The Sunspire Up, up and away...

Ferdie Von Pelt enjoyed taking the follower position he kept close enough to Ame that she would not have to keep looking back to see if he was following but he was not so close as to invade her personal space, no he would save that for later. As they wordlessly reached the waterfall and doubled back he found though they were traveling quietly he was savoring the time he was getting to spend with her.

He was learning her gait and watching the graceful and fluid stride, she held naturally. Even when they had to move slower and more careful. Finally they received the chance, he thought might not happen, to open their stride and enjoy a moment of respite from the rocky terrain. Ferdie did not squander the opportunity.

His stride lengthening, his tail waved happily as he passed by her delivering a nip to her flank, lighter then the nips she usually placed upon him, but it was sure going to be felt. He offered her a grin as he bounded up ahead spun around to face her, his front end dropping lowering then his back end just slightly before he spun back around after she had made two more strides and he paced away. He'd continue to follow the deer trail so at least she'd know where he was going but his longer legs would afford him a further stretch to get ahead of her, she'd have to work harder to catch him. as he darted under a bush and kept going.

He considered hiding for a moment then thought the better of it, they were on task right now, just having a little fun while doing it. He glanced over his shoulder looking for her as he continued his forward stride.
