Bearclaw Valley you were not made to be understood, you were made to be experienced

brooding thoughts long forgotten, reigi's mood launched into an upward spiral, further heightened by alexander's excitement.  but he was not chasing her!  what was with this sudden disinterest in her game?  curious, she darted in and out of his range, nipping at his hocks.

she did not expect him to crash into her, and as he caught her off guard her jaws split, gaping in silent shock as she tumbled through the snow, coming to a halt as the pale tender flesh of her underbelly lay prone before him.

when he was upon her that same, prey-like fear gripped the heart in her breast and her paws flung out to brace against his chest.  she was reminded suddenly of the dark man in the meadow before the teeth mouthing her paws brought her back to present-time.

her mouth sought his lower jaw, gripping delicately as he goes to find her paws once more.  she is still ....unsure of this new game.  although her friend made an excellent blanket/windbreak, he was twice her size and she was not fond of the vulnerability exposed from this position.

taking advantage of the wiggle room he'd offered, she turned, back smacking up against his chest as she pries herself from beneath him.  even if she didn't like that part of the game, the barreling-into-each-other part was fun, so she decided to give it a shot, turning on a dime and leaping at the big man as if she could knock him down.
