Stone Circle Mud slipping and sliding.

Kallik reveled in Valette's affection, offering a few small kisses to her chin in return. He settled between her front legs when her look suggested she was ready, nodding his answer when she asked if he was also ready. Then they were off, down the muddy hill. It was startling at first, gravity pulling them down the slick decline and taking some of his feeling of control away. But he felt Valette's arms snug around him, and he knew she wouldn't let him fall or get hurt. 

Her laughing only further relaxed him, so that by the time they were nearing the bottom, a soft, quiet laugh escaped his throat. It was just one small huff of sound, but it was the first time he could really remember making it in a long time. They came to relatively gentle stop and he grinned up at her as she asked if it had been fun. His tail beat against her, flinging mud in their faces, and he beamed up at her and nodded. He wanted to do that again. He offered her a few more kisses to her chin in thanks before taking a few steps forward and shaking mud from his stained fur. Then he looked to Valette for direction.
