Sun Mote Copse driving alone in my car

Bronco stretched his jaw out, having hit Towhee's shoulder hard enough to drive him back a couple steps, but he tried to make it look like he was just doing that for show, and rolled his shoulders, proud that she'd acknowledged his move. He probably could have taken more credit for it, had he intended to make that move all along- but in truth, that decision had been one made in action...But obviously it'd worked. He hadn't been able to do much damage, but...At least his speed and agility were catching her notice. 

As soon as she tensed, though, he too crouched, ready for her to launch at him, when instead she bolted away. He was surprised- and he bounded first to the side, as though to dodge her- before he poured on the speed and dashed off after her, a couple paces behind due to his blunder at the beginning of the chase. Still- it was all good practice for him, even though he did chase Towhee while leering at her in a low, but loud voice: Suh-maaaaaaaaan-thuh!" As he went.
