as she circled him. Unmoving, he let her look him over, let her circle as she finally introduced herself and explained why she was so quick to growl over his choice expression. Made sense. "A pleasure, Kroc. Name's Shit-for-brains. How'd you know?"

He ducked then, tucking his nose beneath her head and catching her chest upon the flat of his crown. He lifted his neck, coming up beneath her in hopes to lift her forepaws off the ground. It was an awkward move. A-typical at best, but given her size, he decided to switch it up a bit. They were playing after all. The move was harmless. Besides. She seemed like the kind of gal who liked to be on top.
