Who Are You Calling Tiny?!

*fusses over him*

*unconscious*

*hisses and snaps at zem*

*squeaks and struggles to get out of zir grip*

*bites him*

*goes limp*

Mmmm tasty...

Wha... no... it's my prey!

You stole it

*curls up into a protective ball, somewhat squishing Perceptive, and broadcasts xir distress*

Why won't you let me have it?! Do you hate me?

*screams quietly*

Just let me eat it... please!

*sobs, and tugs on Lilith*

*spirals further, feeling abandoned*

*hugs Perceptive tightly*

*nods weakly, and slumps in her arms, still not releasing his neck*

*limp, his heartbeat weak*

*hisses and snaps at zem*

*squeaks and struggles to get out of zir grip*

*xir hands shoots out and grabs him*

*feels his tail getting grabbed and squeaks in panic, still stuck and unable to move in either direction or even just turn to defend himself*

*stalking @tiny-raptor-hatchling*

*hiding in the high grass*

*clumsily wades through it*

*slips into a tafelshrew burrow*

*stares down at the entrance, and waits*

*crouches down, just out of reach, heart beating fast*

*reaches a hand down, feeling around*

*just barely brushes against his tail*

*stretches xir arm further, and scrabbles at it*

*tries to crawl in further, getting just out of xir reach*

*squishes xir face into the dirt*

*the burrow’s opening is too narrow for xir head to fit*

*hiding in the high grass*

*shuffling around the house, holding the back of the couch for support*

*sneakily following her*

Not only am I trapped here, I can’t even get around

*slips on the smooth marble floor and lets out a startled squeak before catching himself and quickly diving under the couch to hide*

Hello?

*pressed against the floor, heart beating fast*

*continues following her*

*pauses to hear the scuffling feet*

*stops*

*smiles to herself, and continues*

*follows*

*slowly turns around*

*circles her so he’s staying in her blind spot*

*turns fully in a circle*

*is just a tiny bit too slow*

Aha!

*chirps and looks at her with big innocent eyes*

Yeah. You took really long to notice me.

You were very sneaky.

*chirps proudly* I know.

So. What now, that you’ve caught me?

You’re my prey!

Somewhat, yes. Rocco injured me, and I’m still recovering.

Practice walking?

They weren’t minor injuries. Along with the blood loss and pain, healing takes a lot of energy.

*nuzzles her*

What sort of games?

Erlisen showed me a fun one, she has a little light and I try to catch it.

*leaps at it*

*points it behind him*

*swivels around*

*twirls it in a circle*

*chirps and twirls along*

*shines it under the couch*

*slides after it*

*swipes it side to side*

*pauses in the doorway as she arrives, watching them with a fond expression*

Leela! I was just- I was just—

*chuckles* Do not let me disturb you.

It is good to see you relax.

Am I? Relaxed? I suppose I have. You can thank Perceptive for that

*chirps and purrs happily*

*scratches his head again*

I’m not. *fluffs up his feathers*

Yes, you are!

No, I’m a hunter. I can’t be cute!

Really? Because you look very cute to me

*pouts* Only because I’m still little. When I’m grown I’ll be fearsome!

Oh, very fearsome, I’m sure.

You will be a great warrior, no one will dare challenge you.

*chirps proudly*

Oh, yes. You’ll be the greatest hunter on Gallifrey. Pigbears won’t stand a chance

I’ll hunt all the pig-bears!

And be very cute while you’re doing it

*growls and playfully snaps at her*
