Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination
One might not think a leopard and an eagle could shift enough snow to achieve what they wanted, and yet, the rooftop they were using had quite enough snow on it at just the right angle that success was indeed seen. Pulses of jubilation radiated from the leopard, who sprang from the now-clear rooftop to an adjacent one as the snow came tumbling down, looking to his friend with bright blue eyes that seemed to hold a smile in them, before leaning over the gutters to view the blockage they had wrought.
It was something he was sure one of the residents of the Citadel would be annoyed to have to move the next time they ventured this way, and perhaps Chuy himself would clear it later, using antlers and the strength of his moose shift – but for now, it would serve another purpose.
‘Excellent,’ he hummed, before looking between each path the ningos took. ‘Well, half of them have gone the right way. Shall we see if we can get the other half going that way too?’ He paused, chewing on his thoughts a moment. ‘Could you fly high and overtake them, try and get them back to here? Then I’ll try to usher them down the right path again.’ He moved into position again, prepared, hopeful their tricks would work a second time, and that the ningos would be safe in their abode once more.
