Heron Lake Plateau playtime

"One..." The sound of scrambling paws showed they were off to find a good hiding spot. "Two..." The moving paws vanished from hearing, but he remembered the direction they'd gone off to, both the same way. "Three..." He heard some sounds in the not far off distance, but couldn't place them entirely. "Four... Five... Six... Seven... Eight... Nine... Ten! Ready or not, here I come!" Eljay turned to look around and saw nothing at first glance. He moved in the direction of the sounds eagerly, deciding not to use his nose just yet because it'd be much more fun to try and find them on sight alone first.

He noticed the whirring tail sticking out from the log pretty much immediately, but didn't want to blow Tywyll's confidence. "Hmm, where could they be," Eljay wondered out loud as he walked past the log. He glanced back at the log as he moved past to make sure Tywyll thought he hadn't seen him. What he didn't notice though was the lump of Cinder laying in the tall grasses just before him. As Eljay was still looking backwards at the log he tumbled over Cinder and landed flat on his face on the other side with a loud "oomph".
