as much as a headstart as he had, tachyon was not a swift beast -- pearl easily closed the gap between them. with a grunt each step he tried to open up the length of his stride, only to receive a quick nip to his shoulder as if to taunt him for walrus-style lumbering. with a noise not unlike a bark he swerved messily away, executing a sloppily done circle to rejoin pearl as she zoomed by. with a rumbly growl he stalked after her, attempting to land a few cheeky nips on her trailing tail or haunch. he was enjoying himself so much he scarcely noticed how out of breath he was -- it had been a long time since he had engaged in the noblest pursuit of all: play.
