Blacktail Deer Plateau It's alive with the beating of young hearts

Peregrine scampered as if his life depended on it, all the while wondering: was this what a rabbit felt like as it fled before the jaws of a hungry wolf? He sent a wild-eyed peek over his shoulder only to see Xi'nuata bearing down on him, despite his head start. To be a good sport and to egg her on further, he yipped and faced forward again, his dark paws thumping like staccato on the snowy ground.

He reached the edge of the forest, where the trees grew sparser and the snow, in turn, built up much more thickly. Afraid of hitting it too hard, he braked by dragging his paws suddenly. The footing was slick, so he stumbled a little, but thankfully didn't fall (that would've ended the game quickly). Instead, he ran parallel with the deepening snowfall before suddenly jumping forth into it.

Growling playfully, he pushed through the white stuff, aware that he was essentially making a trail for Xi'nuata. While it slowed him down, she would easily catch up to him. Aware of this, he nonetheless continued, because what choice did he have? Besides, half the fun of the chase was the ultimate capture. And once she tagged tagged him, the tables would turn and he would chase her again.
