FALSEHOODS

with yama's side exposed, arcturus' hit nailed home -- briefly, anyway.

his sibling was quick to spin on her toes, rebuffing his second advance with a shove to his flank. arcturus sidestepped, but did not dodge; for a moment his footing was as rocky as the stones underneath, and he went stiff as a board to balance -- all the while giggling.

play was where arcturus was in his element -- for now anyway. little did he know some months in the future he'd turn into an unfun sourpuss, but for now his mind had forgotten all about the meteor, and was focused on tripping up yama so he could bite any toes he could.

they fought this way for some time, mighty little cubs that they were -- and they slept heavily that night, dreaming of worlds to come.
