Whitebark Stream now it’s quarter to three

The spirited boy did not seem to falter at Kiyoshi’s spoken doubts. Instead of returning to the bank where he would be safe, Toshi had opted to prove his sibling wrong via a demonstration of skill. The stoic young pup watched from his place in the dirt. His expression was unshifted.
 
Toshi tumbled into the waters with his attempt to cross onto the next steppingstone. He shouted a request for Kiyoshi to not watch. The young Draconid had already witnessed the fumble of his brother’s paws. His coat was still speckled with the touch of water from the stream.
 
“Toshi wet butt,” Kiyoshi deadpanned to his brother, motioning with a gesture of his nose. The other boy had still made it to his goal. If the end result was all that mattered, the failed attempt could have easily been crossed from the list. The rules had not been established before Toshi had tried to cross, however.
