Looking down at the basket as well, she looked back up at him with a confused look, "...tag? How do you ..play tag?" She asked before looking away for a moment, wondering if it was normal for a kid to not know what this 'tag' thing was.

Ask noticed that she was a little embarrassed by not knowing what tag was. But he wasn't surprised. If her parents and siblings were so oblivious to her feelings she probably wouldn't know what these things were. "Basically we chase each other. One of us is 'it' and has to catch and touch the other, then they become 'it'."

The girl stares at him, nodding as she listens, "So.. just chasing, tapping and shouting 'yous it'..?" She asks curiously, hoping she got the basic premises of the game down before she makes an even greater fool of herself.

"Yup. That's it." He climbed down the tree till he could reach her. Then he poked her forehead. "And you're it!" before jumping out of the tree and using his little wings to glide as best he could to the ground before dashing off through the trees.

Moira stood there for several moments before blinking, turning to watch the boy run off between the trees. "Not fair!" She shouts, pouting as she makes her way past the tree they had been picking apples from to chase him. "Get back here..!"

Ask laughed at her as he ran and stuck his tongue out over his shoulder. "Catch me!" the 'if you can' was silent but still present. He dodged through the trees with his wings folded as close to his back as he could.

Growling lowly, she stopped for a moment to watch where the other was going as she narrowed her eyes. Placing a hand on the slightly cold ground, still damp with morning dew and taking a deep breath, she got into a racing-start position. After a few seconds of calm, she looked up and started running, trying her best to catch up to him, remaining silent as she ran.

Ask was pretty flight of foot, but even he was surprised at how fast and focused Moira was. He might have to resort to Traveling in order to evade her. But this was a game, so maybe he'd only Travel to catch her once she caught him. In the mean time he wasn't going to make catching him easy.
He dodged around trees and ran without pattern. Sometimes he was able to use his wings for extra balance when he turned very sharply. "You're fast Moira!"

Moira tried her best to keep up with him, watching him dodge around and between trees as if he was dancing. Thanks to the wonderful distraction of watching where the other was going, the girl wasn't particularly watching where she was going. There was an awkward yelp as her foot caught a tree root that had been sticking up out of the ground but was hidden under a small pile of dead leafs, sending her flying a few feet away and landing face down in the grass.
"Ow.." She muttered as she started to sit up, dusting her clothes off of the dirt and grass that had collected on her, her mahogany shirt now covered in grass stains.

Ask stopped when he heard an "Ow!" and turned around. He started running back towards her. "You ok, Moira?" He was concerned, the last thing he wanted was for her to be hurt.

The girl glanced up at Ask when he spoke up, noticing that he was coming back towards her. She tried not to smirk as she continued to dust off herself, standing and regaining her balance before looking at her knees, one of which was bleeding. "Well.. could be worse.." Moira states with a slight shrug and looking up to the boy again, this time she was grinning.
Even though she had gotten hurt, she didn't want to be the last one being 'it'. Starting back at a run towards Ask, she went to tag him. "It!" She shouts before running off.

Ask gaped at her for a moment. He'd been concerned and she'd played him like a fiddle! That little fiend. He took after her determinedly. Despite her tricksiness he had to admire her gall.

Gratefully using the time that Ask had taken to stand there and admire her, grinning the entire time. The girl couldn't help but laugh a little before falling silent and running through the trees, eying some of the branches before jumping to grab a hold of a low branch and climb up, wanting to get a height advantage, even if it meant losing some time.

Hight advantage didn't always mean much when Ask could augment his jumps with wings and teleport. For now he was satisfied with chasing her on the ground. But he'd get her for using his concern against him. Hadn't she ever heard of the boy who cried wolf?

Now in the tree, Moira took the time to catch her breath and to look down at her scraped knee which was starting to bleed pretty badly. "That really did hurt.." She murmured to herself as she shifted on the tree branch, ripping off a good chunk of her right glove off so she could wrap the scrape. Shaking her head a little, she looked around again before wondering if she should head down to the ground or make a risky jump to the next tree.
