Hydra idled, for once, thinking of another game for she and her sisters to play. As she thought, she chewed on a low-hanging branch on a tree she lay beside. This in itself was a mind-numbing task, until she released it and was smacked right back into reality. She flinched backward and pushed herself away with her forelegs, managing to position herself into a seated position as she blinked down at the offender. 

An idea came to her, then. Hydra gripped another branch and pulled backward, letting it rebound in the opposite direction before it headed back toward her face. Instead of withdrawing, Hydra opened wide to catch it in her jowls. This proved to be painful, as it moved too quickly and caused her mouth to ache. Huffing, Hydra—not one to give up so easily—gripped the branch again, pulled, and released. As it returned toward her again, this time Hydra sprung backward and observed the swaying branch, only moving to catch it again when it did not rush in her direction as it had before. 

This time she moved too slow, it evaded her grip, and thwapped her gently on the nose. Hydra bore her teeth at the offender, swiping at it with a forelimb and darting away before it could retaliate.
