Wheeling Gull Isle renege

The more she protested the more riled he got. Mou would have probably backed down but he wasn't Mou anymore, or not just the passive boy. Moorhen called out and pushed at him with her body and his reactions became sharper, more frenzied, but less and less about dismantling the pile and more playful. He shimmied around her, lifted up to grab at pieces out of her reach, adjusted when she assailed him, but didn't quit. When he grew too winded from all the hurried activity he eventually lagged and let her dissuade him, giving up, and he stood watching her happily. The pile still stood, not missing any pieces.
