The Tangle [M] And roar beside the lions thinking how is it so easy

Ashlar was too caught by the game to see Augur watching. The moment she invited him to chase, he complied. A small yip escaped as he took off through the shadows.

She was fast! He pressed himself to keep up and to whirl up behind her and attempt to catch at her withers with nips that barely connected, let alone left any mark. He just wanted to prove he had caught her.

He was too breathless to laugh out loud, but he was clearly having a blast. If he caught her and she turned the chase to him, he would be ready to pivot, hoping to avoid capture that would end the game so quickly.
