Fox's Glade take it slow

He drew forward at the voice of another, ears perked and torso tall. Light danced in his eyes and a crooked smile drew over his mouth, to touch his face with a happiness which radiated right down the length of him, to the sway of his tail.

"Where are you?" he said again, and he took to the general direction he thought he'd heard her voice. The leaves shook around him with every delighted bound -- her voice sounded young, perhaps he would find someone else his age, like the girl in the meadows -- and he turned his eyes to search left and right, unwilling to sail right past her --

But of course he saw her, almost a moment too late. Kaito swept his attention across the centre of his path, right as her hazel eyes swirled through the shadows in front of him. "Oh!" and he crashed on his brakes and hopped to a stop, hoping to land a few paces short of crashing into her.

Feel free to decide whether Kaito manages to stop in time, or if he does crash into her haha :)
