Duck Lake duck hunt

When it came to running away or relinquishing responsibility, Leaf was as confident as they came. It was all she had done in her life so far, and so it was understandable she had mastered it. Still, she was feeling a little bolder today, and so she decided that maybe negotiations were in order. Drawing the predatory cat towards the aspen trees, she sprinted ahead. Figuring she had enough of a head-start, she paused to turn around and talk some sense to her hunter. (However, if the lead was not too great, she would merely call out to the cat instead). "You know what would be interesting? If I chased you. The cat is always chasing the fox or the wolf or the hapless mouse. It can be fun being chased!" Lies, but she did not think of them as lies, so surely they were anything but that!
