why were you digging, what did you bury?

Yeah! You can fade in a final post or I can edit this to conclude it, your choice!

Kevlyn nearly fainted from relief when Caiaphas rose like some earthbound spectre and blinked down at him. He reeled, managing to keep a shaky grip on his consciousness though blood was quickly rushing to his head. Spots swam in front of his eyes as his heart raced to catch up with his brain.

No sooner than he recovered did Caiaphas aim her pinching jaws at him and leap away, resembling a coyote far more than a wolf. She was off like a shot and Kevlyn, enticed by the promise of play, tore after her. There was no hope of him catching her—maybe he was the butt of the joke after all—but he threw all his effort into his pursuit anyway. He could always hope she would slow down and allow him to win.
