Now that he had her undivided attention, Bronco waited just a moment longer, after the wide-eyed child begged for his answer before he straightened up, jerked his head to the side and hunched his shoulders. He grinned- and stomped his front feet in the mud one by one. "I'm aaaaaa-" He said, and inhaled a big breath.

Then, he roared, in an animated, comical voice-

"Brrrrroncosaurus!" He pattered all his feet in the mud, sending splashes of muddy water in all directions, before he crow-hopped on the spot. "I'mmma gunna git ya if you don't run!" He said, pouncing back a few steps- so the kid could get a head start on him, and then he'd chased her around for the rest of the afternoon gleefully.
