There suddenly seemed to be more and more children, and he snorted, amused once again, as they tore around the bonfire. Several skirted by his tail or gestured to his teeth, to claws, but either remained undaunted or unafraid; perhaps Ancients were simply less bothered with shifts, with animals, they could foundationally understand. Regardless, several screamed near him, loud and obnoxious, then giggling, as a little one prowled nearby.
Tripping over some roots and rocks, she seemed to be making her way over to him. His ears went back and forth, mind trying to decide if this was a moment to let a youth win, or to bombard and take off. In the end, he stayed still while she shrieked about dogs, and lunged for him at the last possible moment. His tail wagged as she tagged it, and he reclaimed the stick, gaze flickering around for his next victim as the rest began to shriek and unfurl, running in all directions.
