Redhawk Caldera Five golden rings

I was in a bad mood until I started writing this post, haha. I got kind of carried away, but hey, you and Fin can have the credit for cheering me up. :D

How would they get out of this tricky predicament? Both wolves were rather stubborn; Finley wasn't one to turn down a challenge, and Elwood could be just as difficult at times. This was one such instance where he wouldn't be giving an inch, which meant that they could be in for a very long game of improvised tug of war.

He looked at her smugly, his lips closed firmly around the tip of her tail. He felt confident that she wasn't going anywhere, even if that meant that they would be frozen in place overnight, and someone would stumble onto their frigid bodies in the morning. Finley, however, had something else in mind -- as per usual. Elwood had learned to expect the unexpected in regards to Fin, although she still managed to surprise him consistently.

Yellow eyes widened as she began to move, inching closer to him. His gaze followed the motion of her paw as she reached towards his underbelly, and he instinctively tensed, rounding his back and arching his tummy away from her. "NO!" he yelped through gritted teeth, not yet relinquishing his grasp on her. But once her toes began to feather across his stomach, he knew he was done for. She had found his weakness -- now it was just a matter of how long he could resist.

His laughter began first as gentle snorts exhaled from his nose, but soon his whole body began to shake with the effort. Still, he held on to her tail, though it was becoming more difficult as he tried to dance away from her devious paw. Not only was his skin crawling in the simultaneously pleasant and unpleasant manner of being tickled, but he distinctly felt a peculiar knot in his stomach, accompanied by an acceleration of his heartbeat. What the hell?
