Noctisardor Bypass may i be snuggling your mom by candlelight?

Hope you don't mind me wrapping Gideon up here! Feel free to post once more or archive as-is!

Gideon whirled and whirled, and when he wasn't whirling he was bobbing and weaving around Etienne. His was a chorus of growls and giggles as he snapped at the sea wolf's wispy fur here and lurched away from a playful retaliation there. This burst of energy lasted only a little while, but to Gideon it was hours of fun.

The last of his energy ran out just as Heda came to gather him for a nap. She found him sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, the picture of a well worn-out child. Gideon spared Etienne one last backward glance as he followed his mama into the den, and he was so exhausted from the play session that he was asleep before his chin hit the dirt.
