Fairspell Meadow Lepus and the Grand Evasion

The second he was given the O.K. to do so, Minshi finished off what remained of the rabbit, taking the rest of the berries down with the meat. Once done, he sat back, tongue drawing out over his muzzle and incisors as he began cleaning himself off, barely catching the question. "Nope," the boy had answered absentmindedly. "I did, but I wanted to travel..." He didn't elaborate any further, his attention being pulled elsewhere. His skin started to itch again, but of course, he blamed it on his previous trek through the muddy waters. It'd come back much worse than it'd previously been, however, making it impossible to ignore. One of his hind legs drew up to scratch as his stomach, which was when he realized that it wasn't just the parts that had been coated in mud that itched. It had spread to other regions of his body, filling him with dread. Skin growing irritated wasn't too out of the norm, but when his mouth had started to ache, the skin beneath his fur reddening, he'd started to suspect something was off.

"What did-" pause, scratch, continue. "-you do to that rabbit?" He tried to look towards the patchwork male, but was forced to blink several times as his eyes began to water. They stung, making him lay down and draw his paws up close to them as he tried to wipe away whatever it was that was irritating them. By the time he'd moved his paws away, however, his vision had dimmed. In his peripheral he saw only darkness, and it was closing in on the rest of his sight. The star child's body jolted upwards, bringing him to his feet and having his legs spread apart in an attempt to balance himself. "What is this? What's happening?" the words came out as a confused whimper. It was then he'd realized that the stranger was not his guardian angel, but some imp that had been sent to trick him.
