Hm. He hadn't eaten Titus, but... "I think that's only 'cause he couldn't fit the rabbit into his mouth whole. If that puffskein gets anywhere near, he's catnip." Alice allowed the lil' furball to finish his berry leafy feast- LOL, she was so punny. Where was Nigel?- before giving Custard one last nudge. He began rolling, and with his human following close behind, made it to the end fairly quickly.
"Who needs to carry anything? I'm done." And she wouldn't have bent down to pick it up, that was for sure. Merlin knew her back agreed.
Mo scoffed at Alice, who was doing that thing where she purposefully misunderstood him. Maybe it was to make him feel stupid, maybe it was teasing. Maybe it was just Alice, and there was no point in searching for deeper meanings. "We're well behind everyone else. That's the point."
Mo threw berries toward the end of the course, shuffling close behind Spike and herding with his feet so the puffskein couldn't wander or dawdle or lick rocks. It seemed to work, and Spike rolled after Custard to his finish. "I think you could train Atole not to eat your puffskein. I mean... they're pretty cute, aren't they?"
Not terrifying or deadly at all, but there was something endearing about that rock-licking ball of fuzz. "Spike. Give Alice a kiss." Hehe.
