Even with the male's scrabbling movements, Ivev could still see that he was firmly wedged between two unyielding trunks. With a sigh, she gave up on her pushing, although her breath of stress was replaced by another laugh. At least this brute was taking his predicament in stride, although it was no doubt it was a rather awkward one.

Ivev took his tail and gave it a solid yet gentle tug, as if to say, you've got yourself good in there. Letting go, the female paced around to his face, ducking under several brambles. She came face to face with the elder male's snout.

Looks like you're going to have to live with the squirrels from now on.

Her blue eyes were crinkled with a smile, but she did seem a little apprehensive. Ivev could hope that the tree would give way to his squirming frame, or else he could truly face danger. It was as if nature had made a trap for the unruly male.

Stuck still? she asked as her eyes watched him try to overcome the puzzle he got himself stuck in.
