Jokull was far faster and far stronger than her pudgy little brother. She was upon him so quickly that there was little to nothing he could've done to prepare. Now, all he could do was back away from her and try to plaster himself against the ground - however, she was having none of that. Her teeth were grabbing at all kinds of places, and seemed to find that the most squealing and squawking came about when her teeth were near his neck.
It was a natural reaction, something which would probably serve him later in life when little Larus realized how dangerous a true fight could be. He tried to pull away but that just hurt more; he tried to wriggle and kick with his feet, but he was hardly coordinated. Just when all hope seemed lost... Jokull let go. Larus inhaled a few sharp sniffs to counter his runny nose, and even took a moment to blink the tears from his eyes, before realizing that Jokull had really stopped.
Not only had she stopped, but she was distracted. At first Larus was skeptical of her absence, thinking it was probably a new twist on the game she liked to play with him. Her attention was upon the old tree he had found. Ya smells that? Das da smell...of ad-ven-ture.
She stated firmly, and then was investigating without a modicum of fear. The boy waddled a few steps around the old tree and sniffed, more so to clear his nasal passages of drippy snot than to actually search for anything. Why would he want to ad ven toor? That didn't sound like fun! It sounded scary!
When he looked back to see if Jokull was still nearby, he saw that she wasn't, and became quite nervous. It was one thing to be targeted by his sister, but another thing entirely to lose her. Mommy and daddy wouldn't like that! He'd have to find her before --
But there she was. Peering out from the great big tree with a very familiar look. He dared not to disobey her, and threaten the wrath of his superior sibling. So with a gulp to calm his nerves (it didn't work), Larus began to slink towards the rotten tree. He poked his nose inside of the hollow where Jokull stood, and gradually eased his head in, then his shoulders, and then his butt - at which point his big fat butt cut off the light quite suddenly. He let out a shriek of surprise right in Jokull's nearby ears.
