Blacktail Deer Plateau Bye, baby Bunting, daddy's gone a-hunting

If Osprey's attention span was limited, then Saēna's was practically non-existent. Every movement her cousin made poked a sensitive spot on the younger girl's tummy or rib-cage that resulted in shivers of a new sensation throughout her entire body. Lacking both the vocabulary and comprehension to understand these shivers to be nothing more but a ticklish response, and unsure whether they felt good or bad, Saēna could only whine accusingly and twitch her body this way and that in futile attempts to escape the torture. Each time she thought she was safe, the sensation would blossom elsewhere.

Presently assaulted by Osprey's tickling, the girl forgot why she was chewing on the darker pup's limb and let go of it altogether. Thus freed, the dark-furred Raptor babe launched a second attack on Saēna, but this time she wiggled and beat the ground alongside the patchy pup rather than on top of her. Saēna's light blue eyes rolled in Osprey's direction just in time for the older pup's play bow to send a surge of instinct into her body.

She was quick to react, hopping to her feet and throwing her own chest to the ground beneath her while her rump lifted and wiggled in the air. Though she could not hear the taunts thrown her way, she responded with her own round of raucous barks and the tumbling of her long tongue to hang out the side of her lips. Without hesitation and without realizing it was somewhat impolite to act so suddenly, the girl threw herself at Osprey with toothless mouth widened into a stretched oval aimed directly at the other's stubby left ear.
