Moonspear Sweet child o' mine

Rannoch looked at Wraen with genuine surprise when he was told of his victory. It was hard to believe but, despite his self-doubt, he had no reason to assume that his packmate of lied about something so minuscule. 

Smiling, he looked from Wraen and to the trodden path they had raced upon, feeling suddenly ambitious. "Best two out of three?" He asked, turning back to his pack mate with the mischevious light in his turquoise eyes. 

The two raced to their heart's desire, only stopping when Rannoch felt that he couldn't go another step. Once he felt good enough to walk again, Rannoch bid his friend farewell and left the scene on stiff legs. He would retire to his den for the rest of the day, and rest up so that he could wake early the next day and patrol.
