Sawtooth Spire what does the fox say

His patience ran out at about twenty seconds, which was good for a toddler that was eager to run around the brush searching for his new pal. When time was up, he jerked his head up and barked excitedly into the trees, only to spin around and gasp to see that the hider was still standing there. The third born stood dumbfounded for several long moments, eyes wide and jaw slackened. But then he furrowed his brows, cocking his head from side to side. "Kii?" he questioned. Why was she not hiding? Did she not know how to play this game?

He could not communicate well with his words, so he opted for the next best thing: he demonstrated. He stuck a paw out at her, then nodded his head as he bounded over to a bush and hid behind it. He then scurried back, gesturing to himself with the same paw, and he charaded a count, hiding his eyes and then leaping up with another bark. He made a show of sniffing around and looking behind objects, before he reached the bush behind which "she" was hiding. He woofed excitedly, tail wagging, and then hurried to switch positions, acting out the part of someone who had just been found.

When he came back to Nanuk, he sat down with and gave her a firm nod. See? That's how it is done. Easy. He dismissed her once more with a wave of his paw, and assumed his counting position. He would give her another chance at this since she was new to it.
