Li Ming: *Adores her new shiny necklace, some days incapable of taking her eyes off it. Her first prize from a human camp! She hadn't shown it to her brothers yet out of pure possessiveness, and to this point the pup still hadn't grown bored of its silver chain, its small but pretty onyx stones and flecks of jade, knwoing that if she wore it it would of course compliment her eyes well.*

Toran: *eyes the new pup from the bushes, licking his chops and getting ready pounce. He has been in a new phase lately. The learning to the hunt phase. And he wanted to hunt everything. He crouched low before springing out of the bushes, dashing towards Li Ming and successfully tearing the necklace off her neck. Success!* Ha-ha! Hunting Master Toran strikes again! His prize is beautiful and the feast shall be big! Mua-ha-ha-ha*cough*HA!

Li Ming: *Ohwhattheheck. It was there and now . . . wasn't.* Hey! DDDDD< *gets right to her paws and dashes after the big-eared weirdo, baring her teeth as she makes to leap on his back* Get back here!

Toran: *yelps and bucks before running around in circles* What the-!? Get off! This is my kill! *rolls over and kicks legs at Li ming*

Li Ming: *Oh, but she had learned after getting a ride from that Skipgear girl how to stay on properly, and she dug her teeth into his fur mercilessly. Normally the gurl wouldn't have exhibited such measures, but dangit her shiny was involved! No thief stole from her without her permission!* Shoo bedduh shtop now 'fore you loosh fuh! *Her warning is issued through a locked jaw, though of course Li was flopping this way and that, close many times to falling off - oh, but for sure she wasn't going to go without a prize!*

Toran: *Yelping when the other pup dare to sink her teeth into him, he decided to go for a second to last resort. Somehow he managed to tilt his head up, and swallow the necklace, only small part of the chain left hanging from the edge of his mouth. He choked a bit trying to get it down, but he was a man, and a man could easily swallow the bones of a grizzly whole! Or so he assumed.* I'll never *cough* give up you *coughcough* you ugly buttbutt!

Li Ming: *The boy . . . he . . . what . . . ?! Her eyes go wide with shock, her jaw slack enough that one quick rump bump later and she was on the floor, rolling to a stop with an oof and a "wake-up!" pain in her shoulder upon impact. Getting to her paws, she could only stare at him, eyes welling up with tears, lip quivering.* Wh-Why would . . . wh-why . . . ?

Toran: *torn between swallowing and coughing up the last bit of necklace stuck in his throat, he finally decided to hack it back up, which he did, along with today's lunch and a bit of breakfast. He looked down to notice the necklace almost completely buried in his stomach acid, then looks up to see the near tears she-pup.* .........You can have it. *he murmurs while gesturing to the steaming pile of unspeakable things*

Li Ming: *sniffles, her nose wrinkling at the disgusting pile of . . . what was that, bird hack-up?* C-Clean it up f-first. *Even when distraught at the sight of her beautiful jewel, she had the audacity to command him*

Delu - *Wanders by and makes a face* Ugh..uncouth little heathen pups.

Toran: *wrinkles nose in digust and wildly shakes his head* Nuh-uh! I'm not cleaning it up! It's....It's......It's gooky! It's yours now, you clean it! *puffs out chest*

Li Ming: *fur fluffs out in response; how dare he!* It's y-your gooky! You clean it, big-ears! 3< O-Or I'll bite you some more!

Domovoi: ^^; *tries to nudge his charge away from the pups* Let's not bother them please, m'lady . . .

Toran: Nuh-uh, your necklace! You clean it buttbutt! *turns around and shakes rear at Li Ming* Nyah-nyah!

Li Ming: Rrrrrrrrrr!! *steps over to the pile of nasty, puts a paw in it, and flings excess throw up at his target of a butt*

Delu - * scowls at Domo or a moment before continuing on her way* I have no desire to spend time refereeing a fight amongst common pups.

Toran: *yelps and head toward a large tree, dragging his behind on the ground to clean it in a way. He jumped up and hid behind the tree, occasionally peeking out from his hiding spot*

Li Ming: *switches between pitiful whining and soft growls as she extricates her necklace from the messy pile, making faces as he dragged it on the ground to the nearest body of water: a small pond. She seemed to ignore him for the time being as she dunked the jewel in and began to clean it up*

Domovoi: *nods, relieved that they weren't stopping and eagerly following after her* Yes, m'lady . . . *was getting a bit queasy with the stench of upchuck anyway*

Toran: *watches for a bit before grinning a wolf's grin. He slowly creeped out of his hiding spot before he ran up to Li Ming, tackling her and dumping them both in the pond.*

Li Ming: Wah! *She is forced in by his push, almsot breathing in water. She scrambles to swim away from him, the necklace now looped about her neck, some of the chains in her mouth as she doggy paddled to the surface and towards shore, not at all amused. Her intent now was to get the heck away from this guy*

Toran: *tiling his head in confusion as she leaves, he paddles furiously to catch up* Why ya leaving? We're playing!

Li Ming: *Only when she is on the shore does she turn to him, ears flat, green eyes bright with fury as she hisses* Nobody touches my shiny unless I say so, got it? *Looks like those tears disappeared really quick. Ooo, how great revenge it would be to snatch one of those silver rings in his too-big ears and take it for herself, see how he felt about it*

Toran: *hangs head in defeatacknowledgment* Yes Buttbutt.... *trots up to Li Ming and gives her necklace a quick sniff* So, where'd ya get it?

Li Ming: *pulls her head back at hsi sniffing, trying to keep up her regal posture* I don't tell my secrets to just anyone, let alone wolves who dare call me "buttbutt". So bye, stupid bat ears. *turns to leave*

Toran: *snorts in annoyance and quickly follows* Well, you never told me your name! And my ears are fine! They're better then yours!

Li Ming: Hmph! Bigger's not always better. A smart boy would ask instead of just going straight onto insults. *sounds disapproving as she picks up her pace, wanting to go home* Stay on the flatlands where you belong, puker. The mountains aren't for idiots like you.
