Sun Mote Copse The stars collected, each world accounted for

Well, this guy was fun- not a stick in the mud like his mom was. With one bite he'd managed to fell his foe, and that was enough to drive Bronco absolutely bonkers with delight. He shrieked with glee and began mouthing at Eljay's paw, and then went for his muzzle and nose and ears- but he felt no need to bite hard. Instead, he mostly just nibbled on Eljay, wherever he could get a hold of the soft, grey fluff, and bopped him a couple times on his nose, giggling over the fact that he was allowed to get away with that. 

He didn't hear his mother the first time she spoke his name; he'd already gotten very good at using selective hearing. When she said his name again, he gave her the side-eye; until he caught her grin. He knew that look. This meant something fun was going to happen- and he wasn't disappointed. The word she spoke was one he knew very well! Emitting another high-pitched note that only dogs (and wolves, I guess!) would hear, he stumbled over Eljay's forelegs and went straight for his abdomen, pushing his nose against Eljay's belly to see if he was ticklish.
