Swiftcurrent Creek Swift and sweet

Burdock's well-aimed attack was interrupted by his mother's arrival, therefore the impact that was an explosion-cannon-ball like in the boy's imagination, lost steam and fizzled out the moment his father had caught a whiff of, where things were going and had got to his feet. There was a shadow of disappointment in is face, which disappeared the moment Arlette invited the kids to investigate the toy she had brought them. To him it seemed like a thing stolen from a giant. To be fair - everything was disproportionately huge in Burdock's little world. He let out a quiet, suspicious growl, then padded over to carefully sniff at the thing first. But then he decided - with Violet present - it was a good time to show her, who was the big bad wolf here. So with a squeaky battle cry he turned and pounced at his sister, who happened to be nearby.
