Blacktail Deer Plateau battle of the bewilderbeast

Edit on 7/28: Narrating a conclusion. :)

Since he'd called her a gator a moment ago, Osprey took his playful jab to mean that she was just such a scary beast and not one of its unwitting victims. The pup grinned accordingly, scrunching her little face and peeling back her lips to show two rows of perfectly white, needle-like teeth.

A moment later, her lips sheathed her fangs again and Osprey eagerly questioned, "Does a gataw waw? Weal loud?" Before she even finished answering the question, Uncle Atticus roared loudly in response, causing young Osprey to squeal like a stuck pig and start running.

He chased her, then she turned the tables and chased him, and when all was said and done, Osprey Jr. flopped to the ground, giggled a minute, then passed out like a drunk college student following a bender.
