Flycatcher Downs i really fucked it up this time didn’t i my dear?

Somehow, Hide didn't really believe him there. But that didn't matter - he'd help him learn how, over time. But for now, his sneak attack worked, and he managed to get Orochi on his back beneath him, red tail swishing through the air behind him. Pride swelled in his chest, until the other boy kicked him in the stomach and just about knocked the air out of him. 

Still, Hide persevered - the red wolf shouldered down on his companion, letting out a playful growl and grabbing at one of Orochi's ears. Clumsy, yes, but not harsh.
