He could hear the snow crunching softly, indicating her footsteps approaching him. He smiled with devilish glee as he tried to quickly of some way to prank her. But what? How? He hadn't thought this through and she was only a few paces away. Dangit! He looked around the bushes desperately searching for something interesting... anything interesting. There was a rock, some crispy leaves, a stick. Well none of that was interesting. Shit. She was right behind him now. He had to come up with something fast! And then, he got it! He spun around to face her. "I've got it... right... uh... in here!" he said, emphasizing the 'here'. His paws were pressed together on the ground in front of him, covering something on the ground. He grinned and motioned with his nose down toward his paws. "Careful... you'll have to get close to see it, so it doesn't get away." His tone was enthusiastic but quickly turned into a whisper, as though their voices would startle the secret thing he was covering. His body lowered, hoping to draw her in with his movement as he laid down - his paws still firmly covering the thing he wanted to show her. His eyes looked between her then flicked to his paws and then back again like "look! look at it! look here!" and he struggled to contain his excited breathing. Right here..." he whispered, leaning in closer to his paws and waiting for him to come close. He began to slowly tilt his paws out to the sides to reveal what was beneath. Would she get close to look at what he had for her before it disappeared? --- Speech. |
