"Oh sure, you reached it first," Tal agreed, still holding himself up with help from the wall that he'd leaned against when he'd started laughing, a few chortles still erupting between words. "But... Sah... you idiot..." He snickered and wiped a tear from his eye. "We weren't racing. We were playin' tag. An' I was still 'it' when you kicked me! So y'got so distracted wantin' t'be ahead of me that y'made yourself lose the game!"
He slid to the ground beside Sah when the hunter joined him and looked up at the hole, nose wrinkled. A curious roar echoed down the shaft and he started chuckling again as he nudged his companion lightly (not the dragon) in the ribs. "We're right underneath where we started!" Sure enough, Boreal and Lilly were far above in the Undergrove cavern it had all began in, likely wondering what their crazy humans were getting into now.
He just rolled his eyes at the teasing threat with a huffed: "They wouldn't find you, either!" before the pair rolled to their feet and began retracing their path. "Waaay ahead of you, Jester. As always," Tal grinned, even though they were now walking side-by-side.
