Swiftcurrent Creek Stuttering Stanley

When Scimitar rose back onto all fours, Relonikiv felt a stab of disappointment. Weren't they going to play? It didn't last long, though. His cinnamon ears perked when the Alpha male loped to a nearby spot and began to dig. Relonikiv bounced after him, tail waving in the air and eyes shining with interest. He ground to a halt near the Alpha, head cocking to the right as Scimitar began to dig.

When he invited the pup to join him, Relonikiv didn't need to be asked twice. "Yah!" he chimed, jumping in right beside the adult. He watched for perhaps three seconds before beginning to claw at the dirt, emulating his superior. He began to giggle when dirt flew behind him, then made a noise of interest when something began emerging from the churned soil...

"Wha'that?!" he yelled, beginning to dig even faster.
