The beetle was terrifyingly fascinating. Ashlar peeked at it from where he crouched hunched, and he watched as it's gilded wings disappeared in a blur of motion.

He wanted to play with it, but he couldn't work up the courage himself. This was fine, apparently, as the insect only buzzed there a moment before lifting off in a lazy track towards the sky. As soon as it had, Ashlar lurched to his feet and crowed out a happy exclamation. He began to try and follow it through the sky, but it was too hard once it had flown high, so he instead had to stop stock still with his muzzle pointed straight up.
