Blackfeather Woods down in the river to pray

An adventure? Peeped the child with surprise and curiosity lacing his voice, but before he could say anything else the ground shifted and wiggled like the forest was alive, and it too was happy for the dark princeling's return. He was not frightened; but when Anansi asked the question his pale gaze flicked to spy Maegi's face, his ears turning to attentively gather her explanation. She did not offer much. But, she did not seem to be afraid of whatever it was, so Sobek chose to ignore the feeling and looked to his brother for continued play.

He dove snout-first against Anansi and began to climb on him, mouth wide so all his lovely snaggled dentistry could be seen, and lightly mimed grabbing at his pale neck, face, shoulder — typical silly, danger-free puppy play. The sound of his jaws occasionally clicking (or his grunts and piggish snorts) were all the sounds he made.
