the beauty and the beast

While big bro began waltzing around Galileo's toes Maera wagged her tail and watched the extraordinary --in her mind at least -- coordination of her brother's dance. She watched him collide with the old man's shoulder with her bright eyes that got even wider as her own brother turned to her and included her in the game.

An innevitable shudder took hold of her body as she prepared to jump into action, it'd be like the Beetle Battle all over again, instead this time it was highly unlikely Valtyr would end up squishing the peppered male. She barked and growled while trying to --poorly-- imitate some of Val's fancy footwork.

It was then that the enormous male they had taken as a toy extended his other leg towards her with a kind smile. She curled her lip and exposed her tiny yet sharp milk-teeth while she growled in a friendly manner.

Then without further ado, she dove for his paws and wrapped her jaws as best as she could around his gigantic paw. "Bite 'im " she commanded on the split second she stopped gnawing at his toes to get air.
