Swiftcurrent Creek With this apple we shall PLAY!!

Tuwawi watched the boys with a lazy gaze, thoroughly bemused by their childlike game. Keep-away appeared to be today's sport of choice... a most entertaining spectacle, indeed. At first, Ferdie maintained power over the fruit, but Jace was quick to interfere and seize the prize for himself. Not to be outdone, the older man fell swift upon the dark youth's heels, poised and ready for the tackle.

Suspense was in the air, and it spurred Tuwawi's ears to prick as she anticipated Ferdie's impending strike. Her tongue brushes against the rough leather of her nose and across the marred skin by her chops, hungry to learn who the victor of this competition would be.
