Broken Boulder look the void in the eye and laugh

Oh, hell! She'd done it again!

Lily resisted the urge to stumble backwards in shock, letting out a laugh instead. She hastily cleared her throat, looking away, though the mirth still remained in her eyes. Before he could rise again, she moved to place one paw gently--but firmly--on his shoulder, the other hovering just above his neck. She looked down at him, head cocked quizzically.

"So this is where I'd try to pin you down, yeah?" the girl asked, teeth gleaming white in a smile. She prodded playfully at his cheek a couple of times with her paw, then got off him altogether, stepping around him, tail aloft and wagging. "Or go for your throat, if you were trying to kill me?" she mused aloud, gazing upwards at the sky for a moment.

"Was that good?" Lily inquired, looking suddenly down at Vilkas again. "Here, get up--I feel weird with you on the ground and me. . .well, not. Although I could get used to it, with time." Her voice broke in a giggle. "Listen to me, getting haughty."
