Big Salmon Lake in the corner with the scarlet letter

Something changed then; for a moment it was as though his playful companion saw through him, or at the very least saw past him in such a way that gave him pause as well. But before Mordecai could address it, she had snapped back to normal… slightly. With just a couple of mere statements to him and that devious smile, she had taken off at speeds that he had no hope of pursuing her after with, beating a hasty retreat into the swallowing depths of the tall autumn grass.

Mordecai's expression fell with a mix of concern and disappointment, and he wheeled around to peer behind him as though he would see what had given her cause to take off. Nothing revealed itself in the moments that he took to survey and pick through the scenery, and his concern shifted fully into disappointment. He wondered why she had chosen to abandoned their play like that, but discarded the thought. Something had startled her, something had driven her away, but he didn't believe it was himself who had done it.

With a quiet whine to himself, Mordecai decided to return to the Spine then, and left the scene of their joyful grounds behind him.
